A mental health patient at Bartlett Regional Hospital was found dead Wednesday morning outside the hospital.
She apparently jumped or accidentally fell from the hospital's roof, said Bartlett Chief Executive Bob Valliant.
The hospital wouldn't give her age, hometown or medical condition, citing privacy laws.
But Valliant said she was in the mental health unit, in an unlocked room designed to be suicide-proof on the hospital's third floor, Tuesday night. The woman jimmied open her room's window, which has a brace to keep it from opening more than a few inches, and which overlooks part of the roof, he said.
Hospital staff check patients in the unit every 30 minutes, and logs show she was checked on regularly. The log said she was resting well. But the woman had lumped pillows and blankets so that it looked like a sleeping person, Valliant said.
Hospital staff discovered she was missing at 8:15 Wednesday morning, and her body was found about 11:30 a.m. between the hospital building and trailers housing a temporary kitchen, Valliant said.
Bartlett is investigating the incident.
"We're looking at all the issues surrounding it, like changing our policy to include a bed check that actually, physically checks the patient in the bed," he said.

Cedars-Sinai researchers found that healthcare workers who were vaccinated against COVID-19 didn’t respond as well as they should have. The results of the new study were written up in the Cell Press journal iScience.
In a matched control study, researchers looked at how healthy healthcare workers at Cedars-Sinai responded to vaccinations. The average age of the people who took part in the trial was 48, and they all got the Pfizer Inc. BNT162b2 shot.
“We found that a small number of the healthcare workers we tested did not have a strong immune response to the BNT162b2 vaccine. They made fewer antibodies to the spike protein on the surface of the COVID-19-causing SARS-CoV-2 virus.
Even after the second and third doses of a booster, the response was still low.” Peter Chen, MD, who is the Medallion Chair in Molecular Medicine at Cedars-Sinai and one of the study’s main authors, is also a co-author.
Researchers say that the “low responders” in the study were not very old, but their immune systems responded to the vaccine as if they were much older.
This study is part of the Coronavirus Risk Associations and Longitudinal Evaluation (CORAL) project at Cedars and Sinai. Researchers say that this study’s finding of low vaccine response in people who are otherwise healthy calls for more research.
“We’d like to look into the pathways that led to the premature aging phenotype to see if it’s specifically responsible for lower antibody levels after vaccination,” said Susan Cheng, MD, MPH, the Erika J. Glazer Chair in Women’s Cardiovascular Health and Population Science and a corresponding author of the study.
“Our study also didn’t look at the lymphocytes that kill cells that are already infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus. This is an important part of immunity against COVID-19,” said Cheng, who is also the director of the Institute for Research on Healthy Aging in the Department of Cardiology at the Smidt Heart Institute.

Researchers say that even though some people’s immune systems don’t respond well to the vaccine, there is still strong evidence that vaccination is a very effective way to prevent major illness and death from COVID-19.
“We should all get vaccinated because the BNT162b2 vaccine helped most of the low responders get some immunity. This group still had memory cells, which can make more antibodies when the virus attacks, but at a lower level “said Chen, who is in charge of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine at Cedars-Sinai.

Digital hearing systems specialist Starkey Hearing Technologies has brought artificial intelligence to a hearing aid called Livio AI, which uses integrated sensors to record cognitive health and physical activity, including alters triggered by a fall.
The hearing aid, which features a multi-core twin compressor and dual radio system, became available in Australia this week along with the Thrive Hearing Control mobile application.
The company claims the AI platform enables it to optimise the hearing experience by taming noisy environments and reducing listening effort on the hard of hearing.
The Livio AI also enables wireless streaming of phone calls and music, as well as enhanced clarity of speech, while the app measures the brain benefits of wearing hearing aids by tracking the user's hours of daily use, social engagement and active listening.
Activity, steps and overall movement is also tracked daily and accessed via the app, and thanks to a sensor integrated into the hearing aid receiver, Livio AI hearing aid wearers will soon be able to view heart rate information on Thrive.
The wearer can also create what Starkey multiple custom reminders in the app with geotagging capabilities, which use GPS and cell towers to recognize where they are and automatically adjust the hearing aids when they enter a favorite coffee shop or museum.
“First and foremost, Livio AI is the best performing and best sounding hearing aid we have ever made," Dawn Rollings, managing director of Starkey Australia, said in a statement. “What makes today a pivotal moment is that with Livio AI, we have transformed a single-use device into the world’s first multi-purpose hearing aid, with integrated sensors and artificial intelligence.”
She called Livio AI, which also comes with optional wireless accessories like a remote microphone that features connectivity to Amazon’s Alexa digital assistant, as a “gateway to better health, wellness and ultimately, a better quality of life.”
While hearing loss is one of the most common conditions affecting older and elderly adults, an April survey conducted across ten countries--specifically designed to study the habits of people with hearing loss—found three quarters of respondents were embarrassed about their affliction.
One of the more alarming statistics from the survey, commissioned by the International Campaign for Better Hearing, was the revelation that nearly a fifth of Australian and New Zealand respondents took more than five years to seek help.

