This study examined the bidirectional relations over time between behavioral functioning (autism symptoms, maladaptive behaviors, activities of daily living) and vocational/educational activities of adults with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Participants were 153 adults with ASD (M age = 30.2 years) who were part of a larger longitudinal study. Data were collected at two time points separated by 5.5 years. Cross-lag models were used, which accounted for stability over time while testing both directions of cross-lagged effects. Results suggested that greater vocational independence and engagement was related to subsequent reductions in autism symptoms and maladaptive behaviors, and improvements in activities of daily living. Relations between earlier behavioral variables (symptoms, behaviors, and activities of daily living) and later vocational independence were not statistically significant.

Home-use agents in the treatment of dentin hypersensitivity: clinical effectiveness evaluation with different measurement methods.
Clin Oral Investig
January 2025
Faculty of Dentistry, Department of Restorative Dentistry, Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University, Çanakkale, 17100, Turkey.
Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of home-use desensitizing agents over an 8-week period by comparing them using different measurement methods.
Methods: A randomized, controlled clinical trial was conducted with 180 individuals aged between 18 and 70 who clinically diagnosed dentin hypersensitivity (DH) in two or more non-adjacent teeth. Subjects who met the inclusion criteria (n = 164) were randomly allocated into five test groups-using Casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP), Arginine, Novamin, Propolis, and Potassium nitrate-and a control group using standard fluoride toothpaste.
Background: Based on preclinical data showing addition of CDK4/6 inhibitors to gemcitabine was synergistic, ribociclib was evaluated in combination with gemcitabine to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and dose limiting toxicities (DLT).
Methods: In this single arm multicohort phase I trial, we evaluated the safety and efficacy of ribociclib plus gemcitabine in patients with advanced solid tumors. Patients received gemcitabine intravenously on days 1 and 8 followed by ribociclib days 8-14, with treatment repeated every 3 weeks.
Captopril attenuates oxidative stress and neuroinflammation implicated in cisplatin-induced cognitive deficits in rats.
Psychopharmacology (Berl)
January 2025
Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Faculty of Pharmacy, Ain Shams University, Cairo, Egypt.
Rationale: One of the most debilitating drawbacks of cisplatin chemotherapy is neurotoxicity which elicits memory impairment and cognitive dysfunction (chemobrain). This is primarily triggered by oxidative stress and inflammation. Captopril, an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor, has been reported as a neuroprotective agent owing to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.

Sleep Health
January 2025
Population Sciences, Beckman Research Institute, City of Hope, Duarte, California, USA.
Objectives: Insufficient sleep is linked to various health issues, while physical activity is a protective measure against chronic diseases. Despite the importance of sleep and physical activity for supporting public health, there remains scant research investigating daily and cumulative associations between objectively measured physical activity and sleep. Understanding the associations of physical activity and sleep behaviors over multiple days may inform the efficacy of interventions to synergistically support both behaviors.
