Depression and anxiety in people with kidney disease: understanding symptom variability, patient experience and preferences for mental health support.
J Nephrol
January 2025
School of Life and Medical Sciences, University of Hertfordshire, College Lane Campus, Hatfield, UK.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the prevalence and factors related to depression and anxiety among individuals with chronic kidney disease (CKD) in the UK, revealing that significant portions experience these mental health issues.
- Participants completed an online survey that assessed mental health history and treatment preferences, finding that over half had a history of diagnosed depression and many preferred in-person support.
- The results indicated that certain demographics, including age and gender, as well as factors like self-efficacy and current treatment, were significantly related to the levels of depression and anxiety symptoms, but differences in symptoms were not influenced by the kidney service centers’ location or size.
Negative Symptoms in Schizophrenia: An Update on Research Assessment and the Current and Upcoming Treatment Landscape.
CNS Drugs
January 2025
New York State Psychiatric Institute, 1051 Riverside Drive, New York, NY, 10032, USA.
Article Synopsis
- The negative symptoms of schizophrenia, like lack of emotion and motivation, are hard to treat and significantly impact daily functioning.
- This review highlights current research on treatment options for these symptoms, categorizing them into different types and evaluating various assessment scales.
- Although no treatments are conclusively proven as the best for these symptoms, some off-label and investigational medications show promise, including cariprazine and memantine, and further research is needed to explore new therapeutic possibilities.
Preliminary Evidence for Perturbation-Based tACS-EEG Biomarkers of Gamma Activity in Alzheimer's Disease.
Int J Geriatr Psychiatry
January 2025
Precision Neuroscience & Neuromodulation Program, Gordon Center for Medical Imaging, Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts, USA.
Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by impaired inhibitory circuitry and GABAergic dysfunction, which is associated with reduced fast brain oscillations in the gamma band (γ, 30-90 Hz) in several animal models. Investigating such activity in human patients could lead to the identification of novel biomarkers of diagnostic and prognostic value. The current study aimed to test a multimodal "Perturbation-based" transcranial Alternating Current Stimulation-Electroencephalography (tACS)-EEG protocol to detect how responses to tACS in AD patients correlate with patients' clinical phenotype.

Sarcopenic obesity (SO) is a body composition phenotype derived from the simultaneous presence in the same individual of an increase in fat mass and a decrease in skeletal muscle mass and/or function. Several protocols for the diagnosis of SO have been proposed in the last two decades making prevalence and disease risk estimates of SO heterogeneous and challenging to interpret. Dementia is a complex neurological disorder that significantly impacts patients, carers and healthcare systems.

Article Synopsis
- Immune checkpoint therapies have revolutionized cancer treatment but face challenges like low response rates and drug resistance, highlighting the need for a better understanding of the tumor microenvironment (TME).
- Recent studies show that biomechanical forces within the TME significantly impact immune responses and tumor progression, indicating that manipulating these forces could enhance immune activation against tumors.
- The review discusses key biomechanical mechanisms, the role of the extracellular matrix, and potential clinical applications, aiming to provide insights for discovering new therapeutic targets.
