Purpose Of Review: Neuroprognostication after acute brain injury (ABI) is complex. In this review, we examine the threats to accurate neuroprognostication, discuss strategies to mitigate the self-fulfilling prophecy, and how to approach the indeterminate prognosis.
Recent Findings: The goal of neuroprognostication is to provide a timely and accurate prediction of a patient's neurologic outcome so treatment can proceed in accordance with a patient's values and preferences.
Background: The study of ADHD has predominantly focused on individual-level risk-factors, and less is known about contextual factors that promote adaptive functioning.
Aims: The present study is the first to evaluate the longitudinal association between five dimensions of school climate (academic expectations, student engagement, disciplinary structure, respect for students, willingness to seek help) and student outcomes, and whether ADHD symptom severity moderates those associations.
Methods And Procedures: Participants included 274 adolescents (45 % female) who completed assessments in 8th (T1) and 10th (T2) grades.
Objective: Hydroxychloroquine paired with Azithromycin, Vitamin C, Vitamin D, and Zinc (HAZDPac), was used as a multidrug therapy method to treat COVID-19 illness and superimposed secondary bacterial pneumonia. Concerns have been raised though about such combinations regarding cardiac QTc interval prolongation and risks of arrhythmias, which we set out to address in this study.
Design: We evaluated cardiac safety in a Phase II Double-Blind Randomized Placebo-Controlled Trial of Combination Therapy to Treat COVID-19 Infections study, conducted by ProgenaBiome.
Objective: As a result of the coronavirus pandemic, mental health professionals have faced the challenge of helping their clients cope with pandemic-related distress on top of ongoing therapeutic issues. This article describes a telehealth-delivered peer/mutual support program for mental health professionals during the pandemic and the key themes identified by participants.
Method: An interdivisional American Psychological Association task force formed a working group to identify practical ways to provide mental health professionals with direct support during the pandemic.
Article Synopsis
- - A recent study highlights that adults who started smoking cigarettes before age 15 are at a significantly higher risk for COPD compared to those who began at 15 or older, regardless of their current smoking habits or exposure to second-hand smoke.
- - In the analysis involving U.S. adults aged 40 and older, 13.4% reported having COPD, with prevalence rates of 29.0% for those who started smoking before 15 and 21.1% for those who started at 15 or older.
- - The research indicates that those who began smoking early not only had a higher prevalence of COPD but also showed greater intensity in smoking behaviors, highlighting the long-term health risks associated with childhood smoking initiation.
