Influenza Drugs Could Prevent Cognitive Decline in Chronic Viral Infections
A combination of influenza drugs could reduce cognitive impairment and premature aging in people living with chronic infections. The post Influenza Drugs Could Prevent Cognitive Decline in Chronic Viral Infections appeared first on Inside Precision Medicine.
Awakening from the Trance
This blog was originally posted by the TLC Foundation for BFRBs Trichotillomania touches on all levels of human experience, from the neurological to the spiritual. It represents the interactions of... Read more » The post Awakening from the Trance appeared…
Opinion: If Americans risk their lives fighting Ebola overseas, they deserve the right to come home
Outbreak response is difficult enough without asking responders to wonder whether they will have access to the best available care if they become ill.
The Download: AI hacking beyond Mythos, and chatbots’ impact on our brains
This is today’s edition of The Download, our weekday newsletter that provides a daily dose of what’s going on in the world of technology. The Meta hack shows there’s more to AI security than Mythos On Monday, reports emerged that…
Metabolic syndrome and perioperative neurocognitive disorders: epidemiology, mechanisms, and interventions
Perioperative neurocognitive disorders, an umbrella term encompassing preoperative cognitive impairment, acute postoperative delirium, and longer term postoperative neurocognitive disorders, represent significant complications for the growing population of older surgical patients. The rising prevalence of metabolic syndrome, defined by the clustering…
Enhancing seizure prediction using a DC-SA-EBiLSTM framework with self-attention mechanism
BackgroundAccurately predicting seizures remains challenging. With advances in smart medical technology, EEG-based monitoring has become essential. This study aims to improve prediction accuracy using a hybrid framework that models multiscale EEG characteristics.MethodsEEG signals are decomposed into multiple sub-bands using the…
Mirrored structural symmetry index (VMSSI): a novel approach for diagnosing MR-negative focal cortical dysplasia using structural MRI
BackgroundFocal cortical dysplasia (FCD) is a common cause of drug-resistant epilepsy, yet its diagnosis remains challenging, particularly for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-negative FCD. In this study, we propose a novel metric, the Voxel-Mirrored Structural Symmetry Index (VMSSI), to quantify hemispheric…
A novel fixel-based approach for resolving neonatal white matter microstructure from clinical diffusion MRI
IntroductionPreterm birth is a major risk factor for disrupted brain development and subsequent neurodevelopmental disorders, yet the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. Further, typical neuroimaging analyses are particularly challenging in the neonatal brain: data is frequently low quality, and a…
Exploring ceramide as a novel biomarker and therapeutic target for Alzheimer’s disease
Metabolic dysregulation is increasingly being recognized as a hallmark across various neurodegenerative diseases. While Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is well-established as a dual proteinopathy characterized by amyloid-beta (Aβ) deposition and tau protein tangles, the specific mechanisms mediating lipid homeostasis imbalance have…
Personality functioning in adolescents with depression: links with childhood maltreatment, psychopathology, self-harm and suicidal ideation
BackgroundAdolescence represents a critical developmental period marked by significant vulnerability to depression, a condition with heterogeneous presentations that complicate clinical management. The co-occurrence of personality dysfunction with depression is known to indicate greater severity and poorer prognosis, yet specific features…
Additive impulsivity and emotion dysregulation in adolescents with comorbid bipolar and substance use disorder: a cross-sectional factorial study
IntroductionComorbid bipolar disorder (BD) and substance use disorder (SUD) in adolescence is associated with poor clinical outcomes, yet the independent and interactive contributions of impulsivity and emotion dysregulation remain poorly understood.MethodsThis cross-sectional study employed a 2 × 2 factorial design…
Waiting between war and loss: a qualitative study on the experience of ambiguous loss among Syrian refugees
IntroductionAmbiguous loss refers to individuals' lack of knowledge about the whereabouts or fate of loved ones due to traumatic events such as war or natural disasters. It is associated with significant economic, social, and psychological consequences, including grief, depression, and…
Family risk factors, dyadic coping, and family resilience in young stroke dyads: an actor-partner interdependence mediation model
ObjectiveStroke in young individuals constitutes a significant familial stressor, with ensuing family risk factors critically influencing recovery. While couples’ collaborative coping strategies play a vital role in enhancing family resilience, the mechanisms underlying this process remain largely unexplored. This study…
Diazepam combined with aripiprazole in the treatment of a catatonic stupor patient with venous thrombosis: a case report
BackgroundCatatonic stupor is a potentially life-threatening condition, with key symptoms including mutism, immobility, refusal to eat, and negativism. It may be accompanied by complications such as infection, hyperthermia, and thrombosis. When patients develop concurrent severe physical illnesses, this is very…
Multiplexed, precise genome engineering in monocots with twin prime editing systems
Nature Biotechnology, Published online: 05 June 2026; doi:10.1038/s41587-026-03174-5Plant genome editing is multiplexed with twin prime editing.
Structural motif search across the protein universe with Folddisco
Nature Biotechnology, Published online: 05 June 2026; doi:10.1038/s41587-026-03162-9Folddisco enables protein structural motif search in million scale databases.
The Meta hack shows there’s more to AI security than Mythos
On June 5, 404 Media reported that attackers had been using Meta’s AI customer support agent to steal Instagram accounts. Their approach was simple: They asked the agent to link the accounts to email addresses that they controlled, and the…
Are AI chatbots making us lose control of our brains?
This week I’ve been at SXSW London. There’s been music, film, and a lot—and I mean a lot—of talk about AI. I also had the opportunity to sit down with Gloria Mark, a psychologist at the University of California, Irvine,…
Opinion: How living and practicing medicine abroad complicated my beliefs about universal health care systems
“I believe deeply in universal health care. But universal care must also mean universal safety and accountability, not merely universal access.”
