Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on the challenges faced during the transition from pediatric to adult health services, particularly in mental health, highlighting a lack of standardized processes.
- Qualitative interviews with child and adolescent psychiatrists (CAPs) and adult psychiatrists (APs) in Lisbon revealed that many young patients transition informally, relying on various stakeholders without a formal protocol.
- Participants acknowledged the importance of improving communication and strategies between pediatric and adult services to enhance care continuity, with some realizing the issue's significance for the first time.
Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is adapting to continuous presence in humans. Transitions to endemic infection patterns are associated with changes in the spike (S) proteins that direct virus-cell entry. These changes generate antigenic drift and thereby allow virus maintenance in the face of prevalent human antiviral antibodies.

- Emotion dysregulation is common among people with various mental health issues, and the study explores how a method called "focusing" can help regulate emotions through immersion and distancing techniques.
- Participants aged 18 to 65 will be divided into an intervention group receiving two focusing sessions and a control group that will wait four weeks for their sessions, with evaluations conducted five times throughout the study.
- Ethics approval has been obtained, and results will be shared through publications and presentations, with the trial registered under ISRCTN16974329.
Tropical floodplain lakes are increasingly impacted by human activities, yet their pathways of spatial and temporal degradation, particularly under varying hydrological connectivity regimes and climate change, remain poorly understood. This study examines surface-sediment samples and Pb-dated sediment cores from six floodplain lakes, representing a gradient in hydrological connectivity in the lower Magdalena River Basin, Colombia. We analysed temporal and spatial variations in several sediment biogeochemical indicators: the concentration and flux of nutrients, heavy metals, and organic matter (OM), and redox conditions, flooding and erosion.
