Article Abstract

More than 100 types of RNA modifications have been identified in mammalian cells, among which N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most prevalent. This reversible and dynamic modification involves methyltransferases, demethylases, and reader proteins. Aberrant expression of m6A-related regulatory proteins in the nervous system significantly impacts neuronal physiology, contributing to mental disorders such as depression, autism spectrum disorder, and schizophrenia. This review summarizes the role of m6A methylation in the pathogenesis of mental disorders and highlights its potential as a biomarker and therapeutic target, providing a comprehensive reference for future research and clinical interventions.

Background: People with dementia who have a fall can experience both physical and psychological effects, often leading to diminished independence. Falls impose economic costs on the healthcare system. Despite elevated fall risks in dementia populations, evidence supporting effective home-based interventions remains limited.

Engaging residents with the support available at community-based residential mental health rehabilitation facilities is an ongoing challenge for health services. This study explored factors associated with residential rehabilitation engagement across Queensland, Australia through regression modelling of cross-sectional data from a statewide benchmarking activity completed in 2023 (n = 208). The Residential Rehabilitation Engagement Scale (RRES) assessed each resident's rehabilitation engagement.
