The Newborn Screening Programme Revisited: An Expert Opinion on the Challenges of Rett Syndrome.

Genes (Basel)

December 2024

Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience, King's College London, London SE5 8AF, UK.

Genomic sequencing has the potential to revolutionise newborn screening (NBS) programmes. In 2024, Genomics England began to recruit for the Generation Study (GS), which uses whole genome sequencing (WGS) to detect genetic changes in 500 genes in more than 200 rare conditions. Ultimately, its purpose is to facilitate the earlier identification of rare conditions and thereby improve health-related outcomes for individuals.

Single-Dose Psilocybin for Depression With Severe Treatment Resistance: An Open-Label Trial.

Am J Psychiatry

January 2025

Institute for Advanced Diagnostics and Treatment, Sheppard Pratt Health System, Baltimore (Aaronson, Miller, LaPratt, Swartz, Shoultz, Lauterbach); Department of Psychiatry, University of Maryland, Baltimore (Aaronson, van der Vaart, Lauterbach); VA Palo Alto Health Care System and Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences Stanford University School of Medicine, Palo Alto, CA (Suppes); Departments of Psychiatry and Radiology, Columbia University, New York (Sackeim).

Article Synopsis
  • The study focused on evaluating the safety and effectiveness of psilocybin for patients with severe treatment-resistant depression (TRD), who had not benefited from at least five previous treatments.
  • Conducted over 12 weeks at Sheppard Pratt Hospital, patients received a single 25 mg dose of synthetic psilocybin and underwent therapy sessions before and after dosing, assessing their depression levels mainly with the Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS).
  • Results showed significant reductions in depressive symptoms at both 3 weeks and 12 weeks post-treatment, indicating psilocybin’s potential as a viable option for individuals with severe TRD, although those with comorbid PTSD experienced less improvement.

Recently, demand for assessments has substantially increased, putting strain on healthcare and waiting lists. There is concern that pressure to clear service bottlenecks is leading to variable quality and reliability of ADHD assessments in this population.

Background: High-quality estimates of the epidemiology of the autism spectrum and the health needs of autistic people are necessary for service planners and resource allocators. Here we present the global prevalence and health burden of autism spectrum disorder from the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2021 following improvements to the epidemiological data and burden estimation methods.

Methods: For GBD 2021, a systematic literature review involving searches in PubMed, Embase, PsycINFO, the Global Health Data Exchange, and consultation with experts identified data on the epidemiology of autism spectrum disorder.
