Article Synopsis
  • Brain health concerns in contact sports have shifted focus from just concussions to the risks posed by repetitive head impacts (RHI), making RHI assessment crucial for athlete safety, especially in rodeo, which lacks existing research on this issue.
  • * Rodeo athletes in "Roughstock" events were monitored for head acceleration events (HAE) using impact tracking mouthguards, with confirmation through video and statistical analysis.
  • * Results show rodeo has a high rate of HAE, particularly in Bull Riding, where impacts occur mainly during dismounts, while Bareback Riding shows more frequent but lower magnitude head movements due to whiplash effects.

The emergence of antimalarial drug resistance is a major threat to malaria control and elimination. Using whole genome sequencing of 282 samples collected during the 2018 Zambia National Malaria Indicator Survey, we determined the prevalence and spatial distribution of known and candidate antimalarial drug resistance mutations. High levels of genotypic resistance were found across Zambia to pyrimethamine, with over 94% (n=266) of samples having the triple mutant (N51, C59, and S108), and sulfadoxine, with over 84% (n=238) having the double mutant (A437 and K540).
