Inconsistent instructions may cause too-shallow nasal swabs
There are wide discrepancies in instructions for how deeply the nasopharyngeal swabs used to test for COVID-19 are to be inserted up Canadian noses, new research from Western University and Lawson Health Research Institute has found.
As an otolaryngologist Dr. Leigh Sowerby is an expert in the anatomy of the head, neck and inside of the nose. Using that expertise, he and his colleagues examined the COVID-19 testing instructions provided by provincial and territorial authorities, and found wide variations. They reported their findings in the Journal of Otolaryngology – Head & Neck Surgery.

LONDON, ON - Neurofeedback, also called brain training, consists of exercises where individuals regulate their own brain activity. In a new study from Lawson Health Research Institute and Western University, researchers have found that neurofeedback may be an effective treatment for individuals with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Published in
NeuroImage: Clinical, the clinical trial found that neurofeedback was effective in reducing symptoms of PTSD. Brain connectivity involves different parts of the brain communicating with each other and helps to regulate states of consciousness, thought, mood and emotion, explains Dr. Ruth Lanius, scientist at Lawson, professor at Western s Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry and psychiatrist at London Health Sciences Centre. Individuals with PTSD tend to have disrupted patterns of brain connectivity, but our research suggests they can exercise their brains to restore patterns to a healthy balance.
