A coma, like any brain injury, is very complex. And if you've watched classics like "While You Were Sleeping" or "Just Like Heaven," it can be even harder to truly understand what goes on during the state of unconsciousness. In television and film, comas are usually depicted as a sort of temporary deep sleep. But what actually happens to the brain during a coma is still not fully understood by the medical community.

If you’ve spent much of your life trying to get a grip on your emotions through therapy sessions, self-help books, medications, what have you, you can probably relate to Pixar’s new movie, Inside Out 2, which takes a deep dive into how anxiety and other emotions can make life a little messy sometimes.

If you endure hellish pain when your period rolls around, it’s (understandably!) hard to think about anything but the agony your body is going through. But you’re, unfortunately, not alone in this: More than half of people who get periods deal with menstrual pain, which can become so intense that it prevents them from doing their usual activities. And the general vibe from society—say, a demanding boss, a clueless classmate, a dismissive doctor—seems to be that this is just life with a uterus.

Growing up in Southwest Virginia, I heard adults say that the same people who welcomed Jesus on Palm Sunday were shouting "Crucify Him" less than a week later. We don't know if they were the same individuals, but the principal makes a point that unfortunately, General Hospital actress Tabyana Ali is experiencing.

BOSTON - There currently is no cure for Parkinson's disease, but scientists may have discovered a potential path to slow or stop the disease.Parkinson's disease is a brain disorder that can cause movement problems such as tremors, poor balance, and walking difficulties, and it can also impair cognitive function.  There is no cure and treatments aim to simply reduce symptoms. But a new study in mice by researchers at Johns Hopkins offers new hope.  They found that the interaction of two proteins is key to the buildup of protein clumps in the brain that damage healthy brain cells in Parkinson's. They also suggest that disrupting these proteins with a drug already approved by the FDA to treat cancer could potentially slow or stop the brain damage associated with Parkinson's.  The next step would be to conduct clinical trials in humans, but that will take time.

One of the most enriching parts of being queer for me is having the privilege to celebrate my identity, connect with my community, and embrace queer joy. Music is a great way to welcome and feel this happiness. 2024 is being a big year for LGBTQ+ musicians: Miley Cyrus, Billie Eilish, Boygenuis, and Victoria Monét won major awards at the 2024 Grammys, and Reneé Rapp and Chappell Roan’s sets at Coachella were iconic. (When Rapp was introduced by the cast of The L Word, I almost died.) It’s definitely the year of the lesbian pop girlies.

After receiving a bone marrow transplant and stem cell donation from her sister, Cali Cole is now several years post-transplant with no complications. Today is World Sickle Cell Disease Day. The international awareness day is observed annually to increase public knowledge and an understanding of sickle cell disease and the challenges experienced by patients, their families, and caregivers. According to the CDC, Sickle cell disease (SCD) affects about 100,000 people in the United States; more than 90% are non-Hispanic Black or African Americans. The estimated life expectancy of those with SCD in the United States is more than 20 years shorter than the average expected. Sickle cell disease is an inherited blood disorder that affects red blood cells. People with sickle cell disease have red blood cells that contain mostly hemoglobin S, an abnormal type of hemoglobin.
