Leading UK hospital in Cambridge under ‘rapid but thorough’ review | UK News

Published by Sam Flores

One of the country’s leading neuroscience units is under urgent review following concerns about the service. The neuroscience service at Addenbrooke’s Hospital in Cambridge helps treat complex brain injuries and head trauma cases. The hospital’s trust, Cambridge University Hospitals (CUH), took the unusual step of ordering a “rapid but thorough” review which will look at a “number of clinical teams”. The review will be independent and carried out by two official health bodies. Suspended surgeon It comes just months after Sky News revealed another investigation at the same hospital into a suspended orthopaedic paediatric surgeon. An independent review was ordered into Kuldeep Stohr last year after serious issues were found with some of her surgeries on children.

New research is leading to the possibility of preventing rheumatoid arthritis

New research is leading to the possibility of preventing rheumatoid arthritis

Published by Daniella Wilson

More than 18 million people worldwide suffer from rheumatoid arthritis, including nearly 1.5 million Americans. Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune, inflammatory form of arthritis, meaning a person’s immune system attacks their joints, causing substantial inflammation. This inflammation can cause pain, stiffness and swelling in the joints, and in many cases, patients report fatigue and a flu-like feeling. If left untreated, rheumatoid arthritis can lead to damage of the joints. But even when treated, this condition can lead to significant disability. In highly active disease or advanced stages, patients may have difficulty performing daily tasks, such as preparing food, caring for children and getting dressed. Up to now, this condition has been treated once patients have already developed symptoms. But a growing body of evidence suggests this disease can be identified earlier – and maybe even ultimately prevented. I’m a physician specializing in rheumatoid arthritis and a researcher who has conducted a clinical trial on treatments for this condition. I believe this research is moving us toward being able to identify people who are at risk …

Leading Through Uncertainty at Work

Leading Through Uncertainty at Work

Published by Jenni Sidey

Uncertainty has become the defining feature of today’s workplace—whether driven by economic shifts, organizational restructuring, rapid advances in artificial intelligence (AI), changing client expectations, or the constant re-prioritization that keeps teams on edge. This ambiguity doesn’t just create operational challenges; it erodes focus, fuels burnout, and chips away at trust. Leaders who understand the psychological impact of uncertainty can take intentional steps to create clarity, stability, and connection to reduce its toll. A recent study helps explain exactly why uncertainty is so psychologically taxing. A new meta-analysis synthesizing 76 fMRI studies shows that nine separate areas of the brain get activated in uncertain environments. Those nine brain areas make up both emotional pathways and cognitive pathways, and when all those areas fire, the brain has much less capacity for things like focus and sound decision-making. In fact, it leaves parts of your brain offline or unavailable, which may help explain why you might feel more brain fog, feel an inability to remember details or retain information, experience hesitancy when making decisions, or keep re-reading details …

Riding ‘Unbridled’ by the Leading of the Spirit

Riding ‘Unbridled’ by the Leading of the Spirit

Published by Sam Flores

By John Moore I make no claims of being a master horseman, just a fair-to-middlin’ badlands cowboy. But I know some real horsemen. Yet, I do have a disagreement with those who are much more knowledgeable friends, and that is the matter of the “bit.” For those of you who don’t know, bits come in many forms, shapes, sizes and functions. Most trainers begin with an O-Ring Snaffle and progress slowly through a series of mouthpieces – shanked snaffle, low-ported curb, grazing bit, and others – until they find a bit the horse seems to adapt to best. Or they adapt a horse to the ultimate bit, a Spanish spade – of which there are several varieties. My horses have always “told” me that they hate bits, and yet, I have been required to use them as a training tool.  The Law is our early bit. It jerks our head around when we want to go our own way. In other words, the Law “plow-reins”: us. Gradually, we learn to respond to the Spirit and …
