Persistent negative symptoms in young people at clinical high risk of psychosis treated with an Italian early intervention program: a longitudinal study
This study aims to (a) determine the prevalence of PNS in a sample of young people at CHR-P; (b) investigate any association of PNS with functioning and clinical features; (c) examine longitudinal course of PNS across 2 years of follow-up and changes in PNS severity levels with specialized treatments. One Hundred Eighty CHR-P participants were recruited and were divided into CHR-P/PNS + and CHR-P/PNS- subgroups. The clinical assessments were based on the PANSS and the GAF and were conducted at baseline and every 12 months during the follow-up. Twenty four participants showed PNS at entry. Of them, 21 concluded the 2-year f...

'Too young to sit at home': a qualitative study conducted among employees with young-onset dementia and their relatives
CONCLUSION: The findings highlight a strong desire to work post-YOD diagnosis, serving as a foundation for developing workplace support tools and guidance. This has the potential to help individuals with YOD preserve their self-confidence and identity while working within their capabilities.PMID:38669151 | DOI:10.1080/13607863.2024.2345132 (Source: Aging and Mental Health)

Experiences of workers with long-term disabilities on employer support throughout the RTW process in The Netherlands: a qualitative study
CONCLUSION: The elements of successful employer support reveals that the pressure on the shoulders of the supervisor is high. Future research should further investigate whether supervisors need more phase-specific training from their organization.PMID:38660937 | DOI:10.1080/09638288.2024.2343823 (Source: Disability and Rehabilitation)

Identification of sensitive endpoints for the assessment of phthalates-induced reproductive and developmental toxicity: a literature mining study
Food Chem Toxicol. 2024 Apr 23:114686. doi: 10.1016/j.fct.2024.114686. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDibutyl phthalate (DBP) and di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), two common types of phthalates, are known to cause reproductive and developmental toxicity in animals and humans. The reference doses (RfD) of DBP and DEHP should be determined by sensitive endpoints. We here aimed to identify sensitive endpoints for DBP- and DEHP-induced such toxicity using published literatures. By examining the impacts of maternal exposure to DBP or DEHP on anogenital distance (AGD) and semen quality of offspring, we discovered that DBP or DE...

Voices of Young Deaf Adults: Supporting Adolescent Social Capital Development
Am Ann Deaf. 2023;167(5):605-624. doi: 10.1353/aad.2023.0003.ABSTRACTFor most young people, social capital plays an important role in transitioning to postsecondary education and employment. For youth who are deaf or hard of hearing (DHH), social capital can mitigate negative effects of challenges they will likely encounter after high school. In phase 2 of a two-phase qualitative study in Australia, we investigated DHH young adults' perspectives on how DHH adolescents could best be supported to develop and use social capital to benefit their postschool transition. Nine university students whose primary communication mode w...