Applications and Recommended Usage?
Quality Tested by Leinco
Flow Cytometry: It is recommended to use the indirect method for signal enhancement when enumerating cells expressing B7-H2. A suggested method would be to stain cells expressing B7-H2 with 0.25 µg/106 cells in a total staining volume of 200 µl followed by PN:G641.
Western Blotting: To detect Human B7-H2 this polyclonal antibody can be used at a concentration of 2 µg/ml. This polyclonal antibody should be used in conjunction with compatible second-step reagents such as PN:G505 and a chromogenic substrate such as PN:T343. The detection limit for Human B7-H2 is 0.5 ng/lane under either reducing or non-reducing conditions. The sensitivity of detection may increase up to 50 fold when a chemiluminescent substrate is used. A suitable Western blotting control is PN:B537.
Other Applications Reported In Literature ?
CyTOF-ready: Ready to be labeled using established conjugation methods. No BSA or other carrier proteins that could interfere with conjugation.
Each investigator should determine their own optimal working dilution for specific applications. See directions on lot specific datasheets, as information may periodically change.
Goat Anti-Human B7 Homolog 2 (B7-H2) recognizes Human B7-H2. This antigen affinity purified polyclonal antibody was purified using a proprietary chromatographic technique that includes covalently immobilizing the antigen proteins or peptides to agarose based beads. This purification method enhances specificity, reduces nonspecific binding of extraneous IgG and provides you with the most reliable reagent available for your early discovery research.
Human B7-H2, also called B7RP-1, B7h, LICOS, and GL50, is a member of the growing B7 family of immune costimulatory proteins. Other family members include B7-1, B7-2, B7-H1 (PD-L1), PD-L2, and B7-H3. B7 proteins are members of the immunoglobulin (Ig) superfamily, the extracellular domains contain 2 Ig-like domains and all members have short cytoplasmic domains. Among the family members, they share about 20 - 25% amino acid identity. Human and mouse B7-H2 share approximately 49% amino acid identity. B7-H2 has been identified as the ligand for ICOS, a member of the CD28 family of costimulatory receptors. The B7-H2/ICOS interaction appears to play roles in T cell dependent B cell activation and Th differentiation.

Advances in Alopecia Areata
Alopecia areata has an unpredictable course. Some patients experience spontaneous regrowth, as well as relapse, which can complicate the assessment of hair loss.1
Additional confounding factors of other hair loss disorders can present in a patient, along with variation in hair density and thickness between individuals.1
Severity of Alopecia Tool (SALT) can be helpful in assessing scalp hair loss.2
There are two different ways the SALT score can be used and presented3:
Reprinted with permission from the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology.4
The scalp is divided into 4 regions with a pre-assigned percentage of surface area. The percentage of hair loss within one area is multiplied by the percentage of surface area that region represents to give an adjusted percentage (e.g., 20% hair loss on the right scalp: 20% x 0.18 = 3.6%). Then, the adjusted percentages for each region are added together to get the total percentage of hair loss, expressed as a SALT score.2
Assessment of Severity
Alopecia Areata—Investigator’s Global Assessment (AA-IGA)
While the SALT score can be used to assess the extent of scalp hair loss, the AA-IGA is an ordinal outcome measure that categorizes the severity of scalp hair loss based on SALT score2,5:0 = None (SALT 0%)
1 = Limited (SALT 1% to 20%)
2 = Moderate (SALT 21% to 49%)
3 = Severe (SALT 50% to 94%)
4 = Very Severe (SALT 95% to 100%)
See Related Resources below for an overview of the Alopecia Areata Scale (AASc), a multidimensional assessment tool for evaluating the severity of AA.
Nail changes may also be present with alopecia areata. Nail abnormalities like pitting, crumbling, trachyonychia, and red spots on the lunula are more common among patients with severe alopecia areata (50.5% in severe disease vs. 13% with milder disease).3,6
There are different ways to categorize hair loss. Other physician-assessed alopecia areata measurements take into account density (Alopecia Density and Extent—ALODEX)1 and progression (Alopecia Areata Progression Index—AAPI).8

