Innovative MRI technique 'lights up' pancreatic cancer

- By InnoNurse Staff -

Pancreatic cancer is challenging to detect early because the pancreas is deep in the abdomen, making tumors difficult to identify until it's often too late for treatment. Researchers at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel have developed a new MRI technique that could make these tumors more visible by tracking how cells metabolize glucose.

This method builds on Otto Warburg's discovery that cancer cells consume a large amount of glucose and convert it to lactate.

The new technique uses glucose tagged with deuterium, a stable isotope of hydrogen, which is injected into the bloodstream. This allows MRI scans to detect the deuterium-labeled lactate produced by cancer cells, which conventional MRI cannot do due to the overwhelming signal from water in tissues.

The researchers found that this deuterium MRI method could detect even small tumors in rodent models of aggressive pancreatic cancer, offering more sensitivity than traditional MRI and PET scans. The approach could potentially allow for earlier detection and better monitoring of pancreatic cancer, though further clinical studies are needed to confirm its efficacy in humans. The study was led by Prof. Lucio Frydman and Dr. Elton T. Montrazi, along with collaborators at the Weizmann Institute.

Vampires were an extinct human subspecies, discovered and then de-extinct through morally questionable genetic engineering research in the year 1981 by The Genomic Innovation Institute (or G.I.I) in an attempt at finding cures for some neurological disorders through gene therapy and tweaked retroviruses. Thanks to these… Morally questionable experiments, It was discovered that some specific dormant genes were extremely widely spread throughout the population and that these genes could be reactivated in some individuals. In certain cases some of these genes express spontaneously. This gave rise to the theory that some neurological disorders could at least partly arise from the expression of these genes albeit in a very “broken” and rudimentary form. Essentially the treatments to cure certain types of neurological disorders turned out to activate some of these dormant genes, essentially turning the test subjects into what we now call a Vampire. The Genomic Innovation Institute decided to pursue research on this subspecies, hoping to turn a profit. Thanks to them, we now have a complex understanding of Vampires…

They were humanity's natural predator, emerging between 300,000 and 200,000 years ago, around the same time as Homo sapiens, or at least shortly after. They hunted our ancestors with brutal efficiency, to the point that even though we eventually forgot about them (before bringing them back from extinction), they remained engraved in our cultural memory. For lack of better words, they were the things we feared were in the dark.

It's difficult to identify ancient vampire remains, as their identifying traits are primarily neurological and soft tissue-related. However, their skeletal structure does have some minor differences, which allow for identification now that we know what to look for. It seems that vampires began going extinct around 2000 BCE, with their population drastically reducing as civilization emerged. Their extinction was due to more than one factor. 

-Vampires were extremely antisocial, which makes sense for a predatory species whose prey resembled it that much. This however did complicate mating between vampires because vampires didn't just tend to ignore each other but would see other vampires as threats and would often attempt to dispatch each other upon contact. Since sexual dimorphism is quite lacking in Vampires, which not only resulted in both of the sexes looking very androgynous, it also meant that both Male and Female had essentially the same musculature and strength and general ferocity, sexual coercion would have most likely resulted in one or both of the party's demise or heavy maiming, rendering it extremely inefficient. Plus, vampires seemed to generally be very uninterested in copulation, though it did happen from time to time. Strangely enough all of this seemed to have made the idea of mating with humans more appealing for some Vampires which is why like with Homo Neanderthal, Vampiric DNA can be found in modern day humans. (The mating behaviours of Vampires will be discussed more thoroughly in another chapter)

