Unlabelled: The purpose of this study was to ascertain the impact infra-low-frequency neurofeedback (ILF NFB), a new paradigm in the field, has on post-concussive symptoms of headache, sleep and attention disorders experienced by combat Veterans.
Background: ILF NFB, a non-invasive integrative health intervention, has demonstrated clinical efficacy in treating several physical and psychological conditions, including headaches, dysregulated sleep, and attentional dysfunctions. Given that 20-40 % of combat Veterans who experienced concussions during recent military operations suffer chronically from these disorders, this study aims to determine whether ILF NFB might be an effective treatment option.
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a multifactorial issue involving an intertwining relationship between animals, humans and the environment. The environment can harbour Escherichia coli that are pathogenic or commensal. Escherichia coli is used as an indicator of environmental faecal contamination.

OBJECTIVE: To determine what information obstetric medical providers (OB/MFMs) are most and least likely to provide when delivering prenatal screening/testing results about Down syndrome (DS), the subsequent impact of bias on prenatal screening experiences, and how these issues can be addressed through training, resources, and professional guidelines.
Methods: Online surveys were distributed to parents of children with DS born between 2016 and 2021 via local DS organizations and the national DS Diagnosis Network (April 2020-December 2021).
is one the most worrisome nosocomial pathogens, which has long been considered almost mainly as a hospital-associated bacterium. There have been some studies about animal and environmental isolates over the last decade. However, little effort has been made to determine if this pathogen dwells in the grass.

Despite the importance of grassland in global food security the potential of the grass phyllosphere as a reservoir of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is unknown. Additionally, the comparative risk associated with different manure sources is unclear.
