Context: Former collegiate athletes may be at risk for negative health outcomes such as lower health-related quality of life (HRQoL), greater disablement, and lower lifetime physical activity (PA) participation. A history of severe sport injury may play a role in these outcomes.
Objective: To assess the role of prior sport injury in self-reported HRQoL, levels of disablement, and PA behaviors of former National Collegiate Athletic Association Division I women's soccer players.
Objective: Survivors of extremely preterm birth are at risk of re-hospitalization but risk factors in the Canadian population are unknown. Our objective is to identify neonatal, sociodemographic, and geographic characteristics that predict re-hospitalization in Canadian extremely preterm neonates.
Methods: This is a retrospective analysis of a prospective observational cohort study that included preterm infants born 22 to 28 weeks' gestational age from April 1, 2009 to September 30, 2011 and seen at 18 to 24 months corrected gestational age in a Canadian Neonatal Follow-Up Network clinic.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how finfish aquaculture affects benthic communities at hard bottom sites by using visual indicators like bacterial mats and opportunistic polychaetes.
- Regulatory thresholds exist, where exceeding a certain level of these indicators can indicate unhealthy organic loading, but the links between these indicators and overall biological diversity (like species richness) remain uncertain.
- The research found a notable decrease in taxon richness near aquaculture sites, correlating this decline with the presence of visual indicators, and emphasizing that all indicators should be used together to assess environmental impacts accurately.
Background: Many communities are reporting increases in the number of infants requiring NICU care. Practices continue to vary and there is limited available evidence about nursing care.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to describe current nursing care practices for infants with prenatal substance exposure in the NICU setting and during transition to the community.