-The Emergency of euclidean architecture seemed to have greatly affected vampires. We discovered that in their eyes, the receptor cells that respond to horizontal lines are cross wired with those that respond to vertical ones. When both are fired simultaneously in a specific way it'll result in quite a violent seizure. We call the effect “The Crucifix Glitch”. While the glitch will only trigger when intersecting right angles occupy more than 30° of visual arc, we discovered, thanks to our currents subjects, that the simple suggestion of the Crucifix Glitch being triggered is enough in 75% of cases to completely dissuade an attack, if they had been exposed to it previously (depending on the vampire's current emotional state). These seizure are quite violent, reminiscent of Tonic-Clonic seizures, but because of the vampire's particular muscular structure and their higher distribution of fast twitch muscle fibers, these seizures tend to result in dislocated limbs much more often than regular seizure. Plus, with the Vampire's unique neurochemistry, we suspect that the seizures are much more distressing for them. In conclusion, the seizures caused by the Crucifix Glitch are extremely traumatizing and painful for vampires to the point that any right angles, even if not in a context that could induce the glitch, will usually make a vampire extremely uncomfortable and anxious (work best if they've been exposed to the glitch at some point in their life). Because of this a lot of the vampires did not even dare to approach human settlements with euclidean architecture, which greatly complicated things for the overall survival of the species.

-Vampires make for terrible parents. Given their natural antisocial behaviour, it’s unsurprising that they aren’t the best caregivers. Despite their longer lifespans, one might expect them to invest more time and effort in their offspring, but this is not the case. In fact, it’s quite the opposite; their longer lifespans and fertility lead them to essentially not value their offspring, as they can always have another later on in life. The father is most likely going to be completely absent, as he typically feels no compulsion to ensure the survival of his offspring. The mother, on the other hand, while interested in her child's survival, is not as invested as one might expect from a primate species. She won't hesitate to abandon her offspring if she considers it a liability. She'll usually take care of it up until it's pre teenage years where she'll abandon it. However, some exceptions to this were found, as we've recently found proof of a Vampire Pack, more on this in a later entry.

-Mating with humans: As previously mentioned, vampires tend to be awful parents, to the extent that some began mating with humans. Why? Because it was easier. Human mating rituals were simple for vampires to emulate, and once mating was complete, the male vampire could leave, confident that its offspring would be cared for. Meanwhile, the female vampire could stay with the human and be looked after during her pregnancy, a wolf in sheep's clothing, she could discreetly sustain her need for blood by feeding on humans in the tribe or even her mate. Once she gave birth, she could either leave or continue caring for her children with a continuous blood supply. Another tactic vampire would use to get out of raising their young is “Brood Parasitism”. They would kidnap human children and replace them with their own. We believe that this is what gave birth to the legends of “Changelings”.

Overall the extinction of Vampires wasn't due to one reason but a combination of many things. A reminder of how evolution might screw you over. You may have been a perfectly adapted predator but something seemingly insignificant can truly come back to bite you.

Speaking of biting, the infamous bite of Vampires while not exactly as described in myths, is nothing to joke about...

This is from a setting of mine, where alot of cryptids, myths, etc are real or were directly influence by real events/creatures all explainable by science, kinda like the amazing YouTube Channel ThoughPotato This entry focuses on Vampires which biology and history is inspired and influenced by the Amazing Peter Watts and his just as amazing books Blindsight and Echopraxia (in fact this setting started out as a AU of his awesome universe)

Ten Key Innovation Signals To Better Serve The Brain Health Needs Of An Aging Population

It's been a busy year, with hundreds of studies and media stories about this website brain health, neuroplasticity, lifestyle and emerging neurotechnologies. To summarize where we are, and to better prepare for the opportunities and challenges in the year ahead, let's step back for a minute. Let me highlight Ten Important Signals to help Reinvent Brain Health in the Digital Age we live in.

It's been a busy year, with hundreds of studies and media stories about brain health, neuroplasticity, lifestyle and emerging neurotechnologies.

To summarize where we are, and to better prepare for the opportunities and challenges in the year ahead, let's step back for a minute.

Let's take a look at the big picture presented in the article Both Important and Urgent: Getting ready to serve the Cognitive & Brain Health needs of an Aging Population, prepared by David Stoller at the new Canadian Centre for Aging and Brain Health Innovation (CC-ABHI):

"The urgency to develop innovative new technologies that will support brain health is closely linked to the fact that a growing proportion of the global population is living longer than at any other time in history. As this population ages, the need to maintain brain health and/or manage declining cognitive function will have far-reaching impact both socially and economically." -- David Stoller @ CC-ABHI.

