The patient is a 54-year-old man who presented with dizziness. Upon examination, he was found to have left beating nystagmus that changed to right beating nystagmus. While peripheral vestibular signs were initially observed, central vestibular signs emerged later. Based on the history and examination findings, the possibility of either peripheral vestibular neuritis or central stroke was considered. Three physical exam findings - direction-changing nystagmus, skew deviation, and head impulse test - can help distinguish between peripheral and central causes of acute vestibular syndrome with high sensitivity and specificity.
The document describes KUBIK, an experimental building facility in Spain aimed at improving energy efficiency in buildings. KUBIK has a modular and adaptable design that allows researchers to test the energy performance of different building components, systems, and scenarios. It can be reconfigured to create up to 500 square meters of space across three floors. Sensors throughout KUBIK monitor energy use and indoor conditions. The open and modular design of KUBIK allows easy assembly and disassembly of envelope components, partitions, and mechanical systems to evaluate their performance under realistic conditions.

Educational technology has evolved over the past few centuries from primarily chalkboards and books to increasingly incorporate modern devices. In the 18th-19th centuries, chalkboards and books were the main teaching tools. In the early 20th century, films, photographs and slides began to be used to supplement teaching. Radio stations licensed for education launched in the 1920s. Television was introduced for instructional purposes in the 1950s and computers began being used for education in the 1970s and beyond, with the internet becoming widespread in schools by the late 1990s and 2000s.

The kidneys are located in the lumbar region and remove metabolic wastes from the blood through nephrons, the functional units of the kidney. The nephrons filter blood in the glomerulus and selectively reabsorb certain molecules along the proximal tubule, loop of Henle, and distal tubule. Urine is collected in the calyx and exits the body through the ureters and urinary bladder. The kidneys help regulate blood pressure and the volume/composition of body fluids by controlling waste excretion and red blood cell formation.

The document discusses research on supporting people with intellectual disabilities to live in the community. It finds that deinstitutionalization has generally led to better outcomes for people with intellectual disabilities compared to living in institutions. However, there is variability in outcomes depending on factors like the severity of disability and the design of community-based living arrangements. Specifically, smaller group homes with 1-6 residents tend to have better outcomes than larger clustered housing arrangements or institutions. The quality of staff support and opportunities for meaningful engagement are also important factors influencing life quality. Overall, well-designed and implemented community living options can support good outcomes for everyone, including those with more significant needs, but support must be carefully planned and monitored.
