Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of a dexamethasone intracanalicular insert (DEX) for treating allergic conjunctivitis (AC) in adults, comparing it to a placebo.
- 96 participants were randomized into two groups (DEX and placebo) and underwent allergen challenges to assess symptoms like ocular itching and redness over 30 days.
- Results showed that the DEX insert significantly reduced eye itching and redness compared to placebo without serious side effects, indicating it might be a safe and effective treatment option for AC.
Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the reproducibility of fMRI findings related to motor speech function by analyzing data from a word repetition task performed by 14 healthy controls across two time points.
- Significant brain activation was noted in areas like the right cerebellum and sensorimotor cortices, with moderate reproducibility in the cerebellum but less consistency in other regions.
- The results suggest key regions involved in motor speech but indicate that further research is necessary to establish fMRI as a dependable measure of brain activity changes.
Up to half of all people with multiple sclerosis experience communication difficulties due to dysarthria, a disorder that impacts the motor aspects of speech production. Dysarthria in multiple sclerosis is linked to cerebellar dysfunction, disease severity and lesion load, but the neuroanatomical substrates of these symptoms remain unclear. In this study, 52 participants with multiple sclerosis and 14 age- and sex-matched healthy controls underwent structural and diffusion MRI, clinical assessment of disease severity and cerebellar dysfunction and a battery of motor speech tasks.

Evidence shows that the Covid-19 pandemic caused increased loneliness, anxiety and greater social isolation due to social distancing policies. Virtual reality (VR) provides users with an easy way to become engaged in social activities without leaving the house. This study focused on adults, who were socialising in Altspace VR, a social VR platform, during the Covid-19 pandemic and it explored whether social VR could alleviate feelings of loneliness and social anxiety.