Good news is, scientists, technologists and entrepreneurs are working hard on this in the US and abroad.

The list of insights and initiatives worldwide is too long to detail; let me just highlight Ten Important Signals to help Reinvent Brain Health in the Digital Age we live in:

"Our health starts and ends with brain health," as Dr. Sandra Bond Chapman, Founder and Chief Director of the Center for BrainHealth at The University of Texas at Dallas, reminds us.

"There is too little wisdom in brain health (as practiced today)," cautions Dr. Peter Whitehouse, Professor of Neurology at Case Western Reserve University.

The American Academy of Clinical Neuropsychology (AACN) just announced a new Disruptive Technology Initiative focused on "assessment and/or intervention-prevention-improvement of cognitive functions, accessible to the entire population."

Both the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) and the Canadian Centre for Aging and Brain Health Innovation (CC-ABHI) have substantial funding programs to help start-ups access seed capital to develop and commercialize evidence-based digital brain health platforms.

Venture investors see a burgeoning landscape and future of the mind training space.

Many pioneers are working on ways to harness neuroplasticity for good, via cognitive assessments and therapies (BrainHQ, Akili, Click Therapeutics, Cogniciti, SBT Group) mindfulness apps (Claritas Mindsciences), EEG (Emotiv) and virtual reality (MindMaze).

A growing number of pharma companies, from Merck to Janssen, are investing in digital therapeutics by developing tools, licensing them, even investing in start-ups in the space.

"Clinically-guided" video capture of behavior can aid in diagnosis…behavior imaging, augmented by deep learning, will lead to real precision medicine, thanks to firms like Behavior Imaging Solutions, MyndYou, Pear Therapeutics, and more.

Old and new players in education--Pearson, ETS, UC Berkeley, the Arrowsmith School-- are developing digital and in-person programs to promote lifelong brain development.

The Coaches and Psychologists of the Future-exemplified by the Institute of Coaching, The Synapse System, the new Watson Centre for Brain Health-are already augmenting their practices with latest brain & cognition findings and digital neurotechnologies.

World’s largest epilepsy study reveals ‘genetic architecture’ and points to new therapies

- By Luciana Constantino , Agência FAPESP -

Considered the largest genetic study of epilepsy in the world, a study published in the journal Nature Genetics reveals specific alterations in DNA that signal a greater risk of the brain disorder.

Identifying these alterations will improve diagnosis and advance the possibility of new treatments for the disease.

The researchers identified 26 different areas (loci) of the genome that are linked to epilepsy, with 29 genes thought to play an important role in the disorder. Of these genes, 17 were associated with epilepsy for the first time; ten are linked to the development of the disease when mutated or altered (known as monogenic epilepsy genes) and the other seven are known to already have approved drugs that focus on treating autism spectrum disorders.

Analysis of the subtypes revealed significantly different “genetic architectures” mainly between two subtypes of epilepsy – focal and generalized – and common variations in DNA can explain between 39.6% and 90% of the genetic risk for the latter type.

Coordinated by a consortium of the International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE) involving more than 350 scientists, the study compared data from 29,944 people with the disease to those of 52,538 control subjects. It included epilepsy cases of European (92%), African (3%) and Asian (5%) descent.

Brazil was the only Latin American representative through the Brazilian Institute of Neuroscience and Neurotechnology (BRAINN), a FAPESP Research, Innovation and Dissemination Center (RIDC) based at the State University of Campinas (UNICAMP).

“We at BRAINN were involved in all stages of the work, from the detailed characterization of the patients from a clinical, imaging and neurophysiological point of view – which we’re very good at – to planning the analyses, suggesting how they could be carried out and then checking the results. We were also actively involved in writing the article, which was submitted to the journal over a year ago. Many international studies exclude patients from Brazil because we have such great genomic diversity. However this study did a meta-analysis, which allows us to combine populations with different genomic structures. For the future, we want to expand this diversity even more,” Iscia Teresinha Lopes-Cendes, a professor at UNICAMP’s School of Medical Sciences and co-author of the BRAINN article, told Agência FAPESP.

