Background And Objectives: Perhaps stemming from the central role of detailed examinations and a focus on the subjective sphere that grounds their clinical practice, neurologists have frequently opined on experiences traditionally a province of humanities. The increasingly technological focus on medical education and care can be seen to devalue the subjective aspects of medicine. As a counter to this, we report on the existence of neurohumanities curricula within neurology residency training.

Given this backdrop, this retrospective study aims to explore clinical, demographic, and disposition-related information about this patient population over a 10-year period.
Methods: This study includes individuals with ASD or ID (n = 1461) and had presented to a psychiatric emergency department between 2012 and 2021.
Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the early post-injury experiences regarding choice and control for individuals with acquired brain injury or spinal cord injury and their caregivers.
- - Nine patients and four caregivers were interviewed, revealing four main themes: feeling like a "passenger" in the system, the need for support, a desire for improvement, and adapting to a "new normal."
- - The findings suggest that enhancing choice and control can empower individuals post-injury, offering valuable insights for healthcare professionals to support these patients effectively.
Article Synopsis
- Metformin, a commonly prescribed diabetes medication, is often detected in wastewater and surface waters due to its stability and poor breakdown, potentially harming aquatic ecosystems.
- An 8-week experiment in a freshwater lake tested the impact of metformin at concentrations of 0, 5, and 50 μg/L on various aquatic organisms, including microbes and zooplankton.
- Results showed that metformin remained stable in water, with no significant adverse effects on aquatic communities or organisms, suggesting limited environmental impact despite its high concentration in wastewater.
