This study reveals three distinct classes of caregiver-reported expressive language abilities in individuals with Down syndrome, with most belonging to higher or middle classes, and identifies factors associated with lower abilities such as female gender, use of sign language, reduced pronunciation, and certain school arrangements.

The abstract proposes a new “KYNA-NMDA-α7nAChR-centric” approach to treating substance use disorders by achieving kynurenic acid (KYNA) homeostasis through integrative pathophysiology and pharmacology, with a focus on the kynurenine pathway and investigational medications such as memantine, galantamine, and N-acetylcysteine.

The dominant genotype of Bordetella pertussis in South Africa from 2015-2019, characterized through whole genome sequencing, is ptxP3-ptxA1-ptxB2-prn2-fimH2, with no evidence of pertactin-deficient or other mutations in vaccine antigen genes, suggesting increasing cases are not due to genomic changes.

The RofA regulator in Streptococcus pyogenes M1(global) and M1(UK) lineages primarily regulates the pilus locus, with strain- and lineage-specific effects on other genes and potential impact of SNPs in M1UK on RofA regulation.

This umbrella review of 20 systematic reviews found low-quality evidence that telemedicine interventions, including exercise, education, and psychological treatments, have varying effects on pain intensity and disability in musculoskeletal pain conditions, with most effects favoring telemedicine. However, high-quality primary RCTs are needed to confirm these findings and assess safety, videoconferencing effectiveness, and the combination of different treatment approaches.

The study found that a Pt/MnO catalyst demonstrated ~10 times higher activity and >99% CO selectivity in the reverse water gas shift (RWGS) reaction compared to a Pt/SBA-15 catalyst, due to the generation of edge dislocations and lattice expansion caused by interfacial interactions, which weakened the Pt-CO bond and enhanced CO desorption.
