Neglect and adolescent internalizing mental health: Testing competing longitudinal hypotheses.

Neglect remains understudied compared to other forms of maltreatment. While studies have shown that neglect has negative effects on mental health in adolescence, yet unresolved is whether these impacts result from critical period or cumulative effects. In the present article, we use a novel approach to compare these two hypotheses from the impact of two types of neglect, failure to provide (FTP) and lack of supervision (LOS), on adolescent depression and internalizing symptoms.

Nurse-delivered brief behavioral treatment for insomnia in cancer survivors: a randomized controlled trial.

Purpose: To determine the efficacy of nurse-delivered brief behavioral treatment for insomnia (BBTI) compared to an attention control, in a heterogeneous sample of cancer survivors to reduce insomnia symptom severity.

Methods: We recruited 132 participants from cancer care clinics, who had an Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) score ≥ 8. Participants were randomized into two groups: an experimental BBTI group and a healthy eating attention control group.

Determinants of long-term paramagnetic rim lesion evolution in people with multiple sclerosis.

Objective: Baseline paramagnetic rim lesion (PRL) load predicts disease progression in people with multiple sclerosis (pwMS). Understanding how PRLs relate to other known MS-related factors, and the practical utility of PRLs in clinical trials, is crucial for informing clinical decision-making and guiding development of novel disease-modifying treatments (DMTs).

Methods: This study included 152 pwMS enrolled in a larger prospective, longitudinal cohort study who had 3T MRI scans and clinical assessments at baseline and 5- or 10-year follow-ups.

Associations Between Paramagnetic Rim Lesion Evolution and Clinical and Radiologic Disease Progression in Persons With Multiple Sclerosis.

Background And Objectives: Recent technological advances have enabled visualizing in vivo a subset of chronic active brain lesions in persons with multiple sclerosis (pwMS), referred to as "paramagnetic rim lesions" (PRLs), with iron-sensitive MRI. PRLs predict future clinical disease progression, making them a promising clinical and translational imaging marker. However, it is unknown how disease progression is modified by PRL evolution (PRL disappearance, new PRL appearance).

Lithium Aspartate for Long COVID Fatigue and Cognitive Dysfunction: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

Importance: Neurologic post-COVID-19 condition (PCC), or long COVID, symptoms of fatigue and cognitive dysfunction continue to affect millions of people who have been infected with SARS-CoV-2. There currently are no effective evidence-based therapies available for treating neurologic PCC.

Objective: To assess the effects of lithium aspartate therapy on PCC fatigue and cognitive dysfunction.
