Medical Notes: Why You Should Keep a Dream Journal, How Music Moves Our Cells, and How Fashion Is Helping the Visually Impaired

Are you living in a dream world?

Studies show that around 40% of working people can recall their dreams the next morning, and new research suggests that this may increase productivity during the day. The work, published in the Academy of Management Journal, shows a positive link between our dreams and our outlook on the rest of our day. Dreams can elicit feelings of awe, which can make any inconvenience seem insignificant instead of annoying (University of Notre Dame).

Music moves the soul, but what about our cells?

Scientists are working on technology that can produce and release insulin from inside the body. They use artificial cells that are implanted in a patient, but in order to control when and how much insulin is released, scientists are using music as the trigger. The work, which is published in The Lancet, reveals that rock songs, like “We Will Rock You” worked the best when researched in mice (ETH Zurich).

Up to 20% of organ transplant patients will experience at least one episode of rejection

And though our current medications work well, they can destroy the immune system. A new, less toxic drug has just been approved for clinical trials following the recent publication of a study in Science Translational Medicine. The lab-made protein acts like an antibody and minimizes the risk of blood clots. When used after a kidney transplant in primates, the drug prevented rejection without harming the patient’s immune system (Duke University).

Can your clothes tell you where to go?

Researchers have created wearable technology that uses vibration, tapping, and squeezing to communicate. In an experiment published in the journal Device, participants wore a belt that directed them through a mile-long route using these cues. This approach to navigational technology doesn’t add to the auditory and visual overstimulation we often experience (Rice University).
