Objective: Avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID) is a feeding and eating disorder characterized by extensive avoidance and/or restriction of food. Existing research demonstrates that ARFID is over-represented in Autistic populations and vice-versa, with both groups exhibiting shared characteristics. This meta-analysis investigated the co-occurrence between ARFID and autism via determination of autism prevalence in ARFID populations, and ARFID prevalence in Autistic groups.

- Twisted two-dimensional (2D) material heterostructures allow researchers to explore unique physical phenomena, especially at small twist angles where crystals rearrange themselves.
- Understanding these complex materials requires advanced imaging techniques to visualize the local configurations, which can vary due to disorder.
- The study presents an effective method using electron channeling contrast imaging (ECCI) to non-destructively visualize these domains in twisted transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) heterostructures, even under encapsulation layers, enhancing insight into their properties.
Allergic contact dermatitis is a common, pruritic, debilitating skin disease, affecting at least 20% of the population. To prospectively validate a computer vision algorithm across all Fitzpatrick skin types. Each participant was exposed to 10 allergens.

The aim of this study was to examine differences in weight loss and the prevalence of weight regain between SG and RYGB up to 8 years after surgery.
Methods: Retrospective study including adult patients undergoing SG or RYGB between 2015 and 2018 at a tertiary center in Brazil.
Article Synopsis
- A new simplified method was developed to estimate total subarachnoid hemorrhage volume (SAHV) from noncontrast CT scans in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH).
- The study analyzed data from 277 patients and found that the new method provided comparable results to a traditional manual segmentation technique, with no significant differences in outcomes.
- Higher volumes of SAHV were linked to worse clinical outcomes and an increased risk of delayed cerebral ischemia, specifically with volumes greater than 10 mL indicating a higher risk.
