Study shows brain keeps internal body map intact after amputation

Researchers tracked brain activity before and after arm amputation and found that hand and lip maps in the cortex remained remarkably stable for up to five years. This challenges decades-old assumptions of large-scale remapping and supports the idea of a resilient internal body model.

Insights into the clinical presentation and management of sellar chondrosarcomas

Chondrosarcomas are a malignant form of bone cancer that is composed of cartilage-forming tumor cells. Sellar chondrosarcomas, which occur in the sellar region at the base of the skull, are a very rare manifestation of chondrosarcoma, making up only around 0.2% of all tumors found in the skull.

Hemoglobin emerges as a natural antioxidant defense in the brain

Did you know the same protein that gives blood its red color and carries oxygen throughout the body is also present inside brain cells? Hemoglobin, long celebrated for ferrying oxygen in red blood cells, has now been revealed to play an overlooked - and potentially game-changing - antioxidant role in the brain.

New system uses ECG and blood markers for Takotsubo Syndrome

It's often mistaken for a heart attack, but Takotsubo cardiomyopathy – previously known as Broken Heart syndrome – is a serious and sometimes fatal heart condition increasingly reported in intensive care units (ICUs). Yet without a clear clinical pathway in ICUs, it's often missed, putting critically ill patients at risk.
