News at a glance: U.S. rules on carbon emissions, better vehicle batteries, and a Mars moon ’s close-up
PLANETARY SCIENCE Mars’s moon may be its kin Researchers have long believed that Mars’s two moons, Deimos and Phobos, are captured asteroids. But the first close-up images of Deimos, taken by the United Arab Emirates’s $200 million Hope spacecraft, suggest the 12-kilometer-wide body instead formed from the same material as Mars, researchers revealed this week at the annual meeting of the European Geosciences Union. The imagery, taken during a 10 March flyby, indicates that Deimos’s surface is covered by volcanic basalts like those on Mars, with no signs of the carbon-rich rock more often found on ast...

Eleven science stories likely to make big news in 2023
As the COVID-19 pandemic enters its fourth year as a global health emergency, researchers will continue pushing to help make the disease manageable and ordinary. They will track hundreds of subvariants of Omicron, the highly transmissible but seemingly less lethal strain of SARSCoV-2 that dominated in 2022. Virologists will watch the virus’ evolution this year to see whether it has finally slowed or a more dangerous variant pops up, evading much of the immunity that humanity has built up to previous ones. Vaccine researchers hope to develop new shots that provide broad protection against a variety of coronaviruses.  Ano...

Why You ’ re Grinding Your Teeth —And How to Stop
One morning around week six of the COVID-19 lockdown, I woke up to discover I’d gnashed a molar-sized crack down the back of my night guard, the device I wear to protect my teeth from the grinding I do in my sleep. I’d worn the acrylic barrier every night for years with minimal erosion, but suddenly I’d gnawed right through it. Like many Americans who have spent the last few years wondering where the stress and fear building up in their bodies could possibly go, the answer turned out to be my mouth. Since 2020, dentists and other oral health professionals around the world have recorded a sharp uptick in t...

Melatonin Overdoses Among Kids Are Up 530%, New Research Finds

Depression Screening of Patients with Neurological Disorders in an Outpatient Setting
CNS Spectr. 2022 Apr;27(2):251. doi: 10.1017/S1092852922000633.ABSTRACTDepression is a widespread comorbidity associated with a number of neurological disorders. Untreated depression has negative impacts on patients with neurological disorders, including intensification of pain, increase in symptomatology, impaired quality of life, and nonadherence to treatment. Nonadherence can lead to disease progression, resulting in poor outcomes. Early detection of depression and prompt intervention can substantially impact the mortality, morbidity, and disease burden of this at-risk population. The American Academy of Neurology recom...
