The Impact of Parental Preconception Nutrition, Body Weight, and Exercise Habits on Offspring Health Outcomes: A Narrative Review.

An increasing number of studies highlight the critical role of both maternal and paternal nutrition and body weight before conception in shaping offspring health. Traditionally, research has focused on maternal factors, particularly in utero exposures, as key determinants of chronic disease development. However, emerging evidence underscores the significant influence of paternal preconception health on offspring metabolic outcomes.

Neurological Biomarker Profiles in Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) Pilots and Aircrew.

Background/objectives: Military aviators can be exposed to extreme physiological stressors, including decompression stress, G-forces, as well as intermittent hypoxia and/or hyperoxia, which may contribute to neurobiological dysfunction/damage. This study aimed to investigate the levels of neurological biomarkers in military aviators to assess the potential risk of long-term brain injury and neurodegeneration.

Methods: This cross-sectional study involved 48 Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) aviators and 48 non-aviator CAF controls.

Cystic Fibrosis Experience of Care Survey: Patient-Caregiver-Clinician Collaborative Design and Implementation.

People with cystic fibrosis (PwCF), families, and clinicians, partner to co-produce care, navigate access barriers, address mental health and social factors, follow specific infection prevention and control practices, and share decision-making regarding treatments and daily care. Standard patient satisfaction and experience of care surveys are not tailored to return relevant, actionable data for specific populations. To improve the care experience, the U.

A remote examination of acute stress responses: examining the influence of psychological resilience.

Background: A few studies have examined psychological resilience as a predictor of physiological responses to acute stress; however, no studies have directly examined psychological resilience as a moderator of subjective responses to acute stress.

Methods: Adults were recruited to participate in an acute stress response study that was conducted remotely. Demographics, psychological resilience, nicotine use and desire to quit, and information related to cannabis use were measured during a medical screening session.

Don't Sleep on Sleep: A Case Report from a Division I Heptathlete.

A female NCAA Division I track athlete experienced non-localized shin pain midway through her first season, which was diagnosed as medial tibial stress syndrome. Treatments included strengthening and range of motion exercises, reduced training volume, and pain control modalities, but symptoms worsened. It was revealed she had been suffering from severe sleep deprivation (<3 hours/night) contributing to bilateral tibial and fibular stress reactions.