When it comes to filing a claim, in order to gain brain injury compensation, there are a number of things about the legal system that you will need to understand in order to achieve a positive outcome. If you are a friend or relative of someone who has recently been injured in an accident, which resulted in them sustaining a brain injury, you may decide to act on their behalf to make a claim. In the majority of cases those that have suffered a brain injury will require compensation simply to fund their medical care. Those who have suffered from brain injuries are often left unable to work and require round the clock care. This means that they have no way to support themselves or pay for this specialist care.
Therefore a successful brain injury compensation claim could be absolutely vital to them.
It is not wise to go about filing an injury compensation claim on a victim's behalf without doing some prior research. Even if you find that you aren't familiar with all aspects of brain injury compensation claims after you've carried out the research, chances are you'll probably know more than you did before. A brain injury solicitor can provide advice on the areas you're unaware of - so you certainly shouldn't panic. When you're carrying out this research you'll likely encounter a wealth of legal jargon. This legal jargon may be general, but it also might be specifically related to a brain injury compensation claim - therefore it is worth gaining an understanding of what thee terms actually mean. Furthering you understanding of this vocabulary will make discussions with a brain injury solicitor much easier to take in and understand. Learning as much as you can about all the legal jargon, associated with an injury compensation claim, will enable you to gain a greater understanding of how the case is progressing and ask a personal injury solicitor more questions.
Becoming well educated on legal jargon as a whole is a great way to prepare you for any future court dates, as well as those meetings with the brain injury solicitor representing the victim's brain injury compensation claim. Even those of us who have not been injured in an accident should take the time to find out more about these legal terms and what they mean. By doing this they can effectively ensure that they are prepared for any future legal situation that might arise. If you've done your research, you'll have a good idea of what terms, such as "locked in syndrome," - a condition in which an individual appears to be asleep or in a state of comatose - actually mean. Just one of the many legal and medical terms that are used so often during brain injury compensation claims, with good prior research you can ensure you know exactly what they mean. Although this may take some time, you could ensure that the victim you're acting on the behalf of get the brain injury compensation that they deserve by doing so.
Brain injuries are incredibly complex. This article details the benefits of having an understanding of the jargon associated with brain injury compensation claims.

Are There Symptoms From Brain Injuries?
Posted in Personal Injury on March 28, 2023
Brain injuries can have a profound impact on a person’s life, affecting their ability to perform daily activities, work, and engage in hobbies or other activities they once enjoyed. Additionally, brain injuries can affect a person’s personality, behavior, and cognitive function. This impact can be felt not only by the person who has suffered the injury but also by his or her loved ones and caregivers.
Depending on the nature of the accident, brain injuries can range from mild to severe. As a result, different types of brain injuries result in different symptoms. If you or a loved one has suffered a head injury, understanding the causes and symptoms of brain injuries is crucial in ensuring that you receive the proper medical treatment and support.
Common Causes of Brain Injuries
Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) occur when you suffer a jolt or blow to the head or when an object penetrates the skull. A TBI can happen in many different situations, including the following:
- Car accidents
- Sports injuries
- Falls, particularly among older adults
- Acts of violence, such as assaults and gunshot wounds
Symptoms of Mild Brain Injuries
Mild brain injuries are common but can be challenging to identify and diagnose. This type of damage causes temporary dysfunction of the brain’s nerves. It can also result in structural damage to the brain’s neurons and axons, which can disrupt communication between different parts of the brain.
If you have a mild TBI, you may experience any of the following symptoms:
- Blurred vision
- Ringing in the ears
- Nausea or vomiting
- Sensitivity to light and sound
- Tiredness or sleepiness
- A bad taste in the mouth
- Changes in sleep habits
- Behavior or mood changes
- Difficulty with memory, concentration, attention, or thinking
- Loss of consciousness that lasts from a few seconds to minutes
Symptoms of Moderate to Severe Brain Injuries
Moderate to severe brain injuries can significantly disrupt brain function and communication, resulting in a range of symptoms that may overlap with those of mild TBI. In addition to the symptoms mentioned earlier, individuals with moderate or severe TBI may experience any of the following:
- A persistent, worsening headache
- Loss of consciousness from several minutes to hours
- Inability to wake up from sleep
- Enlarged pupils in one or both eyes
- Vision loss in one or both eyes
- Repeated, ongoing vomiting and nausea
- Numbness and tingling in the arms or legs
- Significant confusion, agitation, or restlessness
- Loss of coordination and clumsiness
- Convulsions and seizures
- Slurred speech
Legal Options for Brain Injury Victims in Texas
If you suffer any type of head injury, it is essential to seek emergency medical care, even if you do not think the injury is severe. Brain injuries can cause long-term damage and even death, and prompt medical attention can help prevent further complications. Always go to the doctor as soon as possible and save all of your medical records.
In many cases, brain injuries are caused by the negligent actions of another person. In these situations, you may be eligible to file an insurance claim or lawsuit against the at-fault party and recover financial compensation for your medical care, lost wages, and other damages.

