Early intervention in psychosis programs in Africa, Asia and Latin America; challenges and recommendations.

Background: While early intervention in psychosis (EIP) programs have been increasingly implemented across the globe, many initiatives from Africa, Asia and Latin America are not widely known. The aims of the current review are (a) to describe population-based and small-scale, single-site EIP programs in Africa, Asia and Latin America, (b) to examine the variability between programs located in low-and-middle income (LMIC) and high-income countries in similar regions and (c) to outline some of the challenges and provide recommendations to overcome existing obstacles.

Methods: EIP programs in Africa, Asia and Latin America were identified through experts from the different target regions.

"Just-in-time" but a bit delayed: Personalizing digital nudges for healthier online food choices.

As food choices are increasingly made in contexts such as online supermarkets, nudging has been extrapolated to the digital sphere. Digitalization poses unique opportunities to enhance the promotion of healthier food choices online: Digital nudges can be delivered "just-in-time" (JIT), in response to the initial selection of an unhealthy product. Furthermore, digital JIT nudges can be personalized to match user characteristics of behavioral relevance, such as one's food and cognitive processing preferences.

Duration of Antibiotic Treatment for Foot Osteomyelitis in People with Diabetes.

The optimal antimicrobial treatment duration for diabetes-related foot osteomyelitis (DFO) currently needs to be determined. We systematically reviewed the effects of short and long treatment durations on outcomes of DFO. We performed a systematic review searching Cochrane, CENTRAL, MEDLINE, Embase, and CINAHL Plus from inception up to 19 January 2024.

When trauma bites back: a systematic review on direct orofacial macrotrauma and temporomandibular disorders.

Objectives: Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) are musculoskeletal conditions with a multifactorial aetiology. The predictive role of direct orofacial macrotrauma in the development of TMD is considered controversial. This systematic review aims to elucidate the association between direct orofacial macrotrauma and TMD, and to identify potential factors involved in this relationship.

OligoDistiller: A Platform Agnostic Software Tool for MS and MS Data Analysis of Complex Oligonucleotides and Their Impurities.

Oligonucleotides are currently one of the most rapidly advancing classes of therapeutic modalities. Understanding critical quality attributes, such as the impurity profile, stability, potential metabolites, and sequence conformity, is the key to their ultimate success. To obtain the information presented above, liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) is often employed.
