    Abstract Sedentary behavior contributes to a shortened life expectancy in individuals with schizophrenia-spectrum disorders (SSDs), highlighting the need for effective interventions to improve health. This study examined whether reduced ecological momentary assessment (EMA) measures of sedentary activities were observed in individuals with SSDs who participated in a 24-week randomized trial of cognitive behavioral social skills training (CBSST) and either intranasal oxytocin or placebo (NCT01752712).

    Abstract The blood-brain barrier (BBB) plays a pivotal role in protecting the central nervous system (CNS), shielding it from potential harmful entities. A natural decline of BBB function with aging has been reported in both animal and human studies, which may contribute to cognitive decline and neurodegenerative disorders. Limited data also suggest that being female may be associated with protective effects on BBB function. Here we investigated age and sex-dependent trajectories of perfusion and BBB water exchange rate (kw) across the lifespan in 186 cognitively normal participants spanning the ages of 8 to 92 years old, using a novel non-invasive diffusion prepared pseudo-continuous arterial spin labeling (DP-pCASL) MRI technique. We found that the pattern of BBB kw decline with aging varies across brain regions. Moreover, results from our novel DP-pCASL technique revealed a remarkable decline in BBB kw beginning in the early 60s, which was more pronounced in males. In addition, we observed sex differences in parietotemporal and hippocampal regions. Our findings provide in vivo results demonstrating sex differences in the decline of BBB function with aging, which may serve as a foundation for future investigations into perfusion and BBB function in neurodegenerative and other brain disorders.

    Abstract Tianeptine is an antidepressant drug approved for the treatment of major depressive disorder in countries other than the US. It is classified as an atypical tricyclic antidepressant and has shown potential benefits in addressing anxiety and irritable bowel disease. However, it is important to note that tianeptine is not approved for any use by the United States Federal Drug Administration (FDA). Despite its lack of approval by the FDA, tianeptine has been distributed online and at small retail locations. The term "gas station drugs" refers to a wide range of substances typically available for purchase from gas stations, corner stores, bodegas, mini marts, smoke shops, and the Internet. These substances may be produced commercially by drug manufacturers or in clandestine laboratories to mimic the effects of more well-known illicit/controlled substances such as marijuana, cocaine, opioids, etc. Tianeptine has made its way to convenience stores and gas station shelves, branded as "Zaza" and "Tianna Red." It can also be obtained online from independent vendors without a prescription. Misuse of tianeptine can lead to euphoric, opioid-like highs with the potential for chronic users to develop dependence and tolerance. Overdose and use in suicide attempts have also been documented. This manuscript is a narrative review, highlighting the dangers of tianeptine and other gas station drugs and underscoring the urgent need to regulate these substances.

    Abstract Fossilized lipids offer a rare glimpse into ancient ecosystems. 2-Methylhopanes in sedimentary rocks were once used to infer the importance of cyanobacteria as primary producers throughout geological history. However, the discovery of hopanoid C-2 methyltransferase (HpnP) in Alphaproteobacteria led to the downfall of this molecular proxy. In the present study, we re-examined the distribution of HpnP in a new phylogenetic framework including recently proposed candidate phyla and re-interpreted a revised geological record of 2-methylhopanes based on contamination-free samples. We show that HpnP was probably present in the last common ancestor of cyanobacteria, while the gene appeared in Alphaproteobacteria only around 750 million years ago (Ma). A subsequent rise of sedimentary 2-methylhopanes around 600 Ma probably reflects the expansion of Alphaproteobacteria that coincided with the rise of eukaryotic algae-possibly connected by algal dependency on microbially produced vitamin B

    Abstract Objective: Poorly-differentiated thyroid cancer (PDTC) is a highly aggressive malignancy which is recently defined and understudied in the radiologic literature. Necrosis is a key histopathologic criterion for the diagnosis of PDTC. We illustrate the current difficulty in accurate identification of histopathologic necrosis on preoperative imaging.
    Methods: A series of seven patients with the final diagnosis of PDTC from our institution were identified. Multimodality preoperative imaging was analyzed by two head and neck radiologists. Final pathology reports were queried confirming histopathologic evidence of necrosis.
    Results: Patients presented with a wide range of preoperative imaging features. A consistent imaging appearance confirming necrosis was not identified. All patients were subsequently upstaged to PDTC following final pathological analysis.
    Conclusion: A lack of definitive evidence of necrosis on preoperative imaging does not exclude the possibility of PDTC. We demonstrate the need for further research to establish a clear methodology for the preoperative diagnosis of PDTC.

