Reimagining the Army Medical Corps: Five Ideas for Raising Recruitment, Restoring Retention, and Restructuring Requirements.

The Army Medical Corps comprises the physicians of the U.S. Army.

Evaluation of Flexible Spending Accounts for Active-Duty Service Members.

Unlike many large employers, the U.S. military does not offer flexible spending account (FSA) options to members of the armed services and their families.

U.S. Department of Defense Disability Compensation Under a Fitness-for-Duty Evaluation Approach.

The joint U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) - Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Integrated Disability Evaluation System is the process by which DoD determines fitness for duty and separation or retirement of service members because of disability.

The duration of intermittent access to preferred sucrose-rich food affects binge-like intake, fat accumulation, and fasting glucose in male rats.

Many people restrict their palatable food intake. In animal models, time-limiting access to palatable foods increases their intake while decreasing intake of less preferred alternatives; negative emotional withdrawal-like behavior is sometimes reported. In drug addiction models, intermittent extended access drives greater changes in use than brief access.

Modeling hypohedonia following repeated social defeat: Individual vulnerability and dopaminergic involvement.

Social defeat in rodents putatively can model hypohedonia. The present studies examined models for assessing hypohedonia-like behavior and tested the hypotheses that 1) individual differences in baseline reward sensitivity predict vulnerability, and 2) defeat elicits changes in pharmacological measures of striatal dopaminergic function. Male Wistar rats (n=142) received repeated defeat (3 "triad" blocks of 3 defeats) or control handling.
