Article Synopsis
- Fetal therapy has evolved to include treatments for complex fetal disorders, leading to the establishment of specialized maternal-fetal surgery centers across the country.
- These centers adopt a multidisciplinary approach to prioritize both the safety of pregnant patients and the health of the fetus.
- While existing literature outlines what makes an effective center, there’s a lack of guidance on how to actually create one, highlighting the complex and resource-intensive journey involved in building these facilities.
Interprofessional education (IPE) continues to evolve as a critical component of providing quality health care. Emerging evidence suggests IPE is most effective if it exists across the continuum of academia to clinical practice. This article provides current evidence and models for IPE deliv-ery to students beginning in their academic programs.

- The study investigates how traumatic brain injury (TBI) affects neuropsychiatric symptoms (NPS) in people transitioning from normal cognition to dementia, focusing on the mild behavioral impairment (MBI) construct as a useful assessment tool.
- The research utilized data from the National Alzheimer's Coordinating Center to compare NPS prevalence between individuals with and without a history of TBI over a period of about 7.6 years.
- Findings indicated that more severe TBI was linked to specific NPS, such as social inappropriateness and abnormal perceptions, suggesting that individuals with TBI may experience greater behavioral disruptions throughout dementia progression.
Objective: The purpose of the study was to investigate the effects of flow phonation voice therapy on laryngeal physiology and vocal quality in persons with primary Muscle Tension Dysphonia (MTD1).
Methods: Seventeen participants with a diagnosis of MTD1 completed the study. Participants were randomized to two groups.
Anton Boisen was a seminal figure in the psychology of religion and pastoral psychology, but scholars have remained skeptical about his theoretical contributions and have perpetuated the stigma surrounding his psychiatric diagnosis and incarceration. I argue that Boisen was a prophet, ahead of his time, and that the academy has been slow to hear his salient critiques of the psychiatric system, and his contention that "psychosis" and "mystical experience" are overlapping phenomena. Most significantly, scholars have ignored the kernel of prophetic truth in Boisen's own visionary experience, which, remarkably, in 1920, predicted the ecological crisis of our current age.
