Part of Pripyats Hospital 126
Hospital No. 126, received the first victims of the Chernobyl accident, the basement still harbours some of their radioactive clothing. Shortly after the accident, firefighters arrived to try to extinguish the fires. First on the scene was a Chernobyl Power Station firefighter brigade under the command of Lieutenant Volodymyr Pravik, who died on 9 May 1986 of acute radiation sickness. They were not told how dangerously radioactive the smoke and the debris were.
"We didn't know much about radiation. Even those who worked there had no idea. There was no water left in the trucks. Misha filled a cistern and we aimed the water at the top. Then those boys who died went up to the roof – Vashchik, Kolya and others, and Volodya Pravik.... They went up the ladder ... and I never saw them again".
From eyewitness accounts of the firefighters involved before they died, one described his experience of the radiation as "tasting like metal", and feeling a sensation similar to that of pins and needles all over his face.

An Ode To Your Brain
I came across this video on You Tube and have to share it with you. It's called "Ode to the Brain" and I think it is wonderful.
A simple 3 minute and 42 second introduction to Neurology set to music and beautiful images.
your brain stores masses of information. The human brain is a mass of jelly you can hold in your hand and yet it can contemplate the vastness of interstellar space.
The brain encodes what we know in cells called Neurons and there is something like 100 Trillion neural connections
Your brain contains the equivalent of 20 million volumes of information and has been described as a very big place inside a very small space.
Information flows in as energy and explodes into a sensory experience.
No longer at the mercy of the reptile brain we can change ourselves. Think of the possibilities
mp3: symphonyofscience.com "Ode to the Brain" is the ninth episode in the Symphony of Science music video series. Through the powerful words of scientists Carl Sagan, Robert Winston, Vilayanur Ramachandran, Jill Bolte Taylor, Bill Nye, and Oliver Sacks, it covers different aspects the brain including its evolution, neuron networks, folding, and more. The material sampled for this video comes from Carl Sagan's Cosmos, Jill Bolte Taylor's TED Talk, Vilayanur Ramachandran's TED Talk, Bill Nye's Brain episode, BBC's "The Human Body", Oliver Sachs' TED Talk, Discovery Channel's "Human Body: Pushing the Limits", and more.
This card was posted with a George V postage stamp , with a mesage from the hospital secretary. Operating theatres didn't require a lot of kit when the anaesthetic was a bottle of ether and there was no monitoring equipment, but the operating table is getting more complex - this may after the first war. Certainly there is a large drip tray at the head end for catching spills during brain surgery! What looks like a support for something in the foreground is actually, I think, a gas cylinder mounted horizontally and covered with a cloth; there is a rubber mouthpiece above it on a stand. Oxygen started to be used medically by 1920, so could this be an early instance of use? It would explain why the object is in pride of place. This is now the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery, Queen's Square.
St Dymphna: Patron saint of mental and nervous disorders
Feast 15th May
Lida Joao house.
St Dymphna may not be known very well across Goa. She is the patron saint of those suffering from neurological disorders, mental illness, nervous system disorders, epilepsy, sleep walking, possessed people, runaways, emotionally disturbed and also mental health professionals.
In the ancestral chapel of the ‘Casa de Almeidas’ at Bainfol, Assolna existed amongst other images of saints, the image of St Dymphna. Since last year, the family of Lida Joao, have been dedicating May 15 to the devotion of this Saint at their ancestral house at Casa de Almeidas, Bainfol, Assolna. The image of the Saint will be kept open to friends and persons on May 15 from 8 a.m. until 11 p.m. for those who wish to have a glimpse of the saint and offer their prayers. A prayer service will also be held at 9 a.m.
The ‘Isle of Saints’ has long been a title popularly given to the island evangelised by St Patric. And appropriately so, for the names of the Irish saints would more than fill the Church’s calendar. However what is sad is that many Catholics are entirely unfamiliar with so many of these glorious saints.
One such forgotten saint, referred to as the “Lily of Fire” is St Dymphna. St Dymphna was born in the 7th century in Ireland. Although Ireland was largely Catholic at that time her father, a petty King was still a pagan. Her mother was a devout Christian. Dymphna was like her mother, beautiful and devout. It was not long however that an unexpected cloud overshadowed her happy childhood with the death of her mother.
Dymphna’s father overcome with grief was persuaded after some time by his counselors to seek solace in a second marriage. After visiting many countries in search of a bride, the messengers returned saying that they could not find a bride as charming and amiable as his own lovely daughter. The King thus conceived the evil design of marrying Dymphna. With persuasion and flattering words, he proposed to her. Dymphna was horrified at the suggestion and asked for a period of 40 days to consider the proposal. She asked Fr Gerebran, a priest and family friend for advice, who suggested she flee from the country. With all speed she set out accompanied by Fr Gerebran. The King on discovering that she had fled, set out with his followers in search of her. They traced the fugitives at Belgium and the King coerced Dymphna to return with him. When Fr Gerebran objected, The King got him killed and once again persuaded Dymphna to marry him. With undaunted courage she refused. Infuriated he himself then struck off the head of his child. The day of her death has been assigned as her feast day.
After several years the villagers recalling her holy death, went to the cave in which her body was kept to give her a more suitable burial. Great was their surprise to see two of the most beautiful tombs, and on opening they found lying on her breast a red tile bearing the inscription “Here lies the holy virgin and martyr, Dymphna?” Later a magnificent Church of St Dymphna was built on the site where the bodies were first buried.
Miracles and cures began to occur in increasing numbers from that time. Her fame as the patroness of victims of nervous diseases and mental disorders has now spread from country to country.

