Patients in the early stages of psychosis respond to treatments differently than those who have developed a chronic version of the disorder. Understanding the neurobiological changes from early to chronic stages is essential for developing targeted prevention and treatment strategies. But how symptoms change during this transition—and what role the brain plays—is unclear.

T cells are positioned at the frontline of the body's immune system to fight infection, cancer, and autoimmune disease. While different subtypes of T cells exist, how these cells take their different forms has remained elusive. Now, a multi-institutional team of researchers led by Yale School of Medicine (YSM) has added clarity to the complex, dynamic molecular interactions that occur in the human immune system.

Older adults often need to manage multiple medications to treat different conditions, but the pharmacological mix can have negative interactions that cause unintentional harm. For this reason, many clinicians who care for older patients engage in the process of deprescribing—identifying and discontinuing medications that cause more harm than benefit.

Athletes who undergo ablation to treat their irregular heartbeat caused by atrial fibrillation (AF) experience greater improvement in sports performance compared to those who use antiarrhythmic medications, new research shows. The study, led by Rachel Lampert, MD, Robert W Berliner Professor of Medicine in the Section of Cardiovascular Medicine at Yale School of Medicine, evaluated data from 1,055 participants (78% male, median age 61–71) who responded to an online survey.

Poststroke seizures are associated with increased mortality risk and worse cognitive outcomes. Approximately 8 to 10% of people who’ve had a stroke experience unprovoked late seizures, defined as seizures seven days after the stroke. The cerebrovascular disorder, however, accounts for approximately 50% of seizures in those over age 65.

This is an authorized translation of an Eos article. Dies ist eine autorisierte Übersetzung eines Eos artikels. Hoch oben in der Atmosphäre bilden sich entlang der Mesopause, wo die Mesosphäre in die Thermosphäre übergeht, aus Eiskristallen leuchtende Nachtwolken (englisch: noctilucent clouds). Am sommerlichen Polarhimmel sind sie ein vertrauter Anblick, in niedrigeren Breiten tritt dieses Phänomen dagegen seltener in Erscheinung.

Every year, life-threating invasive fungal infections afflict more than 2 million individuals globally. Mortality rates for these infections are high, even when patients receive treatment. Aspergillus fumigatus, the most frequent cause of invasive fungal infection in people with suppressed immune systems, is responsible for approximately 100,000 deaths annually around the world. Poor treatment outcomes result from therapeutic failures and the fungi’s resistance to existing drugs.
