Depression doesn’t come from one gene, one life event, or one personality trait. That’s what makes it so hard to predict, prevent or treat effectively. But new research suggests the power of a tool that uses a range of genetic information to predict a person’s chance of developing depression when they’re under intense stress. The findings might help lead to a better understanding of the pathways that lead to depression.
Nearly 98% percent of people prescribed direct-acting oral anticoagulants such as apixaban used over-the-counter products. Of those, 33% took at least one such product that, in combination with the anticoagulants, could cause dangerous internal bleeding.
A large analysis of personality studies has found that people with obesity behave somewhat like people with addictions to alcohol or drugs. But obesity is also a complex condition that cannot be fully explained by the addiction model.
With the increasing rate of multi-drug resistance, it is fundamental to identify new antibiotics. In this study, researchers found the synthesis of the vitamin biotin is integral for the growth of drug-resistant bacteria in human plasma. They were able to treat drug-resistant infections by inhibiting biotin synthesis in an infection mimicking human conditions. By inhibiting biotin synthesis, they have the potential to produce a novel class of antibiotics.

Meanwhile, people without Down syndrome are rarely diagnosed with dementia before age 65.
