Systematic review reveals psilocybin reduces obsessive-compulsive behaviors across clinical and preclinical evidence
2025-10-28
MELBOURNE, Victoria, AUSTRALIA, 28 October 2025 -- A systematic review published today in Psychedelics by Mr. James Gattuso and colleagues at the Florey Institute of Neuroscience and Mental Health synthesizes clinical and preclinical evidence on psilocybin's effects on obsessive-compulsive behaviours, revealing consistent therapeutic potential across human patients and validated animal models. The comprehensive analysis examined 13 eligible studies identified through systematic database searches, including four clinical trials involving patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder and body dysmorphic disorder, alongside nine preclinical investigations using established behavioural paradigms. ...
Emerging roles of neuromodulation in the management of treatment-resistant OCD
2025-10-28
Lausanne, Switzerland – 28 October 2025. In a peer-reviewed article published today in Brain Medicine, a European research team presents a focused review of emerging neuromodulation techniques for treatment-resistant obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). The article, "Neuromodulation techniques in obsessive-compulsive disorder: Current state of the art," examines how transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), and deep brain stimulation (DBS) are changing clinical approaches for patients ...
All prey are not the same: marine predators face uneven nutritional payoffs
2025-10-28
The hunt is on and a predator finally zeroes in on its prey. The animal consumes the nutritious meal and moves on to forage for its next target. But how much prey does a predator need to consume?
Following a period of massive starvation among animals living along the California coast, University of California San Diego scientists began asking questions about predator sustenance and the value of prey consumption. Their investigations found that all prey are not the same, and this can have significant impacts on predator foraging. Even prey of the same size and weight within the same species can drastically vary in terms of the sustenance they provide, the study showed.

What drives sleep problems in long-term care facilities?
2025-10-28
Sleep problems affect more than one in five residents in long-term care facilities, with pain, daytime napping and certain medications emerging as key contributors.
An international team led by University of Waterloo researchers analyzed health records from more than 21,000 residents aged 65 and older living in 228 long-term care homes across New Brunswick and Saskatchewan between 2016 and 2021, using data from the standardized interRAI assessment system.
The researchers tracked who developed – or recovered from – sleep disturbances over time. At the start, nearly 22 per cent of residents had trouble sleeping, although ...
New antibiotic for drug-resistant bacteria found hiding in plain sight
2025-10-28
Chemists from the University of Warwick and Monash University have discovered a promising new antibiotic that shows activity against drug-resistant bacterial pathogens, including MRSA and VRE
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of the world’s most urgent health challenges, with the WHO’s new report showing there are ‘too few antibacterials in the pipeline’. Most of the ‘low-hanging fruit’ has already been found, and the limited commercial incentives deter investment in antibiotic ...
New mapping identifies urgent opportunities to strengthen Singapore’s children’s mental health ecosystem
2025-10-28
SINGAPORE, 28 October 2025 – A new report from the SingHealth Duke-NUS Global Health Institute (SDGHI), supported by the Octava Foundation, has mapped Singapore’s programmes supporting children’s mental health.
The study, Children’s Mental Health and Wellbeing in Singapore: A Landscape Brief, reviewed 43 programmes across public, private and civil society providers. While it found a vibrant ecosystem committed to accessibility and inclusion, with strong momentum and promising initiatives, the report also noted some areas to strengthen, including fragmentation, workforce gaps, and a lack of sustainable funding. Mental health ...
New research reveals significant prevalence of valvular heart disease among older Americans
2025-10-28
SAN FRANCISCO – OCTOBER 27, 2025 – Results from the PREVUE-VALVE study suggest that there are currently at least 4.7 million people aged 65-85 living with moderate or greater valvular heart disease (VHD) in the United States, and at least 10.6 million with clinically significant VHD, most of whom are unaware of their condition. The prevalence of VHD increases sharply with advanced age—a finding that suggests a need for screening and treatment programs to ensure broad access to appropriate care.
Findings were reported today ...
Outdoor air pollution linked to higher incidence of breast cancer
2025-10-28
CORVALLIS, Ore. – Women living in parts of the United States with lower air quality, especially neighborhoods with heavy emissions from motor vehicles, are more likely to develop breast cancer, according to a multiyear analysis involving more than 400,000 women and 28,000 breast cancer cases.
The research, which included Veronica Irvin of the Oregon State University College of Health, was published in the American Journal of Public Health.
The project combined data from five large breast cancer studies conducted over multiple decades that tracked ...
Thiophene-doped fully conjugated covalent organic frameworks for efficient photocatalytic hydrogen peroxide production
2025-10-28
The research teams of Professors Yu Tang and Fengjuan Chen from Lanzhou University proposed a new mixed ligand strategy. By introducing complementary building units into covalent organic frameworks (COFs) and systematically regulating their ratios, they achieved synergistic optimization of the four key steps in the photocatalytic hydrogen peroxide synthesis, effectively breaking through the constraints between various performance indicators and significantly improving the overall catalytic efficiency. Studies have shown that the introduction of the DTTA unit significantly broadens the light absorption range and enhances the charge carrier separation ability; while the TA component ...
Earth’s ‘boring billion years’ created the conditions for complex life
2025-10-28
A study led by researchers from the University of Sydney and the University of Adelaide has revealed how the breakup of an ancient supercontinent 1.5 billion years ago transformed Earth’s surface environments, paving the way for the emergence of complex life.
“Our approach shows how plate tectonics has helped shape the habitability of the Earth,” lead author Professor Dietmar Müller said. “It provides a new way to think about how tectonics, climate and life co-evolved through deep time.”
The research, published in ...
