Endocisternal interfaces for minimally invasive neural stimulation and recording of the brain and spinal cord - Nature Biomedical Engineering

Nov 10, 2024 | nature.com | Joshua Chen |Robert Garcia |Ariadna Robledo |Joshua Woods |Fatima Alrashdan |Sean O’Leary | +7 more

AbstractMinimally invasive neural interfaces can be used to diagnose, manage and treat many disorders, with reduced risks of surgical complications. However, endovascular probes lack access to key cortical, subcortical and spinal targets, and are not typically explantable after endothelialization. Here we report the development and testing, in sheep, of endocisternal neural interfaces that approach brain and spinal cord targets through inner and outer spaces filled with cerebrospinal fluid.

“Pandora’s Box has been breached!” The warning greets us as we open the top of the box (how thematic!) to Ravensberger’s latest release in the Horrified line of tabletop games, Horrified: Greek Monsters.
Trick Or Treat Studios Tabletop Games: Nightmare Productions And Creature Feature » FANGORIA

While there is only one actual Mount Rushmore (for many reasons, I’m sure, but topping the list has got to be that it’s just too much work), many exist in my mind and I enjoy friendly debates about who to include. For example, the “Mount Rushmore of Game Show Hosts” would surely include Bob Barker, Alex Trebek, Gene Rayburn and… who else? Pat Sajak? Merv Griffin? After all, he wrote the Jeopardy! theme song. Hmm… What about Steve Harvey? Or how about Groucho Marx?

After five years of flat budgets, lawmakers returned to Charleston for the 2024 legislative session with many important spending priorities to address major needs.

Colorado's measles case should concern a state with a falling vaccination rate

Dec 27, 2023 | denverpost.com | David Higgins |Joshua Williams |Sean O’Leary

It was only a matter of time. As pediatricians, we are concerned by the first measles case in Colorado since 2019. We have anxiously watched for three years as measles vaccination rates have fallen in our state while cases have risen around the world. Colorado was spared in 2019 during our nation’s largest measles outbreak in 30 years. However, 1 in 8 Coloradan kindergarteners are not fully vaccinated against measles today, and our state is overdue for an outbreak. Measles is extremely dangerous.
A deeper look at West Virginia’s 2022 poverty data

Oct 4, 2023 | spiritofjefferson.com | Sean O’Leary

According to the Census Bureau’s official poverty estimates, West Virginia saw its child poverty rate increase from 20.7 percent to 25.0 percent between 2021 and 2022, the only state to see an increase by the official measure (along with Puerto Rico). In 2022, West Virginia’s child poverty rate was the second highest among the 50 states, with 86,400 children living in poverty.
Maximizing media relations as newsrooms shrink

Jul 5, 2023 | prdaily.com | Sean O’Leary

Sean O’Leary is a vice president at Susan Davis International. As a former reporter and current public relations pro, the dramatic decline in newsroom positions is really depressing. Axios reported this month that 1,972 newsroom jobs have been cut so far in 2023, surpassing the total for all of 2022. It’s confirmation of anecdotal evidence that has piled up since the COVID-19 pandemic that newsrooms are being slashed to their bare minimums.
