A randomized controlled trial tested a mobile health intervention designed to reduce self-injurious thoughts and behaviors in LGBTQ+ individuals through brief, targeted messaging focused on belongingness and reducing perceived burdensomeness. The intervention was evaluated using ecological momentary assessment, which captures real-time data on self-injurious thoughts and behaviors in participants' daily lives. This approach addresses a critical gap in suicide prevention research for a population experiencing elevated rates of self-harm. The study's use of real-world digital delivery and continuous monitoring offers a scalable model for mental health support. [1]
Stroke rehabilitation and leisure participation. A meta-analysis examined rehabilitation interventions aimed at increasing leisure participation in adult stroke survivors. Leisure engagement is relevant to recovery outcomes and quality of life post-stroke. The review synthesized evidence across multiple intervention types and participation levels, providing clarity on which approaches show the strongest evidence for restoring meaningful activities. [2]
Female athlete health screening tools. A systematic review synthesized self-report health screening tools used across female athletes, assessing their domain coverage, validation quality, and application across participation levels. Given the multifaceted nature of female athlete health, the review identified gaps in existing screening approaches and highlighted tools that comprehensively assess physical, mental, and social health domains.

P7C3 compounds as mitochondrial therapeutics. A systematic review examined P7C3 compounds, aminopropyl carbazole derivatives that activate nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT), as potential targeted therapeutics for brain disorders. These compounds were originally identified through phenotypic screening for proneurogenic activity and may offer a mechanistic approach to neurodegeneration and cognitive dysfunction. [4]
