AI Article Synopsis
- The Illness Management and Recovery (IMR) program aims to teach self-management strategies to individuals with severe mental illnesses like schizophrenia and has been packaged for easier distribution.
- Despite its dissemination, the program has not yet undergone thorough empirical validation.
- Pilot data from the U.S. and Australia show high participant satisfaction and significant improvements in coping skills, functioning, and knowledge about mental illness, indicating the program’s potential benefits and the need for more controlled research.
Article Abstract
The Illness Management and Recovery (IMR) program was developed based on a comprehensive review of research on teaching illness self-management strategies to clients with schizophrenia and other severe mental illnesses and "packaged" in a resource kit to facilitate dissemination. Despite growing dissemination of this program, it has not yet been empirically validated. This article describes the development and theoretical underpinnings of the IMR program and presents pilot data from the United States and Australia (N = 24, 88% schizophrenia or schizoaffective) on the effects of individual-based and group-based treatment over the 9-month program and over a 3-month follow-up. High satisfaction was reported by participants. Strong improvements over treatment and at follow-up were found in clients' self-reported effectiveness in coping with symptoms and clinicians' reports of global functioning and moderate improvements in knowledge about mental illness, distress related to symptoms, hope, and goal orientation. These findings support the feasibility and promise of the IMR program and point to the need for controlled research to rigorously evaluate its effects.

Neuroblastoma response to RAS-MAPK inhibitors and APR-246 (eprenetapopt) co-treatment is dependent on SLC7A11.

Background: We previously demonstrated that APR-246 (eprenetapopt) could be an efficient treatment option against neuroblastoma (NB), the most common pediatric extracranial solid tumor. APR-246's mechanism of action is not completely understood and can differ between cell types. Here we investigate the involvement of well-known oncogenic pathways in NB's response to APR-246.

The recent decline in the health status of deep-sea habitats around the world has pushed the need to document and map their distribution to preserve them in their marine ecosystems. This work describes deep-water coral habitats (133-729 m) and their associated communities, based on nine ROV video transects. These transects cover a 171 km sub-seafloor profile within a predefined 5560 km area along the North Atlantic coast of Morocco, surveyed in 2020 as part of a coral habitat mapping study under the FAO-NANSEN programme.

Although a widely used and important industrial chemical, carbon disulfide (CS) poses a number of hazards due to its volatility and toxicity. As such, the development of multifunctional materials for the selective capture and easy recognition of CS is one of the crucial issues. Herein, we demonstrate completely selective CS adsorption among trials involving HO, alcohols, volatile organic compounds (including thiol derivatives), N, H, O, CH, CO, NO, and CO.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates trends in infant mortality rates linked to extreme neonatal hyperbilirubinemia (EHB) in six European countries from 1990 to 2019, revealing a significant decline in such mortality rates over the years.
- Results showed a decrease in EHB-related infant mortality from 21.4 to 4.2 per million live births, with Germany showing the best improvement and Portugal the most significant decline rate.
- The findings underscore the need for national surveillance and tailored guidelines to prevent bilirubin-induced neurological damage, highlighting substantial differences in mortality trends among the countries studied.
Evaluation of Integrative Medicine in Residency-Psychiatry Curriculum.
Acad Psychiatry

University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ, USA.
Objective: This study describes knowledge change, self-assessed confidence in providing integrative medicine approach, and respondents' perspective on value and feasibility for the Integrative Medicine in Residency-Psychiatry (IMR-Psychiatry) curriculum, a 100-h elective offered during psychiatry training.
Methods: Residents/fellows completed pre-post Medical Knowledge tests and self-assessment instruments tracking self-rated confidence. Participants were also interviewed for feedback about their experience using a semi-structured design after completion of the program.
