Published: September 1991

1. Because of patients are rapidly discharged after medication stabilization or crisis resolution, tertiary care in the home is emerging as an integral part of current psychiatric care. Students miss a valuable opportunity to participate in psychosocial rehabilitation if the clinical rotation is limited to an inpatient setting. 2. Guiding the client toward mental stabilization is the process of psychiatric care; outcomes are most apparent in the home. 3. Nursing is moving into psychiatric case management and continues to provide home care as a traditional role. Student home visits promote awareness of nursing responsibilities to families beyond the institution.

Objective: Although dysregulated inflammation has been postulated as a biological mechanism associated with post-acute sequelae of severe acute respiratory coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection (PASC) and shown to be a correlate and an outcome of PASC, it is unclear whether inflammatory markers can prospectively predict PASC risk. We examined the association of leukocyte count and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) concentrations, measured ~25 years prior to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, with PASC, PASC severity, and PASC-associated cognitive outcomes at follow-up among postmenopausal women.

Methods: Using biomarker data from blood specimens collected during pre-pandemic enrollment (1993-1998) and data on 1,237 Women's Health Initiative participants who completed a COVID-19 survey between June 2021 and February 2022, we constructed multivariable regression models that controlled for pertinent characteristics.

Adult neurogenesis has most often been studied in the hippocampus and subventricular zone-olfactory bulb, where newborn neurons contribute to a variety of behaviors. A handful of studies have also investigated adult neurogenesis in other brain regions, but relatively little is known about the properties of neurons added to non-canonical areas. One such region is the striatum.
