Article Synopsis
  • - A lot of neuroscience research in Europe uses methods like transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), which are important for studying brain function.
  • - New EU regulations, particularly the Medical Device Regulation (MDR), have created confusion and problems in the non-invasive brain stimulation field, as they categorize some non-medical NIBS products with high-risk invasive devices.
  • - To address the negative impact of overregulation on research and innovation, a diverse group of stakeholders, including researchers and ethicists, has come together to promote discussions aimed at improving regulatory practices.

Many Veterans who served in Iraq and Afghanistan struggle with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and the effects of traumatic brain injuries (TBI). Some people with a history of TBI report a constellation of somatic, cognitive, and emotional complaints that are often referred to as postconcussive symptoms (PCS). Research suggests these symptoms may not be specific to TBI.

To contribute to improving ADHD care in France, we assessed existing ADHD knowledge among medical doctors (MDs) and described associated care pathways in two large French regions in 2021. We produced tools to evaluate the regional impact of implementing a stepped-care pathway for ADHD.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates how sex and race influence the relationship between apolipoprotein E (APOE) alleles (ε4 and ε2) and cognitive function in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) across different populations.
  • Using data from four cohorts of older adults (60+ years) who self-identified as either non-Hispanic White or non-Hispanic Black, researchers analyzed cognitive outcomes related to memory and executive function.
  • Findings suggest significant differences in how APOE ε4 impacts cognitive scores based on sex, with the interactions varying by race, indicating that genetic factors influencing cognition in AD are complex and multifaceted.

Chronic fatigue syndrome/myalgic encephalomyelitis (CFS/ME) is a disabling long-term condition of unknown cause. The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) published a guideline in 2021 that highlighted the seriousness of the condition, but also recommended that graded exercise therapy (GET) should not be used and cognitive-behavioural therapy should only be used to manage symptoms and reduce distress, not to aid recovery. This U-turn in recommendations from the previous 2007 guideline is controversial.

April 2022

J.E. Ravenell is associate professor, Departments of Population Health and Internal Medicine, associate dean for diversity affairs and inclusion, and director, Diversity in Research, Perlmutter Cancer Center, NYU Grossman School of Medicine, NYU Langone Health, New York, New York; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7024-3460 .

As the nation seeks to recruit and retain physician-scientists, gaps remain in understanding and addressing mitigatable challenges to the success of faculty from underrepresented minority (URM) backgrounds. The Doris Duke Charitable Foundation Fund to Retain Clinical Scientists program, implemented in 2015 at 10 academic medical centers in the United States, seeks to retain physician-scientists at risk of leaving science because of periods of extraordinary family caregiving needs, hardships that URM faculty-especially those who identify as female-are more likely to experience. At the annual Fund to Retain Clinical Scientists program directors conference in 2018, program directors-21% of whom identify as URM individuals and 13% as male-addressed issues that affect URM physician-scientists in particular.

This study presents findings of forensic inpatients' experiences of their role in the risk assessment process. Eleven patients, recruited from two forensic psychiatric clinics in Sweden, participated in semi-structured interviews which were analyzed using qualitative content analysis. The analysis of their experiences resulted in the information of three categories: Taking responsibility for one's own situation, in terms of taking responsibility for aspects of one's care, taking charge of the present, emphasizing potential challenges in grasping reality, and being involved and having impact, which concerns feelings of being involved in discussions related to one's care and treatment versus feelings of being an outsider.
