This article describes a pedagogical classroom exercise that encourages ministry students to understand the jarring experience some people may confront when their life stories are disrupted and their ways of making meaning are challenged. Contemporary work in narrative and meaning making that grounds the exercise is presented. This exercise may be helpful to professionals who teach or mentor ministry students in their care of those enduring loss.

Expansion of medical school admission quotas in Korea, is it really necessary?
BMC Public Health
January 2025
Research Institute for Healthcare Policy, Korean Medical Association, Yongsan-gu, Seoul, South Korea.
Background: In 2024, the Korean Ministry of Health and Welfare enforced a policy to increase the number of medical school students by 2,000 over the next 5 years, despite opposition from doctors. This study aims to predict the trend of excess or shortage of medical personnel in Korea due to the policy of increasing the number of medical school students by 2035.
Methods: Data from multiple sources, including the Ministry of Health and Welfare, National Health Insurance Corporation, and the Korean Medical Association, were used to estimate supply and demand.
Depression symptom severity and behavioral impairment in school-going adolescents in Uganda.
BMC Psychiatry
January 2025
Division of Epidemiology and Social Sciences, Institute for Health and Equity, Medical College of Wisconsin, 8701 Watertown Plank Road, Milwaukee, WI, 53226, USA.
Background: During adolescence, a critical developmental phase, cognitive, psychological, and social states interact with the environment to influence behaviors like decision-making and social interactions. Depressive symptoms are more prevalent in adolescents than in other age groups which may affect socio-emotional and behavioral development including academic achievement. Here, we determined the association between depression symptom severity and behavioral impairment among adolescents enrolled in secondary schools of Eastern and Central Uganda.

Brain diseases pose significant treatment challenges due to the restrictive nature of the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Recent advances in targeting macromolecules offer promising avenues for overcoming these obstacles through receptor-mediated transcytosis (RMT). We summarize the current progress in targeting brain drug delivery with macromolecules for brain diseases.

Plants (Basel)
January 2025
Institute of Modern Agriculture, School of Life Sciences, Nantong University, Nantong 226019, China.
Proline, a critical osmoregulatory compound, is integral to various plant stress responses. The gene, which encodes the rate-limiting enzyme in proline biosynthesis, known as ∆1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate synthetase, is fundamental to these stress response pathways. While the functions of genes in plants have been extensively documented, their specific roles in cotton remain inadequately characterized.

Nutrients
January 2025
Health and Social Research Center, Universidad de Castilla La-Mancha, 16071 Cuenca, Spain.
Background/objectives: recent studies have suggested that components typical of the Mediterranean diet (MedDiet) are associated with depression and anxiety prevention. In this sense, the main objective of this study was to analyse the associations between adherence to the MedDiet and depression and anxiety symptoms and to examine whether this relationship is mediated by lean mass and the muscle strength index (MSI).
Methods: a cross-sectional study (based on data obtained from the Nuts4Brain-Z study) was conducted from 2023-2024, involving 428 university students, aged 18-30 years, from a Spanish public university.
