I look forward to reading their reports when they finish this important research #tbi

Longitudinal population-based research reveals associations between prenatal SSRI exposure and brain development from childhood to adolescence. https://ja.ma/3L2rYJ0

May be we need to add Free T3 in routine labs, TSH with or without free T4 is not enough! "It is important to note that the more typically measured biomarkers for thyroid function (T4 and TSH) are poorly linked to free T3 levels," Lawton and colleagues wrote. The ratio of TSH:T4 explained only 1.7% of variation in T3 levels, they noted, which suggested that TSH and T4 may not be accurate surrogates of free T3. Thus, "direct measurement of free T3 is likely vital to properly stratify the effects of HPT-axis variation," https://lnkd.in/gBt_4hTK #thyroidhealth #depression #psychoneuroendocrinology #hormones #health #primarycare #psychiatry

New Danish study looking at risk of psychiatric and neurological diagnoses after COVID-19. https://lnkd.in/dzTPUcs6 https://lnkd.in/dmZthqfe   It is nice to see our prior findings being reproduced with updated data also finding that the increased risk of neuropsychiatric disorders is driven by infection severity - and that the increased risk after COVID-19 resembles the increased risk for neuropsychiatric disorders observed after other respiratory infections with similar severity. https://lnkd.in/dyr6NXPC https://lnkd.in/gSzNBBWf   #COVID-19, #Psychiatry, #Neurology, #MentalDisorders, #Cognition"

👉 Do you know neuropathy can be caused by various factors in your life? Knowledge is the first step to managing and reversing it!  1️⃣ Chronic Alcohol Consumption 🍷: Alcohol has a toxic effect on nerve tissue, which over time can cause nerves to deteriorate or become damaged. This damage can disrupt the normal functioning of the peripheral nerves, leading to chronic pain, tingling, and numbness. 2️⃣ Vitamin B12 Deficiency 💊: Vitamin B12 is essential for nerve health as it helps maintain the myelin sheath that protects nerve fibers. Without enough B12, this protective layer can degrade, causing nerve signals to slow down or become faulty, leading to neuropathy. 3️⃣ Injury or Surgery 🤕🔪: Any physical trauma can directly damage the nerves, disrupting their ability to transmit signals. Post-surgical neuropathy can also occur if nerves are inadvertently damaged during operations. 4️⃣ Hypothyroidism 🦋: This condition affects your metabolism and can result in fluid buildup in tissues which may exert pressure on peripheral nerves. Prolonged pressure can cause these nerves to malfunction, resulting in neuropathic symptoms. 5️⃣ Certain Infections 🦠: Viruses and bacteria can cause inflammation or direct damage to nerves. For example, shingles can cause severe nerve damage in the affected area. Lyme disease, diphtheria, botulism, HIV can all cause varying degrees of nerve damage leading to neuropathy. 6️⃣ Vasculitis 🔥🩸: Inflammation of blood vessels can restrict blood flow to nerves, depriving them of oxygen and nutrients. This lack of nourishment can cause nerves to become damaged or die, leading to neuropathy.  If you or someone you know is dealing with neuropathic symptoms, drop a comment with "Aware" below!  #NeuropathyAwareness #HealthJourney #KnowledgeIsPower #ChiropractorClinic #HealthJourney #WindsorChiropractor #ColoradoChiropractor #AlthoffWellnessClinic #neuropathy #medications #neuropathyhurts #neuropathysucks #neuropathyfighter #neuropathypain #neuropathyawareness #neuropathytreatment #neuropathywarrior #neuropathyrelief #footpainrelief #footpainsucks #nervepain #painreliever #reduceinflammation #naturalpainrelief #nervepainawareness

Gestational exposures have enduring impacts on brain and neuroimmune development and function. Perturbations of pregnancy leading to placental structure/function deficits, cell stress, immune activation, and endocrine changes (metabolic, growth factors, etc.) all increase neuropsychiatric risk in offspring. The existing literature links obstetric diseases with placental involvement to offspring neuroimmune outcomes and neurodevelopmental risk. Psychoneuroimmune outcomes in offspring brain include changes to microglia, cytokine/chemokine production, cell stress, and long-term immunoreactivity. These outcomes are altered by structural, anti-angiogenic/hypoxic, inflammatory, and metabolic diseases of the placenta. This fetal programming occurs via direct placental passage or production of factors which can act directly on fetal brain substrates, or indirectly via action of circulating factors on intermediates in the placenta. Placental neuroendocrine, vascular/angiogenic, immune, and extracellular vesicular mechanisms are detailed. These mechanisms interact within various placental and pregnancy conditions. An increased understanding of the placental origins of psychoneuroimmunology will yield dividends for human health. Identifying maternal and placental biomarkers for fetal neuroimmune health may also revolutionize early diagnosis and precision psychiatry, empowering patients to make the best healthcare decisions for their families. Targeting placental mechanisms may be a valuable approach for the prevention and mitigation of intergenerational, lifelong neuropathology.

A new study led by UCLA neurologist Dr. Rhonda Voskuhl sheds light on the underlying mechanisms linking menopause to cognitive deficits and brain atrophy. Published September 28, 2023, the study reveals that both aging and estrogen loss were critical to cognitive deficits in women. This critical body of work confirms the effect of menopause-related cognitive decline and prompts the need for additional studies to address preventive measures and support for women during this critical life stage.

Excited to share our latest #research #article! Free access for 50 days to our new study showing that amniotic cortisol predicts multiple growth and developmental outcomes in healthy, non-stressed macaques 🐒 This is important research that is nearly impossible to do in humans, because pregnant people are generally only referred for an amniocentesis for karyotyping/genetic concerns -- it's not done in standard populations. We show that fetal cortisol exposure, as measured by amniotic cortisol, predicted neonatal growth and brain development, and cognitive development later in infancy. https://lnkd.in/ej5uNWbH
