Recent advancements in neuroscience have unveiled new insights into the neural processes responsible for self-referential cognition. This research has brought particular attention to a critical neural network known as the default mode network (DMN), comprising brain regions such as the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC), posterior cingulate cortex, temporoparietal junction (TPJ), and both lateral and medial temporal lobes. Central to self-related […]

Boston Children’s Hospital recently announced its plans to transition to a unified Epic electronic health record. Similar to Salt Lake City-based Intermountain Health and Pittsburgh-based UPMC, Boston Children’s – which currently uses both Epic and Cerner PowerChart – says it plans to make the migration to a single Epic platform across all its care sites in 2024.  Boston Children’s IT department […]

Scientists have identified a molecule that can prevent tangling of a brain protein that is linked to diseases such as Parkinson’s. The findings may provide insights into new ways of treating or diagnosing the early stages of dementia. Alpha-synuclein, a protein found in brain cells, is commonly associated with neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s, a debilitating neurological disorder affecting millions […]

Dr Hilary discusses possible Covid wave As the UK heads into the autumn season, the bad weather sparks fresh fears of twindemic of flu and COVID-19. The colder season usually sees everyone you know suddenly sneezing, sniffling or worse. One of the reasons behind the boom in respiratory illnesses is that cold air damages the immune response occurring in the nose, combine […]

Just six numbers — fed into a new analytical tool — can predict which patients with COVID-19 will go on to develop life-threatening infections. This is the report of a team of researchers from Rutgers University who used machine learning to create a simple-to-use prognostic model for Covid outcomes. Their formula, which they hope to introduce into tools commonly used […]

The vagus nerve, known for its role in ‘resting and digesting,’ has now been found to have an important role in exercise, helping the heart pump blood, which delivers oxygen around the body. Currently, exercise science holds that the ‘fight or flight’ (sympathetic) nervous system is active during exercise, helping the heart beat harder, and the ‘rest and digest’ (parasympathetic) […]

The estimated prevalence of relative energy deficiencies (REDs) varies by sport, ranging from 15% to 80%. The syndrome often goes unrecognized by athletes themselves, their coaches, and team clinicians, and may unwittingly be exacerbated by the “sports culture,” because of the perceived short term gains on performance from intentionally or unintentionally limiting calorie intake, warns the Statement. REDs was first […]
