AbstractNeurobiology-based interventions for mental diseases and searches for useful biomarkers of treatment response have largely failed. Clinical trials should assess interventions related to environmental and social stressors, with long-term follow-up; social rather than biological endpoints; personalized outcomes; and suitable cluster, adaptive, and n-of-1 designs. Labor, education, financial, and other social/political decisions should be evaluated for their impacts on mental disease.

The number of people with vision loss increases; a large part of them is nursing home resident. Although the number of elderly with visual impairments is growing, little special attention is paid to this group. This is however urgently needed. Caregivers need to understand the limitations of visual impairment and how to cope with them. This can lead to better coordinated care. This article presents a literature overview about what conditions are essential for the quality of care for older people with visual impairments caused by eye-diseases (not by brain disorders). The results show that these conditions concern the process of care, communication and emotional support, support when moving, in providing structure, specific training of caregivers, and lighting provision. Practical tips and advice are given that can be used in nursing homes.

: Here, we summarized recent advances in laboratory and clinical research on gut microbiome. The goal is to highlight recent discoveries on the biology and behavioral manifestations of gut microbiomes under normal and pathologic conditions. With this new scientific knowledge, we wish to cultivate cross-fertilization of science across multi-disciplines in the hopes of exploiting the gut microbiome as a key component of human development and its dysbiosis may signal pathological alterations that can be therapeutically targeted for regenerative medicine. In the end, we identify innovative research avenues that will merit from collaborations across biomedical disciplines that may facilitate the development of gut microbiome-based biomarkers and therapeutics. Gut microbiome stands as a core research area that transcends pediatric and nursing care, cancer biology, neurodegenerative disorders, cardiac function and diseases, among many other basic science and clinical arenas.
