Professionals have traditionally accomplished rehabilitative program development at public inpatient psychiatric facilities with limited input from program users. This report describes initial results and observations associated with the introduction of a user-controlled decision-making council built into the program development design of an evolving treatment mall at a state facility. Participant productivity and the satisfaction expressed by participants with regards to this approach captured the attention of staff facilitators and clinical managers, providing a sound basis for future impact studies.

Advancing ex vivo functional whole-organ prostate gland model for regeneration and drug screening.
Sci Rep
January 2025
Molecular Biology and Stem Cell Research Lab, Centre for Molecular and Nanomedical Sciences, International Research Centre, Sathyabama Institute of Science & Technology, Chennai, Tamilnadu, India.
Model organisms are vital for biomedical research and drug testing but face high costs, complexity, and ethical issues. While newer techniques like organoids and assembloids have shown improvements, they still remain inadequate in addressing all research needs. In this study, we present a new method for maintaining the prostate gland of the earthworm, Eudrilus eugeniae ex vivo and examine its potential for regeneration and drug screening.

Opuntia ficus-indica (OFi) is a major fruit source prevalent in semiarid and arid regions across various countries worldwide. It is widely recognised for its potential health benefits; however, most studies investigating its effects have been limited to pre-clinical models, highlighting the need for further validation through clinical trials. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of OFi supplementation in enhancing antioxidant levels.

Busy walking paths, like in a park, city centre, or shopping mall, frequently necessitate collision avoidance behaviour. Lab-based research has shown how different situation- and person-specific factors, typically studied independently, affect avoidance behaviour. What happens in the real world is unclear.

Objective: Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is the most common cause of chronic liver disease, especially in patients with severe obesity. However, current mouse models for MASLD do not reflect the polygenetic background nor the metabolic changes in this population. Therefore, we investigated two novel mouse models of MASLD with a polygenetic background for the metabolic syndrome.

Background: Adjuvant endocrine therapy (AET) is prescribed for 5-10 years to women with hormone-sensitive breast cancer to prevent recurrence. However, a significant proportion of women do not adhere to AET. We developed SOIE, a one-year program designed to enhance the AET experience and adherence.
