Analyzing computed tomography Modalities for screening pediatric patients for traumatic blunt cerebrovascular injury.

Background: Optimal screening for BCVI in pediatric trauma patients remains debated. We hypothesized screening with CTAN would decrease the number of duplicate CT scans per patient and increase BCVI detection rate.

Methods: Local BCVI screening institutional protocol changed May 2022 to include Computed Tomography angiography neck (CTAN).

Long-term effects of low prenatal alcohol exposure on GABAergic interneurons of the murine posterior parietal cortex.

Background: Fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASDs) are characterized by a wide range of physical, cognitive, and behavioral impairments that occur throughout the lifespan. Prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE) can lead to adult impairments in cognitive control behaviors mediated by the posterior parietal cortex (PPC). The PPC plays a fundamental role in the performance of response tasks in both primates and rodents, specifically when choices between similar target and nontarget stimuli are required.
