Motorists may improperly use the diagonal shoulder belt of newer passive restraint systems by failing to use the lap belt. An unusual case of patient who did not wear a lap belt and who sustained a cervical C5-6 distraction injury resulting in quadriplegia is reported. Emergency physicians should be aware of this injury mechanism and should reinforce proper passive restraint use.

Acceptance of Parents toward Hand-over-mouth Exercise and Other Behavior Management Techniques for Pediatric Dental Care in the 21st Century: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Observational Studies.

Background: Hand-over-mouth exercise (HOME) is an aversive technique for child behavior management in a dental office. HOME has been omitted from various guidelines and certain teaching curricula due to legal and ethical issues. This systematic review meta-analysis (SRMA) was undertaken to understand the acceptance of parents toward HOME in comparison with that of other behavior management techniques (BMTs).

The paper examines the impact of passive restraint on fire-induced spalling in concrete, utilizing a concrete mixture to minimize compositional variability. A variety of specimen geometries was prepared, including standard cubes and cylinders for the determination of mechanical properties and slabs of different dimensions for fire spalling tests conducted under controlled conditions. A top-opening Dragon furnace, which applies ISO 834-1 fire curves, was used to evaluate the influence of "cold rim" boundaries, where slab edges were insulated to create thermal restraint.

The prevalence of depressive disorders in women has been reported in many countries. However, the cellular mechanisms mediating such sex differences in stress susceptibility remain largely unknown. Previously, we showed that lateral habenula (LHb) neurons are more activated in female mice than in male mice by restraint stress.

Coordinated activity of neuronal ensembles is a basis for information processing in the brain. Recent development of miniscope imaging technology enabled recordings of neuronal circuits activity in vivo in freely behaving animals. Acute stress is believed to affect various hippocampal functions, especially memory.

Article Synopsis
- - Psychological stress influences eating behavior by decreasing regulated food intake while increasing the consumption of pleasurable foods.
- - In experiments with rats, acute stress led to less consumption of regular food but a higher intake of a dessert food, while chronic stress resulted in reduced overall calorie intake, including binge eating episodes.
- - Binge eating high-fat diets under chronic stress not only caused metabolic issues but also shifted stress coping strategies, potentially raising the risk for stress-related disorders like depression.
