Delirium and Self-Reported Driving Behaviors and Outcomes After Critical Illness.

Importance: Survivors of critical illness often have ongoing issues that affect functioning, including driving ability.

Objective: To examine whether intensive care unit (ICU) delirium is independently associated with long-term changes in driving behaviors.

Design, Setting, And Participants: This multicenter, longitudinal cohort study included 151 survivors of critical illness residing within 200 miles of Nashville, Tennessee.

Firearm Restraining Order Implementation Case Study in Lake County, Illinois.

Risk-based firearm laws are a firearm injury prevention strategy. However, evidence for their efficacy in reducing firearm injury is mixed. There is agreement that the magnitude of their effect depends on implementation and efficacy would improve with better implementation.

Trajectories of Physical Activity and Screen Media Use in Toddlers and Related Parenting Practices: Child and Mother Physical Activity Study (CAMPAS).

Physical activity (PA) and screen media use are key behaviors for healthy development in early childhood. This study aimed to investigate 12-month trajectories of PA and screen time among toddlers and examine their associations with parenting practices. The Child and Mother PA Study (CAMPAS) recruited toddler-mother dyads in the US Chicago area from 2022-2024.

Factors influencing primary health care service provision to older adults in lagos, nigeria: understanding the experiences of the demand population.

Background: As the population in Nigeria ages, primary health care (PHC) is a critical, inclusive, and cost-effective approach to improving the health status and care for older adults who require regular care for noncommunicable diseases and age-related conditions. To address age-related healthcare disparities and promote healthy aging there is a need to identify barriers and facilitators to PHC access for older adults in Nigeria.

Methods: We conducted a qualitative study using focus group discussions (FGDs) with older adults in Lagos State.

Prophylactic protection from lethal henipavirus disease mediated by Nipah-derived defective interfering particles is influenced by challenge virus strain and viral species.

Background: Henipaviruses, including Nipah and Hendra viruses, are zoonotic pathogens that can cause severe respiratory and neurological diseases with high mortality rates in humans. Due to the severity of the disease, the high pandemic potential of these viruses, and the lack of approved treatments, the development of safe and effective medical countermeasures against henipaviruses is a critical priority.

Methods: Here, we evaluate treatment efficacy of defective interfering particles (DIPs)-naturally occurring virus-like particles that lack substantial portions of the viral genome-against henipaviruses in the Syrian hamster model of disease.
