    Abstract The production of the pyrimidine moiety in thiamine synthesis, 2-methyl-4-amino-5-hydroxymethylpyrimidine phosphate (HMP-P), has been described to proceed through the Thi5-dependent pathway in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and other yeast. Previous work found that ScThi5 functioned poorly in a heterologous context. Here we report a bacterial ortholog to the yeast HMP-P synthase (Thi5) was necessary for HMP synthesis in Legionella pneumophila. Unlike ScThi5, LpThi5 functioned in vivo in Salmonella enterica under multiple growth conditions. The protein LpThi5 is a dimer that binds pyridoxal-5'-phosphate (PLP), apparently without a solvent-exposed Schiff base. A small percentage of LpThi5 protein co-purifies with a bound molecule that can be converted to HMP. Analysis of variant proteins both in vivo and in vitro confirmed that residues in sequence motifs conserved across bacterial and eukaryotic orthologs modulate the function of LpThi5. IMPORTANCE: Thiamine is an essential vitamin for the vast majority of organisms. There are multiple strategies to synthesize and salvage this vitamin. The predominant pathway for synthesis of the pyrimidine moiety of thiamine involves the Fe-S cluster protein ThiC. An alternative pathway utilizes Thi5, a novel enzyme that uses PLP as a substrate. The Thi5-dependent pathway is poorly characterized in yeast and has not been characterized in Bacteria. Here we demonstrate that a Thi5-dependent pathway is necessary for thiamine biosynthesis in Legionella pneumophila and provide biochemical data to extend knowledge of the Thi5 enzyme, the corresponding biosynthetic pathway, and the role of metabolic network architecture in optimizing its function.

    Abstract Psychiatric advance directives (PADs) can help adults with serious mental illnesses preserve their autonomy and avoid involuntary interventions during an incapacitating mental health crisis. A PAD is a legal document prepared while mentally competent and states the person's treatment preferences to be implemented during a future crisis, ideally with the advocacy of an authorized proxy decision maker. PADs have been available in the United States for more than three decades but have yet to be robustly implemented in practice. This Open Forum describes PADs metaphorically as a device for remote communication among the person with mental illness, a proxy decision maker, and health care providers. Barriers to PAD usage occur on both "transmitter" and "receiver" sides and must be addressed to advance PAD implementation.

    Abstract Background: Psychiatric advance directives (PADs) are used to document a person's treatment preferences for a future mental health crisis. Peer support specialists have been proposed to facilitate PADs, but little is known about the quality of peer versus clinician facilitated PADs.
    Aims: This study examined whether PAD documents facilitated by peer specialists and non-peer clinicians differed in the mix of treatment requests and refusals and expert ratings of feasibility and consistency.
    Methods: Analyses were conducted of content and expert ratings of 72 PAD documents from a randomized trial of PAD facilitation by peers and clinicians on Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) teams. A count of treatment refusals and requests was used to classify documents as predominantly prescriptive, proscriptive, or balanced. Regression was used to estimate relationships between PAD facilitator type and content.
    Results: Peer-facilitated PADs were significantly more likely to be predominantly prescriptive than were PADs facilitated by non-peer clinicians. Prescriptive PADs were more likely to receive expert ratings of high feasibility and consistency.
    Conclusions: Results should alleviate some clinicians' apprehensions regarding the appropriateness of peer-facilitated PADs, such as the concern that people with lived experience with mental illness might encourage other consumers to use their PAD primarily for treatment refusals.

    Abstract Background: The juvenile justice system in the USA adjudicates over seven hundred thousand youth in the USA annually with significant behavioral offenses. This study aimed to test the effect of juvenile justice involvement on adult criminal outcomes.
    Methods: Analyses were based on a prospective, population-based study of 1420 children followed up to eight times during childhood (ages 9-16; 6674 observations) about juvenile justice involvement in the late 1990 and early 2000s. Participants were followed up years later to assess adult criminality, using self-report and official records. A propensity score (i.e. inverse probability) weighting approach was used that approximated an experimental design by balancing potentially confounding characteristics between children with
    Results: Between-groups differences on variables that elicit a juvenile justice referral (e.g. violence, property offenses, status offenses, and substance misuse) were attenuated after applying propensity-based inverse probability weights. Participants with a history of juvenile justice involvement were more likely to have later official and violent felony charges, and to self-report police contact and spending time in jail (ORs from 2.5 to 3.3). Residential juvenile justice involvement was associated with the highest risk of both, later official criminal records and self-reported criminality (ORs from 5.1 to 14.5). Sensitivity analyses suggest that our findings are likely robust to potential unobserved confounders.
    Conclusions: Juvenile justice involvement was associated with increased risk of adult criminality, with residential services associated with highest risk. Juvenile justice involvement may catalyze rather than deter from adult offending.

    Abstract Background: A psychiatric advance directive (PAD) is designed to prevent involuntary mental health interventions by enabling people with serious mental illnesses to plan ahead for their own treatment during a future incapacitating crisis. This study implemented PAD facilitation in assertive community treatment (ACT) teams.
    Aims: We examined ACT clients' attitudes toward PAD facilitators, satisfaction with PAD facilitation, the short-term impact of PAD completion on subjective sense of empowerment and attitudes toward treatment, and whether the type of PAD facilitator made a difference.
    Methods: Participants were randomly assigned to be offered PAD facilitation by a peer support specialist or non-peer ACT team clinician, and interviewed at baseline (
    Results: There was no evidence of bias against peer-facilitators. There was a modest positive impact of PAD facilitation on treatment attitudes and empowerment.
    Conclusions: PAD facilitation by peer support specialists and others working in community mental health settings supports recovery.
