The medico-legal and ethical considerations associated with intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring in the USA: overview and proposed guidelines for legal and risk management professionals
Intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring, known by the acronym IONM, is a method for monitoring and recording the inner neurological activity of a patient undergoing surgery. When using conventional means of monitoring, neurological damage during surgery may go undetected. IONM prevents this by indicating what is going on within a patient, often in real time, enabling surgeons to change ...

Perfluorinated compound concentrations in great blue herons eggs near St. Paul, Minnesota, USA in 1993 and 2010–2011
A great blue heron (Ardea herodias) colony on Pig's Eye Island on the Mississippi River near St. Paul, Minnesota, USA, is located near several potential perfluorinated compound (PFC) sources. The PFC concentrations in great blue heron eggs reported from a 1993 collection from the Pig's Eye colony were among the highest measured in bird eggs worldwide. The objective of this investigation was to ...

Oxygen therapy for neurology
A prematurely aged brain has suffered years of abuse from our ever-increasingly toxic environment and unhealthy lifestyles. There is extensive research that shows HBOT may have an effect in rejuvenating a patient’s brain by stimulating the production of new blood vessels. Increased oxygen in the blood flow will re-energize dormant cells in the brain and create new ones. Oxygen to ...

Oliver Sacks: the patient-focused polymath
A man sits on a stage and begins to speak. He is humble and soft spoken; he talks tenderly about a patient of his – an elderly lady in a home who had started to hallucinate. He recalls the story of how he diagnosed her, smiling as he retells the lady’s jokes and remembers how happy she was to understand what was happening to her. The man is Dr. Oliver Sacks, a world-renowned ...

Nuclear factor I-A regulates diverse reactive astrocyte responses after CNS injury
Abstract Reactive astrocytes are associated with every form of neurological injury. Despite their ubiquity, the molecular mechanisms controlling their production and diverse functions remain poorly defined. Because many features of astrocyte development are recapitulated in reactive astrocytes, we investigated the role of nuclear factor I-A (NFIA), a key transcriptional regulator of astrocyte ...

Understanding the Stages: Preclinical Alzheimer`s Disease
Many neurological diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease, can be thought of as continuums, whether the presence and manifestation of the disease are different depending on the stage of the disease. In this article, we provide a high-level overview of the stages in the Alzheimer's disease continuum, with a focus on preclinical Alzheimer’s disease and its importance in patient care and ...

Reactive oxygen species regulate hypoxia-inducible factor 1 differentially in cancer and ischemia
In exercise, as well as cancer and ischemia, hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF1) transcriptionally activates hundreds of genes vital for cell homeostasis and angiogenesis. While potentially beneficial in ischemia, upregulation of the HIF1 transcription factor has been linked to inflammation, poor prognosis in many cancers, and decreased susceptibility of tumors to radiotherapy and chemotherapy. ...

Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s Disease: A Breakdown of the Differences and Similarities
Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease are both neurological diseases that cause progressive damage to the brain, resulting in a decline in neurocognitive function. While Parkinson’s disease is known for affecting movement and function and Alzheimer’s disease is known for affecting cognition, they are a bit more complex than that. Below, we provide an overview of ...
