Cognitive enhancement by the GABA (B) antagonist SGS742 has been reported and we decided to search for proteins involved. Hippocampi from OF1 mice were from SGS742- treated animals and three control groups. Proteins were extracted and run on 2DE, and spots were quantified. Significantly different protein spots were identified by two mass spectrometry principles, nano-LC-ESI-MS/MS and by nano-LC-ESI(CID/ETD)-MS/MS. Signaling, chaperone and metabolic enzyme proteins were linked to memory enhancement.

Purpose: The neurobiological heterogeneity present in schizophrenia remains poorly understood. This likely contributes to the limited success of existing treatments and the observed variability in treatment responses. Our objective was to employ magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and machine learning (ML) algorithms to improve the classification of schizophrenia and its subtypes.

Background: The proliferation of electronic health record (EHR) alerts has led to widespread alert fatigue and clinician burnout, undermining the effectiveness of clinical decision support and compromising patient safety.

Objective: We introduce a comprehensive style guide for designing interruptive alerts (IAs) in EHR systems to improve clinician engagement and reduce alert fatigue that has been approved by our institutional alert governance committees. This style guide addresses critical aspects of IAs, including format, typography, color-coding, title brevity, patient identification, and introductory text.

Electronic address:

The review aims to examine the neurotoxic effects of arsenic, particularly exploring the roles of glial cells-astrocytes, microglia, and oligodendrocytes, amid its widespread environmental contamination and impact on cognitive impairments. It highlights the role of altered neurotrophin and growth factor signaling in disrupting neuronal health and cognitive performance. It elucidates the intricate interactions between oxidative stress, DNA damage, neurotransmitter disruption, and cellular signaling alterations, underscoring the vital importance of the glial cells.

An argumentation theory-based assessment tool for evaluating disinformation in health-related claims.

Patient Educ Couns

December 2024

Swiss Paraplegic Research, Nottwil, Switzerland; Faculty of Health Sciences and Medicine, University of Lucerne, Lucerne, Switzerland. Electronic address:

Objective: This study leverages argumentation theory to combat the growing threat of health disinformation by enhancing public competency in evaluating health-related information.

Methods: We systematically analyzed common persuasive tactics used in health disinformation, categorizing them into thematic groups linked to specific argument types. Based on these analyses, we developed critical questions to test the validity and strength of these arguments, resulting in an assessment tool.
