I've put some stuff on predicting outcomes of head injury in children, on my site: bit.ly/ReadingTeaLeaves , + prognostication in general.

bit.ly/SimplyNuts reduce stroke with extra virgin olive oil 1 litre per week and/or 30g mixed nuts a day. Surprisingly reduces BP.

Holiday in Turkey = 4) being a nerd, reading up on recent research papers, writing stuff at 23 degrees, sunshine, sea and Mount Olympos.

On holiday in Turkey = 2) catching up with Daniel Kahneman's "Thinking Fast and Slow". "Thinking" = lazy, usually wrong "gut instinct".

On holiday in Turkey = 1) catching up with reading late outcomes of prefrontal brain injury in young children.bit.ly/EBIFrontalLobes

Persistent neonatal encephalopathy +burst-suppression, not NKH. It's time for the pyridoxal + biotin + folinic acid + thiamine combo again.

This one came up on my blind side: "Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing". How do eye movements reduce the memory of nasty events?

Done some reading on long-term outcomes of early brain injury involving the frontal lobes. A readable one is bit.ly/FrontalLobeKids

Settled on a stepped wedge, non-randomised design for pilot telemedicine project. Not sure how to analyse results of a stepped wedge method.

Seeing if I can get off my on-call to go on a jolly to Duesseldorf in May. Work-related honest guv, to do with deep brain stimulation.

Checking out the general behavioural phenotype of MC4R gene early obesity syndrome: is there general hyperactivity not just overeating?

Checking out impairments after infantile ependymoma, related to high dose radiotherapy vs those aspects related to "aggressive" surgery.

It's been a cerebellar fortnight. Did I tweet about Gomez-Lopez-Hernandez syndrome recently? Looked up if facial lymphoedema associated.

Interesting one: Sjoegren's serology, sensory neuropathy (+some motor), no keratoconjunctivitis sicca but has thrombocytopoenic purpura.

bit.ly/NotBoringReally is our work on decision analysis tool in posterior fossa tumour surgery complications. It's not dull, honest.

Reversible encephalopathy syndrome with intractable seizures+hypertension+RASopathy. Renal artery stenosis?

Carney complex and idiopathic intracranial hypertension. Confusing literature on role of Cushing's disease and IIH - occurs after treatment?

Looked up Carnitine Palmitoyl Transferase 2 deficiency in setting of pain after prolonged aerobic exercise. Why does it come on with age?

The theme this week has been mostly about ataxia in young children. Actually we've almost finished a 2 year study of ataxia - coming soon...

Rhomboencephalosynapsis or Gomez-Lopez-Hernandez syndrome. Another cerebellar vermian disorder. Checking out if epilepsy is a problem.
