"The main mechanism through which patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) acquire disability is progression independent of relapse activity (PIRA).1-3 The pathogenic processes underlying PIRA are strongly associated with chronic inflammation and neurodegeneration.4,5 However, PIRA events may also be preceded by acute inflammatory activity, as indicated by the presence of new or enlarging T2 lesions on MRI in up to 50% of cases.3 Preventing PIRA from occurring in the first place—by targeting the processes that ultimately drive it—therefore appears crucial for limiting long-term disability."

"For aging men, worrying about prostate health can start to feel like a real … well, you know.

But as Dr. Leonard Appleman of Fox Chapel — the director of genitourinary cancer disease at UPMC Hillman Cancer Center who carries 25 years of field experience— explains, there are plenty of reasons to unclench when it comes to the anxiety-inducing subject."

"Nerve compression can cause pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness that changes depending on how you sit, stand, or move. Many people struggle with symptoms that come and go, yet traditional MRI scans fail to show a clear cause because the images are taken while lying flat. When pressure is removed from the spine, the problem often disappears from the scan."

A positional MRI shows the spine in sitting, standing, and bending positions, revealing nerve compression that traditional lying down MRIs often miss for clearer diagnosis.

"When a person goes into deep sleep, water-like fluid circulates around the brain, washing away metabolic waste linked to diseases such as Alzheimer’s. This process, known as the glymphatic system, was first described in 2012 by Maiken Nedergaard—a pioneering neuroscientist and codirector of the University of Rochester’s Center for Translational Neuromedicine."

"Schizophrenia is occasionally associated with a higher risk of aggressive behavior, but the physical brain differences linked to this trait have remained poorly understood. A new analysis of thousands of brain scans reveals that reduced brain volume and deteriorated nerve pathways are associated with higher rates of aggression in psychotic patients. The findings were published in the journal Molecular Psychiatry."

A massive analysis of brain scans suggests that reduced gray matter volume and white matter integrity mediate aggressive behavior in patients with schizophrenia, providing new insights into the biology of violence.

"Spine pain can feel confusing when symptoms appear only while standing, sitting, or moving. Many people go through traditional MRI scans and still do not get clear answers because the images are taken while lying flat. This position often removes the pressure that causes real symptoms. A weight bearing MRI gives a more natural view of your spine by capturing images while your body is upright or partially upright."

"If you’re a generally healthy adult under 50, a stroke probably isn’t high on your list of worries. But recent data suggests it should be on more people’s radar.

Strokes in younger adults are rising, and researchers have found the incidence of stroke has increased by as much as 15.7% among adults ages 18–44 and 45–64 over the past decade.

Strokes aren’t just a concern for older adults—rates are rising among people under 50. Learn what’s behind the trend and the simple, proven steps that can lower your risk.

"Many people dread MRI appointments because of the discomfort, noise, or sense of confinement inside the traditional scanner. For patients with claustrophobia, mobility issues, or chronic pain, lying flat in a small tunnel for an extended time can be stressful or even unbearable. That’s where upright MRI technology changes the experience. It offers a more open, flexible, and comfortable approach to medical imaging without sacrificing image quality. This article explains how an upright MRI provides comfort, accessibility, and reliable results for patients who find conventional MRIs difficult."