    Abstract Background: A once-daily, three-pronged approach using an antibiotic, antibacterial, and retinoid may provide faster acne improvement versus monotherapy or dual-combination products. This post hoc analysis compared threshold acne lesion reductions with clindamycin phosphate 1.2%/adapalene 0.15%/benzoyl peroxide 3.1% (CAB) gel—the first FDA-approved triple-combination topical acne product—to its dyads and vehicle.
    Methods: Phase 2 (N=741; NCT03170388) and phase 3 (N=183; N=180; NCT04214639; NCT04214652), double-blind, 12-week studies randomized participants aged ≥9 years with moderate-to-severe acne to once-daily CAB or vehicle gel; the phase 2 study included three additional dyad gel arms. The pooled percentage of participants achieving ≥33%, ≥50%, and ≥75% reduction in inflammatory and noninflammatory acne lesions was evaluated.
    Results: As early as week 4 in the phase 2 study, ≥33% reduction in inflammatory lesions occurred in a significantly greater percentage of CAB gel-treated participants (82.7%) than with the 3 dyads and vehicle (61.1-69.8%; P<0.05, all). These early reductions were sustained throughout the study, with significantly (P<0.05) more CAB-treated participants achieving ≥50% reduction in inflammatory lesions versus dyads and vehicle from weeks 4-12. By week 12, CAB led to substantial reductions of ≥75% in significantly more participants than dyads and vehicle (65.8% vs 49.9-51.2% and 21.6%; P<0.05, all). Similar trends were observed for noninflammatory lesions in the phase 2 study and for inflammatory and noninflammatory lesions in the phase 3 studies.
    Conclusions: Lesion count reductions were significantly greater with CAB versus its dyads and vehicle gel as early as week 4, with substantial reductions observed after 12 weeks of treatment. This faster-acting and sustained efficacy of CAB gel—coupled with its optimized formulation, once-daily dosing, and tolerability—may positively impact treatment adherence.

    Abstract Objectives: To assess pain perception in patients undergoing manual cataract surgery versus femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery (FLACS) and pain perception of patients receiving anaesthesia at 2 different time points during the FLACS procedure. We also aimed to assess the factors affecting pain perception in these different study groups.
    Design: Prospective cohort comparison of patient-selected surgical approach.
    Participants: Patients undergoing delayed sequential bilateral cataract surgery at an ambulatory surgical centre in Ontario.
    Methods: Patients were assigned to 3 groups: a manual cataract surgery cohort (n = 30) and 2 FLACS cohorts, those who received neurolept anaesthesia just prior to draping for phacoemulsification (FLACS standard cohort; n = 38) and those who received neurolept anaesthesia prior to the femtosecond laser part of the procedure (FLACS early cohort; n = 35). Outcome metrics included pain scores on the visual analogue scale on postoperative day 0 and at postoperative week 1. Secondary outcome measures included anxiety scores, surgeon or anaesthesiologist patient cooperation scores, ocular metrics, and perioperative systemic vitals.
    Results: There were no significant differences in pain perception on postoperative day 0 and at postoperative week 1 among the manual cataract surgery and FLACS standard cohorts (p = 0.94 and p = 0.72, respectively) or FLACS early and FLACS standard cohorts (p = 0.76 and p = 0.67, respectively). Patients had higher pain scores during second-eye procedures than first-eye procedures.
    Conclusions: Cataract surgery technique or timing of anaesthesia for FLACS procedures does not affect pain perception postoperatively. Second-eye procedures are associated with higher pain scores than first-eye procedures.