Neural implants are of great value in neuroscience research as they enable a connection between nervous tissue and the ex vivo environment. Graphene is an ideal material for producing electrodes which could be implanted without encouraging the growth of scar tissue.

HERMOSA BEACH, CA--Competitive runner, Laura Cattivera, finds a unique way to keep up the pace despite a debilitating medical condition called 'focal dystonia.' She runs backwards. Laura has a passion for running – and nothing is going to stop her. So run Laura, run.
After years of medical tests, Laura finally received the diagnosis of focal dystonia in 1995. Focal dystonia is a neurological condition – due to overuse. Laura had to become creative and find new was to run or give up her passion. She choose running backwards.

Lead poisoning in condors can have both neurological and physical effects. If the condor does not receive medical attention it can suffer weight loss, lethargy, blindness and death. Luckily, the lead exposure in this condor was caught early and it received lead poison treatment at the Los Angeles Zoo. During that time the large bird was treated with an intravenous medicine to bind the lead and help flush it from the condor’s body. After the condor’s lead level is lowered, the bird will be released back into the wild.
Dyslexia is a neurological disorder that many do not understand and often dismiss as stupidity or laziness. If you don't believe me, just do a search for dyslexia or dyslexic on Flickr. See what context people put it in.
Best definition I have seen:
"Dyslexia is a neurologically-based, often familial disorder which interferes with the acquisition of language. Varying in the degrees of severity, it is manifested by difficulties in receptive and expressive language, including phonological processing, in reading, writing, spelling, handwriting and sometimes arithmetic. Dyslexia is not the result of lack of motivation, sensory impairment, inadequate instructional or environmental opportunities, but may occur together with these conditions. Although dyslexia is lifelong, individuals with dyslexia frequently respond successfully to timely and appropriate intervention" (Orton Dyslexia Society, 1994).
Parents and teachers, I ask you this question. If punishing or humiliating a child in a wheelchair will not motivate that child to walk, why would punishing or humiliating a child with dyslexia motivate them to read, spell, or excel at mathematics? You want to help a child or adult who is struggling with dyslexia, start by researching the facts.

I built this board to calibrate ultrasonic transducers in a psychiatry lab at UNC Chapel Hill. A powerful microcontroller provides the source and monitoring of the ultrasonic signal which is amplified before being used for calibration. The research for which this is used helps us understand the human brain and developmental neurology!

WHAT IS NEUROLOGY?
WHAT IS A NEUROLOGIST?
A neurologist can help with brain injury recovery by providing a diagnosis, developing a treatment plan, and coordinating care. This may include prescribing medications to manage symptoms, providing referrals for physical, occupational, or speech therapy, and monitoring progress over time. They may also order imaging studies such as CT or MRI scans, to help understand the extent of the injury and plan treatment. Additionally, they may also provide guidance on lifestyle modifications, such as diet and exercise, that can help optimize recovery.
There are several ways to find a neurologist, including:
Ask your primary care physician for a referral: Your primary care doctor may be able to recommend a neurologist who is well-suited to your needs.
Search online directories: Many professional medical organizations, such as the American Academy of Neurology, have online directories of neurologists in your area.
Check with your insurance provider: Your insurance provider may have a list of in-network neurologists that you can choose from.
Check with your local hospital or medical center: Many hospitals and medical centers have neurologists on staff, who may be able to provide a referral.
Search online review sites: you can check online review sites such as Yelp, Healthgrades, or Google reviews to see the feedback from other patients.
It is important to note that it is always good to verify the credentials of the neurologist, such as education, training, and certification.
ABI Resources team members take directives from Neurologists. Neurology is the branch of medicine or biology that deals with the anatomy, functions, and organic disorders of nerves and the nervous system. The nervous system is a complex, sophisticated system that regulates and coordinates body activities. A doctor who specializes in neurology is called a neurologist. The neurologist treats disorders that affect the brain, spinal cord, and nerves, such as:
Central nervous system: the brain and spinal cord
Peripheral nervous system: all other neural elements, such as eyes, ears, skin, and other "sensory receptors"
Cerebrovascular disease, such as stroke
Seizure disorders, such as epilepsy
Spinal cord disorders
Speech and language disorders
Demyelinating diseases of the central nervous system, such as multiple sclerosis
Headache disorders
Infections of the brain and peripheral nervous system
Movement disorders, such as Parkinson's disease
Neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (Lou Gehrig's disease)
Because the nervous system is complex, a neurologist may specialize in a specific area. There are many subspecialties. Some examples of subspecialties include:
headache medicine
neuromuscular medicine
neurocritical care
neuro-oncology
geriatric neurology
autonomic disorders
vascular (stroke care)
child neurology
intervention neuroradiology
epilepsy
Neurologists do not perform surgery. If one of their patients requires surgery, they refer them to a neurosurgeon.
