Background: Trace amine-associated receptor 1 (TAAR1) agonists offer a new approach, but there is uncertainty regarding their effects, exact mechanism of action and potential role in treating psychosis.
Aims: To evaluate the available evidence on TAAR1 agonists in psychosis, using triangulation of the output of living systematic reviews (LSRs) of animal and human studies, and provide recommendations for future research prioritisation.
Method: This study is part of GALENOS (Global Alliance for Living Evidence on aNxiety, depressiOn and pSychosis).
Angiosarcoma is a rare and aggressive malignancy of endothelial cells with multiple subtypes. Foamy cell angiosarcoma is a rare variant in which endothelial cells demonstrate "foamy" cytoplasmic change. We present the case of a 59-year-old male who presented with progressive erythema and swelling of the midface and bilateral eyelids.

- Spirometry is a test used to evaluate lung function by comparing it to normal levels in healthy non-smokers, focusing on metrics like forced vital capacity (FVC) and the FEV/FVC ratio.
- The study analyzed data from over 14,000 participants aged 40 and older across 41 sites, revealing regional differences in FVC tied to factors like age and height, categorized into four regions: Europe/richer countries, Near East, Africa, and Far East.
- Findings showed significant regional variations in FVC values between men and women, particularly in Europe compared to the Far East, but minimal differences in the FEV/FVC ratio across regions.
Article Synopsis
- Mell 1913 is a butterfly species unique to China, primarily found in forest canopies, and its mitochondrial genome has been sequenced, revealing a typical butterfly gene arrangement.
- The mitochondrial genome comprises 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNAs, and 2 rRNAs, with notable aspects such as atypical start codons and completing stop codons inferred from the mRNA.
- Phylogenetic analysis indicates that Mell 1913's mitogenome is closely related to other butterflies in the Coliadinae subfamily, supporting some previous molecular studies while challenging a morphology-based hypothesis on its relationships.
The experiences of visually impaired military veterans with Charles Bonnet syndrome.

Background: Charles Bonnet syndrome (CBS) refers to the experience of visual hallucinations occurring secondary to sight loss. Although there is an increasing amount of research on this phenomenon, CBS remains a lesser-known outcome of visual impairment, with limited research into the impact on the patient.
Objectives: To explore the experiences and opinions of visually impaired military veterans with CBS regarding the impact of visual hallucinations.
