A study published in Nature demonstrated that implanted electrodes could provide a potential therapy for chronic brain injuries. Led by Dr. Nicholas Schiff, the study looked at five people with moderate to severe brain injuries. They received electrode implants in the brain and, with stimulation from the electrodes, saw improvements in cognitive performance. Researchers told The New York Times that, should the positive results continue, the implants could become the first effective therapy for chronic brain injuries. According to The New York Times, the researchers targeted the central lateral nucleus of the brain to achieve these results. They found that stimulating this area of the brain could help patients regain focus and attention. The researchers gave volunteers tests to judge their ability to focus and switch tasks, according to the report. Before surgery, the volunteers each received a scan of their brain, establishing a map to guide the electrode to the central lateral nucleus. Dr. Jaimie Henderson of Stanford University conducted the implants. The study originally had six volunteers but one withdrew with a scalp infection. Starting one month post-procedure, the five volunteers took follow-up tests. Their scores improved from between 15% and 52% compared to pre-procedure, according to The New York Times. Dr. Joseph Fins, a medical ethicist at Weill Cornell Medicine, interviewed the volunteers and family members, too. Most reportedly said the implant “made them more like their former selves.” One volunteer — the one with the largest cognitive improvement based on the tests — said he didn’t think the procedure hurt, however, he didn’t know “if it helped much.” However, that subject’s son observed significant changes in his father, according to the report. The team has plans for a larger study of the brain implants and could look to target other areas of the brain as well.

Evolution of Hygiene to Preserve the Earth SEOUL, South Korea, Nov. 22, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- AndKwan Natural Science Inc. announced that it has succeeded in developing a new organic antibacterial preservative and an antibiotic composition containing it together with its parent company, White Tiger Ground LLC. Continue Reading The name of the new substance is WTGPhLATM, and it can be used in everything from cosmetics to food, health functional foods, and pharmaceuticals. According to Kwanyoung Park, CEO of AndKwan Natural Science Inc. the new material will be distributed worldwide under the trade name 'Immune Barrier CellTM'. Immune Barrier Cell symbolizes the antibacterial and immune effects among the various effects of WTGPhLATM. According to ANDKWAN, the motivation for developing WTGPhLATM is due to the side effects of chemical preservatives and decreased efficacy caused by resistance of commonly used antibacterial (antibiotic) and preservative agents, and the frequent emergence of super bacteria. In particular, the demand for 'organic bio antibacterial preservatives' has emerged as a major issue and is rapidly growing for both the natural environment and people, especially in Western countries such as Europe and the United States. WTGPhLATM is an organic antibacterial preservative that has a highly effective antibacterial spectrum against pathogenic strains such as Staphylococcus aureus, pneumoniae, Escherichia coli, and black mold, and has passed preservative and antibacterial tests from the international KOLAS certified testing and analysis agency. In addition, it has been certified by the international KOLAS agency as having an antibacterial effect of 99.99% against special strains of acne bacteria, dandruff bacteria, and scalp inflammation, seborrheic dermatitis bacteria that cause hair loss. CEO Park explained that WTGPhLATM (Immune Barrier CellTM) are attracting attention not only for their antibacterial and preservative efficacy, but also for their patented, eco-friendly production process. This new eco-friendly production technology of ANDKWAN minimizes process steps, reducing carbon emissions and improving production efficiency by 4.3 times compared to the existing world-class technology. Park, the CEO explained what problems they hope to solve with the substance. "Through WTGPhLATM, we want to ensure that food and cosmetics companies no longer shout about preservative-free and that consumers do not have to be afraid even if preservatives are used. In other words, we want to create a world where people can feel safe through the organic antibacterial preservatives, WTGPhLATM for the health of both nature and people."
