AI Article Synopsis
- - Evidence shows that methamphetamine users face a much higher risk of developing psychosis, with a study examining 2,098 individuals revealing that 12.7% exhibited methamphetamine-associated psychosis (MAP).
- - Various sociodemographic and clinical factors were analyzed; these included older age, early onset of substance use, frequent meth use, single marital status, lower education levels, and increased anxiety among those with MAP.
- - The study highlights that while identified factors reflect immediate conditions upon admission, they can help in understanding the contextual elements linked to MAP in outpatient settings.
Article Abstract
Evidence suggests that individuals who use methamphetamine are at a significantly higher risk of developing psychosis compared to non-users. This study aims to examine the rate of psychosis among methamphetamine users and to investigate factors related to methamphetamine-associated psychosis (MAP). Two thousand ninety-eight (2,098) individuals with methamphetamine use were admitted to outpatient care. Available admissions data included clinical interviews, the Addiction Profile Index (API), and API-clinical forms. MAP was identified in 267 (12.7%) participants. Our data analysis found significant sociodemographic, clinical, and personality differences between MAP and non-MAP cohorts on admission. Multivariate regression analysis revealed that older age (OR = 1.049), younger age of substance use onset (OR = 0.960), more frequent MA use (OR = 1.622), being single (OR = 1.974), lower education (OR = 0.46), increased number of withdrawal symptoms (OR = 1.100), higher lack of anger control scores (OR = 1.422), higher lack of assertiveness scores (OR = 1.396), and higher anxiety scores (OR = 1.715) were significantly associated with MAP. Although factors identified in this study represent state (on admission) rather than stable characterological traits, these results may nonetheless help us better characterize contextual factors associated with MAP in an outpatient population.

Background: There is still a significant proportion of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in whom multiple therapeutic lines are ineffective. These cases are defined by the EULAR criteria as Difficult-to-Treat RA (D2T-RA) for which there is limited knowledge of predisposing factors.
Objective: To identify the clinical features associated with D2T-RA in real-life practice.

Background: This research aims to explore the anti-obesity potential of Wu-Mei-Wan (WMW), particularly its effects on adipose tissue regulation in obese mice induced by a high-fat diet (HFD). The study focuses on understanding the role of heat shock factor 1 (HSF1) in mediating these effects.
Methods: HFD-induced obese mice were treated with WMW.

Background: De-intensification of anti-cancer therapy without significantly affecting outcomes is an important goal. Omission of axillary surgery or breast radiation is considered a reasonable option in elderly patients with early-stage breast cancer and good prognostic factors. Data on avoidance of both axillary surgery and radiation therapy (RT) is scarce and inconclusive.

Background: Given the increasing recognition of the value of greater integration of physical and mental health services for children and young people, we aimed to evaluate preferences among parents for the characteristics associated with integrated health service provision for two conditions (eating disorders, functional symptom disorders).
Methods: Two discrete choice experiments (DCEs) were conducted, using electronic surveys. Participants were adult parents of children and young people.

Background: Over one-third of the global stillbirth burden occurs in countries affected by conflict or a humanitarian crisis, including Afghanistan. Stillbirth rates in Afghanistan remained high in 2021 at over 26 per 1000 births. Stillbirths have devastating physical, psycho-social and economic impacts on women, families and healthcare providers.
