What is bradyphrenia? Causes, symptoms, and treatment – Bel Marra Health

Posted: Published on June 30th, 2017

Home Brain Function What is bradyphrenia? Causes, symptoms, and treatment Bradyphrenia is the slowness of thought and a common manifestation of many disorders of the brain. It can also be the side effect of several types of psychiatric medication. Bradyphrenia can be appreciated in disorders such as Parkinsons disease and some forms of schizophrenia. It is also called a psychic akinesia. Those affected often display inattentiveness and delayed response, leading to decreased productivity when a task is given. These patients often only respond with one-word answers, not giving a complete reply. Complaints of difficulty thinking and in expressing thoughts is a common occurrence. Much of their time is spent searching for words to describe their feelings when communicating with others. Bradyphrenia is commonly associated with Parkinsons disease, but this is very much still up for debate. Not all Parkinsons disease patients suffer from problems with cognitive function. However, about half of people with Parkinsons do experience some problems with cognitive impairment. Brain damage and side-effects of psychiatric medication are the most common reasons for the development of bradyphrenia. Old age may also be a risk factor. Symptoms of bradyphrenia include: Bradyphrenia is mostly a clinical diagnosis and is typically a … Continue reading →

Intech Rehabilitation & Nursing Center Opens Hotline for Russian Cerebral Palsy Patients – TASS

Posted: Published on June 30th, 2017

BEIJING, June 29, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -Statistics from the World Health Organization show that more than 30 million people across the world suffer from cerebral palsy, posing a great challenge to global prenatal and postnatal care organizations. With the rapid development of the Chinese medical sector, more and more Russian patients are choosing to receive treatment in China. As the first top-of-the-line professional rehabilitation facility that is the result of a collaboration between China and Sweden, as well as the University of Southern California's only overseas training and teaching facility for rehabilitation and nursing, the Beijing Intech Rehabilitation & Nursing Center recently opened an international assistance hotline +86-184-0146-2910 for cerebral palsy patients and their families in Russia. Russia was chosen as the first country for the hotline service due to the friendly nature of the relations between China and Russia, and, in support of the One Belt, One Road initiative, the Chinese government's initiative to revitalize and foster economic and trade ties with the countries that lie across the Euro-Asian landmass.

Disrupted Brain Pathway, Altered Stress Hormones Key to TBI Impact Differences in Men, Women – The Good Men Project (blog)

Posted: Published on June 30th, 2017

Bethesda, Md. The brains of men and women are wired differently, and when it comes to traumatic brain injuries (TBI),women are more likely to develop subsequent neuropsychiatric disorders, like anxiety, depression and post-traumatic stress disorder. Until now, its been unclear why that is, but a new study by researchers at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences (USU) provides that missing link a potentially disrupted pathway in the brain. The study, Sex-dependent effects of mild brain blast injury on neuroendocrine stress response, was funded by theCenter for Neuroscience and Regenerative Medicine at USU. The findings will be presented at the upcoming Endocrine Societys annual meeting by lead author Ashley Russell, a Neuroscience Ph.D. candidate in the F. Edward Hebert School of Medicine at USU, and USU research assistant Elizabeth Shupe. Almost every tissue in the body is affected by the interaction between the nervous and endocrine systems. They produce the hormones that regulate sleep, mood, and metabolism. USU researchers, in collaboration with colleagues at Colorado State University, sought to better understand why it is that blast brain injuries have a different impact on women and men, specifically in the neuroendocrine system. They conducted hormonal, behavioral and anatomical studies measuring … Continue reading →

