Study shows prevalence and misdiagnosis of post-concussive syndrome in children after mild head injury

A new study by Tel Aviv University, Kaplan Medical Center and Shamir Medical Center (Assaf Harofeh) found that one in four children (25.3%) who have been discharged from the emergency room after a mild head injury are misdiagnosed and continue to suffer from persistent post-concussion syndrome for many years.

WVU researcher unravels role of STAT5 protein in the development of multiple sclerosis

A human immune system is a lot like the board game Mouse Trap: it's a Rube Goldberg system of interacting parts. Only instead of a falling ball causing a tiny diver to leap into a tub-; which, in turn, springs a trap on some plastic mice-; proteins trigger other proteins to activate immune cells and direct them toward germs.
