Summary: The emergence of new molecular targets and the development of new approaches to neuropsychiatric diseases, including psychedelics and gene and cell therapies, have highlighted the need to improve the efficiency of mechanistic and/or efficacy clinical trials. This review article discusses the challenges in detecting therapeutic signals, such as high placebo response rates and imprecision in assessments. It also presents methodological approaches that may enhance the overall performance of neuropsychiatric trials, including novel study designs and improved subject enrollment confirmation.

Summary: This study examines travelers' actual behavior towards online travel purchase by extending the UTAUT2 model with perceived privacy and perceived security. Findings show that facilitating conditions, habit, and purchase intention are significant predictors of travelers' behavior, and perceived privacy does not impact purchase intention.

Summary: In response to the COVID crisis, labor market policies in the United States and Europe exhibited starkly different approaches. The US focused on ensuring worker income through increased unemployment insurance benefits, while Europe emphasized preserving the worker-firm relationship through subsidies for reduced working hours and temporary layoffs.

Summary: Neurotechnologies pose a threat to people's privacy and mental integrity, leading to proposals for establishing neurorights and technical principles. Concepts such as the extended mind and post-human objection challenge this protection paradigm, raising issues related to cognitive boundaries between humans and machines, as well as ethical and legal implications. Issues may also arise regarding the protection of individuals entering relationships with posthumanist individuals who heavily use neurotechnologies.

Summary: We study the optimal taxation of capital income and wealth in an economy that emphasizes the significance of private businesses in terms of output and inequality. Our findings indicate that taxing capital income is more preferable than taxing wealth due to the redistributive benefits derived from taxing the profits of wealthier entrepreneurs, which outweigh the efficiency gains from wealth taxation. This conclusion withstands variations in the planner's preference for redistribution and the consideration of nonlinear taxes.

Summary: Infection and inflammation play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of brain injury and cerebral palsy, with the NLRP3 inflammasome-IL-1 beta pathway offering a potential therapeutic target. IL-1 blockade has transformed the course and outcome of certain diseases, and inflammasome activation has been implicated as a novel therapeutic target in neonatal inflammatory diseases of the brain and lungs.

Summary: The study reviewed 12 articles that met the inclusion criteria, finding that antibiotic stewardship programs can be effective for premature infants, especially when multifactorial and tailored to this population, focusing on reducing initiation or shortening the duration of antibiotic therapy. Programs without specific measures were less effective.

Summary: Optimizing initial oxygenation and achieving optimal oxygen saturation within the first 5-10 minutes of life are crucial for very preterm and immature newborns. The combination of strict control of SpO2 development and maintaining a heart rate >100 bpm in the delivery room represents the best tool for optimal outcomes. Adjusting FiO2 based on gestational age and targeting specific SpO2 levels early in life can lead to better results in newborn care.

Summary: Evidence-based medicine has revolutionized clinical practice by incorporating data from RCTs, but there are still some lesser-known biases that may affect the reliability of the data. Selection bias can occur during the consent stage, and industry-funded studies tend to report positive outcomes more frequently. Mis-reporting and changes in outcome measures also contribute to the decreased reliability of outcome data. Despite the GRADE system, subjectivity remains a concern. In conclusion, transitioning to evidence-based medicine requires awareness of these pitfalls and cautious interpretation of the presented data by authors, editors, reviewers, and readers.

Summary: Emergency research studies, especially those involving newborn infants, often face difficulties in obtaining informed consent due to the severity of the patients' conditions. The waiver or deferred consent process is needed to include sick patients who are unable to provide prospective consent. However, this process can lead to conflicting stakeholder views and pose challenges to research. This manuscript discusses the necessity of consent waiver or deferred consent processes for neonatal emergency research and provides a framework to balance the patients' best interests with ethical knowledge acquisition.

Summary: To achieve the Sustainable Development Goal 3.2, countries need to provide wide-scale access to maternity and newborn care, including skilled nurses and doctors, safe oxygen use, and respiratory support. Additionally, more investment in infrastructure, device bundles, and infection prevention is required. To reach phase V (<5 neonatal mortality rate), new technologies and therapies, as well as higher staffing ratios, are needed.

Summary: The sixth version of European Guidelines for the Management of RDS has been developed by a panel of experienced European neonatologists and an expert perinatal obstetrician based on available literature up to end of 2022. These updated guidelines aim to optimize outcomes for babies with RDS through various measures such as prediction of risk of preterm delivery, appropriate maternal transfer to a perinatal center, and evidence-based lung-protective management. The guidelines also address the importance of general care for infants with RDS, including cardiovascular support and judicious use of antibiotics. The guidelines have received endorsement from the European Society for Paediatric Research (ESPR) and the Union of European Neonatal and Perinatal Societies (UENPS). Rating: 7 out of 10.

Summary: Approximately 800,000 newborns die annually due to birth asphyxia. Resuscitation of asphyxiated term newborns requires experience and knowledge, with differences compared to preterm infants. Studies following the 2015 update of guidelines aim to improve outcomes for asphyxiated infants.
