AI Article Synopsis

  • Assessing patients with physical illnesses is challenging due to biases from their physical symptoms, such as fatigue and loss of appetite, leading to possible over-diagnosis of mental disorders.
  • Using specific psychiatric diagnostic criteria helps to limit these biases and provides a clearer understanding of the patient's mental health.
  • This approach not only improves the accuracy of psychiatric assessments but also enhances the overall clinical evaluation of patients with organic illnesses.

Article Abstract

The psychiatric assessment of the patients with organic illnesses is very difficult because of the bias related to physical symptoms (asthenia, anorexia). This could produce an over-diagnosis of the psychiatric disorders. The use of the specific psychiatric diagnosis criteria in the organic illnesses avoids this kind of problems and allows an improvement of their clinical assessment.

Household waste-specific ambient air shows greater inhalable antimicrobial resistance risks in densely populated communities.

Waste Manag

January 2025

Shanghai Engineering Research Center of Biotransformation of Organic Solid Waste, School of Ecological and Environmental Science, East China Normal University, Shanghai 200241, PR China; Chongqing Key Laboratory of Precision Optics, Chongqing Institute of East China Normal University, Chongqing 401120, PR China. Electronic address:

Household waste is a hotspot of antibiotic resistance, which can be readily emitted to the ambient airborne inhalable particulate matters (PM) during the day-long storage in communities. Nevertheless, whether these waste-specific inhalable antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) are associated with pathogenic bacteria or pose hazards to local residents have yet to be explored. By high-throughput metagenomic sequencing and culture-based antibiotic resistance validation, we analyzed 108 airborne PM and nearby environmental samples collected across different types of residential communities in Shanghai, the most populous city in China.

Joint Institute for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition, University of Maryland, College Park, MD 20742, USA.

Accurate detection of viable O157:H7 in fresh produce wash water is critical for ensuring food safety and mitigating foodborne illnesses. This study evaluated an optimized on-filter propidium monoazide (PMA)-quantitative PCR (qPCR) method for detecting viable O157:H7 in romaine lettuce wash water, involving PMA pretreatment on a filter to block DNA amplification from dead cells. The method consistently detected viable cells across chemical oxygen demand (COD) levels of 1000 and 200 mg O/L, with no significant differences ( > 0.

Background: There is limited and conflicting evidence on the comparative cardiometabolic safety and effectiveness of aripiprazole in the management of severe mental illness. We investigated the hypothesis that aripiprazole has a favourable cardiometabolic profile, but similar effectiveness when compared to olanzapine, quetiapine, and risperidone.

Methods And Findings: We conducted an observational emulation of a head-to-head trial of aripiprazole versus olanzapine, quetiapine, and risperidone in UK primary care using data from the Clinical Practice Research Datalink.

A volatile organic substance produced from jasmonic acid, methyl jasmonate (MJ/MeJA), is an important plant hormone involved in stress responses and plant defense. Apart from its role in plants, MJ has garnered significant attention because of its pharmacological effects and possible therapeutic use in human health. This thorough analysis looks into the many biological actions of MJ, such as its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-cancer effects.
