n-3 PUFAs are essential for neuronal development and brain function. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying their biological effects remain unclear. Here we examined the mechanistic action of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), the most abundant n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids in the brain.

- This study investigates the risk factors for "delayed neuropsychiatric sequelae (DNS)" following acute carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning, focusing on 79 patients treated for CO poisoning in Japan.
- Predictors of DNS included serious consciousness disturbances at admission, specific head CT findings, high levels of certain laboratory markers, and low Global Assessment Scale scores.
- Prolonged hospital stays and more hyperbaric oxygen therapy sessions were noted in patients who developed DNS, suggesting the need for proactive treatment and follow-up care for these high-risk individuals.
