UTV Night Light Parade Rolls Into Idaho December 12
If you run a side-by-side and you have been looking for an excuse to string some lights on it, Pocatello, Idaho, has one. The KRW Trail Blazers Christmas Nite Light Ride returns for its 15th year on Saturday, December 12, and the one hard requirement for joining in is that your rig has to glow. Where and When According to the KRW Trail Blazers, the ride starts at OK Ward Park at 1400 West Quinn in Pocatello. Things kick off at 2:00 p.m., and judging begins at 5:00 p.m. once the vehicles are lined up and lit. That gap gives you time to get positioned and make sure every strand is working before the judges come through in the dark. What Can Join This is not a UTV-only affair, though side-by-sides are plenty welcome. The organizers say the ride is open to side-by-sides, ATVs, street motorcycles, and ordinary vehicles alike. The one rule across the board: you have to decorate your ride with lights. If it does not light up, it does not belong in this parade. Prizes There are prizes on the line for the best decorated ride and for the rig that uses the most lights. Those are

Portneuf Medical Center offers new technology to advance lung cancer care
POCATELLO — Portneuf Medical Center has started to offer two new technologies that will help pulmonologists detect lung cancer earlier to make it more treatable. The two new technologies are Eon, an artificial intelligence technology, and Ion, a robotic-assisted bronchoscopy technology, according to a news release from PMC. Eon uses AI technology to analyze radiology reports. It is designed to identify possible early signs of lung cancer such as suspicious lung nodules. It helps medical staff identify patients who may need additional evaluation. Ion robotic-assisted bronchoscopy technology allows pulmonologists to target and assess nodules deep in the lung that they may not be able to get otherwise. It is designed to navigate narrow, hard-to-reach areas of the lung with precision. Thanks to this technology, nodules smaller than 1 centimeter will be able to be biopsied, which is impossible with conventional technology. Many standard bronchoscopes can only access the larger central airways of the lungs, but the Ion system can reach all 18 segments. This includes the periphery, which is where many lung cancers begin. This new technology will allow doctors to collect more accurate tissue samples for diagnosis. “This new technology brings a new level of precision to bronchoscopy,” Venumadhav