His wife Nutan Goel first took the jab of Covaxin after which Vardhan also took the vaccine shot. They had taken the 1st dose of indigenously developed Covaxin by Bharat Biotech on March 2.
After taking the vaccine shot, Harsh Vardhan said that neither he nor his wife felt any side effects. He also asked people not to keep any doubts about the vaccine underlining both Covaxin and Covishield are safe and immunogenic.
"After taking first dose of vaccine, neither of us felt any side effects. Both Indian vaccines are safe and effective. A lot of people still have doubts regarding vaccines. I urge them not to believe what is being circulated in WhatsApp university," the Union Health Minister said.
"There are only a few rare cases wherein people contracted COVID-19 after taking vaccines. Even if someone tests positive after taking vaccines, it minimalizes the chances of their hospitalization or admission to ICU wards," Harsh Vardhan added.
Vardhan has been appealing to all those aged 60 and above and aged 45 and above having specified comorbidities to immediately take the vaccine. India opened up vaccination for those over 60 years and within the age bracket of 45 to 59 years with specified comorbidities from March 1.

World Diabetes Day To Be Celebrated At Aligarh Muslim University
Prof Jamal Ahmad, Director, Rajiv Gandhi Centre for Diabetes and Endocrinology, J.N. Medical College, Aligarh Muslim University said that diabetes in India has reached epidemic proportions and is increasing with Tsunamic speed. He was speaking on the World Diabetes Day that is celebrated on November 14 every year which is also an official United Nations Worlds Diabetes Day. Named to celebrate the birthday of Frederick Banting, who along with Charles Best, is credited with the discovery of Insulin. This day is marked with the global awareness campaign against Diabetes led by the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) that engages millions of people worldwide in diabetes advocacy and awareness.
Prof. Ahmad said that India at present has more than 62.2 million people with diabetes and 95% of this population is suffering from Type 2 diabetes. The increase in its prevalence is due to genetic predisposition, sedentary life style, increase in obesity, urbanization and change in lifestyle pattern. We must work hard to prevent the occurrence of metabolic syndrome/type 2 diabetes by preventing obesity (waist circumference 80 cm in females and 90 cm in males) accounting for its association with more than 60% of type 2 diabetes population. We must make all possible effort to reduce atleast 5-10% of weight. This is possible by walking 4-5 kms per day on all days and by eating carefully. The emphasis should be to consume food of low glycemic index values like mixed chapaties (wheat, barley and grams), beans, green leafy vegetables, curd, oats, salads and fruits with limited amount of apple, guava, orange etc. and to avoid food of high glycemic index values like potatoes, rice, bread, french fries, fast food etc. By brisk walking for half an hour per day and by careful eating and healthy habits (no smoking, no alcohol) and cutting down the intake of saturated fat, trans-fat (butter, dalda, animal fat etc) and salt intake, it is possible to reduce the prevalence of diabetes by 50 percent.
