Mental health service coverage and gaps among adults in Europe: a systematic review Ensuring the right to the highest attainable standard of mental healthcare requires a clear understanding of the current state of service coverage and gaps across Europe. Given the wide heterogeneity ...

🔺According to the authors, the entire continent fails in #mentalhealth coverage

🔺Only in severe #mentaldisorders, such as psychosis, European countries achieve high levels of coverage

📰 See the original article published on @thelancet.com for details

Jordi Alonso is coordinator of the Health Services Research Group at the Hospital del Mar Research Institute and Professor of Public Health at Pompeu Fabra University.

🔺In #Spain only one in three people with any kind of disorder receives some treatment. And less than one out of seven receive it adequately.

🗣️ According to Jordi Alonso, the set of these data “puts at risk the @who.int’s goal of achieving a 50% increase in treatment coverage” by 2030.

⚠️ Europe Fails to Meet the Target for Service Coverage for People with Mental Disorders

This is the conclusion of an international study published in Lancet Regional Health with the participation of Jordi Alonso, @researchmar.bsky.social & Professor of Public Health at @upf.edu

🗣️"Creo firmemente en el poder transformador de la comunicación científica y en la necesidad de fortalecer a quienes la hacen posible. En un contexto global marcado por la polarización y la proliferación de la desinformación, la buena comunicación científica es más crucial que nunca", dice Revuelta

Blood transcriptomic analysis reveals a distinct molecular subtype of treatment resistant depression compared to non-treatment resistant depression Treatment-resistant depression (TRD) is a severe condition characterized by chronic and recurrent depressive symptoms, leading to significant morbidit…

🗣️ According to @jupererabel.bsky.social (@researchmar.bsky.social @upf.edu), who has led the study, "these results open the door to a new molecular understanding of depression and give us the opportunity to rethink how we classify and treat patients".

#Research
Treatment-resistant depression identified as a distinct molecular subtype, scientists say

💊 The study shows that patients with treatment-resistant depression have a unique biology, different from those who respond to standard therapies.

Energy deficiency selects crowded live epithelial cells for extrusion - Nature Crowded epithelial cells with the least energy and membrane potential are selected for extrusion.

Check the original article published in @nature.com
www.nature.com/articles/s41...

🗣️ “Seeing that extrusion is triggered in cells with low energy levels leads us to wonder whether excessive caloric intake could be cancelling out this “low energy” sensor and hindering the elimination of defective cells”, Pardo-Pastor reflects.

🗣️“It is particularly satisfying to see that the basic mechanisms that we learn in the first year at university –and I now explain in my classes– continue to serve for making new discoveries”, mentions Carlos Pardo-Pastor, postdoc at the @upf.edu Molecular Physiology Laboratory
www.upf.edu/en/web/lmp

🗣️ “Crowding causes the sodium channels of the epithelium to open, which leads to the entry of salts and the depolarization of the cells”, explains Jody Rosenblatt (@crick.ac.uk & King’s College London), who led the research.

#Research
Epithelial cells use electricity to detect and eliminate energy-deficient neighbouring cells ⚡🧫

🪫 The mechanical forces of energy-deficient cells activate an electrical sodium current that depolarises the membrane and triggers cell extrusion.
