Perceived safety in community and service settings among young adults experiencing homelessness: Differences by sexual and gender identity

American Journal of Community Psychology, Volume 70, Issue 3-4, Page 340-351, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Homelessness poses risks to the health and safety of young adults; particularly among sexual and gender minority (SGM) young adults. The current study sought to better understand service use and perceived safety in community and service settings among SGM and cisgender heterosexual (cis‐hetero) young adults experiencing homelessness. Data come

Housing the homeless: How revisiting the 1940s assists the struggle

Australian Journal of Social Issues, Volume 57, Issue 4, Page 798-811, December 2022., 2022
Abstract A major obstacle in the political work of housing the homeless is convincing voters and lawmakers that housing is a right and should be available to all without conditions. This paper seeks to assist that project by showing that the tension between rights and conditions has a history. It focusses on the pivotal 1940s, which saw the first major

Survival, safety and belonging: An ethnographic study of experiences and perceptions of people who inject drugs accessing a supervised injecting Centre

Australian Journal of Social Issues, Volume 57, Issue 4, Page 829-846, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Introduction The inclusion of people who use drugs in the design and evaluation of their health services remains a relatively new phenomenon. The aim of the research was to explore the experiences and perceptions of people accessing the Medical Supervised Injecting Centre (MSIC), and Clinic 180, Sydney Australia, and the factors facilitating ...

Associations of Cerebrospinal Fluid Orexin‐A, Alzheimer Disease Biomarkers, and Cognitive Performance

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACTObjectiveCerebrospinal fluid (CSF) orexin‐A has been suggested to be a biomarker of Alzheimer disease (AD). In both cognitively unimpaired healthy older adults and individuals with symptomatic AD, CSF orexin‐A is positively associated with CSF Aβ42, p‐tau181, and total tau (t‐tau) concentrations.

Novel Phenotypes and Deep Intronic Variant Expand TH‐Associated Dopa‐Responsive Dystonia Spectrum

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Approximately 20% of dopa‐responsive dystonia (DRD) cases remain genetically unresolved. Using whole‐genome sequencing, we identified two TH variants in a young DRD patient, including a novel deep intronic variant. Minigene assays confirmed that this variant causes aberrant splicing.

Cortical Excitability Before and After Long‐Term Perampanel Treatment for Epilepsy

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Antiseizure medications (ASMs), which may influence cortical excitability, are the mainstay of epilepsy treatment. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) helps evaluate cortical excitability. We assessed changes in TMS responses using serial TMS measurements in people treated with an adjunctive noncompetitive AMPA‐receptor ...

EEG Spectral Exponents and Visual Chirp Responses Mirror Anti‐Seizure Medication Load in Refractory Focal Epilepsy

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Quantitative markers of cortical excitability may help identify responders to anti‐seizure medications (ASMs). We studied the relationship between ASM load and two electroencephalography (EEG) markers of cortical excitability in people with refractory epilepsy. Methods We included individuals with refractory focal epilepsy undergoing