Prof. Ahmad said that it might also be noted that the incidence of Type 1 diabetes (5% of diabetes population) is also increasing. If a child complains of weakness, tiredness, weight loss otherwise eating well and having night bed-wetting or being hospitalized as a case of gastroenteritis, his blood sugar needs to be done. It is likely that he/she is suffering from Type 1 diabetes. To save the life of such children, the above Centre with the help of Diabetes India Initiative/ pharmaceutical companies is providing free Insulin to all children especially the girl child up to the age of 21 years if they are reporting endocrine clinic of the hospital regularly. Attempts are also being made with the support of Diabetes India to provide free Insulin to everybody reporting for diabetes management to the Centre.
Prof. Ahmad further said that there is a tremendous increase in the complications associated with diabetes, especially in those who are not under optimal control. In India, diabetes is the single largest cause of legal blindness which can be prevented by taking care of A,B,C, of its management. A vast majority of patients undergoing renal dialysis and transplant have diabetes as the underline cause. Presently around 1% of the population has got diabetes renal disease per year besides more than 20 million populations already having diabetes renal disease. Most of these patients having diabetes renal disease do not enter End-Stage Renal Disease and die off cardiovascular complications. It is also being observed that 75% hospitalized patients of acute myocardial infarction either are known diabetic or undiagnosed. Further, associated with this disease there is a substantial increase in morbidity and mortality.
Diabetes is the single largest cause of Atraumatic amputation. A person with diabetes does not have to lose the lower limbs every 30 seconds if one takes simple steps like daily inspecting the feet, avoiding bare foot walking, looking for any cuts, cracks, dust accumulation and by use of proper foot-ware (neither loose nor tight). He should also report to his doctor in case he develops neuropathic symptoms (tingling, numbness, hypoesthesia’s, hyperesthesia’s, and decreased sensations in globe- and-stocking distributions) and peripheral vascular disease (cramping pain in the calf and thigh muscle especially at night and walking).
Prof. Ahmad appealed to all to join the campaign to prevent all diabetic complications and be careful to have optimal glycemic control, blood pressure & lipid control, to avoid smoking and alcohol and insisted careful eating and changing the lifestyle pattern. He requested all diabetic persons to simply remember A,B,C of diabetes management. “A” stands for A1c test that should be less than <6.5% (to be done every 3 months); “B” for Blood Pressure (should be <140/90 mmHg, <130/80 mmHg if urine is positive for albumin); “C” to keep LDL cholesterol < 100mg/dl, Triglycerides < 150 mg/dl and HDL-cholesterol >45mg/dl. In elderly and those associated with co-morbid conditions like heart disease, stroke, advanced retinopathy, the A1c should be <7%, besides cessation of smoking and alcohol and to continue lifestyle modification.

Reiter's Disease- Clinical Profile of Six Cases
|How to cite this article:
Singh M, Kaur S, Kumar B, Sharma V K, Kaur I. Reiter's Disease- Clinical Profile of Six Cases. Indian J Dermatol Venereol Leprol 1987;53:108-111
AbstractCommon clinical features of 6 cases of Reiter's disease were chronic asymmetrical peripheral arthritis, keratoderma blenorrhagica, stomatitis, circinate balanitis, urethritis and back pain. HLA B 27 was found positive in three cases investigated. Two corticosteroid, unresponesie patients were managed with weekly methotrexate.


