A changing climate may be linked to growing death and disability from stroke in regions around the world, according to a new study. Researchers found over three decades that non-optimal temperatures, those above or below temperatures associated with the lowest death rates, were increasingly linked to death and disability due to stroke. The study does not prove that climate change causes stroke.

Walking more is linked to a longer life at a higher quality. That is something we can all aim for. High levels of aerobic fitness, as measured by V02 max, is one of the most powerful predictors of longevity. But for many people regular exercise at even moderate intensities will not be on the cards. I don’t think that is a good idea, but it will be a reality for many.

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is an interdisciplinary and reversible therapy that uses high-frequency electrical stimulation to correct aberrant neural pathways in motor and cognitive neurological disorders. However, the high frequency of the waves used in DBS can interfere with electrical recording devices (e.g., electrocardiogram, electroencephalogram, cardiac monitor), creating artifacts that hinder their interpretation.
