Summary: Evidence suggests that children and adolescents with avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID) have heterogeneous clinical presentations. This study used latent class analysis (LCA) to identify three distinct classes in pediatric patients with ARFID: Acute Medical (AM), Lack of Appetite (LOA), and Sensory (S). The findings highlight the importance of recognizing these different presentations as clinical and treatment needs vary.

Summary: Extracellular Vesicles (EVs) are small vesicles used by cells to communicate with each other and can change the function and state of cells. EVs have been implicated in the development and progression of various diseases, and understanding their roles is crucial for treatment and early diagnosis.

Summary: The aim of this systematic review and network meta-analysis was to evaluate the effectiveness of treatments for pain relief of burning mouth syndrome (BMS). Among all tested treatments, only clonazepam is likely to reduce the pain of BMS when compared with placebo. The majority of the other treatments had low and very low certainty, mainly due to imprecision, indirectness, and intransitivity.

Summary: A significant body of evidence suggests that young people, especially those in the 16-24 age group, are currently facing significant mental health challenges. This article analyzes data from a major UK longitudinal household cohort study to examine the relationship between income and anxiety and depression among young adults. The findings indicate that higher income levels are associated with a reduced likelihood of depressive symptoms and that increases in household income during childhood and adolescence are linked to reduced symptoms of anxiety and depression. These findings provide valuable insights for understanding and addressing the underlying causes of youth mental health problems.

Summary: This study examined the association between anxiety disorders and comorbidity with major depressive disorder (MDD). The findings suggest that anxiety-anxiety comorbidity and anxiety-MDD have higher clinical severity and complexity compared to single anxiety or MDD alone, with distinct features. Further research is needed to investigate anxiety disorders and comorbidity.

Summary: This study tested the efficacy of a novel pregabalin oral solution in alleviating anxiety and fear in cats during transport and veterinary visits. The cats were given either the pregabalin solution or a placebo solution before being transported to a veterinary clinic. The results showed that the cats who received pregabalin had significantly decreased anxiety, and the treatment was well tolerated. This study demonstrates that a single oral dose of the novel pregabalin solution can help reduce anxiety and fear in cats during transportation and veterinary visits, improving their welfare.

Summary: This study uses network analysis to investigate the role and interactions among individual depression and anxiety symptoms in youth. The findings suggest that negative self-evaluation, negative views of the future, and repetitive negative thinking play important roles in the presentation and co-occurrence of depression and anxiety, making them promising targets for treatment and prevention.

Summary: The Netherlands Study of Depression and Anxiety (NESDA) is a long-term research project aiming to study the causes, development, and consequences of depression and anxiety disorders. Through face-to-face assessments repeated six times over 9 years, a total of 3348 participants including individuals with depressive and/or anxiety disorders, their siblings, and healthy controls were recruited. The data collected have been utilized for numerous scientific papers and are available to researchers outside the NESDA consortium.
