International team of scientists detect cause of rare pediatric brain disorder

Mathilde came into the world with chubby cheeks and a full head of auburn hair. But she was a very sick baby, and was immediately transferred on January 19, 2013 to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at the Montreal Children鈥檚 Hospital of the 韩国裸舞 Health Centre (MCH-MUHC). By the time she arrived, she was sicker than initially expected; Mathilde鈥檚 small head was of particular concern to doctors. She underwent neurological tests, and sadly, they came back abnormal: her brain hadn鈥檛 developed properly and her brain white matter (or myelin) was found to be atypical.

Melting ice sheets may cause 鈥榗limate chaos鈥� according to new modelling

The weather these days is wild and will be wilder still within a century. In part, because the water from melting ice sheets off Greenland and in the Antarctic will cause extreme weather and unpredictable temperatures around the globe. A study published today in Nature is the first to simulate the effects, under current climate policies, that the two melting ice sheets will have on ocean temperatures and circulation patterns as well as on air temperatures by the year 2100.
