Multi-session adaptation to audiovisual and sensorimotor biofeedback is heterogeneous among adolescents with cerebral palsy.

Background: There is growing interest in the use of biofeedback-augmented gait training in cerebral palsy (CP). Audiovisual, sensorimotor, and immersive biofeedback paradigms are commonly used to elicit short-term gait improvements; however, outcomes remain variable. Because biofeedback training requires that individuals have the capacity to both adapt their gait in response to feedback and retain improvements across sessions, changes in either capacity may affect outcomes.

Personality and social determinants of health predict adolescent comfort and honesty reporting sports-related concussion symptoms.

Proper diagnosis is essential in mitigating risk associated with sports-related concussion (SRC); however, 50% of SRCs remain undiagnosed due to unreported symptoms. The current study aimed to identify the clinically-relevant, attainable personality and social determinants of health variables that are associated with honesty and comfortability reporting symptoms in 317 adolescents ( = 17.8, SD = 0.

Development of a Competency-Based Veterinary Education Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Justice Domain.

A group of veterinary educators with diverse backgrounds and interests from five universities in the northeastern region of the United States convened in December 2020 to address challenges in diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice (DEIJ) in veterinary education. It was elected to develop a DEIJ-specific competency domain to supplement the nine domains previously described in the Competency-Based Veterinary Education framework. The domain that we created provides a detailed but flexible roadmap that can be used to guide curriculum-development initiatives that support learner development in DEIJ and, as a result, enhance their impact in working teams and the communities in which they will live and practice.

White matter lipid alterations during aging in the rhesus monkey brain.

The brain of higher organisms, such as nonhuman primates, is particularly rich in lipids, with a gray to white matter ratio of approximately 40 to 60%. White matter primarily consists of lipids, and during normal aging, it undergoes significant degeneration due to myelin pathology, which includes structural abnormalities, like sheath splitting, and local inflammation. Cognitive decline in normal aging, without neurodegenerative diseases, is strongly linked to myelin pathology.
