Anxious Dads and Depressed Moms: Child Disability and the Mental Health of Parents

Health Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Having a child with a disability undoubtedly affects parents in many ways, including their well‐being. However, the specific mental health trajectories of parents, differentiated by the severity of impairments and parental roles, remain under‐explored. We investigate the mental‐health effects of having a child with a disability.

Research progress of neurovascular units involved in ischemic stroke

Ibrain, EarlyView.
The brain receives less blood when an ischemic stroke develops, which damages neurons and leads to an increased release of Pro‐inflammatory mediators that activate neurovascular unit (NVU). When the tight junctions are broken and the basement membrane is disrupted by matrix metalloproteinases produced by active endothelial and pericellular cells ...

Adjuvant pharmacological strategies for the musculoskeletal system during long‐term space missions

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract Despite 2 h of daily exercise training, muscle wasting and bone loss are still present after 6‐month missions to the international space station. Some crew members lose bone much faster than others. In preparation for missions to the Moon and Mars, space agencies are therefore reviewing their countermeasure portfolios.

Reference Values for Water‐Specific T1, Intermuscular and Intramuscular Fat Content in Skeletal Muscle at 2.89 T

Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, EarlyView.
Background MRI offers quantification of proton density fat fraction (PDFF) and tissue characteristics with T1 mapping. The influence of age, sex, and the potential confounding effects of fat on T1 values in skeletal muscle in healthy adults are insufficiently known.
