Brain health in Norwegian female former top-level football players: a protocol for a longitudinal cohort study.

Introduction: Repetitive head impacts (RHI) in sports may represent a risk factor for long-term cognitive and neurological sequelae. Recent studies have identified an association between playing football at the top level and an elevated risk of cognitive impairment and neurodegenerative disease. However, these were conducted on men, and there is a knowledge gap regarding these risks in female athletes.

Using RE-AIM to Assess Infant Early Childhood Mental Health Practices in Classrooms Serving Children with and Without Disabilities.

High-quality inclusive education is important for promoting the positive development of children with disabilities in early childhood care and education (ECCE) settings. However, ECCE teachers may not have the knowledge and skills to manage challenging behaviors in young children, especially those with disabilities. Infant and Early childhood mental health consultation (IECMHC) is one mechanism to support the professional development of teachers.

Teaching of Medical Ethics Regarding Military, Genetic, Reproductive, and Student Ethics, and the Holocaust at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences (USUHS) During Its First Fifty Years.

Introduction: The first class at USUHS took its initial course in medical ethics in 1977. I directed this course until recently when COVID first emerged. In this piece, I review what these students were taught during the first 3 of 8 class sessions involving children, end-of-life care, and rersearch.

Teaching of Medical Ethics Regarding Military, Genetic, Reproductive, Student Ethics, and the Holocaust at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences (USUHS) During Its First Fifty Years.

Introduction: The first class at USUHS took its initial course in medical ethics in 1977. I directed this course until recently when COVID first emerged. In this piece, I review what these students were taught during the last 5 of 8 class sessions involving the military, genetic, reproduction, student ethics, and the Holocaust.

Embryotoxicity of statins and other prescribed drugs with reported off-target effects on cholesterol biosynthesis.

Cholesterol plays pivotal cellular functions ranging from maintaining membrane fluidity to regulating cell-cell signaling. High cholesterol causes cardiovascular diseases, low cholesterol is linked to neuropsychiatric disorders, and inborn errors of cholesterol synthesis cause multisystem malformation syndromes. Statins lower cholesterol levels by inhibiting the first, rate-limiting reaction of the cholesterol biosynthesis pathway catalyzed by hydroxymethyl-glutaryl-Coenzyme A reductase (HMGCR).
