    Abstract Elder abuse is a serious public health concern requiring immediate intervention; however, the under-reporting of elder abuse by victims to formal and informal networks remains a major obstacle. This scoping review aims to identify barriers to help seeking that older adults experiencing abuse confront. The goal is to inform public policies and practices in the Canadian context and identify research gaps in the extant literature. Seven scholarly databases were searched from which 12 articles met the inclusion criteria and were extracted for analysis. The findings from this scoping review revealed three levels at which barriers exist: individual focused, abuser/family focused, and community/culture focused barriers. The results suggest that there are several complex obstacles that older adults face when contemplating disclosure of abuse. Future research into help seeking in the Canadian context should more readily incorporate the voices of elder abuse victim-survivors to develop effective assessment strategies and responsive service provisions.

    Abstract Abstract: BACKGROUND: Sports- and recreation-related concussions impact the cognitive function of secondary school students during the recovery process. They can cause symptoms such as headache, difficulty concentrating, and memory impairment, which pose a challenge for students during the return to learn (RTL) after injury. Concussion management teams (CMTs) assist the student in managing symptoms and develop an individualized RTL process; however, the ideal composition of professionals involved in the CMT has not been fully evaluated. METHODS: A systematic review was conducted to assess current research on CMTs in secondary schools. A search of the databases CINAHL, MEDLINE, and PsycINFO was conducted using the search terms "concussion management team" AND "school" OR "return to learn." RESULTS: Twenty-four articles were included for review. The CMT structure was highly variable in all studies. Identified themes from the literature were confusion of role definition and function, and communication gaps among interdisciplinary team members. Half of the articles viewed the school nurse as the leader in coordinating the CMT and RTL process. CONCLUSION: Evidence from this review suggests further consensus in this field is needed to clarify the school nurse's role and standardize the CMT structure.

    Abstract Purpose: The main objective of this study was to determine patient attitudes toward resident participation in their facial cosmetic treatment.
    Materials and methods: The study design was a cross-sectional study which consisted of an anonymous questionnaire regarding the patient's opinion of resident involvement in their care. Patients who presented to a single academic center seeking facial cosmetic care were surveyed over a period of 10 months. The primary outcome variables were degree of training, analysis of resident involvement impacting quality of care, and resident gender.
    Results: Fifty patients were surveyed. All participants agreed that they would be comfortable if a resident observed their consultation or treatment and 94% agreed they would be comfortable if a resident interviewed and examined before meeting with the surgeon (n = 47). When asked if they would prefer a resident to be far along in their training if they were involved in the surgical care, the majority, 68% (n = 34), agreed. Only 18% (n = 9) of the patients reported feeling a resident's involvement in their surgery may lower the quality of their care.
    Conclusion: Patient perception of resident participation in their cosmetic treatment is favorable, but it appears patients do prefer that residents be well into their training years.

    Abstract Introduction: The purpose of this study was to examine whether blood-based biomarkers associate with neurobehavioral functioning at three time points following traumatic brain injury (TBI).
    Materials and methods: Participants were 328 United States service members and veterans (SMVs) prospectively enrolled in the Defense and Veterans Brain Injury Center-Traumatic Brain Injury Center of Excellence (DVBIC-TBICoE) 15-Year Longitudinal TBI Study, recruited into three groups: uncomplicated mild TBI (MTBI,
    Results: Significant associations were found between biomarkers and MMPI-2-RF scales (all
    Discussion: Results indicate worse scores on some MMPI-2-RF scales (e.g., depression, stress/worry, neurological and head pain complaints) were associated with lower concentrations of serum GFAP, NfL, and tau in the sub-acute and chronic phase of the recovery trajectory up to 5 years post-injury, with a reverse trend observed at 8-10 years. Longitudinal studies are needed to help elucidate any patterns of association between blood-based biomarkers and neurobehavioral outcome over the recovery trajectory following TBI.

    Abstract Return to learn (RTL) is the individualized process of coordinating cognitive care and reintegration for students into the academic setting after any sport and recreational-related concussion (SRRC). The guidelines for RTL are based on empirical evidence, however, implementation differs by institution. The purpose of the policy analysis is to evaluate RTL guidelines after SRRC of student-athletes in New England secondary school public school systems. A review of the six New England states' policies surrounding RTL was conducted. The Comprehensive Analysis of Physical Activity Framework was referenced to identify the analytic components of existing legislation and because of the relatively new implementation of RTL-specific policy, a novel policy analysis tool was utilized. States with RTL-specific language scored on average 7.9 to 11.1 points higher when compared to states without RTL-specific language. This difference was associated with disparities in access to RTL resources for residents according to their geographic location. Lobbying efforts should be targeted toward states without RTL-specific language to provide equal care and opportunities for student-athletes to receive RTL services. RTL policy provides a responsibility to assist students who have suffered from an SRRC and can serve to improve health outcomes and academic achievement.

    Abstract Background: People living with dementia (PWD) are at a heightened risk for falls. However, the effects of exercise on falls in PWD are unclear.
    Objective: To conduct a systematic review of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) examining the efficacy of exercise to reduce falls, recurrent falls, and injurious falls relative to usual care among PWD.
    Methods: We included peer-reviewed RCTs evaluating any exercise mode on falls and related injuries among medically diagnosed PWD aged ≥55years (international prospective register of systematic reviews (PROSPERO) ID:CRD42021254637). We excluded studies that did not solely involve PWD and were not the primary publication examining falls. We searched the Cochrane Dementia and Cognitive Improvement Group's Specialized Register and grey literature on 08/19/2020 and 04/11/2022; topical categories included dementia, exercise, RCTs, and falls. We evaluated the risk of bias (ROB) using the Cochrane ROB Tool-2 and study quality using the Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials.
    Results: Twelve studies were included (n = 1,827; age = 81.3±7.0 years; female = 59.3%; Mini-Mental State Examination = 20.1±4.3 points; intervention duration = 27.8±18.5 weeks; adherence = 75.5±16.2%; attrition = 21.0±12.4%). Exercise reduced falls in two studies [Incidence Rate Ratio (IRR) range = 0.16 to 0.66; fall rate range: intervention = 1.35-3.76 falls/year, control = 3.07-12.21 falls/year]; all other studies (n = 10) reported null findings. Exercise did not reduce recurrent falls (n = 0/2) or injurious falls (n = 0/5). The RoB assessment ranged from some concerns (n = 9) to high RoB (n = 3); no studies were powered for falls. The quality of reporting was good (78.8±11.4%).
    Conclusion: There was insufficient evidence to suggest that exercise reduces falls, recurrent falls, or injurious falls among PWD. Well-designed studies powered for falls are needed.

    Abstract Blast exposures that occur during training are common in military personnel; however, the biomarkers that relate to these subtle injuries is not well understood. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to identify the acute biomarkers related to blast injury in a cohort of military personnel exposure to blast-related training. Thirty-four military personnel who participated in the training program were included in this study. Blood samples were collected before and after repetitive blast-related training on days 2 (
