A small international team of nanotechnologists, engineers and physicists has developed a way to force laser light into becoming a supersolid. Their paper is published in the journal Nature. The editors at Nature have published a Research Briefing in the same issue summarizing the work.

A recently published paper discovered extension of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) beyond central nervous system all the way down as far as peripheral nerves.

This is also an important discovery for integration of osteopathic principles into mainstream healthcare, as we as osteopaths believe in rule of the artery (speaking figuratively in that instance, we are talking about fluids of the body in general, meaning not just blood, but also lymph and CSF)

"Ventricular infusion of gold nanoparticles as small as 1,9nm demonstrates CSF flow to peripheral nerves

Initial experiments used 1.9-nm gold, which has an overall particle size of 3.5 nm, and is similar in size to nutrients and proteins typically found in CSF such as glucose (1.5 nm), albumin (~3.2 to 3.8 nm), cystatin C (3 to 12 nm), and brain derived neurotrophic factor (~3.5 nm)

Our results support a contiguous and continuous CSF flow system from the CNS to the distal ends of peripheral nerves, a function likely integral in sustaining peripheral nerves through delivery of nutrients and removal of waste.
CNS structures were labeled within minutes, while delivery to distal sciatic nerves peaked between 4 and 6 hours postinfusion. "

Cerebrospinal fluid unites the nervous system by extending beyond the central nervous system into peripheral nerves.

Another article published on folic acid effects on general population that I believe is worth sharing from Dr.Lynch.

As some of you might know myself personally had a tremendous change in health since coming to Australia and unknowingly consuming regular foods including bread and consequently gaining 30kg in 2 years seemingly out of nowhere.

If you are preparing for conception or generally would like to know what is that big deal about folic acid fortified flour in our country please have a read

The direct link between brain health and the quality of personal relationships is emphasized, with improved brain function leading to enhanced ability to maintain healthy interpersonal connections. This insight underscores the importance of brain health in achieving personal growth, suggesting that better brain health can lead to more successful outcomes in various aspects of life. The narrative shared illustrates how addressing brain health can positively influence family dynamics, leading to more peaceful and loving households.

Do you ever wonder if doctors have difficult cases in their families?
Do you think we can always treat our family members successfully?

Well, let me tell you a little bit about our own family journey.

Here is Alexander - a very smart and active 5yo boy who has been having difficulties regulating his emotions and open mouth posture during waking hours for as long as his mom 🙋 (who surprisingly works a lot with oral development issues and ties in adults and children 🤦) can remember.

His unusual breathing pattern was evident since birth, and unfortunately flew under radar for a while.

He eventually had his adenoids out earlier this year after a long wait, and unfortunately it made no difference as the enlarged tonsils were left. They were still causing upper airway obstruction -in simple words less oxygen to the whole body and brain especially. Among the symptoms parents notice with such kids are often disrupted sleeping, bed wetting, restlessness, irritability , waking up cranky and unrefreshed, growing slower than peers.

Thankfully there's treatment options available.

So while we wait for tonsils to be removed (likely another year away which really is not great at all when you struggle to breathe), we are making sure his tongue and other facial structures are working properly with a bit of help from Cheree and due to his quite low exercise compliance also making sure there's enough room for tongue by using Biobloc palate expander from which should be ready in the next few weeks - he chose a rainbow one with Among us character.

Yes, sometimes despite all our efforts we can't address the issues our own kids are struggling with, and have to delegate professional help to colleagues.

And yes, it's not an indication that we can't help someone in a similar situation as each case is different and requires an individual approach.

Yes, there are sometimes unavoidable surgical interventions required.

Yes, osteopathy and laser therapy is awesome for perioperative care at any age.

And yes, you always have to listen to the cool technologies your patients share with you in order to get better in your practice.

Eighty percent of the metabolic impact in ASD was caused by 14 shared biochemical pathways that led to decreased anti-inflammatory and antioxidant defenses, and to increased physiologic stress molecules like lactate, glycerol, cholesterol, and ceramides. CIRCOS plots and a new metabolic network parameter,
net, revealed differences in both the kind and degree of network connectivity. Of 50 biochemical pathways and 450 polar and lipid metabolites examined, the developmental regulation of the purine network was most changed. Purine network hub analysis revealed a 17-fold reversal in typically developing children. This purine network reversal did not occur in ASD. These results revealed previously unknown metabolic phenotypes, identified new developmental states of the metabolic correlation network, and underscored the role of mitochondrial functional changes, purine metabolism, and purinergic signaling in autism spectrum disorder.

Developmental changes from birth to 5-years in ASD were associated with a normal physiologic response to chronic excitatory, ATP-related signaling. An inhibitory reversal in this network occurred during typical development that did not occur in ASD.

Some exciting news in neuroimaging:

The Iseult MRI machine packs a magnetic field strength of 11.7 Teslas (T). By comparison, conventional MRI machines in wide use in hospitals today are usually 1.5 or at most 3 T.

The main benefit of that extra power is that much higher resolution images of the brain can be taken, much quicker. In just four minutes, Iseult can capture images down to 0.2 mm (0.008 in) of brain tissue horizontally, in 'slices' just 1-mm (0.04-in) thick. That volume is the equivalent of a few thousand neurons at a time.

For conventional MRI machines to take images of this resolution, patients would need to lie perfectly still for more than two hours – the slightest movement would blur the shot. That of course just isn’t feasible.

The world’s most powerful MRI machine has started proving its worth, by scanning living human brains. The resulting images give an ultra high resolution glimpse into the brain, which will help us better understand the nature of consciousness and treat neurodegenerative diseases.
