Article Abstract

Mental illness stigma is a complex public health issue that creates barriers for clients needing access to quality mental health services. Most research focuses on interpersonal stigma with emerging research examining intrapersonal and structural stigma in the healthcare setting. This commentary focuses on how to address the gaps in the existing research to elicit greater organizational/structural change in healthcare systems and positive health outcomes. It describes key components of a 5-year multiphase study that aims to explore and address multiple levels of stigma holistically among stakeholders including physicians, nurses, protective services staff, and patients/families in an emergency department setting. Unique to this study is the inclusion of a patient research partner who will be positioned as a co-designer throughout the project. The goal of this study will be to explore, address, understand, and evaluate interventions that mitigate stigma in healthcare at both the individual and structural/organizational levels.

Epigenetic processes, such as DNA methylation, show potential as biological markers and mechanisms underlying gene-environment interplay in the prediction of mental health and other brain-based phenotypes. However, little is known about how peripheral epigenetic patterns relate to individual differences in the brain itself. An increasingly popular approach to address this is by combining epigenetic and neuroimaging data; yet, research in this area is almost entirely comprised of cross-sectional studies in adults.

Disrupted gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) neurotransmission may contribute to the pathophysiology of schizophrenia. Reductions in hippocampal GABAergic neurons have been found in schizophrenia, and increased hippocampal perfusion has been described in schizophrenia and in people at clinical high-risk for psychosis (CHRp). We have also found decreases in hippocampal GABA receptors containing the α5 subunit (GABARα5) in a well-validated neurodevelopmental rat model of relevance for schizophrenia.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the radiological-functional outcomes and rotator cuff (RC) status following humeral intramedullary nailing (IMN), comparing the anterolateral standard approach (group 1) and the percutaneous antero-acromial approach (group 2).

Methods: This observational prospective monocentric study was conducted from August 2021 to March 2023. Inclusion criteria included: two-parts proximal (surgical neck) and diaphyseal Humeral fractures treated with IMN; 12-month follow-up; age between 18 and 85 years; good performance status (excluding neurologic deficits or mental disorders).

A brake on the blink: EEG antecedents of movement suppression and urge to move.

Clin Neurophysiol

September 2025

Human Motor Control Section, National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD, USA.

Objective: To compare brain activity before voluntary movement and before the same movement when it was released from suppression. This study examined the Bereitschaftspotential (BP) and beta band event-related desynchronization (bERD) during active blink suppression, contrasting these with voluntary blinking, where these EEG correlates of motor preparation are well-established.

Methods: Fifteen healthy adults performed voluntary blink and blink suppression-release tasks with EEG recording.
