Article Abstract
Background: Individuals residing in rural areas and those with low socioeconomic status are typically underrepresented in clinical research. Strategies to recruit more representative populations should be explored. This study aimed to compare screening and consenting proportions in a West Virginia-based pregnancy cohort study of individuals sent a recruitment message via the MyChart patient portal, overall and stratified by rurality and insurance status (proxy for socioeconomic status).
Methods: Between October 2022 and April 2023, 1024 recruitment messages were sent via MyChart, a healthcare-affiliated portal. Screening and consenting proportions were calculated overall and stratified by rurality and insurance status. Logistic regression was used to compare participation proportions.
Results: The recruiting method yielded 2.8 % consent. Screening and consenting proportions were similar across stratified groups.
Conclusions: Healthcare-affiliated portals may be a useful strategy to recruit typically underrepresented populations in pregnancy-related research.

The potential use of psychedelic-assisted therapy for adolescents with mental illness has sparked both interest and concern. Modern psychedelic research has focused on adults, and adolescents younger than 18 years are typically excluded due to ethical and legal challenges. To explore whether adolescents have been included in 21st century psychedelic research, we conducted a scoping review of the medical literature from January, 2000, to April, 2025.

Background: Dietary acculturation-the process by which migrants adopt the dietary patterns of their host country-has become increasingly relevant given the unprecedented scale of international migration. This phenomenon is often associated with a shift from traditional diets toward host-country patterns that are higher in ultra processed foods, added sugars, and fats, with potential implications for chronic disease risk.
Objective: This mini-review aims to synthesize global evidence on the dietary transformations experienced by migrant populations and to assess the health implications and modulating factors influencing these changes.

Spatial transcriptomics (ST) enables gene expression profiling while preserving the spatial architecture of intact tissue. Analyzing ST data often proceeds by first extracting cell-level information, typically through cell segmentation or cell-type deconvolution. However, they can fail to capture important expression patterns, for example from fragile or underrepresented cell types, subcellular structures like neurites, and extracellular expression.

Dementia-friendly communities can increase community participation and social wellbeing for people impacted by dementia. However, culturally and linguistically diverse people have typically been excluded or underrepresented from dementia-friendly community design processes. This study aimed to establish the factors that affect community engagement for culturally and linguistically diverse people impacted by dementia, and their suggestions for a dementia-friendly community in Canterbury-Bankstown, Australia.
