Background: Part of the people who radicalize suffer from psychiatric symptoms and some of the people who resort to extremist violence have previously been in contact with mental health services. The question is how psychopathological characteristics can influence radicalization and what mental health professionals can do about this.

Aim: Provide insight into the interaction between psychopathology, radicalization, extremism and how mental health professionals can integrate vulnerabilities into treatment.

Shift work can cause circadian misalignment, which often results in sleeping problems and has been associated with immune dysfunction. To better understand the impact of shift work on a primary immune response to vaccination, we compared severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2)-specific humoral and cellular immune responses after one injection of the messenger RNA (mRNA)-1273 vaccine between day workers (n = 24) and night shift workers (n = 21). In addition, duration and quality of sleep were assessed for a period of 7 days around the time of vaccination using actigraphy and daily sleep diaries, and their relationship with immunogenicity of mRNA-1273 vaccination was studied.

Background: Netherton syndrome (NS) is a rare, severe genetic skin disorder, currently classified as an inborn error of immunity (IEI) due to previously reported immune dysregulation. We recently reported the results of an immunological evaluation showing no evidence for a relevant B- and/or T-cell mediated immunodeficiency, but immune responses after vaccination were not evaluated in that study. Therefore, we evaluated immune responses to three vaccine platforms in adult NS patients to further investigate the presence of a clinically relevant B- and/or T-cell immunodeficiency.

Article Synopsis
  • * Researchers used intestine-specific TRPM6 knockout mice to examine magnesium absorption after a 4-day omeprazole treatment, finding that these knockout mice had lower Mg absorption and serum levels compared to control mice.
  • * Ultimately, the results suggest that TRPM6 isn't impacted by short-term PPI use for magnesium absorption in the intestines, as no significant changes in magnesium homeostasis were observed.
