Adolescent substance use is common with 11% to 31% of adolescents in 8th through 12th grade reporting illicit substance use. Of particular concern is the increasing rate of overdose deaths among adolescents. The likelihood of developing a substance use disorder (SUD) is linearly associated with frequency of use and inversely associated with age, such that young people with early onset of use are the most susceptible for later dependence.

Background: Mycosis fungoides (MF) is the most common form of cutaneous T cell lymphoma. While multiple guidelines provide treatment recommendations, there are currently no clear treatment algorithms for MF. Chlormethine gel is recommended by major treatment guidelines as a first-line option for stage IA-IIA disease, and, on the basis of these guidelines, used in combination with other therapies in patients with advanced-stage MF in clinical practice.

In our inaugural year as , we are proud to support the dissemination of some of the highest quality research being conducted in our field. Choosing the "best" among stars is a tall order and most certainly misses the many ways articles make an impact: is the "best" the most interesting, most surprising, most educational, most important, most provocative, or most enjoyable? How to decide? This time around, we made some picks based on those that were methodologically rigorous and clinically salient. It is our pleasure to give a special "hats off" to the 2023 articles that we think deserve your attention or at least a second read!

Article Synopsis
  • - A new force sensor has been developed that combines plasmonic nanostructures with upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs), featuring a gold nanodisk and a flexible polymer layer.
  • - The sensor works by changing its luminescence intensity when compressed or stretched, due to alterations in the polymer thickness affecting how the gold nanodisk interacts with the UCNPs.
  • - It offers significantly improved sensitivity compared to older sensors, can be made as either an array for on-chip use or in a fluid form, making it versatile for applications in areas like biology and robotics.

Learning to predict threat is essential, but equally important-yet often overlooked-is learning about the absence of threat. Here, by recording neural activity in two nucleus accumbens (NAc) glutamatergic afferents during aversive and neutral cues, we reveal sex-biased encoding of threat cue discrimination. In male mice, NAc afferents from the ventral hippocampus are preferentially activated by threat cues.

Article Synopsis
  • This project gathered experts to create guidelines for treating a skin condition called pediatric Mycosis fungoides (MF), which is different from how adults are treated.
  • They talked about important factors that go beyond just measuring the size of the disease, like itching, how it affects daily life, and feelings of worry or embarrassment.
  • The team made 10 recommendations for managing both early and advanced stages of pediatric MF, but they still need more information on how to treat the later stages properly.

Weight variations are common in sporting life, with important inter-individual variability in the degree of an athlete's habitual weight loss. As a part of the WAVE study (NCT04107545), the main objective of this preliminary study was to determine whether the habitual degree of weight loss was associated with anthropometric, body composition, nutritional or psychometric profiles during a period of weight maintenance in athletes accustomed to weight variations. We hypothesized that athletes accustomed to a higher habitual degree of weight loss may have a higher body weight and body fat mass, and may present a more controlled diet regimen and cognitive restriction than athletes with a lower habitual degree of weight loss.

Discrimination and structural factors that promote discrimination and sociocultural inequities are social determinants of health that contribute to poorer health outcomes among minoritized youth. Discrimination consists of institutional or individual-level biases leading to disparate and unequitable access to resources. If individuals are aware of these experiences and their impact on one's own ability to access resources or opportunities, individuals may self-report these occurrences.

Background: There is a critical global shortage of nurses in mental health, with workforce attrition due in large part to workplace stressors. Proactive strengths-based interventions to strengthen nurses' capacity to manage stress and improve mental health, wellbeing and resilience may also support workforce retention.

Objective: To determine the effects of a resilience-building programme on mental health nurses' coping self-efficacy (primary outcome), and psychological distress, wellbeing, resilience, posttraumatic growth, emotional intelligence behaviours, workplace belonging, and turnover intention (secondary outcomes).

Psoriasis is an inflammatory skin disease characterized by epidermal and immune dysfunctions. Although efficient, current topical treatments display adverse effects, including skin atrophy and burning sensation, leading to poor patient adherence. To overcome these downsides, pickering emulsions were formulated in which the calcitriol-containing dispersed phase was stabilized with either cyclosporin A- or tacrolimus-loaded poly(lactic-co-glycolic) acid nanoparticles.

  • Sezary syndrome (SS) used to have very few treatment options and not a good outlook for patients, but new therapies are helping a lot.
  • In a study of 178 patients treated from 2012 to 2020, more advanced treatments led to much better survival rates: about 56% of patients lived at least 5 years.
  • Patients who had a special treatment called allogeneic stem-cell transplantation (AlloSCT) had even better chances to survive, with around 91% living for 5 years, but those who couldn't get that treatment still faced challenges.

Atom probe tomography (APT) has been utilized to investigate the microstructure of two model borosilicate glasses designed to understand the solubility limits of phosphorous pentoxide (P2O5). This component is found in certain high-level radioactive defence wastes destined for vitrification, where phase separation can potentially lead to a number of issues relating to the processing of the glass and its long-term chemical and structural stability. The development of suitable focused ion beam (FIB)-preparation routes and APT analysis conditions were initially determined for the model glasses, before examining their detailed microstructures.
