- The study investigated whether smartphone camera data can effectively detect anemia in children aged 6 months to 18 years.
- Conducted at Haemek Medical Center, it involved 823 patients, with specific exclusions for certain nail conditions and discolorations to ensure accuracy.
- Results showed varying effectiveness of different smartphone models in identifying anemia, with enhanced performance when supplemented with synthetic data, indicating potential for future non-invasive anemia screening tools for kids.
Article Synopsis
- Borderline personality disorder (BPD) and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) share similar neurobiological features, suggesting that BPD might be better classified as "traumatic personality stress disorder" (TPSD).
- The study explores how psychedelic-assisted therapy (PAT) could effectively treat both BPD and PTSD, emphasizing its role in stabilizing reward functions.
- Reclassifying BPD as TPSD may lead to more personalized treatment approaches, reduce stigma, and improve understanding and management of related psychological conditions.
This study evaluates the neurocognitive and electrophysiological effects of 1-year memantine treatment in 14 adolescents and young adults (mean age 24 years) with sickle cell disease (SCD, incluing sickle cell anaemia and sickle cell β-thalassemia), hypothesizing improvements in cognitive functions and neural processing. Participants underwent assessments using subtests from the Wechsler Intelligence Scale and a computerized task-switching paradigm with concurrent event-related potential (ERP) recordings, both before and after the treatment period. Assessments focused on processing speed, working memory, attention and executive function.
