3-Sep-2025 Lack of childhood friendships linked to suicidal thoughts in over-50s University of Helsinki Lack of childhood friendships linked to suicidal thoughts in over-50s.An international University of Helsinki study has found that adverse childhood circumstances increase the risk of suicidal ideation in later life. Published in the journal Frontiers in Psychiatry, the study used AI algorithms to explore the long-term effects of early-life adversities on later mental health. The machine learning algorithms employed in the study covered over 46,000 individuals aged 50 or above and living in Europe and Israel. Those with childhood experiences of difficult relationships, poor health or economic hardship were more likely to report suicidal ideation in later life. Journal Frontiers in Psychiatry
3-Sep-2025 Paper interpretation | Psychological effects of virtual reality intervention on breast cancer patients with different personalities: A randomized controlled trial AMiner Academic Jie Chen et al. from Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Hospital, of Sun Yat-sen University published a paper entitled "Psychological effects of virtual reality intervention on breast cancer patients with different personalities: A randomized controlled trial" in the International Journal of Nursing Sciences. A randomized controlled trial was conducted to systematically investigate the efficiency and safety of VR intervention with natural landscape content in alleviating negative emotions, aiming to provide new ideas and empirical evidence for psychological care of breast cancer patients.

3-Sep-2025 From leaves to lab: Comprehensive review maps how natural extracts are reshaping atopic dermatitis care Journal of Dermatologic Science and Cosmetic Technology Atopic dermatitis, a common chronic inflammatory skin disease, has an unclear etiology and may involve multiple factors such as genetic predisposition, immune abnormalities, and impaired skin barrier function. Currently, there is no specific medication available for the complete cure of atopic dermatitis. The current treatment approaches mainly focus on symptom relief and control rather than curative treatment. Some commonly used medications for atopic dermatitis, such as topical corticosteroids and immunosuppressants, may have certain adverse reactions and side effects. This review summarizes the research progress on natural extracts in the treatment of atopic dermatitis, aiming to provide a foundation for the development of safe and side-effect-free medications.

3-Sep-2025 How AI is opening the playbook on sports analytics University of Waterloo By tapping into Google Research Football’s reinforcement learning environment, two University of Waterloo researchers, Dr. David Radke and Kyle Tilbury, developed a system that can simulate and record unlimited soccer matches. To get things started, they generated and saved data from 3,000 simulated soccer games, resulting in a rich and complex dataset of passes, goals, and player movements for researchers to study.
