An interesting study regarding a non-medication treatment option for sleep disorders.
In this randomized clinical trial of 110 older adults, 1-Hz rTMS targeting the right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex improved the benefits of tai chi chuan for sleep and cognitive performance which may be related to alterations in neural plasticity. These findings provide novel data on nonpharmacologic strategies for the rehabilitation of sleep disorders and may delay or even prevent MCI.

Deep learning models may be able to extract further wall motion data from ECGs.
This study aimed to identify novel ECG features using deep learning to enhance WMA detection, referencing echocardiography as the gold standard. A deep neural network (ECG-WMA-Net) was trained and explainability analysis revealed significant contributions from QRS and T-wave regions in addition to Q waves. This deep learning approach improves WMA screening accuracy, potentially addressing physiological differences not captured by standard ECG-based methods.

“California is receiving incredible support from Oregon, Washington, Utah, Colorado, Idaho, New Mexico, and Nevada in the battle against wildfires. These out-of-state resources are essential in helping to mitigate these fires and protect lives and property.
Available through the Emergency Management Assistance Compact (EMAC), a national agreement enabling states to share resources during disasters, this collaboration has been instrumental in ensuring that essential personnel, equipment, and support are readily accessible when needed.” #LA
“Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum announced today that Mexico will send firefighters and experts from the National Forestry Commission and the civil relief corps to assist Los Angeles.

An interesting, small study about the mechanism of how meditation is beneficial to mental health.
Previous research has demonstrated that mindfulness meditation is associated with a variety of benefits, including improved mental health. Researchers have suggested these benefits may be underpinned by differences in neural oscillations. The results of this suggest that experience with meditation is associated with higher oscillatory power and altered distributions of theta, alpha, and gamma oscillations, even after controlling for non-oscillatory 1/f activity. Band-specific differences in oscillatory activity may be a mechanism through which meditation leads to neurophysiological benefits.
