Article Synopsis
- Research shows that migrant status and ethnic minority background increase the risk of psychosis, but it's unclear if this also applies to subclinical psychosis.
- In a study with 460 participants, first and second-generation migrants, as well as certain ethnic minorities, reported higher levels of negative psychotic traits compared to a reference population.
- These findings suggest a connection between negative schizotypal traits and migrant/ethnic status, indicating a need for specific mental health interventions to support these groups and prevent the development of psychotic disorders.
Background: The Bari-SolidAct randomized controlled trial compared baricitinib with placebo in patients with severe COVID-19. A post hoc analysis revealed a higher incidence of serious adverse events (SAEs) among SARS-CoV-2-vaccinated participants who had received baricitinib. This sub-study aimed to investigate whether vaccination influences the safety profile of baricitinib in patients with severe COVID-19.

While the ventral pallidum is implicated in appetitive and consummatory responses across several reward classes and types of behaviors, its role in behavioral responses to Pavlovian alcohol cues has not previously been established. Here, we tested the impact of optogenetic inhibition of ventral pallidum on Pavlovian-conditioned alcohol-seeking in male Long Evans rats.

- PFAS, harmful substances in water, necessitate urgent remediation advancements, leading to the creation of a specialized 3D printed hydrogel designed to capture these contaminants effectively.* -
- The hydrogel is constructed from a specific combination of materials (DMU-Δ and PDM) using 3D printing techniques, resulting in various porous structures that exhibit impressive uptake capacities and rapid removal rates for PFAS.* -
- Tests reveal that one variant of the hydrogel can remove about 91% of PFAS from water in just 5 hours, and its efficiency is enhanced by adding positive charges, making these hydrogels a safe and promising solution for addressing PFAS pollution.*
