Article Abstract
Introduction: To compare comprehension of Miranda rights in adults with traumatic brain injury (TBI) versus adults without TBI as measured by response accuracy on the Miranda Right Comprehension Instruments.
Methods: Data were collected virtually via teleconferencing from July 2022 to February 2023. Participants included 25 adults with moderate-severe TBI (12 females, 13 males) and 25 adults without TBI (12 females, 13 males), ages 20-55 years. In this observational study, both groups (with and without TBI) completed the Miranda Right Comprehension Instruments (MRCI), which includes four instruments including Comprehension of Miranda Rights, Comprehension of Miranda Rights-Recognition, Function of Rights in Interrogation, Comprehension of Miranda Vocabulary instruments. Response accuracy on the MRCI was compared across groups.
Results: The TBI group was significantly less accurate when responding to questions on the MRCI compared to the NC group.
Conclusion: Individuals with chronic moderate-severe TBI underperform their non-injured peers on the Miranda Rights Comprehension Instruments, a tool used in legal settings when there is doubt about an individual's understanding of their Miranda rights. TBI is a risk factor for disruptions in comprehension of language in legal contexts that may, in part, contribute to the increased interaction with the criminal justice system and incarceration for individuals with TBI. Implications for policy, advocating, and intervention are discussed.

Metastasis is a main cause of cancer-related death, and a deeper understanding of the metastatic process will inform more targeted and mechanistic approaches that can abrogate challenges in treatment efficacy and toxicity. Several steps throughout the metastatic cascade, from angiogenesis to secondary tumor formation, offer specific vulnerabilities to therapies that can lead to the decline or cessation of metastatic progression. A deeper understanding of the metastatic cascade also allows combination systemic therapies to be used synergistically.

Article Synopsis
- Pregnancy- and lactation-associated osteoporosis (PLO) is a rare condition impacting women postpartum, exemplified by a case of a 29-year-old with severe back pain due to vertebral fractures.
- Diagnosis involves ruling out other causes of osteoporosis, with treatment typically including calcium and vitamin D supplements alongside lactation suppression; however, pain may persist even after treatment.
- The condition remains poorly understood, with potential causes including genetic factors and calcium metabolism changes, highlighting the need for early diagnosis and personalized treatment strategies for better patient outcomes.
Determinants of adherence towards tuberculosis guidelines among Indonesian private practitioners: a qualitative study.

Introduction: In high tuberculosis (TB) burden countries, the private sector manages a large proportion of initial visits by presumptive patients with TB. In Indonesia, the second largest contributor of TB cases globally, private practitioners (PPs) often do not adhere to national TB guidelines. A district public-private mix programme to mitigate this issue was started in 2019, yet engagement remains low.
