Background: The association between heatwave and heat-related outcomes in people with mental health conditions with and without psychotropics was unclear.

Methods: We identified people with severe mental illness (SMI) and depression, respectively, using Japanese claim data of Ibaraki prefecture during 1/1/2014-31/12/2021. We conducted self-controlled case series to estimate the incidence rate ratio (IRR) of heat-related illness, myocardial infarction and delirium, respectively, during 5-day pre-heatwave, heatwave, and 5-day post-heatwave periods all other periods (baseline) within an individual, stratified by periods prescribed psychotropics and periods not prescribed psychotropics, respectively.

Objectives: This study investigated the relationship between health checkups, cervical cancer screenings, and breast cancer screenings (collectively referred to as wellness examinations) of wives and health checkups of their husbands. We aimed to develop strategies to encourage wellness examinations among married individuals in Japan.

Methods: This study used the 2019 Comprehensive Survey of Living Conditions, focusing on married couples aged 40-64.

Article Synopsis
  • Stage III NSCLC accounts for about one-third of lung cancer cases, but detailed data on its distribution and treatment in Brazil is lacking.
  • A study, RELANCE/LACOG 0118, analyzed 403 patients with stage III NSCLC across 13 cancer centers, focusing on their demographics, treatment, and survival outcomes from 2015 to 2021.
  • Results show that patients with public health insurance face later diagnoses and worse overall survival, indicating a need for improved health policies to ensure timely diagnosis and access to treatment in Brazil.*

Preparation of a redox-frustrated high-energy-density energetic material is achieved by gentle protolysis of Mn[N(SiMe)] with the perchlorate salt of the tetrazolamide [HNBuMeTz]ClO (Tz = tetrazole), yielding the MnN hexagonal prismatic cluster, Mn(μ-NTzBuMe)(ClO). Quantum mechanics-based molecular dynamics simulations of the decomposition of this molecule predict that magnetic ordering of the Mn ions influences the pathway and rates of decomposition, suggesting that the initiation of decomposition of the bulk material might be significantly retarded by an applied magnetic field. We report here experimental tests of the prediction showing that the presence of a 0.
