School-Based Mental Health Screening For Teens Results In Connection To Care

School-Based Mental Health Screening For Teens Results In Connection To Care
A new study involving nearly 2,500 high school students demonstrates the value of routine mental health screening in school to identify adolescents at-risk for mental illness, and to connect those adolescents with recommended follow-up care. The largest school-based study conducted to-date by the TeenScreen National Center for Mental Health Checkups at Columbia University, findings are published in the Sept. 2011 issue of the Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry...

Gradients with Depth in Electrospun Fibrous Scaffolds for Directed Cell Behavior.
Authors: Sundararaghavan HG, Burdick JA A major obstacle in creating viable tissue engineered constructs using electrospinning is the lack of complete cellularization and vascularization due to the limited porosity in these densely packed fibrous scaffolds. One potential approach to circumvent this issue is the use of various gradients of chemical and biophysical cues to drive the infiltration of cells into these structures. Towards this goal, this study focused on creating durotactic (mechanical) and haptotactic (adhesive) gradients through the thickness of electrospun hyaluronic acid (HA) scaffolds using a unique, yet simple, modification of common electrospinning protocols. Specifically, both mechanical (via crosslinking: ranging from 27%-100% modified methacrylated HA, MeHA) and ad...