Cancer stem cells have long been the subject of intensive research. Since they were first identified, the scientific community has debated their role in the formation of tumours and their wider implications. If the stem cell theory proves correct, it could dramatically shake up the template for cancer treatment.
According to this theory, the disease is primarily spurred by a small population of stem cells, also known as tumorigenic or tumour initiating cells, which have the potential to drive recurrence and metastasis. While ordinary cancer cells may cause issues, these are not capable of propagating the cancer. It is the stem cells, lying dormant in the body after treatment, that may lead to the patient’s eventual relapse.
While this theory does seem to hold true, at least for certain types of tumours, isolating the stem cells can prove difficult and understanding them is harder still. In order to wipe them out, it will be essential to determine their precise molecular properties. How do these cells proliferate and how might a treatment go about targeting that mechanism?
Targeting cancer stem cells
"If you take stem cells from the tumour and inject those into a xenograft, then they’ll make a tumour, whereas if you inject the bulk cancer cells they won’t," explains Professor Michael Lisanti, director of the Breakthrough Breast Cancer Unit at the University of Manchester. "The problem is that most conventional chemotherapeutics actually target the bulk cancer cells and not the cancer stem cells. So what we want to do is understand the difference between the two."
Along with his colleagues at the Manchester Centre for Cellular Metabolism and the Cancer Research UK Manchester Institute, Lisanti recently discovered a new way of targeting these cancer stem cells. A recent paper, published in the journal Oncotarget in November 2014, revealed the role of mitochondria in promoting their growth and survival.
Children’s cancer death rates in the UK have dropped by 22% over the last decade.
"We think that having more mitochondria is something that’s a characteristic of cancer stem cells, and it may give them a growth advantage because with more mitochondria they should be able to produce more energy," says Lisanti. "Our major idea was that these mitochondria can be targeted with specific inhibitors that interfere with mitochondrial metabolism."
In essence, the mitochondria were shown to be the ‘engines’ of the cancer stem cell, with certain mitochondrial proteins enhancing their capacity to burn key nutrients. Through blocking the cellular uptake of these fuels, it may be possible to stop the engine and bring cancer growth to a grinding halt.
A breakthrough for breast cancer?
The researchers began by taking cancer cells from the breast, and enriching the sample for cancer stem cells. While less than 1% of the total cells were tumorigenic, when placed on a dish coated with non-stick material, most of the bulk cancer cells will die and only the stem cells will propagate. They form globules known as mammospheres, which can be examined for a better insight into stem cell behaviour.
The researchers compared these mammospheres to a separate culture of monolayer cells. They found that the mammospheres showed significantly increased levels of 62 mitochondrial-related proteins. In fact, nine of these proteins were ‘infinitely upregulated’, meaning they were virtually undetectable in the monolayer cells but showed a dramatic increase in the mammospheres. Two nutrients in particular – ketone and L-lactate – were identified as critical for this type of mitochondrial metabolism.
The upshot here is clear – if you know what fuels the mitochondria you are halfway towards depleting the fuel tank. Cancer Research UK currently has trials ongoing into whether MCT inhibitors might block the actions of these proteins and ultimately eradicate the cancer stem cells.
"Generally speaking the entire industry has shied away from inhibiting mitochondria, and I think that’s a big mistake because in the future some of the best cancer drugs will be in this class," says Lisanti. "You really need to figure out what you want to target in the mitochondria, and there are side effects you should be aware of, but that shouldn’t stop you from trying."
He cites metformin, the diabetes drug, which appears to have the secondary effect of inhibiting cancer stem cell mitochondria.
"What has been shown across many different cancer types is that diabetics who take metformin are protected to varying degrees from almost every cancer type," he explains. "I think the idea that metformin is a mitochondrial inhibitor is very under-recognised, but if you put that existing data together with what we’ve shown, people may think about that as a new avenue of investigation."
Moving towards viable drugs
In fact, this study has thrown up many possible lines of enquiry. The next step is to further test the validity of these findings, as well as checking whether MCT inhibitors may translate into viable drugs. It will also be important to determine whether these results apply only to breast cancer, or across other cancer types.
"We’re very interested in seeing how broadly applicable our findings are," says Lisanti. "I think we should also consider what other classes of compound may be used as safe effective mitochondrial inhibitors. There’s no reason why mitochondria in cancer stem cells couldn’t be selectively targeted without harming the normal cells. And we shouldn’t be afraid to target the cancer stem cell-specific differences, because we may be missing a very important therapeutic opportunity."
A pioneering study looking into the possibility of combining existing therapies to slow down cancer growth is showing encouraging early results.
His latest paper, published in Oncotarget in January, highlights a particularly exciting set of results. He found that metformin was not the only drug that inhibits cancer stem cell mitochondria. In fact, five different classes of FDA-approved antibiotics produce a similar ‘side effect’, and are capable of eradicating cancer stem cells across eight tumour types. Lisanti suggests that these antibiotics may be repurposed for cancer treatment, effectively treating cancer like an infectious disease.
This study was inspired by a chance remark by his eight-year-old daughter Camilla (listed as a co-author on the paper) who suggested the cure for cancer might be "an antibiotic, like when I have a sore throat".
"You should always listen to your children," remarks Lisanti, "as they are usually right."
A cancer treatment that attacks the tumorigenic cells only, leaving other cells unscathed and preventing recurrence – this may sound like a pipe dream for cancer research. But for scientists exploring the role of stem cell mitochondria, it’s a real possibility. Through tackling the proteins that fuel cancer, we may one day be able to deplete that fuel tank altogether.

