Over half of parents report at least one factor that makes it difficult for their child to make new friends, with about one in five saying that shyness or being socially awkward got in the way of their child’s efforts to make new friends.
The discovery of a new blood group, MAL, has solved a 50- year-old mystery. The findings allow identification and treatment of rare patients lacking this blood group.
Contrary to common perceptions and years of research that autistic people can’t describe their emotions or often have muted emotional responses, a Rutgers study published in the American Journal of Occupational Therapy concludes that many autistic adults are in fact acutely aware of their feelings and can label them in vivid, often colorful detail.
During the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Congress, Saby George, MD, FACP, of Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center presented findings on a novel two-agent treatment that more than doubled progression-free survival compared with single-agent treatment.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is poised to revolutionize the care of neurological diseases, from detecting tumors the human eye can’t see and using implantable devices to manage various conditions to crunching data from thousands of people with the same condition to guide the development of new treatments, according to neurologists and biomedical researchers speaking at the Presidential Symposium – Present and Future Applications of AI in Neurological Care and Research at the 149th Annual Meeting of the American Neurological Association (ANA).
College students who vaped had lower cognitive function scores than those who didn’t, and the more they vaped, the bigger the disparity, according to first-of-its-kind research being presented at the 149th Annual Meeting of the American Neurological Association (ANA).
The study also found college students who vaped and smoked had the lowest scores. While using electronic cigarettes (vaping) has been shown to cause lung damage, the research presented at ANA is groundbreaking because there is little to no information on vaping’s relationship to cognitive function, such as learning, memory, problem-solving, critical thinking and decision-making. Cognitive testing is rarely performed in young people.
Treatment with a combination of haloperidol and lorazepam reduced symptoms of agitated delirium, a common end-of-life condition for patients with advanced cancers, compared with haloperidol alone, according to a new study led by researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center.
