Decoding brain structure to stage Alzheimer's disease pathology in Down syndrome.
Alzheimers Dement
January 2025
Department of Neurology, Washington University School of Medicine, St. Louis, Missouri, USA.
Introduction: Alzheimer's disease (AD) in Down syndrome (DS) is associated with changes in brain structure. It is unknown if thickness and volumetric changes can identify AD stages and if they are similar to other genetic forms of AD.
Methods: Magnetic resonance imaging scans were collected for 178 DS adults (106 nonclinical, 45 preclinical, and 27 symptomatic).
Identifying genetic differences between bipolar disorder and major depression through multiple genome-wide association analyses.
Br J Psychiatry
January 2025
Center for Neurobehavioral Genetics, Semel Institute for Neuroscience and Human Behavior, David Geffen School of Medicine, University of California Los Angeles, USA; Department of Human Genetics, University of California Los Angeles, USA; and Department of Computational Medicine, University of California Los Angeles, USA.
Background: Accurate diagnosis of bipolar disorder (BPD) is difficult in clinical practice, with an average delay between symptom onset and diagnosis of about 7 years. A depressive episode often precedes the first manic episode, making it difficult to distinguish BPD from unipolar major depressive disorder (MDD).
Aims: We use genome-wide association analyses (GWAS) to identify differential genetic factors and to develop predictors based on polygenic risk scores (PRS) that may aid early differential diagnosis.
The Impact of Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault on Family Dynamics and Child Development: A Comprehensive Review.
Turk Arch Pediatr
January 2025
Department of Forensic Medicine, İstanbul Health and Technology University Faculty of Medicine, İstanbul, Türkiye.
This review synthesizes current research on domestic violence and sexual assault, focusing on their short-term and long-term effects on family dynamics, particularly on the development and well-being of children and adolescents. The article employs a curated body of literature, including surveys, reviews, program evaluations, and international health reports, to elucidate the direct and collateral damage caused by such trauma within families. The review critically examines the intersecting consequences of abuse, including immediate psychological distress and long-term socio-economic and educational disruptions for affected youths.

Community health science, Aga Khan University Karachi, Pakistan.
Beta-thalassemia major (β-TM) is a genetic disorder, prevalent especially in the Mediterranean region, Southeast Asia, and the Indian subcontinent. With improvements in management over the years, β-TM has transitioned from a fatal childhood disease to a chronic condition. However, in Pakistan, there is still a lack of a comprehensive national policy and strategic plan, which has resulted in a growing number of β-TM patients, placing a substantial burden on individuals and the national healthcare system.

Acta Physiol (Oxf)
February 2025
Department of Physiology, Graduate School of Health and Sports Science, Juntendo University, Chiba, Japan.
Aim: Chronic stress elevates blood pressure, whereas regular exercise exerts antistress and antihypertensive effects. However, the mechanisms of stress-induced hypertension and preventive effects through exercise remain unknown. Thus, we investigated the molecular basis involved in autonomic blood pressure regulation within the amygdala.
