Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy.

This article focuses on neuropathologic diagnostic criteria for chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) and consensus research diagnostic criteria for traumatic encephalopathy syndrome (TES). CTE as a tauopathy has a unique pattern for diagnosis and differs from other neurodegenerative diseases. We discuss the history, neuropathology, and mechanism of CTE as well as the preliminary reasearch diagnostic criteria for TES, which is the proposed clinical presentation of suspected CTE.

Neurorehabilitation for Adults with Brain and Spine Tumors.

Central nervous system (CNS) malignancies (i.e. brain and spine tumors) and their treatments can result in a multitude of neurologic deficits.

A Field Survey of Syrphid Species and Adult Densities on Annual Flowering Plants in the Northeastern United States.

With the long-term goal of exploring the viability of conservation biological control of cabbage aphid Brevicoryne brassicae (L.) (Hemiptera: Aphididae) in the northeastern United States, adult syrphid flies (Diptera: Syrphidae) were observed on several species of annual insectary plants at farm sites in Connecticut, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire. Insectary plant species included alyssum, Lobularia maritima (L.

Transmission of Bias in the Medical Record Among Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Trainees.

An online survey was created to assess whether stigmatizing language can impact physical medicine and rehabilitation trainees' attitudes toward patients. We hypothesized stigmatizing language would negatively impact trainees' attitudes.
