How Virtual Reality Is Expanding Health Care
Clinicians can help patients recover from strokes while they’re anywhere in the world—even states or countries far away from each other—by using a combination of robotics and virtual-reality devices.
It’s happening at Georgia Institute of Technology, where Nick Housley runs the Sensorimotor Integration Lab. There, patients undergoing neurorehabilitation, including those recovering from a stroke, are outfitted with robotic devices called Motus, which are strapped to their arms and legs. The goal: to speed up recovery and assist with rehabilitation exercises. Patients and practitioners using the syste...

Telomere Length as a marker of biological aging: A critical review of recent literature
CONCLUSION: The present review attempted to examine the purported relation between leukocyte TL and age-related diseases such as CVD and more specific stroke and heart disease in view of the best established, comprehensive, medical and epidemiological criteria that have characterized the focused recent relevant research. Although several recommendations have been made that may contribute significantly to the field, a call for novel technical approaches and studies is mandatory to further elucidate the possible association.PMID:35838223 | DOI:10.2174/0929867329666220713123750

Cardiac output changes after osmotic therapy in neurosurgical and neurocritical care patients: A systematic review of the clinical literature
ConclusionsMannitol or HTS administration seems to induce an enhancement of cardiac performance; being more prominent after HTS infusion. This effect combined with mannitol‐induced enhancement of diuresis and HTS‐promoted increase of plasma sodium concentration could partially explain the effects of osmotherapy on cerebral hemodynamics.

Silent pauses in aphasia
Publication date: Available online 7 April 2018 Source:Neuropsychologia Author(s): Georgia Angelopoulou, Dimitrios Kasselimis, George Makrydakis, Maria Varkanitsa, Petros Roussos, Dionysis Goutsos, Ioannis Evdokimidis, Constantin Potagas Pauses may be studied as an aspect of the temporal organization of speech, as well as an index of internal cognitive processes, such as word access, selection and retrieval, monitoring, articulatory planning, and memory. Several studies have demonstrated specific distributional patterns of pauses in typical speech. However, evidence from patients with language impairment is sparse and res...

Working memory impairment in aphasia: The issue of stimulus modality
Publication date: Available online 24 May 2018 Source:Journal of Neurolinguistics Author(s): Dimitrios Kasselimis, Georgia Angelopoulou, Panagiotis Simos, Michael Petrides, Christos Peppas, Georgios Velonakis, Antonios Tavernarakis, Ioannis Evdokimidis, Constantin Potagas The presence of short-term/working memory deficits in aphasia has been well-established in the relevant literature. Moreover, recent studies have demonstrated such deficits in both the verbal and visuospatial modalities in patients with aphasia following a left hemisphere stroke. The present study aims to investigate the prevalence and possible lesion co...

P-020 Process improvement with pre-tranfser intubation for patients undergoing mechanical thrombectomy; not just for the COVID pandemic
ConclusionAn established protocol of pre-transfer intubation is safe and feasible. Intubation prior to transfer does not negatively affect DIDO yet significantly decreases door to groin time at the CSC.Disclosures M. Stiefel: None. J. Strauss: None. J. Shapiro: None. S.

Georgia Regents University study: Sex hormone linked to autism (VIDEO)
Scientists at Georgia Regents University in Augusta say a sex hormone that helps protect females from stroke may also reduce their risk of autism.
The researchers have found that the expression of estrogen receptor beta is significantly decreased in autistic brains, reports Georgia Health News.
The findings about estrogen receptor beta as well as that of an enzyme that converts testosterone to estrogen could help explain the high testosterone levels in autistic individuals and higher autism rates…

Georgia O'Keefe: Artistic and Culinary Pioneer
Pedernal Mountain.
by guest blogger Pam Peeke, MD, MPH, FACP, FACSM, best-selling author and expert on health, fitness, and nutrition
On a recent trip to Santa Fe, I scheduled a visit Georgia O'Keefe's home and studio in Abiquiu, New Mexico. O'Keefe, known as the mother of American modernism, is most renowned for her extraordinary paintings of super-sized erotic flowers, New York skyscrapers, and New Mexico landscapes.
As I neared the property, I immediately spotted her frequently painted wooden ladder, leaning against a wall, its top rungs extending high above the rooftop.
