Despite its clinical significance, no treatment exists to date, as numerous pharmacological and non-pharmacological clinical trials have failed to demonstrate efficacy. Many of these trials evaluated negative symptoms as a single clinical construct.

Background: The appropriate use criteria for revascularization of stable ischemic heart disease have not been evaluated using randomized data. Using data from the randomized ISCHEMIA trial (International Study of Comparative Health Effectiveness with Medical and Invasive Approaches; July 2012 to January 2018, 37 countries), the health status benefits of an invasive strategy over a conservative one were examined within appropriate use criteria scenarios.
Methods: Among 1833 participants mapped to 36 appropriate use criteria scenarios, symptom status was assessed using the Seattle Angina Questionnaire-7 at 1 year for each scenario and for each of the 6 patient characteristics used to define the scenarios.
Background: Maintenance of the retina, part of the central nervous system, and other structures in the eye is critical for vision preservation. Aging increases the prevalence of vision impairment, including glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy. The retina is primarily maintained by glial cells; however, recent literature suggests that lymphocytes may play a role in the homeostasis of central nervous system tissues.

We sought to evaluate whether early intervention by gene supplementation therapy was safe and could improve outcomes in children with this condition.

Introduction: Identifying patients who will develop a need for right ventricular (RV) pacing after defibrillator (ICD) placement would help inform appropriate device selection, specifically to identify patients who might be more suitable for dual chamber or biventricular transvenous defibrillators versus single-chamber or subcutaneous devices which do not provide pacing. We sought to determine predictors of RV pacing in patients who did not have a pacing indication at the time of initial ICD implant.
Methods: This observational study assessed single-chamber ICD recipients implanted from 2006 to 2016 from Boston Scientific's ALTITUDE database and linked to the NCDR® ICD Registry.
Background: Left bundle branch area pacing (LBBAP) has been rapidly adopted despite a lack of leads with approved indications for LBBAP.
Objective: This study aims to analyze the performance of a 6Fr active fixation, stylet-driven lead in LBBAP.
Methods: The multicenter INSIGHT-LBBA registry analyzed consecutive LBBAP implant attempts with INGEVITY+ leads.

This study examined a range of socio-environmental risk factors associated with clusters of FEP, aiming a) to compare clusters of FEP and community controls using the Maudsley Environmental Risk Score for psychosis (ERS), a weighted sum of the following risks: paternal age, childhood adversities, cannabis use, and ethnic minority membership; b) to explore the putative differences in specific environmental risk factors in distinguishing within patient clusters and from controls.
Methods: A univariable general linear model (GLS) compared the ERS between 1,263 community controls and clusters derived from 802 FEP patients, namely, low (n = 223) and high-cognitive-functioning (n = 205), intermediate (n = 224) and deteriorating (n = 150), from the EU-GEI study.
Background: The increasing prevalence of mental health disorders among adolescents highlights the importance of early identification and intervention. Artemis-A is a web-based application of computerised adaptive testing (CAT), originally developed for secondary schools, to quickly and efficiently assess students' mental health. Due to its speed, reliability and accessibility, it may be a valuable tool for healthcare practitioners (HCPs) working with children and young people (CYP) in primary, community and potentially secondary care settings in the future.

We analyzed electronic medical records from 41,401 patients who received psychiatric services from one of 16 regional mental health centers operated by the South Carolina Department of Mental Health in 2022. We compared the use of first- and second-generation LAIs and oral antipsychotics by sociodemographic (age, gender, race/ethnicity, zip code, payment source) and clinical characteristics (psychiatric diagnoses, service use).

As a result, these events are often used to probe the nature of the strong force, improve Monte Carlo event generators, and search for deviations from standard model predictions. All previous measurements of Z boson production characterize the event properties using a small number of observables and present the results as differential cross sections in predetermined bins.

Improved carbon capture technologies that are driven by electrochemistry are under active development, and it was recently found that supercapacitor energy storage devices can reversibly capture and release carbon dioxide. So-called supercapacitive swing adsorption (SSA) has several advantages over traditional carbon dioxide capture technologies such as lower energy consumption and the use of nontoxic materials.

Time-driven activity-based costing (TDABC) is a method for nuanced cost analysis and is a valuable tool for strategic health-care decision-making. The aim of this study was to apply the TDABC methodology to RCR procedures to identify specific avenues to optimize cost-efficiency within the health-care system in 2 critical areas: (1) the reduction of variability in the episode duration, and (2) the standardization of suture anchor acquisition costs.

Prediction models currently employed in psychiatry rely on algorithms that map a statistical relationship between clinical features (predictors/risk factors) and subsequent clinical outcomes. They rely on associations that overlook the underlying causal structures within the data, including the presence of latent variables, and the evolution of predictors and outcomes over time.
