Background: Mental health issues in college students are increasing, and nursing students may experience higher stress and anxiety levels than other college students. Limited data differentiate mental health characteristics of traditional Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) and accelerated Bachelor of Science in Nursing (ABSN) students.
Method: This descriptive mixed-methods study compared mental health characteristics between BSN ( = 21) and ABSN ( = 51) students.
Results: Mild to moderate distress was identified with the Psychological Distress Profile, and moderate levels of stress were identified on the Perceived Stress Scale. No significant differences in scores were found between groups. More ABSN students reported mental health diagnoses than BSN students. Common reasons for stress included academic obligations, relationship challenges, and financial concerns.
Conclusion: Nursing students report experiencing psychological stress, although reasons may vary by cohorts. Further investigation and development of support programs for student mental health is warranted. .

Sex-Based Differences in Endovascular Thrombectomy Outcomes for Large Ischemic Stroke: A SELECT2 Subanalysis.
Stroke
January 2025
Neurology, Stroke, University Hospital Cleveland Medical Center - Case Western Reserve University, OH. (A.O., C.S., A.S.).
Background: Several social and biological factors are shown to differentially affect stroke outcomes between men and women. We evaluated whether clinical outcomes and endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) treatment effects differed between the sexes in patients presenting with large ischemic stroke.
Methods: The SELECT2 trial (A Randomized Controlled Trial to Optimize Patient's Selection for Endovascular Treatment in Acute Ischemic Stroke) was a randomized controlled trial assessing the efficacy and safety of EVT in patients with large strokes across the United States, Canada, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand between October 2019 and September 2022.
Somatic symptom and related disorders in a tertiary paediatric hospital: Characteristics of ED use prior to admission.
Emerg Med Australas

Centre for Adolescent Health, Murdoch Children's Research Institute and Royal Children's Hospital, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.
Objectives: Somatic symptom and related disorders (SSRDs) are complex disorders that are commonly encountered in tertiary paediatric settings. Despite this, little is known about ED use prior to hospital admission. We aimed to describe the pattern of ED use in a cohort of children and adolescents who were subsequently admitted to hospital with SSRD and to identify factors associated with ED presentations.

Decisions about ethnic groups studied in health research shape recommendations. If a group is not included in research, its ability to call for policy change is limited. Despite health inequalities for the Irish in Britain in the 20th century, recent research on health is likely to combine the White Irish with White British, whereas Irish people of colour are not mentioned at all.

Background: Arthritis is a prevalent and debilitating condition that affects a significant proportion of middle-aged and older adults worldwide. Characterized by chronic pain, inflammation, and joint dysfunction, arthritis can severely impact physical function, quality of life, and mental health. The overall burden of arthritis is further compounded in this population due to its frequent association with depression.

: The periaqueductal gray (PAG) is a central hub for the regulation of aggression, whereas the circuitry and molecular mechanisms underlying this regulation remain uncharacterized. In this study, we investigate the role of a distinct cell type, -expressing (Tac2) neurons, located in the dorsomedial PAG (dmPAG) and their modulation of aggressive behavior in mice. : We combined activity mapping, Ca recording, chemogenetic and pharmacological manipulation, and a viral-based translating ribosome affinity purification (TRAP) profiling using a mouse resident-intruder model.
