Despite recent advances in understanding the connection between the gut microbiota and the adult brain, significant knowledge gaps remain regarding how gut inflammation affects brain development. We hypothesized that gut inflammation during early life would negatively affect neurodevelopment by disrupting microbiota communication to the brain. We therefore developed a novel pediatric chemical model of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), an incurable condition affecting millions of people worldwide.

Article Synopsis
- Adolescent and young adult (AYA) cancer survivors may face increased health risks and often engage in hazardous behaviors, including a rising trend in vaping.
- A scoping review of existing literature identified eight studies, revealing that the percentage of AYA cancer survivors who vape ranges from 2% to 46%, highlighting a significant variability across different studies.
- Factors such as medical conditions from cancer treatment, mental health issues, and demographic characteristics (like age and gender) are linked to vaping, indicating a need for further research, especially focused on younger survivors who are most at risk.
Objective: Existing research suggests that emotion plays an important role in airway inflammation and asthma symptom control. The objective of this study was to determine whether difficulties regulating emotion were associated with overuse of short-acting inhaled medications and acute medical care usage in adults with asthma.
Methods: The sample included 401 adults with asthma recruited from an online panel of adults with chronic respiratory disease.
Objective: This report summarizes results from a national survey that aimed to assess the training and technical assistance needs of individuals who work in mental health.
Methods: A survey was distributed to mental health workers by 10 regional centers of a large, nationwide, federally funded training and technical assistance network during January-October 2021.
Results: A total of 2,321 individuals from 58 states and territories responded to the survey.
