UVA Health researchers are pioneering a new way to treat chronic pain that does not respond to medication. Their innovative approach will receive more than $5 million from the National Institutes of Health.

UVA School of Medicine method may help pinpoint brain seizures UVA Health (FILE) (Source: WVIR) By Andrew Webb | April 26, 2021 at 9:03 AM EDT - Updated April 26 at 9:03 AM CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (WVIR) - Huge advancements in how doctors treat epilepsy seizures are in the works at the University of Virginia. A new approach to advanced imaging of the brain may help doctors pin-point exactly where seizures are coming from. An enhanced form of positron-emission tomography, called parametric dynamic imaging, is creating four dimensional images of the brain. “Once that bad spot is located, ...

Date Time UVA Develops Imaging Approach to Help Stop Epilepsy Seizures An advanced imaging approach developed at the University of Virginia School of Medicine could let surgeons determine the best target in the brain to stop epilepsy seizures, new research suggests. UVA’s approach could improve patient outcomes and open underused surgical options to patients who are now ineligible, the research team reports. “This imaging approach is significant, as it creates 4-D brain maps that offer additional sensitivity over standard-of-care imaging by revealing rates of glucose uptake rather than fi...

  COLLINGWOOD, ONT. -- Health care teams in South Georgian Bay use a new monitoring program to keep close tabs on high-risk COVID-19 patients who have gone home. The program is a cooperative effort between the Collingwood General and Marine Hospital, the Georgian Bay Family Health Team and the London Health Sciences Centre to prevent the dangers of silent hypoxia in patients who tested positive for the virus. Silent hypoxia can occur when a patient's oxygen levels fall dangerously low. If not cared for, it can cause serious health complications, including respiratory failure. "Patients ...
