Major mental disorders are increasingly understood as disorders of brain development. Large and heterogeneous samples are required to define generalizable links between brain development and psychopathology. To this end, we introduce the Reproducible Brain Charts (RBC), an open data resource that integrates data from 5 large studies of brain development in youth from three continents ( =6,346; 45% Female).

Objective: Severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is often complicated by hemodynamic instability requiring pharmacological support. Venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV ECMO) is a well-established technique that contributes to improved outcomes in this population. However, the effects of VV ECMO on inotropic and vasoconstrictor requirements have never been addressed in a large case series.

Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) affects about 5% of the population. In order to minimize ADHD effects, it is important to identify its biomarkers. We analyzed electroencephalographic (EEG) signals using a random forest (RF) classifier optimized with a genetic algorithm (GA) to find differences between control and ADHD groups.

Desmodus rotundus bats are the main reservoir for Lyssavirus rabies (RABV) in the Americas, however, knowledge of virus-host interactions in this species is very limited due to challenges associated with establishing in vivo experimental infections. In this context, cell culture becomes a valuable tool for expanding knowledge on the dynamics of RABV infection in its natural host in the Americas. This study aimed to develop and characterize a cell line from D.
