N-Acylphosphatidylethanolamine phospholipase D (NAPE-PLD) is regarded as the principal enzyme that generates N-acylethanolamines (NAEs), a family of signaling lipids that includes the endocannabinoid anandamide. To investigate the biological function and biosynthesis of NAEs, we sought to develop potent NAPE-PLD inhibitors. To this aim, we utilized a high-throughput screening-compatible NAPE-PLD activity assay, which uses the fluorescence-quenched substrate PED6. This assay conveniently uses membrane fractions of NAPE-PLD overexpressing HEK293T cell lysates, thus avoiding the need for protein purification. Here, we give a detailed description of the NAPE-PLD PED6 fluorescence activity assay, which has increased throughput compared to previous radioactivity- or mass-spectrometry-based assays.

This article aims to present the results of a study on the facilitators and obstacles to community participation in inclusive settings for people with intellectual disabilities (ID) in Québec City (Canada), as perceived by adults with ID and key individuals involved in their daily lives. Semi-structured interviews were conducted, followed by an inductive thematic analysis process. Twenty participants shared their perspectives on the factors that influence community participation of adults with ID in inclusive settings.

Background: This study investigated transition, or school leaving, as experienced by young adults living in Aotearoa New Zealand who had significant intellectual and developmental disabilities.
Method: To investigate these typically unheard perspectives, qualitative methods were adapted to individual communication preferences. Personal and contextual intersections were critically analysed using the theoretical framework of the capability approach.

Background: It is mandatory for staff in Swedish community services for people with intellectual disabilities to report incidents of error or malpractice.
Aim: The aim is to study if incident reports contribute to developing quality in services for people with intellectual disabilities who present with challenging behaviours.
Method: 159 reports on incidents from group homes and daily activities services were accessed and analysed using narrative thematic analysis.

Background: Persons with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities (IDD) are a growing population, frequently living with complex health conditions and unmet healthcare needs. Traditional clinical practice and research methods and measures may require adaptation to reflect their preferences.
Objective: The perspectives of people with IDD, caregivers/partners, and clinicians were obtained to provide insight into factors contributing to the health and wellness of people with IDD.