There are an estimated 2 million Brazilians with epilepsy, at least 25% of whom are uncontrolled, according to the Ministry of Health. Worldwide, the World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that 50 million people are affected by the disorder, a third of whom are resistant to the treatments available on the market.

A highly hereditary neurological disease with no cure, epilepsy causes seizures, up to 40 or 50 a day in the most severe cases, leading to loss of consciousness and falls. Uncontrolled seizures not only disrupt the patient’s daily routine but also pose a serious risk of sudden and premature death.

Treatment involves a combination of medications, which are not always effective. Most medications reduce the activity of neurons across the board, which controls seizures, but they have side effects. An alternative is surgery to remove the part of the brain affected by the malformation.

Now, the researchers are proposing some medications that are normally used for other conditions, but act on the epilepsy risk genes identified in the study.

Knowledge over time

Recognizing the complexity of the genetic and environmental factors related to epilepsy, the consortium was formed in 2010 to collaborate on investigating large datasets at an international level.

“This is an important milestone for the ILAE Consortium on Complex Epilepsies and shows what can be achieved when scientists collaborate openly and share data from around the world,” said the league’s president, Professor Helen Cross, in a press release.

To arrive at the results suggesting different genetic architectures between focal and generalized forms of epilepsy, genetic data were combined with databases of phenotypic information, expanding the sample to more than 51,600 patients and 1 million “controls.” This discovery of the different genetic framework for the different types of epilepsy provides clues to understanding the various syndromes.

In their work, the scientists point out that the proteins that carry electrical impulses through the gaps between the brain’s neurons are part of the risk for generalized forms of epilepsy. In this sense, they emphasize the importance of accurately characterizing or classifying specific epileptic syndromes (syndromic phenotyping) in order to better understand the genetic basis of the disease.

An advocate of studies with so-called “pure data,” Lopes-Cendes says that she is now working specifically on mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (MTLE) with hippocampal atrophy. “We’ve been continuously generating data for specific research on the topic. I’d argue that in certain studies, mixing information from different types of epilepsy can ’dilute’ the data and not highlight results that might appear if the group of patients studied was more homogeneous. I think a balance is needed,” she adds.

In early 2023, the researcher and her group published another article that deepened our understanding of MTLE, considered the most common and refractory to pharmacological treatment, by evaluating, for the first time, the profile of messenger RNA (mRNA, a molecule that contains the information for the production of proteins) from surgical tissue obtained from patients.

Because of her work in genetics, Lopes-Cendes was recently invited by the WHO to join the new Technical Advisory Group on Genomics (TAG-G), which is responsible for contributing to the process of accelerating access to genomic knowledge and technologies, especially in low- and middle-income countries. The group consists of 15 scientists from different countries.

The article “GWAS meta-analysis of over 29,000 people with epilepsy identifies 26 risk loci and subtype-specific genetic architecture” can be read at: www.nature.com/articles/s41588-023-01485-w.

Understanding Frequency Specific Microcurrent: A Revolutionary Approach to Healing Shaina Tranquilino July 20, 2024

In the realm of alternative medicine, innovative therapies often emerge that challenge traditional paradigms. One such cutting-edge technique is Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM), a therapy gaining attention for its purported healing benefits. FSM harnesses the power of electrical currents, delivered at specific frequencies, to target various health conditions. Let's delve into what FSM entails, how it works, and its potential applications in the realm of healing.

What is Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM)?

Frequency Specific Microcurrent is a form of electrotherapy that uses extremely low-level electrical currents (microcurrents) to stimulate the body's tissues. What sets FSM apart is its precise application of frequencies. These frequencies are thought to correspond with specific types of tissues and conditions within the body.

FSM operates on the principle that each type of tissue in the body has its own unique frequency signature. By applying microcurrents at these specific frequencies, practitioners aim to facilitate healing processes at a cellular level. This approach is rooted in the belief that restoring cellular resonance through targeted frequencies can optimize physiological functions and promote recovery.

