Not All Caregivers' Stories Are The Same, But Their Pain Is
I had a great conversation the other day with a woman who takes care of her 90-year-old mother. Her mom continues to live independently, which is a nice way of saying that her daughter would prefer having her fingernails ripped out than having mom come stay with her. The daughter pays through the nose to have in-home caregivers pretty much around the clock.
Before you rush to judge and marvel at what money can buy, just know that this adult daughter feels the burden of caregiving as acutely as the rest of us. She feels the same sense of loss, the same guilt, the same obligation, the same sometimes-resentment. She too makes...

Annelizabeth ’s story: Care that feels like home, close to home
When you’re 5, it’s nice to have a place that feels like a second home. Where there are lots of hugs. And songs. And games. And you can curl up and watch “Frozen,” your favorite movie.
For Annelizabeth Jean-Baptiste, a spunky Waltham kindergartener, that place is Boston Children’s Hospital at Waltham.
Annelizabeth, or Annie (but never Anna, she says), first came to Boston Children’s at Waltham two weeks after she was born.
Her mother Elcie wasn’t expecting that her fourth child would need special care. “It was a difficult pregnancy. I was very excited and relieved when she was born.” But that sense of rel...

The Real-Life Ghostbusters of the Brain
This article was originally posted on Inverse.
By Yasmin Tayag
"In a sense, we are absolutely the ghosts we are sensing," Giulio Rognini, Ph.D., a senior scientist at EPFL's Laboratory of Cognitive Neuroscience, says.
Rognini is part of a team of researchers at Switzerland's Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne that might be best described as the real-life ghostbusters. The team is attempting to understand what makes our brains want to believe that apparitions are ghosts.
While he's more than willing to admit that ghostly sensations are completely real, he'll be the first to point out that they're not actually ca...

Feasibility Survey on Outpatient Management of Hypertension In Algeria
Hypertension (HT) is a prevalent condition, contributing risk factor to heart failure, heart attack and stroke. Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) is important for improving the diagnosis and management of HT as recommended by the guidelines published by the NICE in the UK in 2011. However there is a lack of data on the follow up of theses guidelines in the Maghreb countries. We aimed in this survey to assess the management of HT and usage of ABPM in daily practices in Algeria.
