Centrosomes are the major microtubule organizing centers of animal cells. Supernumerary centrosomes are a common feature of human tumors and associated with karyotype abnormalities and aggressive disease, but whether they are cause or consequence of cancer remains controversial. Here, we analyzed the consequences of centrosome amplification by generating transgenic mice in which centrosome numbers can be increased by overexpression of the structural centrosome protein STIL.

- The study investigated how attentional bias modification (ABM) could help people vulnerable to depression by promoting focus on positive stimuli over negative ones.* -
- Participants in the ABM group showed an increase in emotional "inertia," but the findings were inconsistent and didn't clearly indicate that ABM was effective.* -
- Overall, the study found no significant effects of ABM on emotional dynamics or its relationship with depression symptoms after six months.*
Article Synopsis
- The study explores the challenges of integrating Digital Assistive Technologies (DATs) into nursing practice, highlighting the absence of structured education for care professionals in utilizing these technologies effectively.
- It introduces the SEQI education concept, which provides a 4-stage framework for training nursing staff on the application of DATs, aimed at improving patient care in long-term care facilities for older adults.
- Initial results show that care professionals were already open to using DATs, but the SEQI intervention enhanced their understanding and readiness to incorporate these technologies into their daily routines.
Article Synopsis
- Over-the-counter analgesics (OTCA) have been shown to affect emotional processing, potentially increasing anxiety and depression symptoms.
- The study investigates the relationship between OTCA use and attentional bias in women aged 19-30, revealing that those with high OTCA usage tended to avoid focusing on fearful stimuli more than those with low or no usage.
- The results suggest a need for further research into how high OTCA usage relates to attentional bias and emotional health.
