World first: scientists open blood-brain barrier non-invasively

[@patricesamuel3962]

This may also help in the case of infectious disease. In the case of Rabies, one of the things that has been a impediment is that Antiviral medications, such as Favipiravir and Ribavarin cannot make it into the brain. This may provide the method needed to make those treatments have an effect.

Dr Todd Mainprize was a friend of mine - we grew up in the same area, went to the same high school (he’s a few years younger lol). The world lost a great doctor, friend, healer and human being with his passing.

[@michaelb369]

Doctor Mainprize performed brain surgery on my father when he was terminally ill and extended his life by 11 months. I’m forever grateful to Todd for the extended time he gave me with my dad I loved so much. The world truly lost an amazing person in Todd Mainprize. God bless him and his family.

I’m very sorry for your loss...Losing a friend is an extremely daunting and cumbersome ordeal...Dr. Mai prize was incredible, and it was a pleasure knowing him, even though it was only for a brief period of time...Just curious, what did he die from?? He was a relatively young and healthy man, and so I can’t help but wonder what he died from 🤷‍♂️...

This is AMazing! Why isn't this Front Page news??!?!?!

[@mgalikhanisaeid8033]

+Jaime Logrono The front page I'm afraid is taken up by the latest on the kardashians

[@bigmouthstrikesagain4056]

Now this is just conjecture but iwonder if this could be used in conjunction with the g127v homozygous prion variant to transport it through the blood brain barrier through some type of spinal or jugular catheter? Im not sure if the microbubble agents would denaturize it . I heard on a website or paper somewhere that there couls be a problem getting the g127 acrous the blood brain barrier because of its size or something like that
