BACKGROUND: Chronic respiratory diseases are a leading cause of mortality in the USA, with considerable regional disparities influenced by environmental, occupational, and behavioural risk factors. This study aimed to quantify levels of, and trends in, the burden of chronic respiratory diseases in the USA from 1990 to 2023, with estimates of prevalence, mortality, and disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs); identify risk factors contributing to this burden; and project prevalence trends until...

CONCLUSIONS: Clinical neuropsychologists are uniquely positioned to advance the science and assessment of learning disorders by integrating academic findings with developmental, cognitive, psychiatric, and medical information to clarify why a student is struggling and to guide individualized treatment planning. Such efforts have the potential to reduce disparities that confer increased risk for lifelong neuropsychological challenges.

A 53-year-old man presented with exertional chest pain. The electrocardiogram and PMcardio smartphone application flagged ischemic changes. Urgent coronary angiography revealed a thrombotic occlusion of the proximal right coronary artery, treated by percutaneous coronary intervention with two drug-eluting stents and restoration of coronary flow.

CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: This survey study found that HPEEs were associated with subjective reports of olfactory loss among farmers but not with their measured smell identification. These findings underscore the importance of incorporating both objective and subjective measures of olfaction in epidemiologic research.

Rural women veterans with chronic pain face unique challenges accessing pain care. To optimize nonpharmacological care for this population, we piloted an 8-week behavioral group intervention. This study explores participants' experiences with the gender-specific virtual group. The program was piloted with six groups of 3-8 rural women veterans with chronic pain. After completing the intervention, participants were interviewed about their experiences. Two qualitative methodologists inductively...

CONCLUSIONS: IIV-D, particularly CoV, may be a sensitive cognitive marker of early NSD and predict short-term disease progression. Measures of iSD did not demonstrate predictive utility. Findings support integrating cognitive dispersion metrics into early detection strategies for prodromal synucleinopathies, though replication is needed to confirm generalizability and clinical utility.

CONCLUSIONS: These findings suggest this suicide PRS may reflect genetic mechanisms influencing IFG differences in BD. Given the modest sample size, replication of these preliminary findings in large-scale diverse cohorts is required to determine whether including this PRS and/or the corresponding IFG values could improve multimodal BD suicidal behavior prediction algorithms.

Unintentional pediatric firearm-related injuries constitute a public health challenge. This cross-sectional research study examines how children's experience with firearms, parent-level supervision and training, and youth exposure to firearms is associated with youths' knowledge about and behavior with firearms. One hundred sixty-three children aged 10-12, all with firearm exposure, and their parents participated. Self-report data from youth and parents on youth firearm experience and knowledge;...

CONCLUSIONS: These data suggest that hope is associated with an ovarian tumor gene expression profile characterized by reduced epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and inflammatory activity, and increased activity of a transcription factor promoting cellular immunity. These findings highlight potential biological implications of a resilience factor such as hope, but need replication with more robust assessments of hope.

BACKGROUND: Second-hand smoke (SHS) exposure remains a major source of morbidity and mortality among non-smokers. This study presents the first dedicated Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) publication to systematically quantify SHS prevalence and evaluate its effect as a global risk factor across a broader range of outcomes.

Military sexual trauma (MST) poses a significant public health concern within military populations, with enduring health consequences including the development of eating disorders (EDs). This review synthesizes existing literature to explore the association between MST and EDs among U.S. military populations. A systematic search of electronic databases including PubMed, Embase, and PsycINFO was conducted. Inclusion criteria included observational studies published in peer-reviewed journals,...

This column describes a state-funded initiative that provides intensive inpatient care for individuals whose chronic homelessness appears to be driven by three factors: serious mental illness, the inability to be engaged in care even with repeated assertive outreach, and fulfillment of the criteria for involuntary admission (usually by virtue of grave disability). Stable housing and ongoing engagement in care are the key outcomes. For the initial cohort of patients with 6 months of follow-up...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Diagnoses of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in Australian children are increasing, and assessment wait times remain long. Expanding diagnosis and management to upskilled general practitioners (GPs) has been proposed, but evidence is limited. To describe the referral pathways, wait times and medication outcomes in the first 207 children diagnosed with ADHD in 2023-26 by four GPs trained in ADHD management in Nepean Blue Mountains Local Health District,...

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and chronic tic disorders (CTDs) are highly heritable. Rare mutations confer large risks for OCD and CTDs but only four high-confidence (hc) genes have been identified. Here we analyzed whole-exome sequencing data from 3,964 individuals with OCD, CTDs or both, including 2,418 trios. We found an excess in cases of de novo and rare protein-damaging mutations and identified 36 hc genes (false discovery rate < 0.1), including four previously identified hc genes...

Subjective cognitive decline (SCD) refers to cognitive concerns that may occur with or without objective impairment on standardized testing. Studies suggest that SCD may be an early clinical marker of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias, and that it can predict future objective cognitive decline and progression to dementia. However, the research that supports these conclusions is primarily based on samples with homogeneous socioeconomic and cultural backgrounds. The limited studies in...
