The 10 Trends Shaping the Future of Pharma
The drug sends a message to a caregiver after the patient swallowed it. The doctor prescribes virtual reality treatments for migraines. Do you think it is science fiction? You are mistaken.
The pharma industry has taken a big swung into digital transformation. All participants invest in digital health topics. But as with all trending issues, and there is a lot of fuss that is hard to see through. As the medical community increasingly acknowledges the importance of digital health, the cultural shift we so often talk about is still a way to go.

In conclusion, the present study supports that some age-related diseases as well as education are causally related to longevity and highlights several new targets for achieving longevity, including management of venous thromboembolism, appropriate intake of sugar, and control of body fat. Our results warrant further studies to elucidate the underlying mechanisms of these reported causal associations.

On the Mechanisms of Late-Life Depression
Major depressive disorder, more commonly known as depression, is all too prevalent a part of the human condition. Like many aspects of brain function, a great many layered mechanisms are investigated and debated by the research community, while still being poorly understood as a whole. Pharmaceutical treatments for depression are actually quite good for those people that they work for, but finding the right treatment can be a haphazard, experimental journey of years and different approaches for those who suffer. We might suspect that these treatments are essentially compensatory in nature, touching on mechanisms (such as s...

Why Do Some People Without Mental Health Problems Experience Hallucinations? Replication Study Casts Doubt On Previous Theories
By Emma Young
Hallucinations are a common symptom of schizophrenia and related disorders, but mentally well people experience them, too. In fact, work suggests that 6-7% of the general population hear voices that don’t exist. However, exactly what predisposes well people to experience them has not been clear. Now a major new study of 1,394 people native to 46 different countries, led by Peter Moseley at Northumbria University, provides support for two hypotheses from earlier, smaller studies — namely, that a history of childhood trauma and a propensity to hear non-existent speech among background noise are both...

Unmasking the faces of COVID: pages from a neurologist ’s diary [PODCAST]
“COVID was ominously not only drowning people in their own spit but struck in different shades to alter human personality that kept helplessly getting lost in the maze of their own minds. It made the young maniacal, hearing voices and talking to walls in a schizophrenic frenzy. It made the elderly become muted in silence.Read more …Find jobs at Careers by KevinMD.com.

A man in his 50s with schizophrenia, hypoglycemia, and vague chest pain and shortness of breath for a few days
Written by Pendell Meyers with edits by Steve SmithBystanders called EMS for a man in his 50s " not acting right. " Medics found a man with altered mental status, immediately measured a blood glucose of 42 ng/mL, and administered glucose. There was immediate improvement in his mentation, but it was " not back to normal. " Now that the patient was able to give some history, he was able to complain of chest pain and shortness of breath off an on for " a few days. " The impression that I get from the documentation is that the patient was still felt to be somewhat altered, and the history was felt to be somewhat unr...

Normal Toddler Behavior vs ADHD
An official diagnosis of ADHD can be hard to pinpoint as its symptoms can often be indicative of other conditions, but it is especially hard to diagnose in children under the age of four, as most children naturally experience about a year of extreme energy that generally encompasses their third birthday. This realization may be, in turn, both comforting and exhausting as parents learn that their toddler is likely just exhibiting the rampant energy normal for their age group.
What is ADHD?
Children with an official diagnosis of ADHD consistently present symptoms of inattentiveness, over-activity, impulsivity, or some combin...

How can we help our brain-traumatized soldiers and vets? Nancy raises a ‘ call for ACTION ’ .
Nancy Martin-Crisco wrote a heart-rending response to a blog I posted (“How to get PTSD. Twice. Worse.”) that you all should read. Her son Christopher was diagnosed with PTSD after service in Afghanistan. After a few months stateside, he was redeployed to Baghdad. It was NOT good for him. Addiction, divorce, separation from his child, depression, anxiety, anger management issues, problems with relationships, poor focus, still PTSD, a feeling of worthlessness and shame because he’s here, with us, discharged because of his addiction after 10 years in the Army, instead of with his fellow soldiers, who he f...
