The FDA has approved Optune Pax, a first-of-its-kind, non-invasive device delivering Tumor Treating Fields (TTFields) for locally advanced pancreatic cancer. Portable, home-based therapy added to standard chemo improved overall survival in clinical trials.A shift toward decentralized oncology care.

New intracranial EEG data link hippocampal sharp-wave ripples to spontaneous human thought. Increased ripple activity correlated with vivid, visually imaginable, and intrusive cognition, and reduced external task focus. Findings expand the role of hippocampal replay beyond memory consolidation. πŸ§ πŸ”¬

Many promising small-scale clinical or research studies never get started.
Technical setup, multiple devices, and data management slow research down. What if you could start collecting high-quality, continuous data immediately? The best solution by Virgobit is coming soon. πŸ‘€
