Objective:
Significant advances in the research of sport-related concussion (SRC) and repetitive head impacts (RHI) over the previous decade have translated to improved injury identification, diagnosis, and management. However, an objective gold standard for SRC/RHI treatment has remained elusive. SRC often result in heterogenous clinical outcomes, and the accumulation of RHI over time is associated with long-term declines in neurocognitive functioning. Medical management typically entails an amalgamation of outpatient medical treatment and psychiatric and/or behavioral interventions for specific symptoms rather than treatment of the underlying functional and/or structural brain injury. Transcranial photobiomodulation (tPBM), a form of light therapy, has been proposed as a non-invasive treatment for individuals with traumatic brain injuries (TBI), possibly including SRC/RHI. With the present proof-of-concept pilot study, we sought to address important gaps in the neurorehabilitation of former athletes with a history of SRC and RHI by examining the effects of tPBM on neurocognitive functioning.
Participants and Methods:The current study included 49 participants (45 male) with a history of SRC and/or RHI. Study inclusion criteria included: age 18-65 years and a self-reported history of SRC and/or RHI. Exclusion criteria included: a history of neurologic disease a history of psychiatric disorder, and MRI contraindication. We utilized a non-randomized proof-of-concept design of active treatment over the course of 8-10 weeks, and neurocognitive functioning was assessed at pre- and post-treatment. A Vielight Neuro Gamma at-home brain tPBM device was distributed to each participant following baseline assessment.
Participants completed standardized measures of neurocognitive functioning, including the California Verbal Learning Test (CVLT-3), Delis Kaplan Executive Function System (D-KEFS), Continuous Performance Test (CPT-3), and The NIH Toolbox Cognition Battery. Neurocognitive assessments were collected prior to and following tPBM treatment. Paired t-tests and Wilcoxon’s signed-rank tests were used to evaluate change in performance on measures of neurocognitive functioning for normal and nonnormal variables, respectively, and estimates of effect size were obtained.
Results:Study participants’ ability for adapting to novel stimuli and task requirements (i.e., fluid cognition; t=5.96; p<.001; d=.90), verbal learning/encoding (t=3.20; p=.003; d=.48) and delayed recall (z=3.32; p=.002; d=.50), processing speed (t=3.13; p=.003; d=.47), sustained attention (t=-4.39; p<.001; d=-.71), working memory (t=3.61; p=.001; d=.54), and aspects of executive functioning improved significantly following tPBM treatment. No significant improvements in phonemic and semantic verbal fluencies, reading ability, and vocabulary were shown following tPBM treatment.
Conclusions:The results of this pilot study demonstrate that following 8-10 weeks of active tPBM treatment, retired athletes with a history of SRC and/or RHI experienced significant improvements in fluid cognition, learning and memory, processing speed, attention, working memory, and aspects of executive functioning. Importantly, the majority of effect sizes ranged from moderate to large, suggesting that tPBM has clinically meaningful improvements on neurocognitive functioning across various cognitive domains. These results offer support for future research employing more rigorous study designs on the potential neurorehabilitative effects of tPBM in athletes with SRC/RHI.

Summary
Transformation of our health-care systems is required to better meet the complex needs of our aging population as we confront the rise of health-care costs around the world. Older adults with multiple chronic health conditions can receive care that is fragmented, incomplete, inefficient, and ineffective. Care delivery and coordination of the complicated needs of older adults resides primarily in outpatient practice, both sub-specialty and primary care. However, the overall coordination is dependent on primary care practices, which through transformation into highly effective interprofessional teams can be designed and equipped to guide comprehensive care for all patients. The term “practice transformation” refers to a process of change in the organization and delivery of care to advance quality improvement and patient-centered care. Practice transformation is a continuous process that involves leadership, goal-setting, workflow changes, quality improvement, and reporting of outcomes. It requires adapting organizational tools and processes to support advances in models of team-based care.

