A large-scale cohort study emulating randomized trials indicates that benzodiazepine use during pregnancy significantly increases the risk of abortion and preterm birth, even after accounting for competing risks and maternal factors. Risks

The VALAD randomized clinical trial found that valacyclovir did not improve outcomes in patients with early symptomatic Alzheimer’s and HSV seropositivity. Instead, patients receiving the antiviral showed significantly greater cognitive dec

This review synthesizes evidence from a 2025 randomized clinical trial evaluating a tailored weight loss program, CoachToFit, for veterans with serious mental illness, highlighting its potential to improve weight outcomes via remote support

A large-scale multicenter study identifies unique multivariate patterns of peripheral inflammation and brain structure that differentiate early-stage depression and psychosis, highlighting the influence of childhood trauma and cognitive per

A large-scale US cohort study of over 4.2 million pregnancies found no significant association between first-trimester Z-drug exposure—primarily zolpidem—and major congenital malformations, providing clinical reassurance for managing severe

A comprehensive meta-analysis involving over 10,000 patients reveals that processing speed impairment is a profound and central deficit in schizophrenia, showing an effect size of -1.52 and playing a critical role in overall cognitive dysfu

A 4-year randomized controlled trial found that computer-generated feedback letters failed to reduce alcohol consumption in the general population. Unexpectedly, the control group showed greater reduction at 48 months, suggesting that curre

This randomized clinical trial compares 100-mg versus 300-mg maintenance doses of extended-release buprenorphine. While overall efficacy was similar, the 300-mg dose significantly improved abstinence rates among heavy fentanyl users, offeri

Researchers developed a clinical prediction model using electronic health records from over 127,000 patients to identify individuals at risk of psychotic or bipolar disorders. The model demonstrated high discriminative power (C-index 0.80)

A landmark network meta-analysis demonstrates that slow antidepressant tapering (>4 weeks) combined with psychological support is as effective as drug continuation in preventing relapse, providing a safe, evidence-based pathway for patie
