A new study from the University of Washington examines how genetic changes may influence the severity of schizophrenia symptoms. Published in the American Journal of Psychiatry, the study found that deletions in genes involved in early brain and neuron development are associated with more severe features of schizophrenia spectrum disorders, particularly lower cognitive abilities.

The findings provide further insight into how genetic changes may contribute to differences in symptoms and cognitive outcomes among people with schizophrenia spectrum disorders. https://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/discussion/researchers-chart-a-genetic-path-to-diagnosing-pulmonary-fibrosis-and-predicting-outcomes/

New findings from the ACTIV-6 randomized clinical trial provide important confirmation of prior clinical trial results that metformin, a widely available and inexpensive medication with an established safety record, reduced the risk of clinician-diagnosed long COVID when started during acute COVID-19 infection.

The study, published in Clinical Infectious Diseases and co-led by a University of Minnesota Medical School research team, evaluated nearly 3,000 outpatient adults with mild-to-moderate COVID-19 across 90 sites in the United States. Participants were randomized to receive either metformin or placebo within seven days of symptom onset and were followed for six months. https://med.umn.edu/pediatrics/news/new-study-shows-metformin-given-during-acute-covid-19-infection-reduced-risk-clinician-diagnosed-long-covid-50

Researchers have validated a genetic scoring tool that may help physicians diagnose idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and identify which patients are at greatest risk for severe outcomes, including death or the need for a lung transplant. The findings come from a new international study of more than 570,000 people co-led by Mayo Clinic and Brigham and Women's Hospital.

Published in the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, the study is one of the largest real-world evaluations of a polygenic risk score for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. The findings bring this genomic approach one step closer to clinical care. https://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/discussion/researchers-chart-a-genetic-path-to-diagnosing-pulmonary-fibrosis-and-predicting-outcomes/

When it comes to healthy habits, most people think about what they eat. However, new research suggests that what time you eat - especially in relation to overnight sleep - also may play an important role in heart health.

A study led by Daniela Grimaldi, M.D., Ph.D., Research Associate Professor, Department of Neurology, Center for Circadian and Sleep Medicine, and Phyllis C. Zee, M.D., Ph.D., Director, Center for Circadian and Sleep Medicine, Chief of Sleep Medicine, Department of Neurology, and Benjamin and Virginia T. Boshes Professor of Neurology at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, explores a simple idea: aligning an overnight fast with the body’s natural sleep cycle. The team’s findings - published in Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology - suggest that aligning fasting with sleep may help create conditions that support heart health overnight and during the day. https://ncats.nih.gov/news/news-events/sleep-aligned-fasting-may-support-overnight-heart-health
