Head Injuries May Reactivate Brain Viruses, Triggering Alzheimer's: Lab Study
Laboratory research suggests that head injuries may reactivate dormant herpes viruses (like HSV-1) in the brain, triggering inflammation and potentially leading to Alzheimer's disease, due to beta-amyloid plaque buildup and tau protein formation; this was demonstrated in a model brain.

Santa Ana Winds Fuel Southern California Wildfires
Santa Ana winds, strong and dry, originate inland and blow toward the Southern California coast during cooler months, significantly increasing wildfire risk as seen in current Los Angeles County fires; these winds are caused by high-pressure systems over the Great Basin, resulting in heated, dry air...
