Non-suicidal self-injury and suicide attempts among individuals seeking assessment for Ehlers-Danlos Syndromes.
Individuals with Ehlers-Danlos Syndromes (EDS) and Generalized Hypermobility Spectrum Disorder (G-HSD) experience psychological distress and are at an increased risk for suicidal behaviors. The current study examined associations between factors uniquely relevant to this population and prior suicide…
Dual regulatory effects of sludge-derived biochar synergized with Priestia megaterium on soil phosphorus activation and lead mineralization.
Phosphorus-based materials like hydroxyapatite (HAP) are widely used to immobilize lead (Pb) in contaminated soils and water, but phosphorus scarcity limits their sustainable use. This study proposes a synergistic remediation strategy combining sludge-derived biochar (SSB) with phosphate-solubilizin…
Interface behavior of brown soil under freeze-thaw action: Activated the adsorption sites and increased the resistance to desorption for Pb2.
Soil contamination in cold and temperate permafrost regions poses a significant threat to human health and ecosystem integrity. Hence, a comprehensive investigation into the impact of freeze-thaw cycle (FTC) and the ratio of freeze-thaw duration (FTR) on the capacity of brown soil to retain Pb2+ is…
Too high and too loose: dysautonomia and the hypertensive paradox in hypermobility disorders.
Hypertension in hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (hEDS) and hypermobility spectrum disorders (HSD) represents an increasingly recognized but poorly understood clinical phenomenon. This review addresses the unique pathophysiology, diagnostic considerations, and management challenges of hypertension…
AI-Based Triage Decision Support: Multisite Economic Evaluation in the United States.
Emergency department (ED) visits have risen in the United States, with demand for emergency care exceeding supply. Resultant ED crowding harms patients, causes staff burnout, and places financial strain on hospitals, payers, and patients alike. Digital tools, including those leveraging artificial in…
Gamified Assessment of Cognitive Impulsivity in Eating Disorders and Mental Ill-Health: Mixed Methods Study Incorporating Lived Experience Co-Design and Evaluation.
Cognitive impulsivity is a multifaceted construct associated with symptom severity, functional impairment, and poor quality of life in eating disorders (EDs) and mental ill-health. However, objective assessment of cognitive impulsivity is piecemeal and complex, with many assessment tools lacking psy…
Water-soluble atmospheric dust as a persistent surface electrolyte: environmental controls and implications for carbonate surface interactions in urban settings.
Atmospheric dust is widely recognised as an active component of surface-atmosphere systems; however, its chemical influence on carbonate materials is commonly interpreted in terms of bulk deposition, visible crust formation, or episodic pollution events. Such perspectives overlook the water-soluble…
Psychoactive medication use and cardiac electrophysiology in hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome and hypermobility spectrum disorder: a retrospective analysis.
Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) and hypermobility spectrum disorder (HSD) are connective tissue disorders associated with musculoskeletal manifestations and significant psychiatric comorbidities. Psychoactive medications commonly utilized in these populations raise concerns regarding potential cardiac…
