Background: Information sharing and information privacy are important issues in mental health services. Yet the perspectives of Australians who access mental health services about these issues are poorly understood. This article addresses the research question: What are the concerns of people who use mental health services about the collection and use of their health information in mental health and related systems in Australia?

Methods: Participants were 16 people who had accessed mental health services and were involved in a series of co-design workshops as part of a larger study.

Introduction: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most prevalent neurodegenerative disease, yet our comprehension predominantly relies on studies within non-Hispanic White (NHW) populations. Here we provide an extensive survey of the proteomic landscape of AD across diverse racial/ethnic groups.

Methods: Two cortical regions, from multiple centers, were harmonized by uniform neuropathological diagnosis.

Introduction: Multi-omics studies in Alzheimer's disease (AD) revealed many potential disease pathways and therapeutic targets. Despite their promise of precision medicine, these studies lacked Black Americans (BA) and Latin Americans (LA), who are disproportionately affected by AD.

Methods: To bridge this gap, Accelerating Medicines Partnership in Alzheimer's Disease (AMP-AD) expanded brain multi-omics profiling to multi-ethnic donors.

Article Synopsis
  • Ecdysteroids are critical hormones in insects that influence various biological processes, but their breakdown mechanisms are not well understood, with only a few related genes identified so far.
  • The study investigates two ecdysteroid kinase-like genes (Wall and pkm) in fruit flies to determine their roles, revealing that these genes are not crucial for development or reproduction but may have other functions.
  • Misexpression of the Wall gene leads to severe developmental issues, suggesting it may interact with a yet-to-be-identified ecdysteroid involved in Drosophila development, shedding light on unexplored areas of insect hormone regulation.
