New research finds that adults with schizophrenia spectrum disorders have high rates of comorbid mental and substance use disorders and significant social and economic disadvantages, and only 26% received minimally adequate treatment. Meeting the needs of people with schizophrenia spectrum disorders will require innovative interventions and implementation to improve access to and use of evidence-based approaches, the authors argue. The research was published today in Psychiatric Services in Advance.
The researchers, led by Natalie Bareis, Ph.D., ...

Following Russia’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine, many companies with operations in Russia withdrew from or severely curtailed their Russian operations. For example, Dell and McDonald’s ceased all operations in Russia after the invasion.
Many experts have argued that the corporate response to the Ukraine war is a striking example of stakeholder capitalism, a model where corporations are responsible for considering the interests of various stakeholders — including employees, customers, communities, governments and the environment — and not just ...
A Mississippi State biologist’s groundbreaking research in improving global nutrition and sustainability is featured this week in New Phytologist, a leading plant biology journal.
Ling Li, an associate professor in the MSU Department of Biological Sciences, has spent more than a decade studying rice and soybean crops, with the goal of providing a new strategy for crop improvement to increase protein content. Her work offers a potential solution to combat global protein deficiency, a condition affecting millions, particularly children, contributing to cognitive impairments, stunted growth and susceptibility to diseases like Kwashiorkor, ...
DETROIT — Wayne State University researchers recently received a grant from the Great Lakes Protection Fund to team with the Huron River Watershed Council, the Cleveland Water Alliance, Buffalo Niagara Waterkeeper and Resource Recycling Systems to help communities combat microplastics in water sources.
The project, “Mobilizing a Great Lakes Microplastic Action Network,” is led by Yongli Wager, Ph.D., associate professor of civil and environmental engineering and director of the Sustainable Water-Environment-Energy Technologies Lab in Wayne State’s College of Engineering. The project’s goal is to create ...

BINGHAMTON, N.Y. -- Telemedicine actually improves the quality of care and increases physician satisfaction in delivering that care, according to new research from Binghamton University, State University of New York.
We all remember when the COVID-19 lockdown in early 2020 upended the comfort of our daily routines. Businesses were forced to adapt to limited ways of engaging with customers, with varied levels of success.
Lockdown posed a unique challenge for physicians: they couldn’t meet with every patient in person. Telemedicine became not only an alternative but the best option for seeing patients in remote areas or where infection rates ...
Quasars are the most luminous objects in the Universe and are powered by material accreting onto supermassive black holes at the centers of galaxies. Studies have shown that early-Universe quasars have black holes so massive that they must have been swallowing gas at very high rates, leading most astronomers to believe that these quasars formed in some of the densest environments in the Universe where gas was most available. However, observational measurements seeking to confirm this conclusion have thus far yielded conflicting results. Now, a new study using the Dark Energy Camera ...
Fatah Kashanchi, Professor, Virology, School of Systems Biology, College of Science; Director, Laboratory of Molecular Virology, received funding for the study: “Parasite-Derived Vesicles in Babesia virulence and Vaccine Development.”
Babesia is a parasite spread by ticks. If humans contract babesiosis, they can experience influenza-like symptoms, bleeding, and organ failure. The condition is rare and affects fewer than 3,000 people in the United States per year.
Kashanchi will isolate extracellular vesicles (EVs) and utilize them to treat primary monocyte-derived macrophages ...
NEW YORK, NY (Sept. 23, 2024)--Children born during the first year of the pandemic, including those exposed to COVID in utero, were no more likely to screen positive for autism than unexposed or pre-pandemic children, found researchers from Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons.
The study, published in JAMA Network Open, is the first report on autism risk among pandemic-era children.
“Autism risk is known to increase with virtually any kind of insult to mom during pregnancy, including infection and stress,” says Dani Dumitriu, ...
