The review article on the 2026 Brain Prize winners' science is out: The cellular architecture of touch and pain, by Professor Fan Wang (MIT, US)

📊 NCEPOD highlighted suboptimal analgesia in this group: only 23% reported good pain control before surgery and 38% reported good pain control after surgery. Early pain team involvement is not optional. Read more in the #BJAEd: buff.ly/GbBq1Y5 #PatientSafety #PainTeams

Hey, all the pediatric anesthesia #PedsAnes enthusiasts on X 👋🏻 🚨 Survey alert 🚨 @ESRA_Society Pediatric #regionalanesthesia Working Group. Please spend a few minutes and help us to understand the current situation of #PedsRegional around the world docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

3 wicked weeks in the USA (Boston Children's and MSK in NYC) learning more on advanced RA in children,including ambulatory perineural catheters service. Thanks again to @_Walid_01 & @JohnHagenMD for your generosity & endless enthusiasm.

New paper alert! 🚨 📄 The Baby Blocks team presents a hands-on, clinically relevant paper that’s designed to support the latest advances in pediatric regional anesthesia, home peripheral nerve catheters! anesthesiology.theclinics.com/article/S1932-… #PedsPain #regionalanesthesia

In Science, researchers report the observation of dendritic nanotubes in brain tissue from mice and humans. The discovery suggests that the current understanding of the brain’s organization may be incomplete, overlooking a hidden layer of connectivity.

@RAPMOnline It would be useful to interrogate whether this method could help in the future phenotyping the pain and its possible dynamic changes over time and or chronification in multiple and distinguished surgical cohorts.

Bringing Sensory Testing Home 🏠 A new study validates a home-based QST toolkit that lets youth track sensory changes after surgery—reliably, safely, and without a lab. A big step toward accessible, real-world regional anesthesia research. READ HERE -> doi.org/10.1136/rapm-2…

@RAPMOnline I would question the efficacy outside of a trial? participants signed for the trial,hence an intrinsice bias?Our follow-up experience of kids sent home with wound catheters alveolar bone graft showed a staggering higher response rate from parents for phone calls vs text message.

💬 WhatsApp follow-up vs phone calls after continuous regional analgesia: • High satisfaction, similar response • More non-urgent reconsultations with app • No increase in serious events 🔗 Full text: doi.org/10.1136/rapm-2…

@heartstreatham @Gailsbakery @TfL I want to agree with the all comments posted. But I also see, except few business, many other cafes' who offer nothing special beyond than the "usual breakfast". Sorry to be blunt. Maybe an opportunity for Streatham to diversify business, with alternatives, even beyond cafes?

Here we go, Streatham @Gailsbakery is due to open towards the end of August in the old Dr Doolittles. Somewhere to watch @TfL road works from!

@lambeth_council Just add some cycling rack only! This is a massive waste of money. The roads are filthy and we need more investment in cleaning, control and environmental ads as people in Streatham continue to use roads & green space as a dumping ground. It looks like to live in a 3rd w country!

Our Community Parklets scheme supports more people to walk and wheel for everyday journeys 🚴‍♂️👨‍🦽 We now have: 🏘️ 6 community parklets across Lambeth 🛍️ 3 business parklets in Brixton & Clapham 🌿 More on the way Learn more: brnw.ch/21wTV4Z

@ViewFromTheQ : can you please clarify. When you advise people to turn up very early in the morning, where are they expected to wait if the gates will close at 10 pm and opens at 6 am? Outside the park? Are there toilets outside the gate?In the past gates remained open overnight

@FionaOwensx @ViewFromTheQ So. The Q app says the gate for the park closes overnight at 10 pm and opens at 6.30 am. So where the people line up before 6.30 am? Why some advise to turn up at 3/4/5 am? To line up by the gate?

@ViewFromTheQ If I go for 5:30am, what’s the chances of a ground pass?

Day 1 Qupdate 1500

@ViewFromTheQ How can people accessed the park if the gate was supposed to close at 10 pm?how can people then are advised to turn up early in the morning or during the night if the gate is closed?
