Abstract Background Working with goals is a critical yet often overlooked aspect of youth mental health and addictions care, with the potential to strengthen therapeutic relationships, support shared decision‐making, and improve outcomes. Despite its importance, there is no cohes...

A global consistent database of plankton and detritus from in situ imaging by the Underwater Vision Profiler 5

Plankton and detritus are essential components of the Earth's oceans influencing biogeochemical cycles and carbon sequestration. Climate change impacts their composition and fluxes, and marine ecosystems as a whole. To improve our understanding of these changes, standardized obse...

All Different All Equal: High Polymorphism in Nebela (Amoebozoa: Arcellinida) Revealed by Additional Sampling and Barcoding

Hyalospheniids are a conspicuous group of testate amoebae whose rich morphology has allowed their classification based on the characterization of their shells. However, recent studies showed the occurrence of convergences and phenotypic plasticity, which complicate their taxonomy...

From genetics to migration: emerging insights into salmonid responses to environmental change from NoWPaS 2026

The International Workshop of PhDs and Post-doctoral Fellows on Anadromous Salmonids (NoWPaS) provides a platform for early-career researchers to present and discuss emerging research on salmonid biology. The 2026 meeting, held in Iceland, brought together contributions spanning...

A View from the Italian Side: Transit Migrants from the Soviet Union in Italy during the 1970s and 1980s

Abstract During the 1970s and 1980s, thousands of migrants from the Soviet Union transited through Italian territory. Awaiting Western immigrant visas, people spent weeks or months in the maritime periphery of Rome. Based on Italian archival evidence, the article discusses how th...

Evidence-based atlas of risk and protective factors for psychotic disorders: an umbrella review to inform personalized prognosis and prevention.

Identifying updated, evidence-based risk and protective factors for psychotic disorders is essential to advancing scientific and clinical knowledge of their etiology. Since the most recent umbrella review published in this journal, the evidence base has expanded substantially. Fo...

Mind the Gap: Disparities in Education on Organ Donation and Transplantation-Results of a Global Survey.

Background: Widely accessible education on organ donation and transplantation (ODT) is a tool to reduce waiting lists, as <10% of transplant needs are met (Global Observatory on Donation and Transplantation). We aimed to assess the current state of access to education on ODT worl...

Consensus-based clinical and research recommendations for use of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists in the context of eating disorders: a modified Delphi study.

Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs), initially developed for type 2 diabetes management and later expanded to obesity treatment, have shown preliminary efficacy in reducing binge eating episodes. However, the appetite-suppressing and weight-loss effects of GLP-1R...

Acceptance of Organs From Deceased Donors: Results of a Global Survey.

Background: With <10% of transplantation needs being met, one contributing factor may be the potential subjectivity in transplant specialists' acceptance of organs. Such decisions, if influenced by knowledge and/or comfort gaps, warrant intervention. We assessed knowledge and com...

Unsupervised ecosystem risk assessment in the Baltic Sea reveals bottom-oxygen depletion and fishing pressure as key threats in species-abundant hotspots

Abstract Marine ecosystems are increasingly shaped by the combined effects of multiple environmental and anthropogenic stressors, generating non-linear, spatially heterogeneous patterns of risks to ecosystem functioning. The Baltic Sea represents a paradigmatic system where geogr...

A prospective split-scar randomized controlled trial of post-operative silicone tape improves scar appearance

Topical silicone dressings show promise in improving scar appearance in procedural scars; however, limited high-quality evidence exists. This randomized controlled trial (RCT) aimed to determine the efficacy of silicone tape (3 M Kind Removal Silicone Tape 2770) as a simple affor...

Diffusive transport of chloride into and out of soil-cement mixtures

This study investigates the diffusive transport behaviour of chloride in cement-based solidified/stabilised (s/s) soil mixtures, focusing on the differences between inward diffusion (into previously uncontaminated specimens) and outward diffusion (from pre-mixed specimens). Two s...
