Friday’s my day for blogging about trivia or humour – or bits’n’pieces. So here’s an ‘allsorts’ post with a few bits and pieces that caught my eye this week…
First up, Left/Right asymmetry in the brain – a nice news piece found at virtualmedicalcentre.com.
A video about chronic daily headache is also available on the site – take a look at it for some good information on ‘new daily persistent headache’.
If you have a spare hour or two, you can head to Dana.org for an explore through their pages on brain stuff. You could spend a long, long time in there – luckily they have a good search function and you can find your way around reasonably easily.
A very brief snippet about emotions and physical health – the basic finding is that how you feel emotionally influences how you feel physically. Everywhere in the world – not just in affluent countries, but also in places where basic survival is hard work.
Not a new finding, but news again – sending patients for MRI or CT or other investigations is again found not to be helpful in terms of outcomes… When will doctors and patients get the message?
…and finally – the courses some kids get at school are amazing! I wish they had ’em when I was a girl…
