Multidisciplinary care for patients with persistent symptoms following concussion: a systematic review.

Purpose: To systematically characterize and assess the effectiveness of multidisciplinary care for patients with persistent post-concussion symptoms (PPCS).

Materials And Methods: Only studies describing multidisciplinary treatment, defined as intervention provided by no less than 2 healthcare disciplines, each with independent scopes of practice, for patients with PPCS were considered.

Results: A total of 8 of the 1357 studies identified were included.

Metagenome Sequences from Tidal Marsh and Marine Sediment from the Great Bay Estuary of New Hampshire.

Tidal marsh and estuarine marine microbial sediment metagenomes from the Great Bay Estuary of New Hampshire were sequenced and found to be dominated by , , , and Both types of sediment contained many unclassified bacterial sequences, including the mollusk pathogen , and detectable xenobiotic degradation and nitrogen transformation genes.

The Effect of Active Physical Training Interventions on Reactive Postural Responses in Older Adults: A Systematic Review.

Background: A variety of physical interventions have been used to improve reactive balance in older adults.

Purpose: To summarize the effectiveness of active treatment approaches to improve reactive postural responses in community-dwelling older adults.

Design: Systematic review guided by PRISMA guidelines.

Clinical decision-making to address poor outcomes in persistent horizontal semicircular canal benign paroxysmal positional vertigo: A case study.

Background: Horizontal semicircular canal BPPV (HSC-BPPV) can occur in 10-30% of BPPV cases. Lower success rates are reported for HSC-BPPV. The apogeotropic form of HSC-BPPV is more difficult to treat, as 5-40% of cases are described to be refractory to repositioning maneuvers.

Outcomes Following a Vestibular Rehabilitation and Aerobic Training Program to Address Persistent Post-Concussion Symptoms.

Purpose: To describe changes in adults with persistent symptoms and disability following a concussion after completing a supervised home exercise vestibular rehabilitation (VR) program combined with aerobic training.

Method: Participants included 14 consecutive individuals referred for VR within the context of a comprehensive concussion center. Outcome measures were administered at initial evaluation, 3 mos, and 6 mos.

The Kv1.1 null mouse, a model of sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP).

Objective: Kv1.1 potassium channel null mouse (NULL) exhibits spontaneous seizure-related bradycardia, dies following seizure, and has been proposed as a model for vagus-mediated SUDEP. We characterized the cardiac events surrounding sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) in NULL during terminal asystole for comparison to patients with epilepsy who exhibit bradycardia and terminal or nonterminal asystole during/following seizure and explored the contribution of vagal-mediated bradycardia to SUDEP.

Fluoroalkylated silicon-containing surfaces-estimation of solid-surface energy.

The design of robust omniphobic surfaces, which are not wetted by low-surface-tension liquids such as octane (γlv=21.6 mN/m) and methanol (γlv=22.7 mN/m), requires an appropriately chosen surface micro/nanotexture in addition to a low solid-surface energy (γsv).
