Article Synopsis
  • People with schizophrenia have lower levels of butyrate-producing bacteria in their gut, which is important for gut health and reducing inflammation.
  • This study involved 27 participants with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder, who underwent a 10-day trial testing the effects of an oligofructose-enriched inulin prebiotic (OEI) against a placebo.
  • Results showed that those who received OEI had higher levels of plasma butyrate and more participants meeting the responder criteria compared to the placebo group, indicating the prebiotic may benefit gut health in these individuals.

Introduction: Clozapine is the most effective antipsychotic for treatment-resistant schizophrenia, but it is markedly underutilized, particularly in the US Black population, partly because of concern over clozapine-associated low absolute neutrophil count (ANC). People of African descent have a lower normative ANC range than the White population, which is associated with a specific "ACKR1-null" ("Duffy null") CC genotype (SNP rs2814778) on the ACKR1 gene, termed benign ethnic neutropenia (BEN). The range of ANC variability and safety of clozapine have not been established in people with BEN or examined prospectively in people of African descent.

Patients from low-income, minoritized communities have limited access to outpatient breastfeeding support with International Board Certified Lactation Consultants (IBCLCs). Telelactation may increase access particularly when appointments can be self-scheduled. To describe a medical center-based, outpatient breastfeeding support program that includes telelactation and serves a diverse patient population.

Despite iterative learning design being increasingly implemented, such approaches are often delineated by well-defined periods of design/implementation. However, second-order cybernetics, which suggests a participatory approach to learning design, involves responsively adapting learning environments to meet students' needs, treating them as agentic participants in the classroom. In our mixed methods study, we investigate whether such a process can facilitate egalitarian participation and collaborative interactions in a technology-assisted classroom.
