Doctors are forecasting what some experts are now calling “the fourth wave” of the COVID-19 pandemic. Experts say the mental health impacts will be “profound and far-reaching,” likely outlasting the physical health impacts, and straining already-stretched mental health systems in the United States and worldwide.
While infections rage on in India and Brazil, case numbers in the U.S., Europe, and many other places have dropped dramatically and restrictions are lifting. But across the globe, many people are feeling lingering psychological effects from what has been a collective traumatic experience.
Study: Brain malformation traceable to genetic roots ANI | Updated: Jan 02, 2021 21:41 IST
Washington [US], January 2: A recent study has revealed that common brain malfunctions can be traced to their genetic roots. This discovery could help in aiding early screening and shed light on how Chiari malformation arises.
According to a study published in American Journal of Human Genetics about one in 100 children has a common brain disorder called Chiari 1 malformation, but most of the time such children grow up normally and no one suspects a problem. But in about one in 10 of those children, the condition causes headaches, neck pain, hearing, vision and balance disturbances, or other neurological symptoms.
Common brain malformation traced to its genetic roots: Study ANI | Updated: Dec 29, 2020 07:38 IST
Washington [US], December 29 (ANI): In new research, scientists at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have shown that Chiari 1 malformation (common brain disorder) can be caused by variations in two genes involved in brain development.
About one in 100 children has a common brain disorder called Chiari 1 malformation, but most of the time such children grow up normally and no one suspects a problem. But in about one in 10 of those children, the condition causes headaches, neck pain, hearing, vision and balance disturbances, or other neurological symptoms.

The lowest part of a child s brain is visible below the bottom of the skull in this MRI scan and shows evidence of a Chiari 1 malformation. Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have shown that Chiari 1 malformation can be caused by variations in two genes linked to brain development, and that children with large heads are at increased risk of developing the condition.
