'Netflix and kill?' Binge watching box-sets linked to blood clots
Conclusion
This study used data from a large Japanese cohort study to assess the link between the number of hours spent watching the television and the risk of death from pulmonary embolism.
The study found that a greater number of hours watching the television increased the risk of death from pulmonary embolism.
The main strength of this study is the very large sample size and long follow-up periods. However, there are a number of limitations:
this study design is not able to prove cause and effect, so while there appears to be a link, we cannot be sure the cause of mortality is from television watching
even thoug...

How To Find Your Calling (From 5 People Who Found Theirs)
Why does our culture perpetuate the belief that “finding oneself” is an age-specific phase, reserved only for angst-ridden teenagers and wanderlust-stricken 20-somethings? The notion of finding a passion is all-too-frequently aligned with youth and impulsivity, but truthfully, we’re all quietly seeking our next challenge, our next calling.
We’re of the belief that it’s never too late to course correct your life, and given the job-hopping numbers, we’re probably not the only ones. Though the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics does not regularly track career changes, in a recent study of late...

How Your Brain Is Making You Fat (And What To Do About It)
Thousands of Americans woke up this morning and declared, "Today is the day I start my diet. Er, well, maybe tomorrow."
When you start that diet is probably irrelevant anyway. "Only 3 out of every 100 people who reach their goal manage to maintain that weight loss beyond the first year." Three! Yup, "losing weight" is no longer just an idealistic New Year's resolution; it's a daily tradition.
Why is it that human beings can shoot a rocket into space, climb Everest,
but can't refuse a piece of chocolate cake?
It's not a lack of willpower. Processed foods have changed the way our brain chemistry to a point that our bod...

Analyzing brain patterns may help neuroscientists increase people ’s confidence, reduce fear
A new technique of analyzing brain patterns appears to help people overcome fear and build self-confidence.The approach, developed by a UCLA-led team of neuroscientists, is described in two new papers, published in the journals Nature Communications and Nature Human Behaviour.Their method could have implications for treating people with depression, dementia and anxiety disorders, including post-traumatic stress disorder, said Hakwan Lau, a UCLA associate professor of psychology and the senior author of both studies. It could also play a role in improving leadership training for executives and managers.In theNature Human Be...

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 populationâ€...

Abstract B16: Comparing heart age among Alabama residents with and without a history of cancer
Conclusion: Among the sample of 8,153 Alabama residents, cancer survivors have significantly higher heart age score, suggestive of greater risk for developing cardiovascular disease than residents with no history of cancer. Additional analyses will include exploring decision tree and logistic regression models to predict cancer diagnosis. Disparities in race, age, socioeconomic status, and geographic locations will be explored. Future research includes developing interventions to reduce the cardiovascular risk among cancer survivors.Acknowledgments: This study was approved by the University of Alabama at Birmingham Institu...

Feasibility of Google Glass for Remote Resident Supervision and Evaluation (P1.039)
Conclusions:This pilot feasibility study is a first step in applying mobile telemedicine using GG for remote supervision and evaluation of neurology residents. Early experiences suggest good technical feasibility and patient acceptance. Primary outcome analysis of inter-rater agreement between in-person and remote (GG) evaluation of the NIHSS and NEX assessments is pending.Study Supported by: This study receives support from an American Academy of Neurology Education Grant, as well as from an American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology Faculty Fellowship Award.Disclosure: Dr. Carrera has nothing to disclose.

Circulating Microparticles are Associated with Visuospatial Ability in the Framingham Heart Study (P1.257)
Conclusions:An association was observed between circulating levels of platelet MPs and reduced performance on the Hooper Visual Organization Test, a measure sensitive to cerebrovascular disease. The results are hypothesis-generating and further research is needed to understand the potential role of MPs in cognitive dysfunction.Study Supported by:NHLBI (N01-HC-25195; HHSN268201500001I), NINDS (R01NS017950), NIA (T32-AG036697) and AHA (15GPSPG23770000).Disclosure: Dr. Aparicio has nothing to disclose.

Staged residential post-acute rehabilitation for adults following acquired brain injury: A comparison of functional gains rated on the UK Functional Assessment Measure (UK FIM+FAM) and the Mayo-Portland Adaptability Inventory (MPAI-4).
CONCLUSIONS: The UK FIM+FAM and MPAI-4 provide complementary evaluation across functional tasks ranging from self-care to participation. This study supports their use for longitudinal outcome evaluation in community residential rehabilitation services that take patients at different stages of recovery.

UCLA helps many to live long and prosper
In Westwood, more than 100 faculty experts from 25 departments have embarked on anall-encompassing push to cut the health and economic impacts of depression in half by the year 2050. The mammoth undertaking will rely on platforms developed by the new Institute for Precision Health, which will harness the power of big data and genomics to move toward individually tailored treatments and health-promotion strategies.On the same 419 acres of land, researchers across the spectrum, from the laboratory bench to the patient bedside, are ushering in a potentially game-changing approach to turning the body ’s immune defenses again...
