Stony Brook University is among the best 100 hospitals for cardiac care.

Christopher Christodoulou, clinical and research neuropsychologist at Stony Brook Medicine’s Center of Excellence for Alzheimer’s Disease, said caring for a loved one with Alzheimer’s can be both rewarding and challenging. He offers tips to help caregivers maintain their health and prevent burnout.

The long COVID report was also encouraging, said Sean Clouston, an associate professor of public health at Stony Brook University, because it found that symptoms don’t “seem to stay for everyone as long. For some people it goes away over time.”

However, EG.5 is likely more transmissible than other XBB variants, Dr. Sharon Nachman, chief of the division of pediatric infectious diseases at Stony Brook Children’s Hospital, tells TODAY.com.

Stony Brook University is planning to open the first and only dedicated tick clinic in the northeast on Monday. Supported by doctors from Stony Brook Medicine’s Meeting House Lane Medical Practice and Stony Brook Children’s Hospital, the new regional tick-borne disease center, which is located in the Hampton Bays Atrium, will provide by-appointment treatment for children and adults for tick bites and diagnose tick-borne illnesses.

On Tuesday, a shark was sighted near Breezy Point, Queens, about a mile-and-a-half west of where the woman had been attacked. Also on Tuesday, much of Jones Beach, about 12 miles east of where the woman had been bitten, was closed to swimming due to at least two shark sightings. Stony Brook University’s Christopher Paparo weighs in about sharks behavior.

Subvariant numbers also aren’t complete, because so few COVID-19 samples undergo genomic sequencing, said Dr. Sharon Nachman, chief of pediatric infectious diseases at Stony Brook Medicine. Genomic sequencing is how scientists determine which subvariants are infecting people.

Most recently the associate lab director for fundamental physics and chief research officer at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, Hewett brings extensive experience in theoretical physics to BNL and Stony Brook University, where she serves as Professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy and Professor at the C.N. Yang Institute for Theoretical Physics.
