This select overview examines the important intersection of adult domestic violence, including intimate partner violence and elder abuse, with brain injury. Despite the high prevalence of domestic violence amongst brain injury patients, there is a notable gap in screening and management training for providers. To provide optimal patient care, brain injury medicine clinicians must screen, recognize, and treat patients who have experienced domestic violence.

COVID-19 vaccination and acute infection result in cellular and humoral immune responses with various degrees of protection. While most studies have addressed the difference in humoral response between vaccination and acute infection, studies on the cellular response are scarce. We aimed to evaluate differences in immune response among vaccinated patients versus those who had recovered from COVID-19.

Composite coatings containing reduced graphene oxide (rGO) and 3-(aminopropyl)triethoxysilane functionalised rGO (APTES-rGO) were prepared by sol-gel technology and deposited on Al 2024 T-3. Covalent functionalisation of GO by APTES occurred by formation of amide bonds, accompanied by GO reduction. The thin sheets were retained.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study investigates the vertebral morphology of grass carp, focusing on the anatomical structure of their vertebral centrum, which is crucial for understanding vertebrate development.
  • - High-resolution micro-CT scans of three abdominal vertebrae revealed that grass carp vertebrae have an amphicoelous shape and show bilateral symmetry, although the caudal aspect is larger and more robust, suggesting possible adaptations related to swimming.
  • - The research raises questions about whether the observed vertebral characteristics are influenced by genetics or environmental factors, and proposes future studies to explore these aspects in both aquatic and terrestrial vertebrates.
