In the realm of electrochemical sensor application, the development and fabrication of semiconducting metal oxides with the integration of conducting polymers for the trace-level detection of pharmaceutical medicines garnered considerable interest. Herein, we reported facile cadmium oxide decorated with polypyrrole nanotubes fabricated on a glassy carbon electrode (CdO@PPy/GCE) for efficient determination of antihistamine drug promethazine hydrochloride (PMH). The as-synthesized CdO@PPy composite was characterized by various analytical tools like X-ray powder diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Furthermore, the electrocatalytic activity of the modified electrode for PMH detection was examined by voltammetry and amperometric methods, and the modified electrode exhibited lower charge transfer resistance compared to the bare GCE. Under the optimized condition, the fabricated electrode shows a wide linear range (50-550 μM), better sensitivity (0.13 μAμM cm), low detection limit (10.83 nM) (S/N = 3), and excellent selectivity and reproducibility toward PMH detection. Moreover, the modified GCE depicted eminent practical ability for PMH detection in lake water and pharmaceutical tablets.

Background & Aims: Erythropoietic protoporphyria (EPP) is caused by mutations in ferrochelatase which inserts iron into protoporphyrin-IX (PP-IX) to generate heme. EPP is characterized by PP-IX accumulation, skin photosensitivity, cholestasis, and end-stage liver disease. Despite available drugs that address photosensitivity, treatment of EPP-related liver disease remains an unmet need.

Article Synopsis
- Protein crosslinks caused by oxidative stress are linked to diseases like atherosclerosis, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's, but their specific nature and locations in proteins remain unclear.
- A new method utilizing "light" and "heavy" isotope-labeled reagents for efficient amine labeling of crosslinked peptides has shown improved identification and quantification over previous techniques.
- This approach has led to the successful identification of novel crosslinks in proteins like β-casein and α-synuclein, as well as effective mapping of disulfide bonds in serum albumin, highlighting its versatility for studying protein modifications.
Barriers and facilitators to mental health care access and engagement for LGBTQA+ people with psychosis: A scoping review.
Psychiatry Res

Institute for Mental and Physical Health and Clinical Translation, Deakin University, Geelong, VIC, Australia; School of Health Sciences, University of Manchester, Manchester, United Kingdom.
Article Synopsis
- - LGBTQA+ individuals are more likely to experience psychosis and face challenges in accessing timely mental health care, leading to an increased risk of negative outcomes.
- - A scoping review analyzed 37 studies and identified 89 barriers and 63 facilitators related to mental health care for LGBTQA+ people, categorizing them into five key themes: service-related factors, stigma, social networks, personal factors, and psychosis-related factors.
- - The findings emphasize the importance of understanding intersectionality and suggest that enhancing knowledge and resources in public services could lead to earlier detection and better treatment of psychosis in the LGBTQA+ community.
Machine learning in knee injury sequelae detection: Unravelling the role of psychological factors and preventing long-term sequelae.

Purpose: This study evaluated the performance of three machine learning (ML) algorithms-decision tree (DT), multilayer perceptron (MLP) and extreme gradient boosting (XGB)-in identifying regular athletes who suffered a knee injury several months to years prior. In addition, the contribution of psychological variables in addition to biomechanical ones in the classification performance of the ML algorithms was assessed, to better identify factors to get back to competitive sport with the lowest possible risk of new knee injury.
Methods: A cohort of 96 athletes, 36 with prior knee injuries, practicing an average of 5.
