“…</p> <br> <p><strong>Results:</strong> Our analysis sample included participants with full information on NEET status (N = 3951), and the results supported the accumulation of risk model, showing that the odds of NEET increase by 1.015 (95% CI 1.012–1.019) for an increase of 1 unit in depression at any age between 11 and 24 years.</p> <br> <p><strong>Conclusions:</strong> Given the adverse implications of NEET status, our results emphasize the importance of supporting mental health during adolescence and early adulthood, as well as considering specific needs of young people with re-occurring depressed mood.…”

The association between the proportion of Brexiters and COVID-19 death rates in England by Phalippou, L, Wu, B

“…</p> <p><strong>Objective:</strong> Ecological study of whether there exists a significant conditional correlation between two variables that appear unrelated except for attitude towards experts: i) Proportion of people voting in favor of remaining in the European Union in 2016 and ii) COVID-19 outcomes four years later: death rates, vaccination rates.

The role of circulating tumor DNA in melanomas of the uveal tract by Zameer, MZ, Jou, E, Middleton, M

“…Accordingly, although current treatments have an excellent local disease control rate, approximately 50% of patients develop metastatic relapse within 10 years. The high risk for metastatic disease with a variable and often long latency period is thought to be due to early spread of cancer cells disseminating into organs such as the liver, followed by a period of dormancy, before the eventual emergence of radiologically measurable disease. …”
