Brain 'Zaps' Might Limit the Damage From a Stroke
WEDNESDAY, June 21, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Could an electrical zap to the brain limit the damage a stroke inflicts?Yes, claims a small new study that found this noninvasive procedure increased blood flow to the areas around the clot that caused the stroke, thus protecting them from further damage. "This treatment can be efficiently applied in the emergency setting. It was well tolerated and shows really promising signs of rescuing brain tissue affected by the stroke," said lead researcher Dr. Mersedeh Bahr-Hosseini, a vascular neurologist at UCLA Health in Los Angeles. "Hopefully, in the not too far future, we will be able to further test the safety and effectiveness of this treatment," she said. Bahr-Hosseini said the treatment works by boosting blood flow in the brain."We think...

20 June 2023
TUESDAY, June 20, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- At any age an autism diagnosis is a major event. But is it best to find out while still young or might a late-in-life diagnosis give adults a better shot at a good quality of life?According to a new study, there's no one-size-fits-all answer.Researchers surveyed 300 adults living with autism in the United Kingdom, all of whom were asked to reveal at what age they were first diagnosed.The investigators then compared that information to an assessment of autistic trait severity and quality of life based on several key indicators.Those indicators included practical matters — such as access to health care, finances and social support — as well as self-reported psychological assessments, including overall satisfaction and the degree to which the...
