Did you know that there are aspects of cognition, such as finding the right word, trouble understanding visual images and spatial relationships, and impaired reasoning or judgment, that may be signals of the early stages of Alzheimer’s? Want to learn more about specific signs that could lead to Alzheimer’s Disease, go to What Are the Signs of Alzheimer's Disease? | National Institute on Aging (nih.gov) #SignsofAlzheimer’s #Alzheimer’s#NIH#NIA

June is Migraine and Headache Awareness Month. According to a 2022 study published in The Journal of Headache and Pain, 52 percent of people worldwide experience a headache disorder in a given year. This includes 26 percent with tension headaches, 14 percent with migraines, and 4.6 percent with headaches for at least 15 days per month. Watch ACN's exclusive interview with Dr. Olivia Kingsford from Barrow Neurological Institute to learn the differences between headaches and migraines, ways to treat both conditions at home, and more. 👇 🧠 #MHAM #MigraineAwareness #HeadacheAwareness

🔔 New paper out! 📑 Follow-up study (~15 months later) on #cognitive deficits in individuals with #LongCovid 🌐 https://t.co/V7CwPaXGWS (OA) in collaboration with Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau and Concordia University #UOCesalut Universitat Oberta de Catalunya #researchUOC. Kudos to Nicholas Grunden for leading this! #Highlights #1. Results at the test-score level indicate that #cognitive performance remains relatively stable across assessments at the group level #2. Cognitive domain analyses indicate significant reductions in #attention and #executive functioning impairment, while #memory impairment is slower to resolve. #3. #Hospitalized individuals during infection performed worse on timed cognitive measures across visits and accounted for a larger proportion of cases with short-term and working memory impairment at follow-up. #LongCovid #PostCOVID #COVIDPersistente #COVID19 #Cognition #Emotions #Mood

Time is RUNNING OUT to showcase your research at #ATMRD24! Submit an abstract highlighting ✨ new or ongoing research ✨ or present an encore poster. The topic must be related to movement disorders, but posters aren't limited to clinical trials and your research doesn't have to be finalized. If you act now, you can still get your work in the national spotlight! Get noticed here: https://loom.ly/PanUxSU #AdvancedTherapeutic #MovementDisorders

On day three of #BrainAwarenessWeek we share news from the @EU Science, Research and Innovation TENSIONstudy. #thrombectomy is safe to use in a larger number of stroke patients than current practice & reduces the long-term disability.

I am excited to share a summary from the American Thoracic Society regarding our recent publication in the New England Journal of Medicine. This study emphasizes the clinical, occupational, and economic pros and cons of ignoring race in lung health assessments. The results will significantly impact Black health and clinical trials while the FDA mandates racial and ethnic diversity in clinical and biomedical research. We must prioritize our patients first. We can only do this by thoroughly assessing the downstream consequences of including or excluding race in lung function assessments on an individual patient and community level. #MedicalResearch #HealthEquity #LungHealth #PulmonaryMedicine

"The doctoral thesis by Nicklas Ennab Vogel is about making stroke health care more efficient. The social costs of stroke diseases are large. Suffering a stroke often has far-reaching consequences for the individual patient as well as for the next of kin. The time from becoming ill to the correct treatment in the emergency phase can be life-changing."

🦷 It's Oral Health Awareness Month and did you know oral health is vital for overall well-being? For individuals with a spinal cord injury (SCI), maintaining oral health can be challenging. Jennifer Coker, PhD, MPH, FASIA at Craig is studying the impact of oral health post-SCI to improve quality of life. Join Phase Two of our study by completing a 15-30 minute survey online or via phone. Participants will be compensated for their time. Eligible if you've had an SCI for at least a year, are 18+, and speak English fluently. Learn more and take the survey: https://lnkd.in/gjnQ6Ngy #SCIResearch #OralHealthAwarenessMonth
