Evaluation of mindfulness-based interventions for pain, anxiety, and depression in spinal cord injury patients: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Objective: Rehabilitative measures following spinal cord injury (SCI) typically fail to mitigate the psychological symptoms that might heighten pain levels. Mindfulness-based interventions (MBI) have been proposed to address such concerns. We aim to review the literature on MBI used for pain, anxiety, and depression in SCI.

Peripheral defects precede neuromuscular pathology in the mouse model of spinal muscular atrophy.

Background: Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) is an inherited neurodegenerative disease caused by the loss or mutation of the survival motor neuron 1 ) gene. Though classically regarded as a motor neuron disorder, reports are increasingly describing the involvement of non-neuronal organs in SMA. The mouse is a model of SMA that displays a peripheral phenotype including metabolic defects.

Pediatric relapsed/refractory ALK-positive anaplastic large cell lymphoma treatment and outcomes in the targeted-drug era.

Treatment options for patients with relapsed or refractory (R/R) anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) have increased in the era of targeted therapies such as brentuximab vedotin (BV) and anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) inhibitors. However, there is no standard treatment and published data evaluating their use are limited. The goal of this retrospective study was to describe current real-world treatment and outcomes of pediatric, adolescent, and young adult patients with R/R ALK-positive ALCL.

Spin Chains with Highly Quantum Character through Strong Covalency in CaCrN.

The insulating transition metal nitride CaCrN consists of sheets of triangular [CrN] units with symmetry that are connected via quasi-1D zigzag chains. Due to strong covalency between Cr and N, Cr ions are unusually low-spin, and = 1/2. Magnetic susceptibility measurements reveal dominant quasi-1D spin correlations with very large nearest-neighbor antiferromagnetic exchange = 340 K and yet no sign of magnetic order down to = 0.

Prenatal opioid exposure, neonatal abstinence syndrome diagnosis, and child welfare involvement.

Background: Neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS), or withdrawal from prenatal opioid exposure at birth, can trigger a referral to child protective services (CPS). However, there is some evidence of selection into NAS diagnosis because NAS screening is not universal. Such referrals may protect the infant, help connect the mother to services, or cause harm.
