STAT+: White House taps Amazon, GoodRx, and Mark Cuban to bolster TrumpRx
Trump's drug discount platform adds 600 generic medications via major online pharmacies.
With no approved vaccine for Ebola outbreak, experts weigh testing a long shot
With no approved vaccine for the fast-growing Ebola outbreak in the DRC, experts weigh testing one with unknown protection.
Drug Target for Fragile X Syndrome Identified Through Preclinical Study
Researchers identified the synaptic protein EPAC2 as a potential therapeutic target for fragile X syndrome, and showed that blocking EPAC2 in an FXS mouse model restored abnormal patterns of brain activity and improved several FXS-associated behavioral symptoms. The post Drug…
STAT+: Trump’s CMS to allow skimpier plans on ACA exchanges
The new plans could leave patients on the hook for more of their health care costs.
AI Model Predicts Alzheimer’s Progression from a Single MRI Scan
A new AI framework developed by UCSF researchers can predict Alzheimer’s disease progression and future cognitive decline from a single MRI scan without requiring PET imaging, fluid biomarkers, or baseline cognitive testing. The post AI Model Predicts Alzheimer’s Progression from…
STAT+: Why the WakeMed – Atrium Health hospital merger matters
Hospital execs worked in secret on the deal for two years.

Inside Anduril and Meta’s quest to make smart glasses for warfare
The defense-tech company Anduril has shared new details about the augmented-reality headset for the military it’s prototyping with Meta, including a vision for ordering drone strikes via eye-tracking and voice commands. Quay Barnett, who leads the efforts as a vice…
Genetic and clinical investigation of insulin-degrading enzyme in Parkinson’s disease within the Chinese Han population
IntroductionGrowing evidence suggests a mechanistic link between type 2 diabetes mellitus and Parkinson’s disease (PD), with insulin-degrading enzyme (IDE) implicated in both insulin and amyloid-β metabolism, as well as α-synuclein degradation. However, the role of IDE in PD pathogenesis remains…
From autophagy–lysosomal deficits to neurodegeneration in Niemann-Pick type C1 disease: implications for age-related neurodegenerative disorders
Niemann-Pick type C1 (NPC1) disease is a neurodegenerative lysosomal storage disorder caused by loss-of-function mutations in the NPC1 gene. NPC1 deficit primarily disrupts lipid homeostasis and subsequently drives cellular degeneration through mechanisms involving impaired autophagy and mitophagy, mitochondrial dysfunction, and,…
Effects of motor imagery brain-computer interface task on quantitative EEG features in patients with prolonged disorders of consciousness
ObjectiveTo analyze quantitative electroencephalographic (EEG) characteristics during Motor Imagery Brain-Computer Interface (MI-BCI) task in patients with prolonged disorders of consciousness (pDoC).MethodsForty-three patients with pDoC due to various brain injuries were enrolled. Based on modified Coma Recovery Scale-Revised (CRS-R) assessments, the…
Amelioration of tic disorder by Jujuboside A via gut microbiota remodeling and intestinal 5-HT signaling
BackgroundTic disorder (TD) is a common chronic neuropsychiatric condition manifesting during childhood and adolescence. Jujuboside A (JuA) may alleviate TD symptoms; however, the mechanisms underlying its therapeutic effects remain unclear.MethodsWe established a rat model of TD and used histological techniques…
Multivariate age-related variations in quantitative MRI maps: widespread age-related differences revisited
This study applied multivariate ANOVA to investigate age-related microstructural changes in the brain tissues driven primarily by myelin, iron, and water content, as observed in MRI (semi-)quantitative R1, R2*, MTsat and PD maps. This is effectively a re-analysis of the…
Neurocognitive function among individuals with problematic social media use
BackgroundWith the development of technology and the internet, social networks gained momentum quickly and play a central role in daily activities. Despite this, there is a public health concern over excessive or problematic social media use. There is also a…
Microstructural abnormalities in the ATR and VOF underlie tone awareness deficits in Chinese children with developmental dyslexia: a DTI study
ObjectiveTone awareness is crucial for reading in Chinese children, significantly affecting those with developmental dyslexia (DD). This paper identifies microstructural abnormalities in the inferior fronto-occipital fasciculus (IFOF), uncinate fasciculus (UF), anterior thalamic radiation (ATR), and vertical occipital fasciculus (VOF) in…
Heatwave-related variations in psychiatric consultations and admissions: a time-series analysis
BackgroundHeatwaves are becoming increasingly frequent and intense across Europe, posing significant risks to physical and mental health. Emerging evidence suggests that prolonged exposure to high temperatures may exacerbate psychiatric symptoms and increase the demand for acute mental health services.ObjectivesThis study…
Psychological inflexibility and resilience in anxiety: insights from machine-learning and robust mediation-based models
IntroductionPsychological inflexibility (PI) has been associated with anxiety symptoms, while resilience serves as a protective factor; however, their roles and interrelationship remain poorly understood. We investigated the role of PI on anxiety-related symptoms while assessing the mediating role of resilience…
The trajectories of Demoralization Syndrome and its related factors among elderly patients with end-stage kidney disease: a longitudinal study
ObjectiveElderly ESKD patients frequently experience a range of psychosocial difficulties, with Demoralization Syndrome (DS) being especially prevalent. This study sought to delineate distinct longitudinal trajectories of DS and to examine factors associated with trajectory membership.MethodsA prospective longitudinal cohort of 363…
