Fast whole brain relaxometry with Magnetic Resonance Spin TomogrAphy in Time-domain (MR-STAT) at 3 T: a retrospective cohort study.

Objective: To report T/T-values of normal and normal appearing brain tissues (NBTs, healthy volunteers; NABTs, patients) acquired with a whole-brain 5-minute Magnetic Resonance Spin TomogrAphy in Time-domain (MR-STAT) protocol, and to explore relaxometry behavior in a brain tumor and in a multiple sclerosis patient.

Methods: MR-STAT was acquired in 49 participants (39 patients with neurological pathologies, age range: 21-79 years) at 3 T. Mean T/T-values were computed for: normal and normal appearing grey matter (NGM/NAGM)/white matter (NWM/NAWM)/thalamus/putamen/caudate nucleus (CN)/globus pallidus (GP).

The role of playing position in soccer injury characteristics: evidence from sub-elite athletes.

This study examines the association between playing position and injury characteristics among sub-elite male soccer players in South Africa. Using a cross-sectional survey, 223 players from four universities were assessed for injury prevalence, type, mechanism, and severity during the 2023 soccer season. Midfielders experienced the highest injury frequency (43.

Towards a learning healthcare community in the Bronx: evaluating the Bridging Research, Accurate Information and Dialogue (BRAID) model.

Background: Learning healthcare communities (LHCCs) have been proposed as a next-generation evolution of learning health systems that can advance health equity; however, a practical mechanism for enabling the active and continuous community engagement required for one has not yet been described in the literature. Recognizing that community-based participatory research (CBPR) could potentially meet this need, a team at the Montefiore Medical Center/Albert Einstein College of Medicine designed a novel evidence-based CBPR model - Bridging Research, Accurate Information and Dialogue (BRAID) - that initiates meaningful, longitudinal dialogues to foster bidirectional trust between researchers, clinicians, scientists and communities.

Methods: A mixed-methods cohort study of two BRAID cohorts was conducted between 2022 and 2023.

Inpatient Use of Valproic Acid in Agitated Delirium by Palliative Medicine.

Antipsychotics and benzodiazepines are prescribed for hyperactive delirium despite their side effects and lack of supportive evidence. Valproic Acid (VPA) improves agitation without QTc prolongation, excessive sedation, and parkinsonism. However, high quality evidence for this is lacking in delirium.

Design: A repeated cross-sectional design.

Methods: A sub-study of early career nurses as part of an Australian longitudinal follow up study, commenced in 2018, was conducted.
