The Role of Food Literacy in Managing Nutritional Precarity in the Migrant Experience: Dietary Lifestyles of Cambodia Migrants in Thailand.

The paper explores the dietary lifestyles of young Cambodian migrants in Thailand to illuminate the role of food literacy in determining nutritional outcomes and well-being, including during crises, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. In this context, food literacy is defined as food skills and abilities to plan, select, and prepare to achieve adequate consumption under new or adverse social and culinary contexts of the migrant experience. In this paper, we consider both how nutritional precarity arises in the migrant experience, and to what extent food literacy can mitigate it under various conditions.

Return to Play Guidelines After Cervical Spine Injuries in American Football Athletes: A Literature-Based Review.

Study Design: Literature-based review.

Objective: We sought to evaluate clinical and case studies related to return to play (RTP) after cervical spine injuries in elite American football athletes and to formulate guidelines to help health care practitioners manage these conditions.

Summary Of Background Data: American football athletes are at unique risk of cervical spine injury and appropriate case-by-case management of cervical spine injuries is necessary for these athletes.

Sport-Related Structural Brain Injury and Return to Play: Systematic Review and Expert Insight.

Background: Sport-related structural brain injury (SRSBI) is intracranial pathology incurred during sport. Management mirrors that of non-sport-related brain injury. An empirical vacuum exists regarding return to play (RTP) following SRSBI.

Second impact syndrome in football: new imaging and insights into a rare and devastating condition.

Premature return to play for the concussed pediatric athlete may result in devastating neurological injury. Identification of at-risk patients and ideal management of the concussed athlete remain challenging for the pediatrician. The authors review a case of second impact syndrome in which neuroimaging was obtained between the first and second impacts, a circumstance which to their knowledge has not been previously reported.

Functionally-detected cognitive impairment in high school football players without clinically-diagnosed concussion.

Head trauma and concussion in football players have recently received considerable media attention. Postmortem evidence suggests that accrual of damage to the brain may occur with repeated blows to the head, even when the individual blows fail to produce clinical symptoms. There is an urgent need for improved detection and characterization of head trauma to reduce future injury risk and promote development of new therapies.

The use of electrical stimulation to enhance spinal fusion.

The goal of spinal arthrodesis is a solid osseous union across one or more spinal segments. A solid bone union after arthrodesis is commonly known as a spinal fusion. Surgeons have begun to understand the biomechanical and biological factors that influence the bone-healing process.

Concussion in professional football: players returning to the same game--part 7.

Objective: A 6-year study was conducted to determine the signs, symptoms, and outcome of players who were concussed and either returned immediately or were rested and returned to the same game in the National Football League (NFL).

Methods: From 1996 to 2001, concussions were recorded by NFL teams by use of a special standardized reporting form filled out by team physicians. Signs and symptoms were grouped by general symptoms, somatic complaints, cranial nerve effects, cognition problems, memory problems, and unconsciousness.

Concussion in professional football: repeat injuries--part 4.

Objective: A 6-year study was conducted to determine the signs, symptoms, and management of repeat concussion in National Football League players.

Methods: From 1996 to 2001, concussions were reported by 30 National Football League teams using a standardized reporting form filled out by team physicians with input from athletic trainers. Signs and symptoms were grouped by general symptoms, somatic complaints, cranial nerve effects, cognition problems, memory problems, and unconsciousness.

Concussion in professional football: epidemiological features of game injuries and review of the literature--part 3.

Objective: A 6-year study was performed to determine the circumstances, causes, and outcomes of concussions in the National Football League.

Methods: Between 1996 and 2001, the epidemiological features of concussions were recorded by National Football League teams with a standardized reporting form. Symptoms were reported and grouped as general symptoms, cranial nerve symptoms, memory or cognitive problems, somatic complaints, and loss of consciousness.

Myasthenia gravis presenting as a unilateral abducens nerve palsy.

A 48-year-old man with no significant medical history presented to the emergency department of a large, urban, tertiary-care hospital complaining of double vision and unsteady gait. Physical examination was remarkable for an isolated, unilateral sixth nerve palsy. After comprehensive testing, a final diagnosis of myasthenia gravis was made.

A multicenter, prospective, randomized trial evaluating a new hemostatic agent for spinal surgery.

Study Design: A prospective, randomized trial comparing Proceed, a gelatin-based hemostatic sealant (treatment), with Gelfoam-thrombin (control) in stopping intraoperative bleeding during spinal surgery.

Objectives: To determine the effectiveness and safety of Proceed.

Summary Of Background Data: Proceed has been tested in animal models to determine its safety and effectiveness as a hemostatic agent.

Premonitory neurologic signs in a patient with an acute vertex epidural hematoma.

A case of an acute vertex epidural hematoma with delayed neurologic deterioration is presented. Prior to the onset of signs of midbrain compression, the patient developed an excrutiating headache, a movement disorder, and upper motor neuron signs. A review of the literature and this case suggest that the presence of a severe, unrelenting headache and upper motor neuron signs in a victim of head trauma may be secondary to compression of the parasagittal brain region by a vertex hematoma.

Management of acute spine and spinal cord injuries. Old and new concepts.

The modern, positive approach to treatment of injuries of the cervical spine and spinal cord has produced excellent long-term survival, but less progress has been made in reversal of the neurologic defect. Injuries to the spinal column are of four types: flexion-dislocation, hyperextension, vertical compression, and rotation. Those to the spinal cord also involve four categories: morphologic damage, hemorrhage and vascular damage, structural changes, and biochemical response.

[The clinical significance of abnormalities of bronchial anatomy (author's transl)].

Abnormalities of the bronchi were found in 0.7-1.4% in patients examined by bronchoscopy or thoracotomy.
