The accurate, repeatable, and cost-effective quantitative characterization of mild traumatic brain injuries (mTBIs) is crucial for safeguarding the long-term health and performance of high-risk groups, including athletes, emergency responders, and military personnel. However, gaps remain in optimizing mTBI assessment methods, especially regarding the integration of neuromechanical metrics such as reaction time (RT) in predictive models. This review synthesizes existing research on the use of neuromechanical probabilistic models as tools for assessing mTBI, with an emphasis on RT's role in predictive diagnostics.

: Hallux valgus is a common forefoot disorder with hundreds of proposed management techniques. Distal chevron osteotomy with a modified McBride procedure has been traditionally recommended for mild hallux valgus because of its simple and less invasive nature with fewer complications, faster recovery, and reliable outcomes. In recent years, the indications for this procedure have expanded to include hallux valgus with severe deformities.

This systematic review aimed to evaluate and synthesize scientific evidence on occupational therapy (OT) interventions focused on leisure activities to improve activities of daily living (ADLs) and cognitive function in middle-aged and older people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). A systematic review was carried out following the guidelines established by the PRISMA statement. The study was registered in the PROSPERO database.

The prevalence of childhood obesity is rising globally, with some obese children progressing to develop metabolic syndrome (MS). However, the specific differences between these groups remain unclear. To investigate the differences in gut microbiota, we conducted physiological and biochemical assessments, alongside 16S rRNA sequencing, in a cohort of 32 children from Southeastern China, which included 4 normal-weight children, 5 with mild obesity, 9 with moderate obesity, 9 with severe obesity, and 5 with metabolic syndrome.

Objective: To evaluate if peer relationship ratings differ among adolescents who sustain a sport-related concussion compared to those who sustain a non-sport-related concussion.
Study Design: We conducted a cross-sectional investigation of 123 adolescents who sustained a concussion within 21 days before their initial post-injury evaluation (mean = 9.2 ± 3.
