Article Synopsis
- People with brain injuries often have lower resiliency, making it crucial to measure resilience to help them cope with challenges.
- The review identified nine self-report resiliency measures suitable for individuals after acquired brain injury and evaluated their reliability and usefulness based on established guidelines.
- Future research could focus on applying these validated measures in clinical settings to enhance rehabilitation strategies aimed at improving resilience in patients with brain injuries.
Chronic kidney disease (CKD), a global public health problem, causes substantial morbidity and mortality worldwide. Innovative therapeutic strategies to mitigate the progression of CKD are needed due to the limitations of existing treatments. Kv1.

Methods: This was a parallel-group, assessor-blinded, randomized control trial conducted at 6 sites across 5 provinces of the CanStroke Recovery Trials Platform between 2020 to 2022.
Kidney fibrosis is the common pathological pathway in progressive chronic kidney disease (CKD), and current treatments are largely ineffective. The C-X-C chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4) is crucial to fibrosis development. By using neural cell adhesion molecules as scaffolds with binding loops that mimic the shape of shark antibodies, fully humanized single-domain i-bodies have been developed.
