Comparative Analysis of Injury and Illness Rates Among Team USA Athletes at the Tokyo 2020 Summer Olympic and Paralympic Games.

Background: Previous research has reported higher rates of both injury and illness among Paralympic athletes compared with Olympic athletes during the Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games, but no studies have directly compared injury and illness incidence between Olympic and Paralympic athletes competing in a Summer Games.

Purpose: To compare injury and illness rates between Olympic and Paralympic Team USA athletes competing in the Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

Study Design: Descriptive epidemiology study.

Impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on access to sexual and reproductive health services for women and gender-diverse people with disabilities in Canada: a qualitative study.

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a detrimental impact on sexual and reproductive health (SRH) and rights globally. However, little is known about the experiences of people with disabilities accessing SRH services during the COVID-19 pandemic. In this community-engaged qualitative study, we examined COVID-related impacts on access to SRH services for people with disabilities.

The growth of microcrystals for time resolved serial crystallography.

The production of enzyme microcrystals for time resolved serial crystallography employing free electron laser or synchrotron radiation is a relatively new variation on traditional macromolecular crystallization for conventional single crystal X-ray analysis. While the fundamentals of macromolecular crystal growth are the same, some modifications and special considerations are in order if the objective is to produce uniform size, microcrystals in very large numbers for serial data collection. Presented here are the basic principles of protein crystal growth with particular attention to the approaches best employed to achieve the goal of microcrystals and some novel techniques, as well as old, that may be useful.

The Regional Palliative Medicine (RPMG) Assisted Dying Survey 2024.

Assisted Dying (AD), the ending of a person's life pre-emptively under a legal criterion is widely debated, both in the United Kingdom (UK) and Ireland. The expectation is often those doctors closest to dying would be both the proponents and facilitators of this action. A survey of Palliative Medicine in Northern Ireland (NI) on this topic has never been previously undertaken.