How Does FSM Work?

The application of FSM involves several key steps:

Identification of Frequencies: Practitioners identify the frequencies associated with the patient's specific condition or area of concern. This may involve a detailed assessment based on the symptoms and medical history of the individual.

Electrode Placement: Microcurrent electrodes are placed on the skin at predetermined points. These electrodes deliver the precise frequencies identified during the assessment.

Treatment Session: During the session, the patient typically experiences a mild tingling sensation or no sensation at all. The currents are so low that they are usually imperceptible, making FSM a painless therapy.

Duration and Frequency: Treatment duration and frequency vary depending on the condition being treated. Multiple sessions may be required to achieve optimal results.

Healing Potential of FSM

Proponents of FSM suggest a wide range of potential benefits across various health conditions:

Pain Management: FSM is commonly used for pain relief, including musculoskeletal pain, nerve pain, and inflammatory conditions. By targeting specific frequencies associated with pain pathways, FSM may help reduce pain perception and promote tissue healing.

Inflammation Reduction: The anti-inflammatory effects of FSM are also highlighted. By modulating cellular activity and reducing inflammation at a cellular level, FSM may assist in managing chronic inflammatory conditions.

Tissue Repair and Regeneration: The application of microcurrents at specific frequencies is believed to enhance cellular repair mechanisms. This can potentially accelerate healing processes following injuries or surgeries.

Neurological Conditions: Some practitioners advocate FSM for neurological conditions such as neuropathy and even cognitive disorders. The rationale lies in the ability of microcurrents to influence neural pathways and cellular communication.

Frequency Specific Microcurrent represents a fascinating intersection of technology and holistic healing principles. While it continues to be studied and debated within the medical community, anecdotal evidence and some research studies suggest promising outcomes across various health challenges. As with any alternative therapy, it is essential for individuals considering FSM to consult qualified practitioners and explore its suitability for their specific conditions.

As research and clinical understanding evolve, Frequency Specific Microcurrent holds the potential to expand treatment options for those seeking alternatives to conventional medical approaches. Its gentle yet potentially profound effects on cellular function offer a glimpse into the future of integrative medicine, where personalized frequencies may unlock new avenues for healing and wellness.

Stem Cell Therapy: Recent Advancement For Spinal Cord Injuries

A spinal cord injury (SCI) is damage caused to the nerves in the spinal cords that are responsible for sending and receiving signals from the brain. The traumatic lesion in the spinal cord can cause permanent or irreversible sensory and motor deficits. Stem cell therapy has shown massive potential in repairing damaged tissues and promoting recovery of neurological function. Medical research shows the effectiveness of stem cell therapy in treating various neurodegenerative disorders like ischemic stroke, intracerebral hemorrhage, and spinal cord injury.

Causes Of Spinal Cord Injury

The increasing number of cases of spinal cord injuries worldwide has made SCI a global health priority. Sports injuries and road accidents have been recognized as the two common causes of SCI. Although traumatic conditions comprise major triggering factors to induce spinal cord damage, non-traumatic events such as inflammation, spinal disc degeneration, cancer, substantial tissue loss, and infections can also be the reason for injury to the spinal cord and peripheral nervous system,

The emergency symptoms of SCI may include loss of control in body movements due to partial or complete loss of sensory function. It is characterized by loss of motor control of the back, arms, legs, and other body parts, leading to weakness and incoordination. Patients experience extreme pain and pressure in the back, neck, and head.

Other prominent symptoms that doctors have identified as effects of spinal cord damage are -

Difficulty in walking and sitting

Difficulty in breathing

Sudden reflexes or spasms

Loss of control over bladder and bowel movements

Lowered sexual sensitivity and infertility

Trouble in balancing

Numbness or tingling sensation in the hands, fingers, and feet

The Science of Stem Cell Therapy For Spinal Cord Injury Treatment

Spinal cord injury is a severe condition that damages the nerve cells and tissues in the spinal cord, resulting in paralysis or nervous function impairment. Current treatment approaches include medication, rehabilitation therapy, physical therapy, or surgery. However, most of them provide temporary relief and poor outcomes in the long run. Stem cell interventions have emerged as a promising treatment for SCI with its exemplary potential to repair and regenerate injured neurons and tissues.

