Differences in Volatile Organic Compounds Between Concussed and Non-concussed Division I Athletes.

Introduction Diagnosing a concussion is challenging because of complex and variable symptoms. Establishing a viable biomarker of injury may rely on physiologic measurements rather than symptomology. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) such as breath acetone have been identified as potential physiological markers that can capture changes in the utilization of energy substrates post-concussion.

Improvements in nutrition knowledge among adults with physical disabilities: A program evaluation of the mindfulness, exercise, and nutrition to optimize resilience (MENTOR) program 2020-2021.

Background: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) funds a quality improvement (QI) health promotion telewellness program for adults with physical disabilities.

Objective: The nutrition component of the parent program, Mindfulness, Exercise, and Nutrition to Optimize Resilience (MENTOR) program, from 2020 to 2021, was evaluated to assess changes in nutrition knowledge of people with physical disabilities.

Methods: This was a quasi-experimental program evaluation by pre-post survey of participating adults with physical disabilities.

Antioxidant Activities of Natural Compounds from Caribbean Plants to Enhance Diabetic Wound Healing.

Diabetic wound healing is a global medical challenge. Several studies showed that delayed healing in diabetic patients is multifactorial. Nevertheless, there is evidence that excessive production of ROS and impaired ROS detoxification in diabetes are the main cause of chronic wounds.

A multi-approach inventory of the blue carbon stocks of Posidonia oceanica seagrass meadows: Large scale application in Calvi Bay (Corsica, NW Mediterranean).

In Mediterranean, Posidonia oceanica develops a belowground complex structure ('matte') able to store large amounts of carbon over thousands of years. The inventory of blue carbon stocks requires the coupling of mapping techniques and in situ sediment sampling to assess the size and the variability of these stocks. This study aims to quantify the organic (C) and inorganic (C) carbon stocks in the P.
