Objective: Xanomeline and trospium chloride (formerly known as KarXT), a novel M/M muscarinic receptor agonist, demonstrated efficacy across phase 2 and 3 trials as monotherapy for the treatment of inpatients with acute schizophrenia on the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale total score primary endpoint. In the phase 2 trial, xanomeline/trospium improved performance on a cognitive outcome measure in the subgroup of participants with clinically significant baseline cognitive impairment. The authors sought to confirm this finding using data from two phase 3 trials.

Article Synopsis
  • * A multicenter analysis involved 269 patients, reporting a high success rate (100% effective distal penetration), a low complication rate (2.2%), and significant improvements in cSDH diameter and neurological function at 60-day follow-up.
  • * The findings suggest that using MMA embolization with the n-BCA D5W push technique is a safe and viable option alongside or instead of traditional surgery, showing a reduction in recurrence

Environmental offsetting has been developed as a mechanism to facilitate the benefits from economic development while avoiding or minimizing environmental harm. This is achieved by compensating for environmental impacts at one location by generating equivalent environmental improvements elsewhere. However, experience with biodiversity and carbon offsetting indicates it can be difficult to ensure the integrity of offsets.

Background: Recent interest in how neural oscillations reflect the flow of information through the brain has led to partitioning electroencephalography (EEG) recordings into periodic (i.e., oscillatory) and aperiodic (i.

Article Synopsis
  • This study used machine learning to classify subtypes of schizophrenia by analyzing brain images from over 4,000 patients and healthy individuals through international collaboration.* -
  • Researchers identified two neurostructural subgroups: one with predominant cortical loss and enlarged striatum, and another with significant subcortical loss in areas like the hippocampus and striatum.* -
  • The findings suggest this new imaging-based classification could redefine schizophrenia based on biological similarities, enhancing our understanding and treatment of the disorder.*
