Considerations for Psychological Debriefing in the Context of Prolonged Disaster Response.

First responders face greater exposure to potentially traumatic events compared with the general public, which can lead to an increased likelihood of developing mental health concerns. The challenges of disaster relief take a physical and mental toll on first responders. Critical incident stress debriefing (CISD), the widely accepted gold-standard treatment for psychological debriefing, is often applied to offset this toll among first responders.

Factors associated with outcome in foals with neonatal isoerythrolysis (72 cases, 1988-2003).

Background: Neonatal foals with isoerythrolysis (NI) often die, but the risk factors for death have not been identified.

Objectives: To identify factors associated with outcome in foals with NI and to identify factors associated with death from liver failure or kernicterus in the same population.

Animals: Seventy-two foals with NI examined at referral institutions.

The ability of the foal to prevent infection by most pathogens is the result of a sophisticated set of defense mechanisms.
