At the Canadian Concussion Centre, we treated 136 patients from 2000 to 2020 who sustained concussion plus persisting concussion symptoms (C+PCS) as motor vehicle occupants involved in motor vehicle crashes (MVCs). This center specializes in the treatment of patients with C+PCS. The objective of the present study was to identify strategies for preventing concussion among vehicle occupants involved in MVC.

- Parasites have a negative impact on the health and reproductive success of muskoxen in the Arctic, particularly when combined with other stressors like limited food availability.
- A study of 141 muskoxen revealed that higher parasite loads correlated with poorer body condition and lower female reproductive rates, indicating that energy may be diverted from fighting parasites to reproduction.
- Severe weather events, like icing, intensified the effects of parasitism by restricting food access, leading to high mortality rates in the muskoxen population and highlighting the importance of understanding these ecological interactions.
