This discovery could help pave the way for innovative methods that address post-anesthesia complications. When coming out of anesthesia, more than one-third of patients can experience either extreme drowsiness or hyperactivity, a side effect called delirium.

According to Akamai, 83% of web traffic now goes through APIs. As the reliance on APIs grows, application layer attacks have significantly increased, creating…
