Does our circadian rhythm determine more than we know?

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-wounds-bodyclock/wounds-sustained-at-night-heal-twice-as-slowly-scientists-find-idUSKBN1D82U9 On the very important finding coming out today of the significant effect that the human biological clock has on wound healing and repair. Simply, there is evidence that injury that occurs between 8pm -8am takes twice as long to heal as those occurring in the daytime ( because the cells involved in the healing process are basically obeying nature's call to sleep at night!). Yes, fibroblasts were involved in this stud y, but could the others cells do same? The interesting angle for me is the extrapolation to neurological injury. Is it better to have a stroke in the daytime than at night? Do nocturnal seizures cause more persistent damage to the brain (thus more neurological impairment) than daytime seizures? Going further, does this effect have any relationship to survival and recovery from acute coronary syndromes? Does this s...

Neuronal suicide as a step in Alzheimer's disease pathogenesis

  Neuronal suicide is found to be implicated in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease, a common chronic degenerative brain disease. A lot of research is ongoing around this condition with potentials for new treatment options. It's notable that work on Alzheimer's disease in Nigeria and Africa lags behind global trends. We need to do more locally.  https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-66816268

Celebrate World Cerebral Palsy Awareness Day

World Cerebral Palsy Awareness Day Cerebral palsy is a group of permanent disorders of movement and posture causing activity limitation that are attributed to non-progressive disturbances in the developing foetal or infant brain. The motor disorders are often accompanied by disturbances of sensation, perception, cognition, communication and behavior as well as by epilepsy and secondary musculoskeletal problems. Cerebral palsy is caused by a broad group of developmental, genetic, metabolic, ischaemic (majorly from obstetric complications, so can be prevented) and   infectious diseases. Celebrate world cerebral palsy Awareness day by finding satisfaction in everyone not based on what you pictured they should be but by who they are. They may have some disabilities but they are able to do something. Don’t capitalize on the disabilities and overlook their abilities. Would you let someone with cerebral palsy make a mark in the tides of time? Or would you continue to lock the...
