Purpose: The primary challenge in infant care is developing a comprehensive, rapid, and reliable assessment tool that is minimally dependent on subjective evaluations and applicable in various inpatient settings. This study aims to develop and assess the structural validity of the Infant Nursing Assessment Scale (INA), enabling a comprehensive evaluation of hospitalized newborns and infants.
Design And Methods: A development and validation study based on cross-sectional design was undertaken.
Rationale: Working memory impairment is a prominent feature of schizophrenia which predicts clinical and functional outcomes. Preclinical data suggest histamine-3 receptor (H3R) expression in cortical pyramidal neurons may have a role in working memory, and post-mortem data has found disruptions of H3R expression in schizophrenia.
Objectives: We examined the role of H3R in vivo to elucidate its role on working memory impairment in schizophrenia.
Although both central and peripheral inflammation have been observed consistently in depression, the relationship between the two remains obscure. Extra-axial immune cells may play a role in mediating the connection between central and peripheral immunity. This study investigates the potential roles of calvarial bone marrow and parameningeal spaces in mediating interactions between central and peripheral immunity in depression.

- Biomarkers in psychiatry are essential for better diagnosis and management, and radionuclide imaging (PET and SPECT) shows potential for practical use, particularly in schizophrenia-spectrum disorders.
- A systematic review evaluated 56 longitudinal studies involving 1,329 patients, focusing on the impact of PET and SPECT imaging on diagnosis and treatment personalization.
- Key findings indicated that PET and SPECT can predict treatment responses and optimize dosages of antipsychotic medications, highlighting the need for more clinical trials to confirm these benefits.
Article Synopsis
- Stroke is a leading cause of disability and death worldwide, with many survivors requiring extensive caregiving support, which can lead to caregiver burden and health issues.
- The study explored the experiences of caregivers of older stroke survivors, focusing on their expectations during the transitional home program, an area that lacks extensive research.
- Four key themes emerged: the emotional loss felt by caregivers, the vital role of social support, the increased workload for caregivers, and a general lack of awareness about caregiving needs during the transition period.
