Background: Impulsivity symptoms have been studied thoroughly in adults with ADHD, including hasty actions and decisions without considering possible consequences. The objective of our study was to investigate impulsive buying and deferment of gratification among adults with ADHD and a comparison group.
Method: The participants were 225 adults with ADHD and 121 university students who completed the Buying Impulsiveness Scale (BIS), the Deferment of Gratification Questionnaire (DOGQ), the Adult ADHD Rating Scale-IV (ADHD-RS), as well as background questions.
Cerebral cavernous malformation (CCM) is a neurovascular disease with symptoms such as strokes, hemorrhages and neurological deficits. With surgery being the only treatment strategy, understanding the molecular mechanisms of CCM is crucial in finding alternative therapeutic options for CCM. Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) were recently reported in CCM, and NETs were shown to have positive or negative effects in different disease contexts.

- The study aimed to find protein signatures in blood that could help identify individuals at high risk for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), specifically Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis.
- Researchers analyzed blood samples from a large population, utilizing machine-learning methods to identify and validate these protein signatures across multiple cohorts.
- A specific combination of 29 proteins was effective in differentiating preclinical CD cases from controls, achieving a high accuracy, while the prediction for ulcerative colitis was less robust but still significant.
Managing the neuroinflammatory pain of endometriosis in light of chronic pelvic pain.

Introduction: Endometriosis affects 5% to 10% of reproductive age women and may be associated with severely painful and debilitating symptoms as well as infertility. Endometriosis involves hormonal fluctuations, angiogenesis, neurogenesis, vascular changes and neuroinflammatory processes. The neuroinflammatory component of endometriosis makes it a systemic disorder, similar to other chronic epithelial inflammatory conditions.

- This study investigated whether foot posture and ankle dorsiflexion are modifiable risk factors for developing Achilles tendinopathy (AT) and plantar fasciitis (PF) among active individuals.* -
- Results showed that abnormal foot posture, particularly hyperpronation, significantly increased the risk of both injuries, whereas decreased ankle dorsiflexion was not a contributing factor.* -
- The study also found demographic differences: PF predominantly affected women and younger individuals, while AT was more common in men with no significant variations in BMI or overall physical activity levels between the two groups.*