Staff may lose jobs as brain injury rehab unit shuts – Swindon Advertiser

Posted: Published on June 30th, 2017

A TOTAL of 39 jobs are at risk of redundancy as Swindons only brain injury rehabilitation centre is set to close. Chalkdown House, which is based in Edison Park, was first opened in 2013 by Princess Anne as a multi-million pound state-of-the-art hospital that caters for up to 20 people needing specialist brain injury and mental health treatment. But in the four years that have followed, dwindling admission numbers, struggles to recruit staff as well as financial losses have left the trust in charge with no choice but to close the centre at the end of August amid fears of its long-term sustainability. The Brain Injury Rehabilitation Trust (BIRT), part of The Disabilities Trust, confirmed that despite the staff facing losting their jobs, they are currently consulting with them about redeployment opportunities within the wider organisation at other locations across the country or with local employers. The five people currently undergoing rehabilitation at the centre will be moved to other placements by the NHS organisations funding their care - although that could be anywhere in England. The families of people at the centre have also been informed, along with the funders, about the most sensitive and appropriate way to tell … Continue reading →

Should I Seek Hormone Replacement Therapy? Here’s The Answer! – AXcess News

Posted: Published on June 30th, 2017

Hormone replacement therapy is becoming increasingly popular again, but as with any procedure, it does carry some risks. Everyone is different, and individual needs and treatment options can vary from person to person. Patients should, therefore, consult with their doctor in order to weigh options and decide on the right treatment for each individual patient. New research suggests that the older you are, the more you are at risk for hearing loss as a possible side effect of hormone replacement therapy. The potential for the adverse side effect is further increased if you are a woman experiencing menopause and menopausal symptoms. Many women who wish to try hormone replacement therapy do so in order to ease the symptoms of menopause, which can range from mild to devastating. Some people seek out hormone replacement therapy for other reasons, and thats usually okay. You might think that hormone replacement therapy in California is more popular than it is in, perhaps, Idaho, and based on numbers alone you would be right. But proportionally, the number of patients who decide to receive the therapy might not be as skewed toward one region or another as you might think. That is because hormones are no … Continue reading →

Siberian scientists say stem cells can treat varicose veins – Russia Beyond the Headlines

Posted: Published on June 30th, 2017

Scientists at the Institute of Chemical Biology and Fundamental Medicine (ICBFM) based in Siberia have discovered that stem cells can restore blood flow in veins with clots. Facebook Pinterest WhatsApp "Quite a lot of pathologies regarding veins still remain unstudied." Source: Getty Images To help treat varicose veins, scientists need to accelerate the growth of blood vessels, which would be a crucial development for cardiac medicine. A heart attack is caused by damaged arteries, and an ischemic stroke also often results from vascular damage. "Quite a lot of pathologies regarding veins still remain unstudied," said Igor Mayborodin, a doctor of medical sciences at the stem cell laboratory at ICBFM. "Weve looked into blood flow restoration in situations when there are blood clots. Now were trying to use stem cells to stimulate the growth of veins and bypass the diseased area." The discovery by Siberian scientists will make it possible to successfully treat diseases of the veins and resulting complications, for example, varicosis, phlebothrombosis (the formation of a blood clot in the vein that leads to its blockage), and even some types of trophic ulcers and cerebral strokes. Researchers conducted a number of studies on rats, injecting them with stem cells … Continue reading →

New approach in T-cell therapy to treat cancer – Scientist Live

Posted: Published on June 29th, 2017

With numerous different entities and millions of people affected, cancer continues to be one of the most prevalent diseases around the world. Scientists are working to find new treatment possibilities, and have been concentrating on the bodys own immune system for some time. Because cancer emerges from the bodys own cells, it is usually difficult for the immune system to distinguish good cells from bad ones, explains Prof Dr Elfriede Nner, head of the Tissue Control of Immunocytes Research Group at the Helmholtz Zentrum Mnchen. But there are ways to support the immune system in recognizing and combating cancer cells. Focus on T-cell therapy One approach is the so-called adoptive T-cell therapy, which involves removing immune cells from the body and genetically arming them. The cells are given new structures on the surface that accurately lead them to the cancer cells. One limitation in this form of therapy is that the binding between the immune cell and the cancer cell is often somewhat weak. Although this binding can be artificially strengthened, doing so also increases the risk of unwanted binding to healthy structures in the body, explains study leader Nner. She and her team were therefore searching for a different … Continue reading →
