🚨 Hot off the press: my new paper that moves this field forward 🚀 and changes the narrative on what #POTS, #MECFS and #LongCOVID are... Neuroimmune Disorders! 🧠 The brain and the autonomic nervous system are involved in the immune system regulation. 🧠 There is evidence of autoimmunity, immune dysregulation, cerebral hypoperfusion, neuroinflammation and other mechanisms in all three disorders. 🧠 #Neuroimmunology is a field that should embrace these disorders: #MultipleSclerosis, the staple of neuroimmunology, used to be called hysterical paralysis before CT and MRI were invented. We're at the same crossroads with these disorders. ❌ These disorders are not "mysterious", "anxiety", "deconditioning," "functional neurologic" etc. etc. ‼️ Classifying these disorders as neuroimmune and including them as part of neuroimmunology training is critical. 🛌 #PatientCare and lives of millions of people living with these disabling conditions are at stake! Thanks to my esteemed colleagues and co-authors, Dr. @TaylorDoherty8, immunologist from UC San Diego and Dr. Lawrence Steinman, neuroimmunologist from @StanfordMed, for their support!

Happy new year! The book "Vagus Nerve Stimulation" by Peter Staats, Imanuel Lerman and colleagues is out, and I'm delighted to have contributed to two chapters: Vagus Nerve Stimulation for the Treatment of Heart Failure and PTSD. Book: lnkd.in/gCgqqx-E Heart Failure: lnkd.in/gfEFv-_p PTSD: lnkd.in/gU4_hCfh For those interested in diving deeper, I recommend checking out the Vagus Nerve Society's Clinical Practice Guideline for Application of nVNS for PTSD by @doug_bremner @ElectroCoreVNS: lnkd.in/g8kDc4ff

Researchers at @UCSanDiego and @Stanford developed a new flexible adhesive device for non-invasive monitoring of cervical nerve activity nature.com/articles/s4159…

A new article from PRF discusses how neutrophils help prevent the transition from acute to chronic pain after injury, and how dampening their activity with anti-inflammatory drugs, like ibuprofen or diclofenac, can prolong pain duration. Learn more: bit.ly/3z1Up4r

New @CDCMMWR: Approximately 1 in 5 adults ages 18+ experience a new condition a month or more after surviving #COVID19. More: bit.ly/MMWR7121.

We are thrilled to announce that @UCRiverside will soon join the @UCSanDiego and @UCIrvine as a member of the California Institute for Telecommunications and Information Technology, or Calit2: ucsdnews.ucsd.edu/pressrelease/u…. #STEM #qualcomminstitute #ucsd #ucriverside

There's no shortage of problems—but there's also no shortage of ideas for how to solve them. What there is a shortage of is time. If traditional research and funding models aren't working fast enough, why not think out of the box? #Research #funding #Science

First use in humans of controllable conduction block affecting pain transmission only by ultra low frequency stimulation. Results are the most impressive I’ve seen in two decades of treating patients. I’m very excited for the future of this technology. stm.sciencemag.org/content/13/608…

A recent article in @ScienceMagazine describes how NCCIH grantee @VitalyNapadow of @Harvard and other researchers are probing the nerve links between the brain and body to understand how they work and how they may go awry in various diseases. bit.ly/interoc

Super exciting to perform preclinical trials using FUS for SI joint ablation in Atlanta today. #fusmobile @AvanosMedical thank you to a great team.

The vagus nerve is a natural (albeit crazy complex) target for treating disorders that manifest all over the body. We know implanted stimulators work for some of them, but could noninvasive devices be a solution too? statnews.com/2021/04/22/vag…
