A concussion isn’t “just a bump on the head.”

This month, we’re highlighting the work of John J. Leddy of UBMD Orthopaedics & Sports Medicine, whose research is helping shape new youth concussion guidelines built around one key message:

🚩 Recognize & Remove 🚩

If a young athlete shows signs like confusion, headache, dizziness, or balance problems after a hit, take them out of play and get them evaluated. Early removal can significantly shorten recovery time.

The rule is simple: If in doubt, sit them out.

Tuberculosis treatment is long, complex, and often hard to finish, which can lead to resistance and worse outcomes. That’s why this research matters.

Researchers at the Jacobs School of Medicine & Biomedical Sciences - University at Buffalo developed biocompatible nanoparticles that deliver rifampin directly to the lungs via inhalation, designed to:

• Stay in the lungs longer than oral pills
• Target immune cells where TB bacteria hide
• Potentially reduce side effects and dosing frequency to once a week instead of daily
• Improve treatment effectiveness and adherence worldwide

This work could change how TB care looks and feels for patients globally.

UB researchers have developed a new inhalable form of tuberculosis (TB) treatment that could significantly reduce the burden of current therapy.

“Multidisciplinary care” means your providers aren’t operating in silos.

At UBMD Physicians' Group, specialists across neurology, neurosurgery, primary care, OB/GYN, pediatrics, psychiatry and more collaborate — sometimes on the same floor — to align on diagnosis, treatment plans, and follow-up care.

Instead of disconnected appointments and repeated explanations, your care team communicates directly with each other.

The result is...
• More streamlined decision-making
• Clearer treatment plans
• Fewer gaps between specialties
• A more coordinated experience for you and your family

It’s expertise, connected.

UBMD Psychiatry has launched a new rTMS program offering hope for patients with treatment-resistant depression and OCD.

Led by Dr. Raphael Leo, this FDA-approved, non-invasive therapy uses targeted magnetic stimulation to support mood regulation without anesthesia, sedation, or recovery time. Most sessions last 20–30 minutes, and patients return to daily life immediately.

Based at ECMC, the program is embedded within the Jacobs School of Medicine & Biomedical Sciences - University at Buffalo academic medical system, ensuring careful evaluation, ongoing monitoring, and coordinated psychiatric care.

Engaging with art has been shown to reduce stress, spark inspiration, and activate areas of the brain tied to memory, meaning, and motivation.

Art can help us reflect, feel connected, and see possibilities in new ways.

• Buffalo AKG Art Museum
• Burchfield Penney Art Center
• Lyceum at Silo City
• Castellani Art Museum of Niagara University
• Buffalo Museum of Science

Sometimes caring for your heart and mind starts with simply letting yourself be inspired. 💙
