A study shows new insights on how damaged cells interact with disease-infested micro environments following acute kidney injury (AKI).

AKI is a serious global health hazard, especially community-acquired AKI (CA-AKI).

In nations like India, the International Society of Nephrology's "0 by 25" slogan, with the goal to eliminate unnecessary fatalities from AKI to zero by 2025 is unachievable, presumably because there is a dearth of information and action to address this pressing public health concern, especially in third world countries that struggle with the most basic of needs, owing to factors like low GDP, income disparity, less access to resources, etc.

Have you ever been faced with a choice at a crossroads? A recent study may have finally figured out what our brains are doing when we indulge in spontaneous behaviour.

The Brain Institute at Chapman University in California, US, conducted a study on how the brain triggers impulsive behaviour like leaping off a high-dive platform or coming up with novel ideas.

They concentrated on a phenomenon where the human brain becomes more active one or two seconds before it takes action.

Since the 1960s, neuroscientists have believed that this ramping is an indication that our brain is getting ready to act following the completion of an unconscious, premeditated decision.

Spinal cord injury, one of the most devastating injuries to the human body, is becoming more common than ever, said experts on Thursday.

Spinal Cord Injury Day is celebrated each year on September 5 to bring about awareness about the spinal cord.

The spine is the backbone of the human body and maintaining its health is crucial for overall well-being, said the health experts.

“With the increasing prevalence of sedentary lifestyles, poor posture habits, and the rise of technology use, spinal issues have become more common than ever,” Dr Arvind Kulkarni, Head - Spinal Surgeon, Mumbai Spine Scoliosis and Disc Replacement Centre, told.
