Risks of Clozapine Decline Sharply After Six Months, May Warrant Reduced Monitoring
This study, which tracked nearly 62,000 people in Finland for up to 22 years, also found that the fatality rate among individuals who develop agranulocytosis is very low.“More than half of the agranulocytosis events in patients treated with clozapine occurred during the initial 6 months,” wrote Jose M. Rubio, M.D., of the Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research in Manhasset, N.Y., and colleagues. “Notably, although purposeful, lifetime blood monitoring might be a deterrent to use clozapine for some patients and therefore lifting it from being mandatory after a cautionary period could facilitate the uptake of this u...

Psychological Treatment with Youth: Style, Informed by Science
AbstractFollowing statements about preferences for terminology, I describe three therapist characteristics (i.e., diagnostician educator, collaborator) deemed of value when providing psychological treatment for youth. Implementing an empirically supported treatment (EST) is a therapist decision, and while most therapists are aware of an EST that can fit for a specific client, many therapists ask “But is it right for my client?” This paper discusses therapist’s mental processes that may misinform decisions when answering this key question. To assist optimal decision making, and with an eye on maladaptive anxiety in yo...

Community-Centred Environmental Discourse: Redefining Water Management in the Murray Darling Basin, Australia
AbstractThe Australian government's response to the Millennium Drought (1997 –2010) has been met with praise and contestation. While proponents saw the response as timely and crucial, critics claimed it was characterized by government overreach and mismanagement. Five months of field research in farm communities in the Murray Darling Basin (MDB) identified two dominant dis courses: administrative rationalism and a local community-based discourse I have termed community-centrism. Administrative rationalism reflects the value of scientific inquiry in service to the state and is the dominant research-based problem-solving m...

Climate emergency and decent work
The climate crisis and loss of biodiversity, two closely related threats to human and planetary health, meet the criteria for the World Health Organization (WHO) to declare an international public health emergency, as occurred with COVID-19 (1), and urged by numerous scientific journals (2).
Attaining decent work, understood as “opportunities for women and men to work in conditions of freedom, equity, security and human dignity” (3), in the context of the climate emergency, creates a paradox for worker health. Outdoor workers (notably those in agriculture and construction), many of them informal workers, are among th...

Autistic People's Perspectives on Functioning Labels and Associated Reasons, and Community Connectedness
CONCLUSION: The proposed best option for language preferences is not to find consensus but instead, opt for the optimal choice that people find the least offensive or disagreeable. This means using identity-first language and not using functioning labels.PMID:38507152 | DOI:10.1007/s10803-024-06316-3 (Source: Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders)

‘Jelly in the skull’: Ancient brains are preserved more often than you think
In 1982, construction workers uncovered dozens of 8000-year-old human skeletons in a pond on the edge of Titusville, Florida. Archaeologists excavating the waterlogged site—now known as Windover Archeological Site—were shocked to discover intact brain tissue inside 91 of the skulls, with some brains intact enough to identify contours and extract ancient DNA.
University of Oxford forensic anthropologist Alexandra Morton-Hayward was also surprised when, as a Ph.D. student, she read about Windover as she set out to study the decomposition of what she assumed was the body’s most ephemeral organ. As a former underta...

Surprise RNAs solve mystery of how butterfly wings get their colorful patterns
A mutant butterfly for sale on eBay has helped upend naturalists’ picture of how butterfly wings acquire their intricate variety of red, yellow, white, and black stripes. It and recent research into other butterflies shows how visible traits in many animals may be controlled by the same underexplored genetic regulatory mechanism, based not on proteins, but on RNA.
In 2016, geneticists thought they had pinned much of the wing-pattern variation
on a protein-encoding gene called
cortex
. But three teams have now proved that a different gene, previously missed because it overlaps with
cortex
...

Alterations in plasma protein N-glycosylation after caloric restriction and bariatric surgery
CONCLUSIONS: Plasma protein N-glycosylation undergoes extensive alterations following caloric restriction and bariatric surgery.
