Article Synopsis
- Adolescents with a history of conduct problems (CP) are more likely to use medical and psychiatric services, and this increase is linked to experiences of peer victimization and internalizing issues like anxiety and depression.
- The study analyzed data from 744 participants, assessing their CP history, service use, and related behaviors through questionnaires completed by themselves, their parents, and teachers.
- Results showed that peer victimization and internalizing problems play significant roles in the connection between CP and increased service use, and this impact is consistent across genders.
Article Synopsis
- Hyperpolarized carbon-13 (C) MRI can non-invasively evaluate how the brain metabolizes [1-C]pyruvate, revealing insights about enzymatic activities beyond the commonly studied lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH).
- After injecting hyperpolarized pyruvate, researchers detected cerebral carbon dioxide (CO) and bicarbonate (HCO3), allowing for brain pH measurements, which averaged 7.40 in a small sample of volunteers, indicating the method's reliability.
- The study also identified hyperpolarized [1-C]aspartate and alanine, suggesting additional metabolic pathways and localization of alanine to skeletal muscle, emphasizing
Objectives Access to stable, safe, and affordable housing is an important determinant of health and community integration among people living with mental illness. Previous studies on housing stability, housing satisfaction and residential preferences among people living with mental illness have primarily been conducted among those with extensive service use experiences. First-time mental health service users, and youth in particular, are likely to present with distinct housing needs.

Design And Setting: Parent survey data was compared with records of child head injury from the National Health Services Register (Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec, RAMQ) administrative database.
Participants: Children ( = 685) ages 6-9 with and without CD.
Multiple species of elephant endotheliotropic herpesvirus (EEHV) have caused fatal hemorrhagic disease in African () and Asian () elephants. To date, EEHV7 has been detected only in benign pulmonary and skin nodules and in saliva of African elephants and has not been associated with clinical illness. Low-level viremia due to EEHV7A was detected via qPCR in two subadult African elephants during routine surveillance.
