CONCLUSIONS: While the PBA-s demonstrates adequate internal consistency, our results revealed high rates of non-endorsement (i.e., item total scores = 0) and a variable factor structure with disease progression. Thus, the PBA-s may not distinguish mild changes in behavioral symptoms that might occur in early HD-ISS stages of disease.

CONCLUSION: The NSD-ISS, informed by biological and clinical data, identifies individuals at risk for clinical phenoconversion before clinical diagnoses occur, and its utilization may identify optimal participants for enrollment in disease modifying clinical trials. DAT imaging may serve as an appropriate marker of disease progression in NSD.

The study of cytoskeletal proteins has been limited by some of their intrinsic properties, such as fixed intracellular localization and insolubility, which limit the implementation of many protein-protein interaction assays. Far Western blotting is a powerful biochemical technique used to detect and quantify protein-protein interactions on a membrane, addressing limitations in cytoskeletal research. This method combines traditional Western blotting with protein overlay assays to identify and...

CONCLUSIONS: The results provide preliminary evidence that a structured, PCIT-informed CDI skills practice model can be feasibly implemented by paraprofessionals and is associated with meaningful improvements in caregiver behavior and child behavior outcomes in the first 2-3 months following service initiation. The findings support BSF as a promising workforce-embedded approach and inform future controlled studies examining effectiveness, sustainability, and broader implementation outcomes.

Eating-related disorders such as anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa and obesity are associated with high rates of morbidity and mortality in the United States. To investigate the neuroanatomical structures involved in appetite and weight change, we employed lesion symptom mapping. 358 patients with focal brain lesions and appetite ratings were recruited, as well as 48 patients with pre- and post-lesion weight records. Partial least squares regression identified a significant association between...

CONCLUSION: Near-physiologic brain activity may be restored during prolonged CPR if oxygenation thresholds are met and is associated with ROSC. Further research is needed to evaluate survival outcomes.

CONCLUSION: In goals of care conversations with Veterans with cardiopulmonary disease, goals evolved, revealing personalized insights that could shape their treatment plans. Variations in participant readiness and challenges in terminology emerged and progressed within single encounters.

CONCLUSION: Scaled improvement in smoking cessation assistance across accredited cancer programs is feasible and achievable relatively quickly. Findings provide a framework to guide national adoption for smoking cessation assistance as standard care for all patients with newly diagnosed cancer.

CONCLUSIONS: This study highlighted the association between family history, solar insolation, and gender in international patients with bipolar I disorder. Given the profound effects of sunlight on human health, the family of patients with bipolar disorder who live in the same location with the same solar insolation, and especially females, may be at increased risk for a mood disorder.

Isolated/idiopathic rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder (iRBD) is a usually prodromal manifestation of neurodegenerative disorders with α-synuclein pathology: Parkinson's disease (PD), dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB), and multiple system atrophy (MSA). Clinical trials in the iRBD population face substantial barriers: limited access to well-characterized cohorts, inconsistent assessment protocols across centers, and the absence of validated biomarkers of disease burden. The North American...

Disorders of pregnancy and psychiatric conditions in mothers and affected children have high rates of comorbidity and underlying mechanistic overlap. We propose that extracellular vesicles (EVs) may subserve this shared psycho-obstetric risk. EVs are small lipid bilayer-bound particles containing regulatory nucleic acids and proteins that are released from cells into circulation, where they readily cross blood-brain and placental barriers. In pregnancy, EVs are produced in large numbers by the...

INTRODUCTION: Decision-making is a complex form of cognitive function that declines with age and is highly susceptible to impairment from dementia due to Alzheimer's and related neurogenerative diseases. Emotions and other non-cognitive assets are also believed to influence decision-making ability. The Advancing Reliable Measurement in Cognitive Aging and Decision-making Ability (ARMCADA) research initiative seeks to understand how measures of emotion and non-cognitive influences of...

CONCLUSIONS: Occupational factors may increase women's lung cancer risk beyond smoking, necessitating targeted prevention and future research.

Chronic pain represents heritable conditions linked to suicide death. It has been suggested that a shared genetic predisposition may contribute to this relationship, but there has not yet been a comprehensive assessment of genetic and clinical overlaps of different types of chronic pain with suicide death. Here, we integrated whole-genome sequencing and electronic health records from 986 unrelated individuals of European ancestry who died by suicide in the Utah Suicide Mortality Research Study...
