This transdiagnostic study investigates how autistic traits manifest across patients with mood and psychotic spectrum disorders in an outpatient setting. The research uses empirical methods to map trait profiles, potentially improving diagnostic precision and treatment approaches for individuals with overlapping presentations.
This scoping review examines theatre-based interventions as a therapeutic approach for individuals with autism spectrum disorder across different age groups. The review synthesizes evidence on how theatrical techniques may support social communication, emotional expression, and other developmental outcomes in autistic populations.
This study adapted the Ritvo Autism Asperger Diagnostic Scale-Revised (RAADS-R) into Brazilian Portuguese following international guidelines, with validation in 142 autistic adults. The adapted scale demonstrated adequate semantic equivalence and a 14-item screening model showed acceptable fit indices, though psychometric refinements may be needed for clinical use.

This surveillance system aims to better estimate the public health burden of concussion and TBI across all causes of brain injury in the United States.
This study investigates circulating proteins and microRNAs in cerebrospinal fluid and serum as potential biomarkers to differentiate MS disease subtypes and guide treatment decisions. Analysis of two cohorts identified 13 cerebrospinal fluid proteins and 10 serum proteins that differed between MS patients and controls, with 16 serum microRNAs distinguishing between relapsing-remitting and secondary progressive MS.
