Impact of Restriction-Resumption Protocols on Mood and Anxiety in Healthy Adults: Randomized Controlled Trial
Background: Simple behavioral and cognitive actions can reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression. However, there is limited research investigating whether restricting those same actions increases symptoms and whether resuming those actions reduces symptoms. Objective: The primary aim was to examine…
Efficacy of a World Health Organization–Guided Self-Help Intervention for Reducing Psychological Distress in Afghan Refugees: Randomized Controlled Trial
Background: Common mental health disorders are highly prevalent among refugees. There is an urgent need to address the mental health burden in this population. Objective: This study tested the efficacy of an individually supported self-help stress-management intervention developed by the…
Congressional Democrats try to force a vote to end Medicare AI prior authorization pilot
Congressional Democrats are mounting a fresh effort to end a Medicare experiment to use AI to approve or deny care.
STAT+: Pioneering trial for treating genetic disease before birth nears reality
A UCSF team has submitted an application to the FDA seeking approval for a small trial of in utero gene therapy for a rare lysosomal storage disorder.
Surgeon general’s office issues warning on screen time for children
A public health advisory calls on parents, schools, and government to limit children's use of screens, saying some patterns of use “can pose real harm to children.”
STAT+: Florida hospitals win $8 billion in extra Medicaid funds
Stricter limits on extra Medicaid funds are coming, stemming from President Trump's tax cut bill.
STAT+: Scientists track cellular disruptions that lead to type 1 diabetes
Growing evidence suggests it takes a sustained viral infection in the right genetic environment to lead to type 1 diabetes.
Systemic inflammation response index as an independent predictor of unfavorable prognosis and its application in risk stratification in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage
BackgroundAneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) is a devastating cerebrovascular disease associated with high rates of mortality and long-term disability. Early risk stratification is essential to guide personalized management. Systemic inflammation plays a key role in secondary brain injury after aSAH. The…
Three factor delay learning rules for spiking neural networks
Spiking neural networks (SNNs) are hybrid dynamical systems that operate on spatiotemporal data, yet their learnable parameters are often limited to synaptic weights, contributing little to temporal pattern recognition. Learnable parameters that delay spike times can improve classification performance in…
Infant traumatic brain injury with a biphasic clinical course and late diffusion restriction: a case report
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) in young children can rarely exhibit a biphasic clinical course with delayed neurological deterioration. We report a 2-year-old boy who fell from 50 cm and briefly lost consciousness with vomiting, initially found to have a right frontotemporoparietal…
Machine learning-based morphological brain analysis in schizophrenia and unaffected siblings: a multisite study of potential risk markers
Background and hypothesisAssessing schizophrenia risk factors is crucial for developing early preventive interventions. We hypothesized that unaffected siblings, who share high genetic risk, exhibit neuroanatomical signatures similar to affected patients, potentially reflecting early pathogenic processes.Study designTo overcome single-center limitations, we…
CDKL5 deficiency results in atypical subregion-specific expression of perineuronal nets during mouse visual critical period
Perineuronal nets (PNNs) in the primary visual cortex (V1) are specialized extracellular matrix structures that form predominantly on parvalbumin+ GABAergic neurons, marking the closure of visual critical period plasticity. More recently, PNNs are used to characterize deficits in critical period…
Perceived stress and mental health in perimenopausal women: a serial mediation study of psychological distress and social support
BackgroundThe perimenopausal phase is associated with a significantly higher prevalence of mental health disorders in women, with stress perception emerging as a pivotal risk factor. However, the psychological and social mechanisms through which stress perception influences women’s mental health during…
The many manifestations of magical thinking: a systematic review
Magical thinking (MT) involves beliefs that thoughts or actions can influence events in unrealistic ways. While MT is integral to obsessive compulsive disorder, and reflected in the cognitive features of schizophrenia, it is observable across the general population in various…
Sleep quality and its associated factors among women of reproductive age in Ethiopia: a systematic review and meta-analysis
BackgroundQuality sleep is vital for women’s health during reproductive years, affecting both physical and mental well-being. In Ethiopia, socio-economic and cultural factors worsen sleep issues, but data on this demographic are scarce. This systematic review and meta-analysis assesses the prevalence…
Group-based psychosocial interventions reduce internalized stigma in psychiatric disorders: ISMI-focused systematic review
BackgroundInternalized stigma negatively impacts recovery outcomes, quality of life, and self-concept among individuals with psychiatric diagnoses. Group-based psychosocial interventions have been proposed as effective stigma-reduction strategies, but their impact across diverse populations remains under-evaluated.ObjectiveThis systematic review synthesizes global evidence on…
Detecting bipolarity using the Lebanese Arabic hypomania checklist (HCL-32): validation of shortened HCL versions
IntroductionDue to the under diagnosis of bipolar disorder, screening instruments such as the hypomania checklist 32 items (HCL-32) is used to differentiate between Bipolar Disorder (BD) and Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). However due to its lengthy format, efforts were done…
Novel antivenoms bite back
Nature Biotechnology, Published online: 20 May 2026; doi:10.1038/s41587-026-03157-6New approaches to antivenoms for snakebite lean on cutting-edge techniques, but can they successfully be brought to market?
Directed evolution of small RNA-stabilizing motifs that improve prime-editing efficiency
Nature Biotechnology, Published online: 20 May 2026; doi:10.1038/s41587-026-03123-2Prime editing is improved with engineered RNA-stabilizing motifs.
