Had this article shared with me today: fortune.com/2025/02/11/ai-impa

I went through an array of #emotions. At first, I found it #awkward and #discomforting. I made jokes:

Wait, you mean people aren't thinking #critically and growing #cognitively because the #digitalization of the world is doing it for them....and it's making them (gasps) #dumber!!?? #AI is making it worse?? Is this #Idiocracy? 👀 😞 Am I being #punked right now!? Where's Ashton and the cameras! 📹

Then, I had a deep #selfrealization:

Jokes aside - This is a #sensitive topic for me. I talk about it in my closest circle too often. Unfortunately, I have a front seat to the steep cognitive #decline of some close #friends and #family members for years now, and it makes me sad - not because of disease or "old age", simply because of too much screen time and no new cognitive #stimulation. I see too many people purposefully avoiding nearly anything #cerebral, if they even approach them at all. I have many days where I wish the #Internet didn't exist - for a multitude of reasons, but this is a big one. I'm not trying to be "old fashioned" or #sarcastic, I'm just #disappointed in how we #humanz have grown to depend on #technology as a #crutch, rather than using it as the #tool it was invented to be. As the article eludes to, these technologies are supposed to #complement human #evolution, not #supplement it.

Que Internet (esta Internet) te pudre el puto cerebro es algo que, en el fondo, ya sabíamos. ¿O no? Esto es un poquito como el cáncer de pulmón y el tabaco, que SE SABE, pero, por lo que sea, quienes fumamos y/o consumimos contenidos de mierda escondemos bajo la alfombra cotidianamente. Va a ser cuestión de ir pensando en dejarlo, amics. ¿Por qué no?

#CÉRÉBRAL ___ Le terme "cérébral" est péjoratif dans la plupart des usages; il contient l'intention de blesser celui dont on insinue qu'il s'adonne à des calculs menaçants à l'écart des émois du monde. Pourtant, tous les cérébraux que j'ai rencontrés font preuve, au contraire, d'une sensibilité exacerbée, d'une fragilité, d'une soif du ...

#Outcomes of #COVID19 & #Influenza in #Cerebral #Palsy Patients Hospitalized in #USA: Comparative Study of a Nationwide Database mdpi.com/1999-4915/16/8/1284

COVID-19 substantially increases the health burden for hospitalized CP patients compared to influenza, as evidenced by higher mortality rates, longer hospital stays, and increased costs. These findings highlight the urgent need for tailored strategies to effectively manage and reduce the impact of COVID-19 on this high-risk group.

MDPIOutcomes of COVID-19 and Influenza in Cerebral Palsy Patients Hospitalized in the United States: Comparative Study of a Nationwide DatabasePatients with cerebral palsy (CP) are particularly vulnerable to respiratory infections, yet comparative outcomes between COVID-19 and influenza in this population remain underexplored. Using the National Inpatient Sample from 2020–2021, we performed a retrospective analysis of hospital data for adults with CP diagnosed with either COVID-19 or influenza. The study aimed to compare the outcomes of these infections to provide insights into their impact on this vulnerable population. We assessed in-hospital mortality, complications, length of stay (LOS), hospitalization costs, and discharge dispositions. Multivariable logistic regression and propensity score matching were used to adjust for confounders, enhancing the analytical rigor of our study. The study cohort comprised 12,025 patients—10,560 with COVID-19 and 1465 with influenza. COVID-19 patients with CP had a higher in-hospital mortality rate (10.8% vs. 3.1%, p = 0.001), with an adjusted odds ratio of 3.2 (95% CI: 1.6–6.4). They also experienced an extended LOS by an average of 2.7 days. COVID-19 substantially increases the health burden for hospitalized CP patients compared to influenza, as evidenced by higher mortality rates, longer hospital stays, and increased costs. These findings highlight the urgent need for tailored strategies to effectively manage and reduce the impact of COVID-19 on this high-risk group.

Startling Findings – New Study Indicates That Brain Hemorrhage Risk Can Be Transmitted Through Blood Transfusions
A new study indicates that factors causing spontaneous brain hemorrhages might be transmitted through blood transfusions, but the risk is very low. The research further supports the hypothesis that cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) could be spread between individuals.