Objective:
Diets high in red and processed meat (RPM) contribute substantially to environmental degradation, greenhouse gas emissions and the global burden of chronic disease. High-profile reports have called for significant global RPM reduction, especially in high-income settings. Despite this, policy attention and political priority for the issue are low.
Design:The study used a theoretically guided framing analysis to identify frames used by various interest groups in relation to reducing RPM in online news media articles published in the months around the release of four high-profile reports by authoritative organisations that included a focus on the impacts of high RPM production and/or consumption.
Setting:Four major RPM producing and consuming countries – USA, United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand.
Participants:None.
Results:Hundred and fifty news media articles were included. Articles reported the views of academics, policymakers, industry representatives and the article authors themselves. RPM reduction was remarkably polarising. Industry frequently framed RPM reduction as part of a ‘Vegan Agenda’ or as advocated by an elite minority. Reducing RPM was also depicted as an infringement on personal choice and traditional values. Many interest groups attempted to discredit the reports by citing a lack of consensus on the evidence, or that only certain forms of farming and processing were harmful. Academics and nutrition experts were more likely to be cited in articles that were aligned with the findings of the reports.
Conclusions:The polarisation of RPM reduction has led to a binary conflict between pro- and anti-meat reduction actors. This division may diminish the extent to which political leaders will prioritise this in policy agendas. Using nuanced and context-dependent messaging could ensure the narratives around meat are less conflicting and more effective in addressing health and environmental harms associated with RPM.

The IntCal09 and Marine09 radiocarbon calibration curves have been revised utilizing newly available and updated data sets from 14C measurements on tree rings, plant macrofossils, speleothems, corals, and foraminifera. The calibration curves were derived from the data using the random walk model (RWM) used to generate IntCal09 and Marine09, which has been revised to account for additional uncertainties and error structures. The new curves were ratified at the 21st International Radiocarbon conference in July 2012 and are available as Supplemental Material at www.radiocarbon.org. The database can be accessed at http://intcal.qub.ac.uk/intcal13/.

High-quality data from appropriate archives are needed for the continuing improvement of radiocarbon calibration curves. We discuss here the basic assumptions behind 14C dating that necessitate calibration and the relative strengths and weaknesses of archives from which calibration data are obtained. We also highlight the procedures, problems, and uncertainties involved in determining atmospheric and surface ocean 14C/12C in these archives, including a discussion of the various methods used to derive an independent absolute timescale and uncertainty. The types of data required for the current IntCal database and calibration curve model are tabulated with examples.

Care-related infections are a major public health concern. Their transmission can be associated with environmental factors. This study looks at air contamination around 45 patients colonized with multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs). We found that 30 hospital rooms (67%) were contaminated with MDRO species and 10 rooms (22%) were contaminated with at least 1 MDRO.

A referral was made to our Cardiac Transplant Program for a patient who was in the New Jersey Prison System. The Medical Director of the New Jersey Department of Corrections called regarding a 39-year-old inmate who was being treated in a New Jersey hospital that has a unit for prisoners from a nearby cor- rectional facility. The referring physician described the patient to our Medical Director of heart transplantation as a “murderer” who had been incarcerated since 1987 and sentenced to prison for 30 years without eligibility for parole before completion of his 30-year sentence. The patient was being treated in the CCU of the facility and according to preliminary studies, was suffering from a possible dilated cardiomyopathy. There was evidence of a prior cerebrovascular accident (etiology unknown) with a dense hemiplegia of the left side. The patient was alert but unable to care for himself. There were a number of specific tests necessary to evaluate the patient's candidacy for heart transplantation before actually placing him-on a waiting list. However, the transplant director was uncertain about having the patient brought to our facility for further testing and called some members of the Transplant Selection Committee team to discuss the case.

Butyrate is an important substrate for maintenance of colonic health and oligofructose fermentation by human faecal bacteria can increase butyrate production in vitro. However, oligofructose appears to be fermented by mainly acetate and lactate-producing bacteria rather than butyrate-producing bacteria. Isotope labelling studies using [U-13C6]glucose were used to show that 13C2 and 13C4 were the major labelled butyrate species produced from glucose fermentation, via [13C2]acetate–acetyl CoA as intermediate. Bacterial interconversion reactions were quantified and acetate conversion to butyrate and lactate conversion to acetate, propionate and butyrate were observed. Addition of oligofructose to faecal batch cultures significantly increased butyrate production. Of the newly synthesised butyrate from oligofructose fermentation, 80% was derived from interconversion of extracellular acetate and lactate, with acetate being quantitatively more significant. Carbohydrates, such as oligofructose, have prebiotic properties. In addition, oligofructose selectively stimulates the bacterial conversion of acetate and lactate to butyrate. Carbohydrates with similar properties represent a refinement of the prebiotic definition, termed butyrogenic prebiotics, because of their additional functionality.
