Objectives: Older adults residing in residential aged care facilities (RACFs) are particularly vulnerable to negative health outcomes from polypharmacy and suboptimal prescribing in the context of frailty and multimorbidity. Deprescribing, the intentional withdrawal of inappropriate medications, has been proposed as a promising approach to reduce polypharmacy-related harms. Examining current deprescribing interventions in RACFs would help identify gaps in research knowledge.

Mutations in Commander are causative for Ritscher-Schinzel syndrome (RSS), a multiorgan developmental disease associated with a core triad of cerebellar-cardiac-craniofacial malformation. Here, using unbiased proteomics and computational modelling, we identify leucine rich melanocyte differentiation associated (LRMDA) as a novel Commander binding protein.

This protocol outlines an investigative study for individuals with OCD, exploring the potential of psilocybin to improve key components of cognition implicated in the disorder.