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition which can cause mild to severe emotional dysregulation among children and adults without proper treatment. Common symptoms of ADHD include: impulsivity, inattention, hyperactivity, and issues regarding mental focus and self-control regulation. Over time, these symptoms can lead to stress–which can ultimately result in depression if left untreated.
The symptoms associated with ADHD often lead to a snowball effect that can quickly wreak havoc on a person’s work life or personal relationships. ADHD makes it tough to start and complete tasks, focus on important details, and control impulsive tendencies. With time, this can lead to low-self esteem, because it’s difficult to feel happy and accomplished when you keep falling into a cycle of ineffective behaviors.
Can ADHD cause depression?
Some symptoms of depression tend to coincide with the symptoms of ADHD making it challenging at times to assess which diagnosis fits your circumstances best. For example, both ADHD and depression can involve trouble concentrating, making decisions, and remembering details. Both can also lead to a decrease in motivation in certain circumstances.
Additionally, sometimes medications prescribed to treat ADHD can produce adverse side effects common for depression such as:
- Frequent changes in mood
A person with ADHD may have trouble focusing, listening, or getting organized, which might make it difficult for them to live efficiently or effectively when it comes to school and work environments. If there is enough disruption in their school or work life, they may struggle with feeling inadequate or at a loss for purpose, which can be a key factor in people experiencing or intensifying depression.
Another risk is procrastination, where a person with ADHD may have trouble starting or finishing projects, again, leading to criticism from peers, a drop in performance, and the same struggle against any undiagnosed depressive tendencies that may be present.
The fact of the matter is that depression and ADHD may exist separately in a person, or ADHD may inflame or cause certain kinds of depression. The risk for comorbidity (meaning multiple conditions coexisting, manifesting as one primary condition and any subsequent conditions), is incredibly high for people whose mental health concerns have a particularly disruptive effect on their ability to function at what people may consider a “normal” level. While mental health issues are common, the stigma and urge to fit the social mold can complicate things. Either the pressures faced because of something like ADHD, such as poor performance at work or school, can lead to difficulties in social experience, or it can lead people to avoid seeking help. The latter is of course particularly dangerous and concerning, as it prevents and prohibits any potential growth or mental wellness management, both of which are key for helping people with ADHD, depression, or any other concern function at their best.
ADHD and depression in children
If you are unsure as to whether or not your child has either ADHD, depression, or both, you’re not alone. Since ADHD can pose many challenges for children in school, many develop depression consequently, often as a result of their inability to voice or manage their own mental wellness and the same issues that we discussed earlier. Children in particular are incredibly sensitive to their social environment, so their mental health issues may have a long reaching impact if they go unaddressed. Research shows that children with ADHD are roughly four times more likely than their peers to become depressed.
It is important to note that because symptoms of ADHD and depression overlap significantly, misdiagnosis is common. If you notice an increase of these behaviors associated with both ADHD and depression, be sure to contact a family doctor or a specialist that can help you identify the risks and potential mental health risks. At the ADHD Wellness Center, we work with all types of patients doing exactly this, so we understand how critical early identification and management can be.
ADHD and depression in adults
Recent studies show that about one-third to one-half of patients with ADHD will have persistent symptoms into adulthood. With this in mind, it is important to recognize signs of depression, and seek treatment to help manage the adverse effects so you can live your life to the fullest potential. Signs of depression in adults with ADHD include:
- Hyperactivity and restlessness
- Impulsive behaviors such as excessive spending or other reckless behavior
- A major change in appetite or sleeping patterns
- A loss of interest in favored activities
- Physical symptoms such as stomach aches or headaches
- Racing thoughts or persistent rumination
- Thoughts of death or suicide
How you can help
Knowing whether you have ADHD, depression, or both can be difficult to say the least. If you think you or a loved one might be suffering from ADHD or depression, be sure to reach out and speak to a mental health professional. You can also feel free to schedule an initial 45 minute appointment with our ADHD medical professional here at the ADHD Wellness Center. During the initial appointment, your specialist will answer any of your questions or concerns to help you receive the best proper treatment possible.

