Test-Retest Reliability and Reliable Change Estimates for Sensorimotor Concussion Assessments in Healthy Young Adults.

Context: Sensorimotor impairments are common sequela following concussion, but recovery following a concussion is often determined through examiner scored clinical testing. There are emerging technologies that provide objective methods to determine physiological impairment after concussion, but the psychometrics of these tools are lacking and must be established for use in clinical practice.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to examine the test-retest reliability and provide reliable change estimates in healthy young adults for outcomes from 3 emerging technologies providing objective assessments of sensorimotor function in healthy young adults.

Online social platform engagement by young treatment seekers in a digital vaping cessation intervention: Effects on confidence in the ability to quit vaping and vaping abstinence.

Background: The evidence-based vaping cessation program, This is Quitting (TIQ), has been found to be effective in promoting abstinence among young people who use e-cigarettes.

Purpose: To estimate acceptability and engagement with Discord among treatment seeking youth and young adults and assess the benefit of adding an online social platform via Discord to TIQ.

Methods: Between February and March 2023, 527 TIQ participants (aged 13-24 years) were invited to join Discord with other TIQ users (TIQ Discord).

Differential modulation of photosystem II photochemical efficiency in six C xero-halophytes.

Xero-halophytes are the salt-tolerant plants of dry habitats that adapt efficient strategies to endure extreme salt and water fluctuations. This study elucidated the adaptations related to PSII photochemistry, photoprotection, and photoinhibition in six C4 xero-halophytes (Atriplex stocksii , Haloxylon stocksii , Salsola imbricata, Suaeda fruticosa, Desmostachya bipinnata , and Saccharum griffithii ) grown in their native habitats. Chlorophyll a fluorescence quenching measurements suggested that S.
