Bel Marra Health covers a new study led by Leandro Campos de Brito, Ph.D., that suggests it’s better to exercise in the evening in terms of short-term control of blood pressure among older adults.

In an OHSU News story about a landmark $16.4 million grant from the National Institute of Mental Health to the OHSU Center for Mental Health Innovation, Bonnie Nagel, Ph.D., says, “We consider this a formative grant in achieving the mission of the center, which is to advance scientific discoveries in mental health and rapidly translate those into real-world practices.”

Joshua Moreau, Ph.D., earns the Young Investigator Award from the Melanoma Research Alliance and Cancer Health shares the announcement.

As part of Mother’s Day recognition, KPTV-TV’s Surprise Squad recognizes OHSU Neonatal Intensive Care Nurse Colleen Savelsbergh, RN, who says, “I love my job, so I just get so much out of it. I feel like I’m here helping other families and it just brings tears to my eyes to see how well they do — it’s the best part of my job.”

In a Health Central article on the use of the visual-evoked potential test for multiple sclerosis-related vision loss, Vijayshree Yadav, M.D., says: "VEP was used in the past, but the role of it is not needed much nowadays. It’s mostly used for research purposes, though it may be ordered in practice if a clinician is unsure if symptoms are coming from MS or another cause."

GenomeWeb quotes Andrew Adey, Ph.D., in a story about a new method for single-cell sequencing. He says, “The single-cell Hi-C space has lagged behind in some sense because interoperability of data is challenging. That’s where these coassays are valuable, particularly if they root their analysis in RNA.”

A story in Health Central notes that muscle weakness caused by multiple sclerosis can lead to problems with lung function, swallowing and related issues. Vijayshree Yadav, M.D., says, “Any time we suspect a patient’s breathing is compromised, we recommend a lung function test, which is a standardized test done at a pulmonary clinic.”
