Infantile epileptic spasms syndrome (IESS), often called infantile spasms, is the most common form of epilepsy seen during infancy. Prompt diagnosis and referral to a neurologist are essential. But research suggests infants are likely to experience delays in referral to a neurologist if their families are from historically marginalized racial/ethnic backgrounds. A new open-access training module for front-line providers from OPENPediatrics, an online learning community launched by Boston Children’s Hospital, aims to change that.
Interest in forest restoration has increased in recent years, both on the part of companies and financial markets and in academia and government.
New study shows effectiveness of first drug to focus on cancer-causing protein.
Many electric vehicles are powered by batteries that contain cobalt — a metal that carries high financial, environmental, and social costs.
