If the NIH gets messed up, there is no alternative. Not just in the US, but globally. It is by far the biggest engine of health research in the world. Which is why the idea that US scientists can just do their work elsewhere is a little fanciful.

I don't see a cancellation note anywhere but I would be surprised if it met.

We'll see...

Diffuse Axonal and Vascular Pathology in the Gyrencephalic Brain after High-Energy Blunt Injury: Clinicopathological Correlations Involving the Brainstem | Journal of Neurotrauma Traumatic brain injury (TBI) after high-energy, behind helmet blunt trauma (BHBT) is an important but poorly understood clinical entity often associated with apnea and death in humans. In this study, ...

Our new paper is out! Even with helmet protection, high-energy blunt trauma can lead to fatal respiratory failure. Our study maps specific brainstem injury patterns, revealing critical implications for #TBI & protection. Patterns of #vascularinjury ≠ #axonalinjury www.liebertpub.com/doi/10.1089/...

Plasma proteomic evidence for increased β-amyloid pathology after SARS-CoV-2 infection - Nature Medicine Blood biomarkers in a middle-aged population suggest that SARS-CoV-2 infection is associated with greater brain β-amyloid plaque accumulation.

More B-amyloid fibrillation in the brain --> more B-amyloid presence in the plasma. Here it goes, published today at @NatureMedicine. Are we seeing the initial spike of Alzheimer's cases reserved for the near future? Thank you @andrewewing11.bsky.social
