MyBlueDots5 months ago01 mins

Some health problems, including chronic pain, inflammation and neurological diseases, can be treated by nerve stimulation, for example, with the help of electrodes that are attached to the ear and activate the vagus nerve. This method is sometimes referred to as an “electric pill.”

Brain receptor study offers hope for preventing epilepsy after traumatic brain injury

MyBlueDots5 months ago01 mins

A new international study has unveiled critical insights in understanding post-traumatic epilepsy (PTE), a condition that can develop following traumatic brain injury. Published in Theranostics, the study highlights the important role played by a receptor in the brain called P2X7. It suggests how we could both reduce epilepsy risk and predict which patients are most at risk of developing PTE by targeting this receptor.

Innovative voice-based approach enables early detection of Alzheimer’s disease

MyBlueDots5 months ago01 mins

A multi-task learning framework, DEMENTIA, has been developed by Prof. Li Hai and his team at the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, to improve the early detection and assessment of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). The research was recently published in the IEEE Journal of Biomedical and Health Informatics.
