Speech uses both sides of brain

Posted: Published on January 17th, 2014

Current ratings for: Speech uses both sides of brain Public / Patient: 4 (1 vote) Health Professionals: 4 (1 vote) Many scientists believe we only use one side of our brain for speech and language. Now, a new study from the US shows that as far as speech is concerned, we use both sides. The study poses a significant challenge to current thinking about brain activity and could have important implications for developing treatment and rehabilitation to help people recover speech after stroke or injury, say the researchers from New York University (NYU) and NYU Langone Medical Center. Senior author Bijan Pesaran, an associate professor in the Center for Neural Science at NYU, says: "Our findings upend what has been universally accepted in the scientific community - that we use only one side of our brains for speech. In addition, now that we have a firmer understanding of how speech is generated, our work toward finding remedies for speech afflictions is much better informed." As well as listening and speaking, speech involves language for constructing and understanding sentences. Thus most studies conclude that speech, like language, happens on one side of the brain. And these studies rely on indirect measurement … Continue reading →

Suchitra Sen died of Super Bug infection?

Posted: Published on January 17th, 2014

There is intense speculation about the real cause of her death that seems to have something to do with the hospital systems around the country and globe. The ICUs and ITUs of big and expensive super-specialty hospitals that provide expensive life-saving Medicare to their patients, using high-end exorbitantly expensive antibiotics, are fast turning into killing zones. Ms. Suchitra Sen's was not the first death of its kind in this hospital. There was yet another case of death just 20 days ago. A leading and highly respected Income Tax lawyer of Kolkata also breathed his last in the same hospital in exactly similar circumstances as Ms. Sen with minor variations here and there. He was admitted to the ITU in the beginning of December 2013 and he passed away 24 days later in the early morning hours after the same see-saw battle for life Ms. Suchitra Sen went through. The team of doctors in both the cases was also the same. According to the hospital sources, who may not come on record now, the cause of his death was the dreaded Super Bug about which the WHO has been issuing constant warnings to Indian hospitals and doctors. His family also confirms … Continue reading →

Posted: Published on January 17th, 2014

St. Louis, MO (PRWEB) January 17, 2014 Also called individualized or customized medicine, personalized medicine is an innovative subcategory of medicine that the FDA has recognized as topic of focus for treating diseases such as mesothelioma cancer. According to Harvard Medical Schools Partners Healthcare Center for Personalized Genetic Medicine (PCPGM), personalized medicine is the ability to determine an individual's unique molecular characteristics and to use those genetic distinctions to: Individualized diagnosis, treatment, and prevention are crucial to the fight against mesothelioma and other types of cancers, said Neil Maune, partner at MRHFM. With the FDAs support, we hope that more funding and wide-spread information about personalized medicine for patients will be accessible in the United States. In a 61-page report titled "Paving the Way for Personalized Medicine: FDA's Role" that was published on the FDAs website in October 2013, the organization states that it plans to help further personalized medicine by focusing on advanced regulatory science. Thanks to this commitment, a number of breakthroughs in genetic research have made it possible for researchers to target specific genetic mutations, which will help lead them to new and more effective mesothelioma treatments. While a traditional approach to mesothelioma treatment may very well … Continue reading →
