A fluorescence "turn-off-on" nanoprobe is designed by using europium-doped strontium molybdate perovskite quantum dots (Eu:SMO PQDs) for the sequential detection of hypoxanthine (Hx) and Fe. The Eu:SMO PQDs were prepared by the sol-gel method using Sr(NO), (NH)MoO.4HO, and Eu(OCOCH) as precursors.

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurodegenerative disease characterized by progressive motor neuron loss, microgliosis, and neuroinflammation. While pyroptosis, an inflammatory form of programmed cell death, has been implicated in ALS, the specific role of Gasdermin D (GSDMD) - the primary executioner of pyroptosis - remains unexplored. In this study, we examined the function of GSDMD in the well-established SOD1 mouse model of ALS.

Article Synopsis
  • Individuals with ADHD are more likely to begin using substances during adolescence and struggle with substance use as adults, but the effects of psychosocial treatment for ADHD on substance use are not well understood.
  • In a study involving predominantly Latinx and Black rising ninth graders with ADHD, those who received a high-intensity treatment program were more likely to start using substances by the end of high school compared to those who received a lower intensity intervention.
  • The findings suggest that certain youths, particularly those with PTSD symptoms, may benefit from high-intensity treatment in terms of reduced substance use, highlighting the need for further research on the risks and benefits of ADHD treatments for different populations.

Background: Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) demonstrates unique developmental manifestations in adolescence with implications for optimized, age-appropriate treatment. This 10-year update is the third in a series of systematic reviews examining the efficacy and safety of adolescent ADHD treatments. We broadly examined efficacy on ADHD symptoms, impairments, and other reported outcomes.
