Cumulative data indicate that new protocols of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) may induce neuroplasticity and improve clinical symptoms of patients suffering from posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The aim of the current study was to evaluate the effects of HBOT on veterans with combat-associated PTSD (CA-PTSD) in a randomized, sham-controlled trial. Male veterans aged 25-60 years with CA-PTSD, with a Clinician-Administered PTSD Scale for (CAPS-5) score above 20, were included.

Design: Matched cohort study.
Setting: Public healthcare during pregnancy and childbirth, Stockholm, Sweden.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the relationship between health risks and epigenetic aging using data from individuals followed from age 9 to 35, focusing on psychiatric, lifestyle, and adversity factors.
- Concurrent analyses found a significant link between BMI and epigenetic aging at the individual level, but not at the timepoint level; lagged analyses revealed that depressive symptoms during adolescence predict accelerated epigenetic aging in adulthood.
- The findings suggest that while immediate changes in health risks do not accelerate biological aging, childhood experiences—especially depressive symptoms—can have long-term effects on epigenetic aging, highlighting the need for further research on these relationships over time.
Article Synopsis
- Scientists found that anesthesia during childbirth can change the DNA tags in newborn babies' blood, which is called the methylome.
- They noticed that different types of anesthesia, like laughing gas and pudendal block, affected different blood cells in babies.
- This study is important because it helps us understand how pain relief given to moms during delivery might have an impact on their newborns' biology.
Objectives: The use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is safe from a long-term perspective since there are no known cumulative risks for patients or personnel. However, the technique comes with several acute risks associated with the powerful electromagnetic fields that are necessary to produce medical images. These risks include, among other things, a projectile hazard, loud noise, and the risk of heating.
