disorders like stroke and carotid artery disease,
seizure disorders, and movement disorders, including
Parkinson's disease. Dr. Andrew Dorsch, Division
Chief for General Neurology at Rush University
System for Health, emphasizes that if there is
a nerve somewhere, a neurologist could get involved.

tech. On April 2nd, 2026, a bipartisan group
of lawmakers introduced a bill in the House of
Representatives that would severely limit the
sale of advanced semiconductor manufacturing
equipment to China and other countries. Led by
Representative Michael Bongartner from Washington,
The multilateral alignment of technology controls
on Hardware Act would tighten existing export
controls for semiconductor manufacturing tools
used to create artificial intelligence chips.
If passed, these new restrictions would likely
curtail China's ability to build a fully domestic
artificial intelligence supply chain. China's
imports of semiconductor manufacturing machinery
have surged from $10 .7 billion in 2016 to about
$51 .1 billion last year. And in entertainment
news, mixed reviews did not dissuade mass audiences

in its first five days in North American theaters,
according to studio estimates. With an estimated
$182 million from 80 overseas markets, the film
is looking at an astronomical $372 million debut.