The distinct ability of stem cells to proliferate and form any functional cell type makes them ideal for treating SCI. The cells self-renew into nerve cells to replace and repair the diseased cells. After they are introduced into a patient’s body, they reach the injured site and interact with the surrounding cells to produce neurotrophic growth factors and alter the microenvironment of the affected region in the spinal cord.

A preclinical study has shown that mesenchymal stem cells release growth-promoting factors that accelerate the growth of axons at the injured area and improve myelination (formation of specialized membranes around axons). Most importantly, the therapeutic potential of stem cells prevents further neuronal degeneration in the spinal cord, lowering inflammation and improving motor and sensory function.

The Intricacies of Cognitive Neuroscience

Introduction

Cognitive neuroscience is a multidisciplinary field that seeks to understand the complex interplay between the brain, cognition, and behaviour. It merges principles from psychology, neuroscience, and computer science to explore the neural mechanisms underlying various cognitive processes.

1. The Fundamentals of Cognitive Neuroscience

Cognitive neuroscience aims to unravel the mysteries of the mind by studying how neural activity gives rise to cognitive functions such as perception, memory, language, and decision-making. By examining brain structure and function using advanced imaging techniques like functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and electroencephalography (EEG), researchers can map cognitive processes onto specific brain regions.

2. Neural Basis of Perception and Sensation

Perception and sensation are fundamental processes through which organisms interpret and make sense of the world around them. Cognitive neuroscience investigates how sensory information is processed in the brain, from the initial encoding of sensory stimuli to higher-order perceptual processes that shape our conscious experience of the world.

3. Memory Encoding, Storage, and Retrieval

Memory is a cornerstone of cognition, allowing us to retain and retrieve information from past experiences. Cognitive neuroscience examines the neural mechanisms underlying memory encoding, storage, and retrieval, shedding light on how memories are formed, consolidated, and recalled. This research has implications for understanding memory disorders and developing strategies to enhance memory function.

4. Language Processing and Communication

Language is a uniquely human ability that plays a central role in communication and social interaction. Cognitive neuroscience investigates how language is processed in the brain, from the comprehension of spoken and written words to the production of speech and the interpretation of linguistic meaning. By studying language disorders like aphasia, researchers gain insights into the neural basis of language processing.

For You, Grandma.

Unfortunately, the epidemic of detrimental neurological disorders, more specifically Alzheimer's disease, affects millions of individuals globally. I am one of many who have had to endure the experience of watching a loved one deteriorate due to this detrimental disease. My grandmother has gone from knowing me all the way down to my phone number, to not even knowing my name. It has been heartbreaking to see her slowly deteriorate, and has given me the motivation to want to research any therapies that would lessen her fade. Alzheimer's affects not just the person with the disease but also their family and caregivers, taking away their memories and cognitive functioning. The minimal, and low budgeted clinical alleviations offered by the current Alzheimer's treatments do not address the disease's underlying disease pathophysiology. Consequently, there is a pressing need for innovative and effective treatments that can halt or significantly decrease the progression of Alzheimer's.

I took a very long time attempting to figure out ways to benefit my grandmother's brain health holistically, without using medication. A conflicting notion then crossed my head; I recalled what had transpired the day I had taken mushrooms and how my mind had been manipulated. Yes, I have consumed mushrooms, and I can state with confidence that doing so has permanently improved my perspective on my day to day life. Using this information, I evaluated the medicinal potential of psilocybin, the hallucinogenic ingredient present in these "magic" mushrooms. Although psilocybin has historically been linked to recreational usage, it has gained interest recently for its potential therapeutic benefits in treating a number of mental health issues, such as anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). With some more in depth research, I was able to conclude that Psilocybin may also be promising for treating Alzheimer's disease, according to preliminary experimentation, since it modulates brain circuits related to memory and cognition, lowers neuroinflammation, and increases neuroadaptability.
