Despite major advances, our understanding of the neurobiology of life course socioeconomic conditions is still scarce. This study aimed to provide insight into the pathways linking socioeconomic exposures-household income, last known occupational position, and life course socioeconomic trajectories-with brain microstructure and cognitive performance in middle to late adulthood. We assessed socioeconomic conditions alongside quantitative relaxometry and diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging indicators of brain tissue microstructure and cognitive performance in a sample of community-dwelling men and women ( = 751, aged 50-91 years).

- The International Federation of Sports Physical Therapy (IFSPT) developed the Sports Physiotherapy Competencies and Standards document, highlighting essential professional behaviors in sports physiotherapy.
- This document was created by an international expert panel nearly twenty years ago as part of the EU-funded Sports Physiotherapy for All (SPA) project.
- The competencies outlined are crucial for policy development, ensuring quality in the field, and supporting the professional growth of individuals.
What is the Injury Incidence and Profile in Professional Male Ice Hockey? A Systematic Review.
Int J Sports Phys Ther
January 2024
Background: Professional male ice hockey is characterized by a congested in-season match schedule and by different scenarios where the whole body is exposed to great internal and external forces. Consequently, injuries occur from head to toe. However, there is a lack of data synthesis regarding the injury incidence and profile in this population.

We used T1w images from 164 subjects: Schizophrenia ( = 17), bipolar disorder ( = 25), major depressive disorder ( = 68) and a healthy control group ( = 54).
Methods: We extracted regions of interest (ROIs) using a method based on the SHOOT algorithm of the SPM12 toolbox.
