Individuals with traumatic brain injury (TBI) experience and live with physiological, psychological, and social impacts of their injury throughout their lives, including changes in one's sense of personal identity. This qualitative multiple-case study examines the lived experiences of four individuals living with brain injuries and how participation in occupation-based community programming interacts with post-injury sense of self. Study data reveal a dynamic relationship between occupational participation and personal identity that suggests ongoing post-acute occupational therapy services can support recovery including aspects of identity reformation.

Background: Young gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men have been referred to as a "hard-to-reach" or "hidden" community in terms of recruiting for research studies. With widespread internet use among this group and young adults in general, web-based avenues represent an important approach for reaching and recruiting members of this community. However, little is known about how participants recruited from various web-based sources may differ from one another.

Importance: Administrative health data serve as promising data sources to study transgender health at a population level in the absence of self-reported gender identity.
Objective: To develop and validate case definitions identifying transgender adults in administrative data compared with the reference standard of self-reported gender identity in a universal health care setting.
Design, Setting, And Participants: In this cohort study conducted in Alberta, Canada, data from provincial administrative health data sources including inpatient hospitalizations, emergency department encounters, primary care visits, prescription drug dispensations, and the provincial health insurance registry were linked and used to develop 15 case definitions (9 for transgender women and 6 for transgender men).

Background: The National Centralized Repository for Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias (NCRAD) is continuing to develop a bank of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) that are available by request to the Alzheimer's disease (AD) research community.
Methods: As part of the pipeline for quality control of received cell lines, DNA was extracted for all lines and was submitted for whole genome sequencing (WGS). Paired-end WGS data was generated using the Illumina NovaSeq 6000 and processed following GATK best practices using the Sentieon pipeline.

Background: Lewy bodies (LBs), characterized by intraneuronal inclusions of misfolded alpha-synuclein (α-syn) protein, are the pathological hallmark of Parkinson's disease (PD) and dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB). Because this protein is phosphorylated at serine-129 in 90% of LBs, its phosphorylation is considered a crucial pathogenic event in LB formation and disease development. Here, we present a unique brain autopsy case of a DLB patient with widespread LBs that were negative for phosphorylated-α-syn, challenging traditional diagnostic criteria.
