Perilesional neuromodulation replaces lost sensorimotor function in persons with spinal cord injury
Abstract Spinal cord injury (SCI) results in permanent impairment of sensory, motor and autonomic function. Epidural electrical stimulation (EES) applied below the lesion can restore voluntary movement, autonomic function and locomotion following chronic SCI. However, impaired sensation below the SCI does not improve during the application of sublesional EES.
Revealed: the property empires that make Charles and William millions
The ancient property empires that fund the King and the Prince of Wales have remained a closely guarded secret within the royal family and its small circle of advisers for centuries. Even parliament has been denied access to the list of landholdings held by the royals.
An active electronic, high-density epidural paddle array for chronic spinal cord neuromodulation
Abstract Objective: Epidural electrical stimulation (EES) has shown promise as both a clinical therapy and research tool for studying nervous system function. However, available clinical EES paddles are limited to using a small number of contacts due to the burden of wires necessary to connect each contact to the therapeutic delivery device, limiting the treatment area or density of epidural electrode arrays. We aimed to eliminate this burden using advanced on-paddle electronics.
An active electronic bidirectional interface for high resolution interrogation of the spinal cord
Abstract Epidural electrical stimulation (EES) has shown promise as both a clinical therapeutic tool and research aid in the study of nervous system function. However, available clinical paddles are limited to using a small number of contacts due to the burden of wires necessary to connect each contact to the implantable pulse generator (IPG) or recording device. Here, we integrate a hermetic active electronic multiplexer onto the electrode paddle array, removing the interconnect limitation.

In a major speech in New York on Tuesday, the Home Secretary said Western powers must help would-be migrants to “stay and thrive at home” in order to stem the international migration crisis. Answering questions afterwards, he said there could be “large-scale” migration to Europe from Africa, the sub-continent and as they
Senior Welsh Government Minister Used ‘Disappearing Messages’ During Pandemic - The Independent
A Welsh government minister used “disappearing messages” during the pandemic, an inquiry has heard. Vaughan Gething, one of the most senior members of the Welsh Labour Government and the former health minister, used a feature that automatically deleted WhatsApp messages after a set period of time.

What really was happening in the Wuhan lab weeks before COVID erupted
Scientists in Wuhan working alongside the Chinese military were combining the world’s most deadly coronaviruses to create a new mutant virus just as the pandemic began. Investigators who scrutinised top-secret intercepted communications and scientific research believe Chinese scientists were running a covert project of dangerous experiments, which caused a leak from the Wuhan Institute of Virology and started the Covid-19 outbreak.
Hacked evidence and stolen data swamp English courts

The emirate chose Tomlinson to litigate the case and the barrister quoted directly from Azima’s stolen emails in a high court claim filed on behalf of his client in September 2016. The claim alleged that Azima had defrauded the investment authority. Almost instantly, Azima issued a counterclaim in the US, accusing Ras al Khaimah of orchestrating the hacking of his personal data. The two cases would take years to work their way through the courts.

As the Lock Rattles
When I had Covid, at the end of March last year, I spent a week in bed with an intermittent fever and a strong feeling that my body was dealing with something unfamiliar. I was lucky: it turned out to be the ‘mild to moderate’ version of Covid. But it wasn’t much fun. I had the semi-delirious sense that my body knew it was dealing with a new illness. I would feel OK and then not OK, in waves.
