Research like theirs explores the mechanisms behind Fragile X and new treatment options and helps find ways to better support and care for individuals and families affected by this condition.
Back at work after an all nighter at the airport due to delays and finally a cancellation—-rebooked and glad to be home. Tired but energized as Aranyo presents his exciting updates on his research into the mechanisms of #febrileseizures to me in my office😊😊😊😊
After a hard days work, glad to spend a little time at the waterfalls in Dominica- courtesy, Dr. Rachel Andrew.
Phew!!! Busy day at the clinic in Dominica. They’re all set up for cloud based #EEG monitoring. 6 routine and 1 AMB EEG done today with 4 consults and one lecture at the hospital- lot’s of questions as I raise awareness about #infantilespasms

💡Accurate identification of mimic automatisms can guide clinicians in localizing brain areas involved in seizure onset. Kokkinos et al. provide a great overview!

Today, the Speaker honoured all the continuing MLAs from 2015.

Ten years ago today, I had the honour of being elected as the MLA for Edmonton-Centre.
Just a fresh-faced “kid” in his early 40s, simultaneously stunned & incredibly excited to be part of a powerful shift in Alberta politics - the election of our first NDP government. #ableg

I remember the first day we sat in the chamber with Speaker Gene Zwozdesky, learning the rules of the Assembly, amazed that I actually had a seat there & the privilege & responsibility to speak on behalf of the Albertans who’d elected me.
(That was my 1st bow tie.) #ableg

🧠 Study by Nagai et al. highlights cognitive effects of CAR-T in B-ALL patients. Of 10 cases, 3 developed ICANS. 2 AYA patients had severe memory & emotional issues—despite low encephalopathy scores. All recovered in 1 month, but effects were profound.
