🔥 Hot off the press! 🔥 👉 Mental stress is a known cardiovascular risk factor, especially in #women. 👉 The #amygdala, our brain's center for managing fear and negative emotions, shows activity levels that closely match reported stress levels. 👉 Could positron emission tomography (#PET) imaging of the amygdala be the key to better risk stratification in cardiovascular patients? 💡 Dive into the details of our interdisciplinary study, the first of its kind in #Europe, now published in the European Heart Journal: https://lnkd.in/ehK3Ye2F #HeartHealth #MentalStress #CardiovascularResearch #PETScans #EuropeanHeartJournal #InnovativeResearch #gebhardlab Nidaa Mikail, Prof. Dr. med.

🌟 Navigating the Complexity of Tremor and Dystonia 🌟 Tremor and dystonia are intriguing movements that often coexist, yet they present unique challenges in their descriptions. Tremor, rhythmical and oscillatory, stands in contrast to the sustained or repetitive postures of dystonia. Sometimes these movements occur in the same body region, creating a puzzle for clinicians to untangle. The term "dystonic tremor" has sparked much debate, initially distinguishing tremor-like movements in dystonia from more common types. However, its usage has expanded and often overlaps with other terms like "tremor associated with dystonia" and "dystonia-tremor syndrome." 🏥 A team of specialists is pushing for clarity! By reviewing and refining terminology, they aim to simplify how we describe these conditions. Clear, consistent terms can empower clinicians to make informed decisions and potentially integrate future tools like motion analysis for better diagnosis. Understanding tremor and dystonia's coexistence is crucial for advancing patient care. Let's keep challenging and redefining our approach for a clearer path forward! 🧠 Read Research 👉🏻 https://lnkd.in/d5sNerT7 #research #pubmed

Exciting developments in the understanding of Multiple Sclerosis (MS) have emerged, thanks to the dedicated efforts of EVERSANA! Our latest blog post, authored by Elizabeth Halloran, Abril Oliva Ramírez and Sumeet Singh, in collaboration with coauthors from the University of Buffalo, Janssen Scientific Affairs, Certara USA and the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute, delves into groundbreaking findings on brain volume loss in MS patients. Discover how these insights could pave the way for innovative treatments and improved patient outcomes: https://ow.ly/eKHP50TWfqu. #MultipleSclerosis #BrainHealth #MedicalResearch

In honor of Healthy Vision Month, we’re highlighting a recent discovery in vision loss prevention from UVA Health School of Medicine scientists. Ambati Jayakrishna, MD, Shao-bin Wang, PhD, and colleagues have identified a potential new target to prevent the formation of abnormal tangles of blood vessels. Abnormal vessel overgrowth is typically associated with vision impairment and eye conditions such as neovascular age-related macular degeneration. Ambati and Wang’s new research not only deepens the medical community’s current understanding of vision loss but also opens possibilities for cost-effective and accessible treatments, avoiding drug resistance concerns found in conventional anti-VEGF therapies.
