Background: Depressive disorders are a major public health issue in Western societies, particularly among adolescents, young adults and women. The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated mental health challenges, increasing depression and anxiety symptoms, especially in younger people. This study focuses on the hard-hit Emilia-Romagna Region (ERR) in Italy, examining changes in antidepressant (AD) drug use post-COVID-19 to understand the pandemic's effect on mental health.

- Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections for knee osteoarthritis (OA) are becoming common, but the effect of leukocytes in PRP remains debated, with some studies showing they could be harmful while others suggest they have beneficial roles.
- This study aimed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of leukocyte-rich PRP (LR-PRP) versus leukocyte-poor PRP (LP-PRP) in treating knee OA through a randomized controlled trial involving 132 patients with varying degrees of OA.
- Results showed improvements in both subjective and objective outcomes for all patients, with LR-PRP demonstrating greater benefits in the IKDC subjective score and range of motion at earlier follow-up points compared to LP-PRP,
Article Synopsis
- - This paper examines how positive bias temperature instability (PBTI) affects the threshold voltage shift (ΔV) in silicon carbide (SiC) power MOSFETs at high temperatures (150 °C).
- - Two primary mechanisms are identified for ΔV: trapping in existing defects at the interface and the formation of new oxide defects, which occur at a specific energy level (~80 meV).
- - Different methods of analysis show consistent patterns in ΔV degradation across various gate stress voltages, offering valuable insights for improving the reliability of SiC MOSFETs.
