The blood-brain barrier hinders drug delivery to the central nervous system (CNS), particularly for large molecules. Here, we present a protocol for delivering proteins, peptides, and short hairpin RNAs (shRNAs) via the intrathecal (IT) route in the experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (EAE) mouse model. We describe steps for developing EAE in mice and administering treatments intrathecally. The insights into treatment efficacy that can be provided by this protocol make it an important tool for CNS research. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Bhusal et al..

Objective: Tobacco smoking is the leading cause of preventable death among individuals with serious mental illness (SMI) but few persons with SMI are offered smoking cessation treatment. The purpose of this study was to pilot-test a multicomponent intervention to increase the delivery of evidence-based smoking cessation treatment in community mental health clinics (CMHCs).
Method: This study was carried out at five CMHCs in Maryland involving clinicians who participated in training in smoking cessation.

A high-performance anionic stereogenic-at-cobalt(III) complex/oxone catalytic system was developed for various enantioselective intramolecular halocyclizations of olefins using halide salts as halogen sources, delivering structurally diverse halogenated heterocyclic compounds with outstanding stereoselectivity (up to 97 : 3 e.r.).

Purpose: Interprofessional teams are increasingly being recognized as a best practice for enhancing cooperation among multiple disciplines in delivering person-centered care and improving outcomes. Unlike previous models, such as the multidisciplinary team in which each profession or discipline remained largely siloed, with interprofessional teams collaboration occurs across disciplines. For case managers, the interprofessional team concept aligns with the collaborative, professionally diverse nature of the field of practice.

Purpose: Adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D) are reported to be at higher risk for clinical eating disorders (ED) and other disordered eating behaviors (DEB) than their peers without diabetes. On the other hand, there is insufficient data on DEB in adults with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Our study aimed to investigate the prevalence of DEB in patients with T1D and T2D on intensive insulin therapy followed in our outpatient clinic.

Background: An increasing number of older people are experiencing homelessness and memory problems, many of whom are supported in temporary hostel accommodation. This can be a challenge for hostel staff who may not have adequate training and support but who often support those with significant memory impairment in their day-to-day work. The study aimed to investigate the training and support that hostel staff require to meet the needs of older hostel residents experiencing memory and cognitive problems, and thus enhance hostel resident quality of life and well-being, considering what additional knowledge, skills, and support hostel staff need to achieve this.
