While there is much knowledge about local neuronal circuitry, considerably less is known about how neuronal input is integrated and combined across neuronal networks to encode higher order brain functions. One challenge lies in the large number of complex neural interactions. Neural networks use oscillating activity for information exchange between distributed nodes.

The purpose of the study was to assess the radiological risk to users and the environment related to the Glo system used to heat tobacco. The concentration of Po, radioactivity per cartridge, and radiation dose assessment were evaluated. For comparison purposes, to present the exposure scale, the same analyses were also performed for several traditional cigarettes.

Article Synopsis
  • Large vessel occlusion (LVO) strokes can be treated effectively with endovascular therapy (EVT), which improves outcomes compared to standard treatments, but delays can worsen results; EMS faces a choice between transporting patients to nearby primary stroke centers (PSCs) or further away endovascular stroke centers (ESCs).
  • A study involving 2,400 LVO stroke patients in the Northeast U.S. looked at how transportation methods affected outcomes, comparing those directly taken to ESCs (bypass group) versus those first taken to PSCs (non-bypass group).
  • Results showed that while 40% of the bypass group had good outcomes at 90 days versus 33.1% in the non-bypass group, the
