Script training is a speech-language intervention designed to promote fluent connected speech via repeated rehearsal of functional content. This type of treatment has proven beneficial for individuals with aphasia and apraxia of speech caused by stroke and, more recently, for individuals with primary progressive aphasia (PPA). In the largest study to-date evaluating the efficacy of script training in individuals with nonfluent/agrammatic primary progressive aphasia (nfvPPA; Henry et al.

- The CONNECT-TBI study is examining how noninvasive neuromodulation can enhance cognitive training for military personnel with mild traumatic brain injury, specifically using the Attention Process Training-III (APT-III) program.
- A review of ten studies highlighted areas needing standardization in the APT-III administration to ensure reliable and uniform implementation across various sites and participants.
- Key areas requiring attention include dosage, adaptation of training, metacognitive strategy instruction, and goal attainment scaling, with the authors working towards creating a standardized process for these aspects.
The ingestion of soil and dust by children and adults is a potential source of exposure to environmental contaminants. To advance beyond the simple averaging of estimates used in the U.S.

The US Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) 2021 PFAS Strategic Roadmap describes national research plans to address the challenge of PFAS.
Objectives: Systematic Evidence Map (SEM) methods were used to survey and summarize available epidemiological and mammalian bioassay evidence that could inform human health hazard identification for a set of 345 PFAS that were identified by the US EPA's Center for Computational Toxicology and Exposure (CCTE) for toxicity and toxicokinetic assay testing and through interagency discussions on PFAS of interest.
