Background: After suffering for an average of 7 years before diagnosis, endometriosis patients are usually left with more questions than answers about managing their symptoms in the absence of a cure. To help women with endometriosis after their diagnosis, we developed an online support program combining user research, evidence-based medicine, and clinical expertise. Structured around CBT and the quality-of-life metrics from the EHP score, the program is designed to guide participants over a 3-month and is available in France.

To investigate neural correlates of negative valence in OCD, we pooled fMRI data of 633 individuals with OCD and 453 healthy controls from 16 studies using different negatively-valenced tasks across the ENIGMA-OCD Working-Group.
Methods: Participant data were processed uniformly using HALFpipe, to extract voxelwise participant-level statistical images of one common first-level contrast: negative vs.
Article Synopsis
- Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) shows therapeutic benefits for conditions like epilepsy and depression, but its mechanisms are not fully understood.
- Cervical vagus nerve biopsies revealed right-sided dominance and female predominance in fascicle numbers, alongside diverse fascicle sizes and structures.
- A new tool (HAPI) helped identify the different nerve action potentials from varied nerve fibers, offering insights that could improve VNS treatment strategies.
