Importance: Evidence suggests that trauma-related mortality and morbidities may follow a multiphasic pattern, with outcomes extending beyond hospital discharge.

Objectives: To determine the incidence of having new mental health conditions after the first (or index) trauma admission and their association with long-term health outcomes.

Design, Setting, And Participants: This population-based, linked-data cohort study was conducted between January 1994 and September 2020, with data analyzed in April 2024.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is characterized by the loss of neuromelanin (NM)-containing dopaminergic (DA) neurons in the substantia nigra (SN) pars compacta (SNpc) and the buildup of α-synuclein (α-syn) inclusions, called Lewy bodies. To investigate the roles of NM and α-syn in DA neuron degeneration, we modeled PD by inducing NM accumulation in a humanized α-syn mouse model (Snca; PAC-Tg(SNCA)) via the expression of human tyrosinase in the SN. We found that this mouse strain develops naturally progressive motor dysfunction and dopaminergic neuronal loss in the SN with aging.

The contribution of IL-10 secreted by tumoral B cells to the progression and shaping of the microenvironment in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) with activated B-cell (ABC) phenotype is not yet completely understood. To shed light on this issue, we generated an immunocompetent mouse model of ABC-DLBCL with conditional knock-out of IL-10 specifically in malignant B cells. Paradoxically, these mice had significantly worse overall survival when left untreated, but experienced increased sensitivity to conventional anti-CD20 immunotherapy or regulatory T cell (Treg) depletion.

Nature-based interventions (NBIs) are becoming a common mental health care referral option; however, little is known about the barriers to participation. Research reveals a concentration of evidence on the practical barriers with a paucity of guidance on the personal barriers as experienced by service users. This review explores what is known on the psychological, psychosocial and physical barriers as disclosed by adult mental health service users and the various stakeholders involved in NBI.

Objective: Fibronectin type III domain-containing protein 5 (FNDC5) modulates adipocyte metabolism by increasing white and brown adipose tissue (WAT and BAT) browning and activity, respectively. We investigated whether FNDC5 can regulate visceral WAT and BAT adaptive thermogenesis by improving mitochondrial homeostasis in response to cold and obesity.

Methods: Adipose tissue expression of FNDC5 and factors involved in mitochondrial homeostasis were determined in patients with normal weight and obesity (n = 159) and in rats with diet-induced obesity after 1 week of cold exposure (n = 61).
