Martha Johnson and Company Lift Spirits with “Slow Emotion” Anthem during Parkinson’s Awareness Month

Martha Johnson is a founding member and the lead singer of the Canadian art pop band Martha and the Muffins which formed in 1977. Her career, spanning more than four decades and eleven albums, has had many highlights. In 2000, Martha was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease and was eventually forced to stop performing live.

April is Parkinson’s Awareness Month. Martha Johnson and Company’s “Slow Emotion” began with the suggestion of her neurologist Dr. Fasano at Krembil Research Institute/University Health Network in Toronto. He encouraged Martha to collaborate on a song with another of his patients, songwriter/musician Fabio Dwyer, to show that life and creativity doesn't end with a diagnosis. Released on April 11th, World Parkinson’s Day, the uplifting anthem was largely performed by musicians and singers with PD.

“I came up with the title, Slow Emotion, years ago and it seemed like a good fit with the theme of accepting and adapting to the changes both physically and emotionally you go through when you are living with PD. I’m hoping that people are moved by the song to a place of better understanding. Parkinson’s is continuously a life changing event for me. Life is what you make of it and you’ll have a better time if you just slow down a little and really take it all in.” -Martha Johnson With the support of Krembil Research Institute/University Health Network and Parkinson Canada, there is an accompanying documentary by Toronto filmmaker Jason Cipparrone that looks at the creation of “Slow Emotion.”

The #Curse of #Mental #Health is #CAMH #Psychiatry. They raise hundreds of millions of dollars for bad drugs and worse hardware - and now for #supercomputers for #Artificialintelligence for Dr #Rat Brain Sean Hill to prevent #schizophrenics with over at #Krembil #Neuroinformatics. Their clinics like and including #Downtown #West (formerly Archway) are characterized by staff drinking (boozing) after hours, cheap and nasty signage, non-hygienic premises, faeces and urine at the entrances, loud and impertinent posters, theft of clients' funds (so-called "pin Monet"), impossible case loads, bureaucratic measures that are the very opposite of clientcentred, excessive drugging, excessive digital processing (for billing purposes), community treatment orders, medication errors, difficulty seeing a doctor, difficulty seeing the same doctor twice, lack of continuity, etc.etc.... Meanwhile CEO and Communicator of the Year Catherine Zahn babbles to billionaire Weiner King Michael McCain about Moon Shots and New Trajectories going Beyond the Moon. What about the Earth, Catherine? What about CAMH West or any other of your sublunary operations? You should straddle one of your own rockets like Dr Strangelove and FIRE yourself where your interests lie - obviously not with us! In the #fuckedup #streetsoftoronto with #streetphotography!

A small new study has demonstrated that stem cells collected from a patient’s own bone marrow can significantly reduce pain caused by osteoarthritis of the knee.

In the first clinical trial of its kind in Canada, researchers collected mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) from the spines of 12 middle-aged patients with moderate to severe knee osteoarthritis. These “autologous” cells – stems cells derived from a patient’s own fat or bone tissue – were then processed and injected back into the patients’ knees at three different doses.

Researchers then followed the patients for the next 12 months, using MRI imaging, biomarkers, molecular fingerprinting and the patient's own assessment of how they felt.

"Our goal was to test for safety as well as to gain a better understanding of MSC dosing, mechanisms of action and donor selection," said lead author Sowmya Viswanathan, PhD, Arthritis Program at the Krembil Research Institute, University Health Network in Toronto.

At the end of the study period, researchers said there were significant improvements in all 12 patients’ pain levels, stiffness and quality of life. The study also showed that the MSCs were safe at all the doses tested and that the higher the dose, the more effective the outcome. (Read more at link)

"So phenylindanes are a dual inhibitor. Very interesting, we were not expecting that," Dr. [Donald] Weaver [co-director of the Krembil Brain Institute] acknowledges.

It appears that a longer roasting time causes the coffee beans to produce more phenylindanes. This suggests that dark roasted coffee — whether regular or decaf — has the strongest protective effect on the brain.

"It's the first time anybody's investigated how phenylindanes interact with the proteins that are responsible for Alzheimer's and Parkinson's," says Dr. [Ross] Mancini.

Mind control: Toronto doctors regulate patients’ brains from afar using electrode stimulation

Imagine watching your brain activity on a computer screen in real time. For Gord Luke, a Wawa, Ont., resident with Parkinson’s disease, that’s now a reality. Sitting in a room at the Krembil Brain Institute in Toronto’s west end, the 66-year-old can see his brain signals being tracked digitally, thanks to surgically implanted electrodes in his brain and a newly approved device in his…

Meet the brains behind the push to get more women in neurosurgery

As the medical director of Toronto’s Krembil Brain Institute, Dr. Gelareh Zadeh is at the top of the neurology — more specifically, neurosurgery — industry. But throughout most of her journey to get there, she says she’s been the only woman in the room. 

“When I was younger and in residency I kept thinking one day it’ll change,” she said.

“And then I’d go to these skull base conferences and of…

Кофе может снизить вероятность развития болезни Альцгеймера, Паркинсона

По оценкам специалистов исследовательского института Krembil и Университета Торонто, в мире ежегодно выпивают около 500 миллиардов чашек кофе. В то же время ученые обнаружили, что употребление кофе защищает от развития болезней Альцгеймера и Паркинсона .

Это связано с содержанием в продукте антиоксидантов фенилинданов. Они предотвращают образование амилоидных бляшек. Самые путаницы, накопление которых провоцирует появление слабоумия.

Антиоксиданты появляются в кофе в результате расщепления лактонов. Последние появляются при обжаривании кофе. Исследователи проанализировали три вида кофе: светлый жареный и темный жареный с кофеином и без кофеина. Последние два образца были чемпионами по содержанию самого ценного антиоксиданта.

То есть положительный эффект ожидается не от кофеина, а от фенилинданов, которые частично ответственны за горечь напитка. Ученые объясняют, что в кофе есть компоненты, которые полезны для предотвращения снижения когнитивных функций. Но это, конечно, не значит, что кофе - это лекарство.
