Article Synopsis
- - The study focuses on bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), a common chronic respiratory issue in infants, particularly those born preterm, highlighting the lack of consistent clinical care guidelines.
- - A survey of 27 BPD programs revealed significant variability in outpatient care, including referral processes, services offered, follow-up echocardiograms, and discharge criteria.
- - The authors advocate for the creation of comprehensive clinical guidelines for BPD, similar to those for asthma and cystic fibrosis, to standardize care and potentially improve long-term health outcomes.
Article Synopsis
- Herbivorous insects significantly impact nutrient cycling in forests, with tropical forests experiencing more nutrient release from these insects compared to temperate and boreal forests.
- The study utilized a global network of 74 plots in mature forests to analyze various leaf compositions and nutrient fluxes influenced by insect herbivory.
- Results indicate that increasing temperatures can enhance these interactions, thus influencing global biogeochemical cycles and altering ecosystem dynamics in broadleaved forests.
Article Synopsis
- The study explored how socioeconomic status (SES) indicators like education and job type relate to alcohol use among individuals with mental health issues.
- It utilized data from the 2014 Adult Psychiatric Morbidity Survey, analyzing 1,436 participants to categorize them into SES classes and assess their alcohol consumption patterns.
- The findings revealed distinct SES classes, with those labeled "economically inactive, GCSE-level and lower educated, social renters" showing the highest likelihood of being non-drinkers, while "retired, no formal education, homeowners" were less likely to engage in hazardous drinking.
The optimum treatment for persistent infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is not known. Our case series, across 5 hospitals in 3 countries, describes 11 cases where persistent SARS-CoV-2 infection was successfully treated with prolonged courses (median, 10 days [range, 10-18 days]) of nirmatrelvir/ritonavir (Paxlovid). Most cases (9/11) had hematological malignancy and 10 (10/11) had received CD20-depleting therapy.

While it is known that drinking patterns change over time, the reasons for this among those with a SMI are unclear. This study aimed to (i) explore the experiences with alcohol, particularly in relation to mental health symptoms, and (ii) how drinking patterns have changed over time, among individuals who have a SMI diagnosis, who either currently drink alcohol or no longer drink.
