Suicidality and Self-Harm Behavior of Adolescents During the Early Phase of the War in Ukraine
War profoundly impacts people's lives, causing death, displacement and psychological trauma but limited research has investigated adolescents ’ suicidality in this context. We compared suicidality or self-harm behavior among adolescents in regions that were, and were not, affected by Russia’s initial invasion of Ukraine in 2014.

Ukrainian National Transplant Program During Active Military Invasion
Purpose: Since the beginning of full-scale armed aggression, organ transplantations in Ukraine have been halted due to the need to reconfigure the healthcare system, ongoing missile attacks, and drone strikes with explosives. The influx of refugees from Ukraine and internally displaced persons added to the complexity of the situation. The closure of airspace resulted in additional challenges in adhering to transplantation rules. However, the national waiting list continued to grow. This led to an understanding of the urgent need for a swift response in the field of transplantation. (Source: The Journal of Heart and Lung Transplantation)

Scalable gradients enable Hamiltonian Monte Carlo sampling for phylodynamic inference under episodic birth-death-sampling models
We present here a linear-time algorithm to compute the gradient of the birth-death model sampling density with respect to all time-varying parameters, and we implement this algorithm within a gradient-based Hamiltonian Monte Carlo (HMC) sampler to alleviate the computational burden of conducting inference under a wide variety of structures of, as well as priors for, EBDS processes. We assess this approach using three different real world data examples, including the HIV epidemic in Odesa, Ukraine, seasonal influenza A/H3N2 virus dynamics in New York state, America, and Ebola outbreak in West Africa. HMC sampling exhibits a...

Mental health in Ukraine in 2023
CONCLUSION: Our findings show that approximately one in three adults living in Ukraine report problems consistent with meeting diagnostic requirements for a mental health disorder 18 months after Russia's full-scale invasion. Ukraine's mental healthcare system has been severely compromised by the loss of infrastructure and human capital due to the war. These findings may help to identify those most vulnerable so that limited resources can be used most effectively.PMID:38533632 | DOI:10.1192/j.eurpsy.2024.12 (Source: Journal of the Association of European Psychiatrists)

Genetic determinants of global developmental delay and intellectual disability in Ukrainian children
ConclusionsThis is the first comprehensive study on genetic causes of GDD/ID conducted in Ukraine. This study provides the first comprehensive investigation of the genetic causes of GDD/ID in Ukraine. It presents a substantial dataset of diagnosed genetic conditions associated with GDD/ID. The results support the utilization of NGS gene panels and WES as first-line diagnostic tools for GDD/ID cases, particularly in resource-limited settings. A comprehensive approach to resolving VUS, including computational effect prediction, population frequency analysis, and phenotype assessment, can aid in further reclassification of de...

South Korea to join the European Union ’s research funding program
The European Commission announced today that South Korea will join Horizon Europe, as the 7-year, €95.5 billion ($104 billion) research funding program continues to expand far beyond the continent.
South Korea will be the first East Asian country to “associate to” Horizon Europe, paying into the program so that the nation’s researchers can apply for and lead Horizon grants on an equal footing with scientists from EU member states. Associating “presents an opportunity for Korean researchers to tackle globally important research topics and expand their international contacts and collaborators,” says Park Se...
