The first part of this two-part series examined the difficulties facing nurses working with injecting drug users with skin problems (Finnie and Nicolson, 2002). This article describes the needs of homeless people with skin complaints and the innovative development of a specific drop-in wound care clinic within The Big Issue Scotland premises in Glasgow. It illustrates some practical and political difficulties of working with a unique and challenging client group, and of developing a wound care service outwith the NHS. Case studies illustrate individual people and their own challenges.

Background: The fibrosis of pathologic scar (PS) is formed by the excessive deposition of extracellular matrix, resulting in an abnormal scar. Recent clinical tests have indicated that the regulation of PS fibroblast cells (PSF cells) proliferation can serve as an intervention measure for PS. Our work aimed to elucidate the specific mechanism of action of TCF4 on the progression of PS fibrosis.

Purpose Of Review: This review aims to analyze the impact of martial arts on youth, addressing the physical and psychosocial benefits, as well as the injury risks associated with increased participation.
Recent Findings: Data from the National Federation of State High School Associations indicates a notable increase in youth participation in martial arts, with a rise of over 13,000 participants from 2018 to 2022. In addition to physical benefits, recent studies highlight that martial arts can significantly enhance mindfulness, reduce stress, and improve self-control, thus diminishing bullying behaviors in school-aged children.
Background: Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) increases dementia risk. Delays in diagnosis are common due to insensitive tools, prolonging symptoms and time to treatment. Dual-task gait and functional mobility deficits are present post-mTBI and in people living with dementia (PWD); however, it is unclear whether dual-tasking can be used as a tool to differentiate between groups.

The debate surrounding the advantages and disadvantages of surgical interventions versus non-operative approaches for femoral neck fractures in older individuals with AD remains a topic of active discussion.
Method: In this retrospective cohort study, the total medical expenses associated with operative and non-operative therapies were compared while adjusting for patients' demographics and baseline health conditions.

Background: In elite athletes, participation in sports associated with repetitive head injury exposure has been linked to an increased risk of neurodegeneration later in life. However, there has been limited study in more general populations. We aimed to investigate whether participation in such sports impacted outcomes relevant to brain health in a cohort of British-born older adults.
