Article Synopsis
- - Antisecretory medications, especially proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), help reduce gastrointestinal risks like upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB) linked to NSAIDs and aspirin use, commonly taken in the U.S.
- - Health professionals recommend PPIs for patients who are at a high risk for UGIB due to their effectiveness in providing gastrointestinal protection.
- - The study investigates current trends in the prescribing of antisecretory medications for patients at high risk for UGIB, comparing this to prescribing patterns for patients with acid-related disorders.
Article Synopsis
- Researchers wanted to see how willing people with HIV are to join studies that temporarily stop their medication to test cures.
- They asked 75 people about their thoughts and worries regarding these studies, finding that many wanted to help science but were most concerned about the risk of passing on HIV to others.
- Most participants preferred to have regular check-ups and wanted to talk to their doctor before joining any study that involved taking a break from their treatment.
Neurocognitive assessment tools have been proposed to optimize, maintain, and improve perceptual-cognitive performance. Here, we investigated the feasibility and efficacy of a novel neurofeedback system, neuroMoon (nM), on cognitive abilities compared with one of the most popular perceptual-cognitive training (PCT) tools both in sports and rehabilitation called NeuroTracker (NT). Thirty-one young athletes performed a comprehensive battery of cognitive tests from the Vienna Test System before and after a 12-session computer-based cognitive training program using nM (n = 11, age 22.

As SARS-CoV-2 variants encoding mutations in the surface glycoprotein, Spike, continue to emerge, there is increased need to identify immunogens and vaccination regimens that provide the broadest and most durable immune responses. We compared the magnitude and breadth of the neutralizing antibody response, as well as levels of Spike-reactive memory B cells, in individuals receiving a second dose of BNT162b2 at a short (3-4 week) or extended interval (8-12 weeks) and following a third vaccination approximately 6-8 months later.

This article presents the early development process of an open-source mobile robot platform-named PlatypOUs-which can be remotely controlled via an electromyography (EMG) appliance using the MindRove brain-computer interface (BCI) headset as a sensor for the purpose of signal acquisition. The gathered bio-signals are classified by a Support Vector Machine (SVM) whose results are translated into motion commands for the mobile platform.
