Summary: In this study, universal relations are validated and recalibrated using a large set of phenomenological EOSs, expanding to softer EOSs and larger compactnesses. Neglecting higher-than-leading-order tidal deformations of NSs can result in up to 3.5 radians of dephasing in waveform models from 20 Hz to merger. The new fits yield a NS radius smaller by about 500 meters compared to literature results, highlighting the importance of updated fits for future gravitational wave data analysis.

Summary: This study compared the experience of auditory verbal hallucinations (AVH) in nonclinical voice hearers (NCVH) and people with schizophrenia (PSZ). The results showed that the AVH in NCVH and PSZ shared similar sensory features, but NCVH experienced less distress and had greater control over their AVH. NCVH also showed a wider range of unusual beliefs and reported fewer symptoms compared to PSZ such as paranoia, alterations in self-experience, cognitive deficits, and negative symptoms.

Summary: The fundamental reason why psychiatry is unable to define clinically useful biomarkers lies in the lack of quantifying clinical data, resulting in the inability to operationalize decision models. Digital technologies may help improve this situation by quantifying data and evaluating decision models, ultimately enhancing patient care.

Summary: The study found that Psychotic Like Experiences (PLEs) in adolescents are associated with changes in cortical gyrification, indicating abnormal neurodevelopment. Adolescents with higher PLEs had lower cortical gyrification in the fronto-temporal regions in the left hemisphere, and higher cortical gyrification in the right parietal cortex during late adolescence. The study also revealed that adolescents with high PLEs were 5.6 times more likely to develop psychosis by age 23.

Summary: In this study, researchers identified a shared spatial pattern of cortical thickness (CT) in normative development and several psychiatric and neurological disorders. Further analysis revealed significant spatial correspondences between this pattern and widespread lower CT observed in psychiatric disorders, as well as the spatial pattern of normative maturation and aging. Transcriptional analysis also identified a set of genes closely related to this pattern, indicating disrupted neurodevelopment in the pathogenesis of psychiatric diseases emerging during adolescence.

Summary: This study aims to examine the dynamic associations between distal and proximal risk factors (personality traits, life stressors, and drinking motives) and their relationship with alcohol use in adolescence and early adulthood. The findings suggest that heavy and frequent alcohol use, along with social drinking motives, are key targets for preventing alcohol-related problems during late adolescence. However, there was no evidence found for personality traits and life stressors predisposing towards distinct drinking motives over time.

Summary: This study compared the effectiveness of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Second-Generation Antipsychotics (SGAs) as the first-line treatments for individuals at clinical high risk for psychosis (CHRp). The results showed that neither CBT nor SGAs had significant advantages over the placebo in preventing the transition to psychosis. Therefore, low-dose aripiprazole and CBT did not offer additional benefits over clinical management and placebo.

Summary: This study aimed to replicate previous findings of mentalizing impairment and altered neural responses in schizophrenia, and to investigate its association with domain-general cognitive impairment. The results showed no significant group differences in mentalizing network activation between schizophrenia patients and healthy controls. Verbal intelligence was found to be positively associated with activation of the medial prefrontal cortex, a key region of the mentalizing network. This suggests that verbal intelligence is an important confounding variable in group comparisons and should be considered in future studies on the neural correlates of mentalizing dysfunction in schizophrenia.

Summary: This study investigates the relationship between cognitive abilities, cortical thickness, and genetic variations related to neuronal plasticity in adolescent brains. The results suggest that these genetic variations play a role in the brain-behavior relationship and may contribute to inter-individual variations in cortical thickness related to cognitive abilities, especially in male adolescents. However, the findings were not replicated in female adolescents.

Summary: The PICTURE trial in Germany aims to test a brief psychological intervention for post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms following intensive care unit treatment. This study found that a short-term psychological intervention in a primary care setting is feasible and well-received, particularly when there is a long-term trustful relationship between patient and GP team, the intervention is conducted by a medical doctor, the GP team maintains a professional emotional distance, and the intervention is brief.
