  1. An exciting first day at the #iDR26 meeting in Brussels on drug #repurposing.

    Academics, company representatives, funders, policy makers, patients and others, all gathered to discuss how to help #repurpose #medicines for the many #diseases still with unmet medical needs, including #vascular #anomalies.

  7. An interesting session on #vascular anomalies at the Society of #Interventional #radiology (#SIR) meeting in Toronto. Met new enthusiastic younger colleagues! #VASCAPA #CMTC #HEVAS #VASCERN

  8. It was a great annual #Crick #Rare Disease Conference 2026. Learned so much new, made novel contacts, and of course, discussed #precision #therapies for #vascular, and more specifically, #lymphatic anomalies. Organised by @Veronica K. #VASCERN #vascapa #hevas #eurordis #CMTC

  9. Congratulations, Emmanuel, on this online publication showing how #sirolimus treatment can be adapted to patients' needs. Most #patients with #slow-#flow #vascular #malformations benefit to some extent, and many experience significant #symptom reduction even with #intermittent dosing. This is a big step forward in the #multimodal management of vascular malformations. #VASCERN #VASCAPA #CMTC #HEVAS #WELRI #ISSVA #EVDays #deduveinstitute #Leducq #Radiorg #Eurordis #Lymph

  14. University of New Mexico #scientist is revealing what might be one of the most overlooked causes of #dementia — damage in the #brain tiny #bloodvessels. Dr. Elaine Bearer has created a new way to classify these changes, showing that many people diagnosed with #Alzheimers also suffer from #vascular damage that quietly destroys #brain tissue. Even more surprising, she’s finding #microplastics inside the brain that appear linked to #inflammation & #memory loss. sciencedaily.com/releases/2025 #healthcare

  17. Thank you, dear reader, for this incredibly kind review of #FindingtheRightWords, the #memoir I wrote with #neurologist, #Dr.BruceMiller. #Dementia doesn't take a break for the holidays, which means #caregivers don't get a break either. Sending strength to those of you who are living with #Alzheimer's, caring for someone with it or another form of dementia (#FTD, #CTE, #vascular, #LewyBodies, #early-onset, #Creutzfelt-Jakob, and others), and/or loving someone with #dementia.

    I’ve heard that since Harry Hibbs isn’t the huge star he was, they just call it the #Accordion Effect now

    I did a long series of #AccordionScience posts on the bird site sharing a remarkably wide range of uses of that metaphor in many different fields

    “Kelly Hanna’s leg was amputated on a summer day in 2020, after a Michigan doctor who called himself the “leg saver” had damaged her arteries by snaking metal wires through them to clear away plaque…Over 18 months, he performed at least that many artery-opening procedures…telling her they would improve blood flow and prevent amputations!

  20. Hey guess what! I had two more attacks on Sunday, so I've had a full MOT and its not TIAs (mini-strokes) at all - its a #brain #lesion (tumour/cyst - TBD) causing #seizures instead. Primary, not secondary, and almost certainly treatable, so I should get a bit more adventuring out of this otherwise now proven, poked, prodded, blood-tested, ultrasounded, CT scanned, X-rayed and MRI'd (!) healthy body!

    Bright side - its not #vascular #dementia like my Dad, so I shouldn't end up drooling in a care home for years, and I'll probably go pretty quick when I finally hang up my boots if the cards fall that way - hopefully many years hence! ✅ 👍

  21. Healing from the hypothalamus –

    To survive an infection, our body must recognize and respond to invading pathogens. This is the job of the immune system. When the first few immune cells encounter a pathogen, especially one that they haven’t seen before, they start releasing #cytokines like #interleukin-1 (IL-1).

    These cytokines are the messengers of the immune system. They race through the body via the bloodstream, summoning immune troops to push back the invading pathogen.

    When they reach the central nervous system, cytokines must cross the #blood-#brain #barrier to alert and recruit a brain response. The blood-brain barrier has only a handful of entry points, called #circumventricular #organs, where traffic can pass between the central nervous system and the bloodstream with relative ease.

    One of these sits at the base of the #hypothalamus in a structure called the #Vascular #Organ of the #Lamina #Terminalis (VOLT for short). The #VOLT is filled with receptors that detect IL-1 and other cytokines.

    That, along with its proximity to our #homeostat hypothalamus, means it’s positioned perfectly to sense an ongoing immune response and initiate our brain and body’s many defensive tactics.

    After receiving signals from the VOLT, the hypothalamus creates many of the familiar experiences of sickness

  22. 4/9 #EhlersDanlosSyndrome complicates things. I have the #hypermobile type, but my bruising and bleeding severity is more along the lines of the #vascular type. We opted for a procedure that doesn’t involve general anesthesia, because the risks and complications involved in that are huge. Some patients and OBGYNs jump straight to radical hysterectomy in cases like mine, but in addition to the anesthesia, there’d be extra surgical reconstruction to worry about given the risk of prolapse.

  23. Researchers are using a natural material derived from #seaweed to promote #vascular #cell growth, prevent #blood #clots and improve the performance of synthetic vascular #grafts used in heart #bypass #surgery.

  24. Check out our recent paper on #vascular cell apoptotic vulnerabilities to #cancer therapeutics, including #radiotherapy, #chemotherapy and targeted agents (e.g. #proteasome inhibitors, #BH3mimetics). We find that #EndothelialCells remain primed for #apoptosis throughout development into adulthood and may represent a “weakest link” vulnerability in multiple tissues for development of toxicities. science.org/doi/full/10.1126/s
