Genome-wide analysis of two different regions of brain reveals the molecular changes of fertility related genes in rln3a < sup > -/- < /sup > mutants in male Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus)
Gen Comp Endocrinol. 2024 Apr 29:114543. doi: 10.1016/j.ygcen.2024.114543. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTRelaxin3 (rln3) has been associated with various emotional and cognitive processes, including stress, anxiety, learning, memory, motivational behavior, and circadian rhythm. Notably, previous report revealed that Rln3a played an indispensable role in testicular development and male fertility in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). However, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain largely unknown. We found that Rln3a is expressed exclusively in the diencephalon* (Di*) of the brain. Deficiency of Rln3a resulted in a si...

Testing a cognitive behavioural therapy program for anxiety in autistic adolescents: a feasibility study
CONCLUSION: This study suggests that the adaptation of the program 'Cool Kids - ASA' into an adolescent version is feasible and has the potential to show good effects thus enhancing the possibility of education, development and independence in future life for this group. Larger RCTs studies are, however, needed to examine the efficacy of the adolescent version.PMID:38690784 | DOI:10.1080/08039488.2024.2338206 (Source: Nordic Journal of Psychiatry)

Risk factors for asthma-related hospital and intensive care admissions in children, adolescents and adults: a cohort study using primary and secondary care data
CONCLUSIONS: There are significant sociodemographic inequalities in the rates of asthma-related hospital and ICU admissions. Treating age-specific modifiable risk factors should be considered an integral part of asthma management, which could potentially reduce the rate of avoidable hospital admissions.PMID:38692709 | DOI:10.1136/bmjresp-2023-001746 (Source: Respiratory Care)

CaMKII activity and metabolic imbalance-related neurological diseases: Focus on vascular dysfunction, synaptic plasticity, amyloid beta accumulation, and lipid metabolism
Biomed Pharmacother. 2024 Apr 30;175:116688. doi: 10.1016/j.biopha.2024.116688. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMetabolic syndrome (MetS) is characterized by insulin resistance, hyperglycemia, excessive fat accumulation and dyslipidemia, and is known to be accompanied by neuropathological symptoms such as memory loss, anxiety, and depression. As the number of MetS patients is rapidly increasing globally, studies on the mechanisms of metabolic imbalance-related neuropathology are emerging as an important issue. Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent kinase II (CaMKII) is the main Ca2+ sensor and contributes to diverse intracellular signal...

Long-term effects of alcohol consumption on anxiety in adults: A systematic review
CONCLUSIONS: A paucity of research on the longitudinal effects of alcohol consumption on anxiety was found, highlighting a significant gap in the research literature. Furthermore, existing research, primarily focussed on clinical subpopulations, has yielded mixed results. Further research is needed to explore the longitudinal dose dependent impact of alcohol consumption on anxiety using samples representative of national populations.PMID:38692070 | DOI:10.1016/j.addbeh.2024.108047 (Source: Addictive Behaviors)

Psychological symptoms and health-related quality of life in intubated and non-intubated intensive care survivors: A multicentre, prospective observational cohort study
CONCLUSIONS: Nearly one-in-two (47 %) of the intubated and non-intubated ICU survivors reported clinically significant psychological symptoms at 3 and 12-month follow-ups. Overall, more than 30 % at 3-months and over 20 % at 12-months of the survivors in both groups had moderate or worse problems with their usual activities and mobility. The presence of psychological symptoms and HRQOL impairments was similar between the groups.PMID:38690186 | PMC:PMC11056421 | DOI:10.1016/j.ccrj.2023.10.011 (Source: Critical Care and Resuscitation)
