The Impact of Neurologic Disease on the Urinary Tract
Not only has the influence of neurologic injury and disease on the urinary tract been an intense subject of study throughout much of the history of modern urology but also much of our knowledge of the pathophysiology of normal voiding and voiding dysfunction emerged from observation of the neurologically impaired. Neurourology was my first exposure to urology as a medical student, while rotating on the neurology service. I was fascinated by the variations in voiding dysfunction observed upon injury to the nervous system at each level from the stroke patient to the spinal cord injured.

The Medical Emergency Of Otto Warmbier
All that the doctors who treated Cincinnati, Ohio resident Otto Warmbier knew is what they had seen or maybe read in the news. They knew he had just been released on June 13 from imprisonment in North Korea where he had been held by for more than 17 months. He had been sentenced in March 2016 to 15 years of hard labor for allegedly removing a propaganda poster from a wall at a Pyongyang hotel where he had been staying. The University of Virginia honors student had been visiting the authoritarian state during a five-day trip with a group called Young Pioneer Tours, which is a group out of China – an important note. Ot...

The Temporospatial Role of Microcirculatory Dysfunction in the Prediction of Ischemia or Infarction in Patients with Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhages (P2.281)
Conclusions:This ongoing study suggests that patients with low mean minimal pulsatility index had poor functional outcomes relative to patients that had higher mean pulsatility index.Study Supported by: This work was supported in part by a grant from the McKnight Brain Research Foundation, Brain and Spinal Cord Injury Research Trust Fund, a grant from NIH National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, a Medical Student Anesthesia Research Fellowship awarded by the Foundation for Anesthesiology Education and Research, a grant from the Medical Student Research Program at the University of Florida, and the Departmen...

More to science: working in Business Management
What is your scientific background? I was conferred my PhD in Neuroscience from the Georgetown University Medical Center (GUMC) Interdisciplinary Program in Neuroscience (IPN). I studied central nervous system trauma in rodent models of contusive spinal cord injury. Judy Lytle My thesis centered on a specific type of progenitor cell, and its role in post-injury adult spinal cord tissue. I worked to characterize this cell population’s proliferative capabilities after injury, its ability to become neural cells in the post-injury environment, and tested various growth factors to attempt to recapitulate the cell population�...

What medical doctors and medical students know about physical medicine and rehabilitation - a survey from Central Europe.
CONCLUSIONS: Low knowledge of PRM among all studied groups testifies to the inadequacy of education of the medical community in rehabilitation. CLINICAL REHABILITATION IMPACT: The existing system of under- and postgraduate education of PRM should be urgently rearranged according to European harmonised guidelines.

Disrupting Today's Healthcare System
This week in San Diego, Singularity University is holding its Exponential Medicine Conference, a look at how technologists are redesigning and rebuilding today's broken healthcare system. Healthcare today is reactive, retrospective, bureaucratic and expensive. It's sick care, not healthcare. This blog is about why the $3 trillion healthcare system is broken and how we are going to fix it. First, the Bad News: Doctors spend $210 billion per year on procedures that aren’t based on patient need, but fear of liability. Americans spend, on average, $8,915 per person on healthcare – more than any other count...

The Man Who Grew Eyes
The train line from mainland Kobe is a marvel of urban transportation. Opened in 1981, Japan’s first driverless, fully automated train pulls out of Sannomiya station, guided smoothly along elevated tracks that stand precariously over the bustling city streets below, across the bay to the Port Island. The island, and much of the city, was razed to the ground in the Great Hanshin Earthquake of 1995 – which killed more than 5,000 people and destroyed more than 100,000 of Kobe’s buildings – and built anew in subsequent years. As the train proceeds, the landscape fills with skyscrapers. The Rokkō mounta...

Computers enable researchers to "see" neurons to better understand brain function
A study conducted by local high school students and faculty from the Department of Computer and Information Science in the School of Science at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis reveals new information about the motor circuits of the brain that may one day help those developing therapies to treat conditions such as stroke, schizophrenia, spinal cord injury or Alzheimer's disease."MRI and CAT scans of the human brain can tell us many things about the structure of this most complicated of organs, formed of trillions of neurons and the synapses via which they communicate.
