This study detected SARS-CoV-2 in the air of common areas of 4 big US airports. SARS-CoV-2 detected in 98% of samples through the year. Influenza A was found during flu season.
That’s why you want to wear an N95 respirator in an airport! And all indoor public spaces all year!

Early detection of outbreaks and emerging pathogens is critical for public health and global biosecurity. Airports, as major international travel hubs with dense, enclosed populations, are high-risk settings for disease transmission and potential pathogen introduction. The U.S. Centers for Disease C...

A study published in Science Advances found that cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow extends from the central nervous system into peripheral nerves, including the trigeminal nerve, spinal nerve roots, and sciatic nerve.

For Barral Institute practitioners, this research is especially relevant to Barral Manual Therapies that consider the relationships among nerves, connective tissues, fluid environments, and surrounding structures.The study provides valuable scientific context for viewing the nervous system as a more continuous and interconnected whole.

Research supports the benefits of CranioSacral Therapy for chronic low back pain.

In a randomized clinical trial, adults receiving 10 CST sessions over five weeks experienced improvements in pain, disability, depression, and quality of life. The CST group showed significantly greater improvements than sensorimotor training, with benefits continuing at the two-month follow-up.

The CST protocol was based on the work of John E. Upledger and Jon Vredevoogd, making the study directly relevant to Upledger CranioSacral Therapy.

The dura mater is the outermost layer of the meninges, that help to protect the brain and spinal cord.

As fascia that is continuous with nerves that leave the central nervous system, in a way, it also has threads throughout the body, making it an important structure to understand when studying CranioSacral Therapy.

By ensuring there is mobility and (albeit tiny amounts of) glide in this important layer of fascia, CST supports the whole nervous system which can help many different health issues in a way other modalities don’t always reach.

Understanding anatomy isn't just about learning names - it's about appreciating how different structures relate to one another, and how we can work with them.

In a new study from Mass General Brigham, Boston University (BU), and the Concussion & CTE Foundation, researchers found evidence that at least 1 in 4 former NFL players who died between 2016 and 2021 had chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) at the time of their death, a much higher prevalence compared to the general population.

“Community brain bank studies have shown that CTE affects less than 1% of the general population. To find that somewhere between 24.5% and 97.7% of NFL players from that time period had this progressive brain disease is a wake-up call for the NFL and scientific communities,” said lead and corresponding author Daniel Daneshvar, MD, PhD.

The study does not show that 1 in 4 current NFL players have CTE. The findings do underscore CTE as a serious health concern among former NFL players. Researchers note future studies should examine younger generations of athletes, and prevention efforts should focus on reducing the repetitive head impacts that drive CTE risk, not just concussions.

It's important to remember that many health issues can cause symptoms that look like neurodegenerative disease, and many of them are treatable.

Six years after the COVID-19 pandemic upended the world, experts in California say the disease appears to be becoming more of a summer rather than a winter phenomenon.

The shift was noted for the past couple of years and has become even clearer in 2026, prompting health officials to refocus their prevention efforts. The CDC says COVID-19 is growing or likely growing in 43 states, including California.
