Resveratrol evokes neuroprotective effects and improves foot stance following kainate-induced excitotoxic damage to the mouse spinal cord.

Excitotoxicity, characterized by over-activation of glutamate receptors, is a major contributor to spinal cord injury (SCI) pathophysiology, resulting in neuronal death and loss of locomotor function. In our previous in vitro studies, we showed that excitotoxicity induced by the glutamate analogue kainate (KA) leads to a significant reduction in the number of neurons, providing a model for SCI. Our current objective was to assess the neuroprotective role of resveratrol (RESV), a natural polyphenol, following KA-induced SCI.

Stigma, Social Support, and Decision Satisfaction in Terminations of Pregnancy for Medical Reasons.

Objective: Existing abortion stigma research has rarely isolated the reason for termination; thus, the consequences of termination for medical reasons (TFMR) are poorly understood. We aimed to understand the association of stigma and social support with decision satisfaction in TFMR.

Methods: We performed a cross-sectional study on the experiences of 132 individuals who had a TFMR in the second or third trimester.

Perceptions of Patient-Centered Care and Their Association With Patient Satisfaction in Abortions for Medical Reasons.

Objective: Abortions for medical reasons, which happen in the event of fetal abnormalities or maternal life endangerment, are highly politicized and understudied given their prevalence. Our objective was to understand the health care experiences of U.S.

Systematic review: sleep health in the US Latinx population.

Sleep disturbances are a common and unmet health problem in Latinx. While Latinx report similar sleep disturbances as non-Hispanic Whites [NHW], Latinx suffer from these disturbances to a greater degree than their NHW counterparts. Sleep disturbances are associated with increased risk of chronic health conditions, which Latinx experience at high rates.
