Dr. Hsuan (Tina) Chou, PhD, Senior Biomarker Scientist at Owlstone Medical, tells us about the changes in breath composition in ultramarathon runners in her recently published paper in the Journal of Breath Research. 🏃♂️ Moderate exercise can have many positive impacts on human health, however increasing the intensity beyond a reasonable level may result in lung injury. Lung injury can be studied by analyzing VOC metabolites in exhaled breath, which can represent physiological processes from the respiratory tract as well as those originating from deeper in the body🌬️.

Here's something that might "blue" your mind. Our research extends beyond the brain and immune effects. We're also interested in anti-viral research to minimize the chances of people falling sick. Since 2013, we have provided blue light devices and collaborated on research with Harvard Medical School for anti-pathogenic research 👨🔬 Our blue light technology is featured in 3 published anti-microbial studies conducted by researchers at Harvard Medical School: https://lnkd.in/ghvwjSkA The nasal cavity hosts major pathogens, making it an ideal defensive location as an entryway into the human body. Our MIP device features similar blue light technology 🐳 Check out the MIP here: https://lnkd.in/gUNV9Y_K

New Research Alert! A study investigated the relationship between the sciatic nerve and the piriformis muscle using 800 cadaver specimens. It is found that in 92% of cases, the nerve exits below the muscle. Unilateral differences were more common on the left side (11%) than the right (6%). Understanding these connections is crucial for diagnosing hip and buttock pain. The research provides valuable insights for clinicians managing conditions related to sciatic nerve entrapment.

What is going on in our brain and body when we interact in relationships? How do Bowen theory and Polyvagal theory help us understand better about the way people function in relationships? As stated by Victoria Harrison, "Bowen theory provides a framework for using [Polyvagal Theory], along with other research in physiology to study the influence of the family system over self-regulation, symptoms and health." Learn more at our upcoming conference in April! https://lnkd.in/gvYd7R9G

Blood–brain barrier: A physical and biochemical boundary between the bloodstream and the parenchyma of the central nervous system (CNS). Composed of tightly bound vascular endothelial cells, surrounded by a basement membrane, and supported by astrocytes, pericytes, and microglia, the blood–brain barrier shields the CNS from viruses, bacteria, and neurotoxins. It also controls the movement of ions, molecules, and cells between blood and the CNS. The blood–brain barrier prevents 98% of small-molecule drugs and 100% of large-molecule drugs from entering the CNS through the bloodstream. To learn more about this concept, read “Sounding Out the Blood–Brain Barrier” by Kullervo Hynynen, Ph.D., from Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre and University of Toronto: https://nej.md/41Jxg2V