Acute myocardial infarction is a cause of neonatal collapse. The diagnosis is suggested by ischaemic electrocardiography, raised cardiac enzymes and deteriorating cardiac function and should be considered in severe neonatal cardiac dysfunction without other identifiable causes. This paper presents four cases of neonatal myocardial infarction treated with veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA ECMO) for cardiorespiratory support. The paper illustrates that left ventricular function may recover after neonatal myocardial infarction if it can be supported for long enough, and that early ECMO referral may be of benefit.

Our Board-Certified Facial Plastic Surgeon
Named one of the best doctors in America, facial plastic surgeon Dr. Matthew Kienstra has specialized in helping patients of all ages achieve a more refined and youthful appearance. His extensive training in all aspects of facial enhancement combined with his guiding philosophy—if it doesn’t look natural, it doesn’t look good—has provided results uniquely tailored to each patient for over 15 years.
Dr. Kienstra provides everything from facelifts, SmartLaser Lift, rhinoplasty, eyelid procedures, and forehead lifts, to non-surgical facial rejuvenation, such as laser procedures, Botox, fillers, and injectables. “By balancing minimally invasive techniques with more traditional ones,” he says, “we’re able to achieve natural-looking, personalized results for our patients throughout Southwest Missouri and Northwest Arkansas.”
Dr. Kienstra’s high level of training exclusively in the face and his many years in practice with Dr. Keith LaFerriere allowed a very comfortable transition for Dr. LaFerriere’s patients and put them in very capable hands.


Over 2 decades ago, ICSI (intracytoplasmic sperm injection) revolutionized the treatment of male infertility. The ICSI procedure involves injection of a single sperm into each egg at the time of IVF (in vitro fertlization). Before the development of ICSI, couples with sperm issues, what we call “male factor,” had very low fertilization and pregnancy rates, even when undergoing IVF. Now a days, because of the use of ICSI, poor sperm quality is a very unusual reason for an IVF cycle to be unsuccessful or to blame for poor fertilization. Over concerns about potentially poor fertilization, many fertility centers have chosen to use ICSI routinely to ensure optimal fertilization even when the male partner’s sperm is perfectly normal. At Princeton IVF, our philosophy has always been to allow fertilization to happen “naturally” in the dish when there is no history of sperm issues or poor fertilization. While ICSI had been shown to be quite safe, we feel that a more natural selection process makes more sense and research in the past has suggested that ICSI is only beneficial in male factor patients. A recent large-scale study recently published in the Journal of the American Medical Association has borne this out. ICSI when used in IVF cycles used in couples without sperm issues had lower fertilization and lower implantation rates than non ICSI cycles.
Researchers in Germany used very tiny tubes called nanotubes to control the motion of sperm. They used sperm mainly because the sperm are able to propel themselves. Today there is no real application for this even though this is fascinating. In the future, however this could represent a way to help fertilize eggs or even deliver drugs such as chemotherapy to their target. Here’s the video:
Since its start on the fringes of medicine, In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) has resulted in an estimated 5 million births worldwide as announced at the American Society for Reproductive Medicine and International Federation of Fertility Societies this week. The biggest reason for the sudden explosion in IVF babies increased demand in developing countries such as China who now have access to modern medical care including fertility treatment. There are now more children born through IVF than the population of some countries. That’s pretty remarkable for something that 35 years ago was not readily accepted by society.

Drug use practices that can lead to transmission of HIV, HCV, and other infections are pressing issues affecting communities throughout Canada. To stay current with emerging evidence and ensure that people have access to high-quality services that help prevent HIV and HCV transmission, best practice recommendations must undergo review and update. A Canada-wide team of researchers, service providers, policy makers and people with lived experience have developed, through extensive literature review and synthesis, an updated and comprehensive set of best practice recommendations.
This document has new and improved best practice recommendations about needle and syringe distribution, other injection equipment distribution, handling and disposal of used drug-use equipment, and safer drug-use education. In addition, lots of new material can be found on safer crack cocaine smoking equipment distribution and opioid overdose prevention (education and naloxone distribution)
