10 Experiments at the Forefront of Sleep Science
As part of the team at Experiment.com, a crowdfunding platform for science, I get to talk to scientists all the time. I've been an insomniac and poor sleeper all my life, so I decided to run a Sleep Challenge Grant to launch a batch of sleep experiments together on the site. Here's what I'm learning from 10 scientists at the forefront of sleep research: Men who go to sleep late have more sex. "Evening men," who naturally wake up later and go to sleep later, tend to have higher mating success but lower success in social settings like school or business. Dr. Christoph Randler wants to investigate whether there are clues fo...

Environmental Pollution: An Under-recognized Threat to Children’s Health, Especially in Low- and Middle-Income Countries
Conclusions Patterns of disease are changing rapidly in LMICs. Pollution-related chronic diseases are becoming more common. This shift presents a particular problem for children, who are proportionately more heavily exposed than are adults to environmental pollutants and for whom these exposures are especially dangerous. Better quantification of environmental exposures and stepped-up efforts to understand how to prevent exposures that cause disease are needed in LMICs and around the globe. To confront the global problem of disease caused by pollution, improved programs of public health monitoring and environmental protecti...

How one ED uses telemedicine in the ambulance
When you think of telemedicine, what comes to mind? Often the answer is a split screen—physician and patient in separate locations on their computers or tablets. But one health system has shown the true breadth of telemedicine’s reach by using the technology to treat patients during the critical early moments of a stroke. Find out how. The risk of damage and disability in patients who are experiencing a stroke increases with any delay in care delivery. Two emergency physicians at the University of Virginia (UVA) Health System understood the need for speed when it comes to caring for patients in the midst of acute str...

Abstract PR04: Functional mobility disparities in older African American women with cancer in a multisite lay navigation program in the Deep South
Conclusions: AA oncogeriatric females have a greater number of high risk diseases and functional mobility limitations that affect their health, compared to Caucasians. By identifying functional mobility limitations early, proactive interventions can be implemented, monitored, and adjusted to modify or resolve mobility problems that can lead to disability and health disparities in oncogeriatric females. LNs can effectively use the DT to identify functional mobility problems and empower female oncogeriatrics to resolve them; improving health and decreasing health disparities. Data will be used to continue expanding the knowl...

Repeated Autologous Umbilical Cord Blood Infusions are Feasible and had No Acute Safety Issues in Young Babies with Congenital Hydrocephalus.
CONCLUSION: Cryopreserved CB products may be effectively manipulated to provide multiple CB doses. Repeated intravenous infusion of autologous CB is safe and feasible in young babies with congenital hydrocephalus.Pediatric Research (2015); doi:10.1038/pr.2015.161.

'HeART of Stroke (HoS)', a community-based Arts for Health group intervention to support self-confidence and psychological well-being following a stroke: protocol for a randomised controlled feasibility study
Introduction Over 152 000 people in the UK have strokes annually and a third experience residual disability. Low mood also affects a third of stroke survivors; yet psychological support is poor. While Arts for Health interventions have been shown to improve well-being in people with mild-to-moderate depression post-stroke, their role in helping people regain sense of self, well-being and confidence has yet to be evaluated. The main aim of this study is to explore the feasibility of conducting a pragmatic multicentre randomised controlled trial to assess the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of an Arts for Health gr...

Texas gets nearly $5 million from HHS for chronic disease prevention
Health and Human Services has awarded $4.7 million in grants to Texas in support of programs designed to prevent chronic illnesses such as heart disease, stroke and diabetes. The grants, funded in part by the Affordable Care Act, are intended to help strengthen state and local programs created to fight a series of diseases that have become leading causes of death and disability in the U.S. The funding is also part of a national effort to help lower health care costs. The Centers for Disease Control…

Oregon gets more Obamacare grants, this time for preventing diabetes and heart disease
Oregon is receiving $2.6 million in grants from the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services to support programs targeting chronic diseases. Health & Human Services Secretary Sylvia M. Burwell announced the grants on Thursday. They are aimed at programs that prevent heart disease, stroke and diabetes and reduce rates of death and disability due to tobacco use and related to obesity. Four awards are being made to large and small cities and counties, tribes, tribal organizations and community organizations…

Neurology's stake in foundational neuroscience research
The NIH mission is to seek fundamental knowledge about the nature and behavior of living systems and the application of that knowledge to enhance health, lengthen life, and reduce illness and disability. For over a decade, the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) mission statement focused on reducing the burden of illness due to neurologic disorders. While the need for basic research as part of this mission was always implicit, a recently released analysis of NINDS grant applications convinced leadership to make it explicit by adding "advancing fundamental understanding of the nervous system" to ...

Growth, not just size, boosts brain aneurysms' risk of bursting
Brain aneurysms of all sizes — even small ones the size of a pea — are up to 12 times more likely to rupture if they are growing, according to a new UCLA study.   Published July 2 in the online edition of the journal Radiology, the discovery counters current guidelines suggesting that small aneurysms pose a low risk for rupture, and it emphasizes the need for regular monitoring and earlier treatment.   "Until now, we believed that large aneurysms presented the highest risk for rupture and that smaller aneurysms may not require monitoring," said lead author Dr. J. Pablo Villablanca, chief of diagn...

Developing stroke-specific vocational rehabilitation: a soft systems analysis of current service provision.
Conclusions: Stroke-specific VR should be delivered by an integrated, cross-sector multi-disciplinary team and integrated commissioning between health and other sectors is necessary. Although early intervention is important, support later on in the recovery process is also necessary. Service providers need adequate training to meet the needs of stroke survivors wishing to return to work and better awareness of best practice guidelines. Business cases which demonstrate the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of VR are vital. Implications for Rehabilitation The timeliness of a vocational rehabilitation (VR) intervention is compl...
