Importance: Management of maternal cardiac arrest (MCA) requires understanding the unique physiology of pregnancy and modifications to life support. Health care professionals have historically demonstrated inadequate knowledge and skills necessary to treat MCA.
Objective: To evaluate the effect of Obstetric Life Support (OBLS) education on health care professionals' cognitive performance, skills, and self-efficacy in managing MCA.
Introduction: Open reduction and fixation are the standard of care for treating mandibular fractures and usually lead to successful healing. However, complications such as delayed healing, non-union, and infection can compromise patient outcomes and increase healthcare costs. The initial inflammatory response, particularly the response involving specific CD8 T cell subpopulations, is thought to play a critical role in healing long bone fractures.

We performed a prospective study to analyze the effect of different transplant modalities on immune reconstitution of γδ T cells and subsets. CD3, CD4 and CD8 T cells were analyzed in parallel.

- The study aimed to assess how disease-modifying treatments (DMT) for Alzheimer’s disease (AD) affect the duration of independence in daily living activities among individuals with very mild to mild AD dementia.
- It followed 282 participants over about 2.9 years, finding that loss of independence in instrumental activities (IADLs) typically occurred when CDR-SB scores reached above 4.5, and for basic activities (BADLs) above 11.5.
- Notably, treatments like lecanemab and donanemab were associated with extended periods of independence in IADLs, with lecanemab offering an average of 10 months and donanemab providing an average of 13
Objective: Biomarkers of Alzheimer disease vary between groups of self-identified Black and White individuals in some studies. This study examined whether the relationships between biomarkers or between biomarkers and cognitive measures varied by racialized groups.
Methods: Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), amyloid positron emission tomography (PET), and magnetic resonance imaging measures were harmonized across four studies of memory and aging.
