Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to identify factors that could improve the completion rates of research among healthy mothers and their newborns involved in a study on jaundice from 2015 to 2019 in Philadelphia.
- - Out of 501 mother-infant dyads enrolled, 304 completed the study, and factors leading to higher completion rates included scheduling the study visit close to the first well-child visit and providing an alternate phone number.
- - The study emphasizes the significance of effective communication and patient-centered strategies for increasing participant retention in research, suggesting future studies should adopt similar approaches.
Background: Many people experiencing homelessness dwell, panhandle, or congregate in public spaces where they frequently cross paths with others. In these spaces, they can be recipients of acts of kindness or emotional and physical insult, but there is little research on the quality, nature, or value of interactions between people living on the street and those who pass them by.
Aim: This study explored the lived experiences of unhoused people who panhandle and their interactions with passersby in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Microglia play critical roles in tissue homeostasis and can also modulate neuronal function and synaptic connectivity. In contrast to astrocytes and oligodendrocytes, which arise from multiple progenitor pools, microglia arise from yolk sac progenitors and are widely considered to be equivalent throughout the CNS. However, little is known about basic properties of deep brain microglia, such as those within the basal ganglia (BG).
