Adherence to the MIND diet can improve memory and thinking skills of older adults, even in the presence of Alzheimer's disease pathology, new data from the Rush Memory and Aging Project (MAP) show.

A new study published in Obesity Reviews suggests that the food environment in high income countries, including the UK, hampers people's efforts to lose weight and sustain it, by making it difficult for them to purchase and consume healthier food options. Furthermore, the Government has not taken adequate measures to remodel the food environment. The "food environment" represents settings where people can routinely purchase and consume food outside of the home, along with constant exposure to food advertisements and promotions.

Having a mobile interventional stroke team (MIST) travel to treat stroke patients soon after stroke onset may improve patient outcomes, according to a new study. A retrospective analysis of a pilot program in New York City found that patients who were treated on the ground by the MIST team rather than transferred to a specialized stroke center received faster care and were almost twice as likely to be functionally independent 3 months later.

Attachment disorders have been described in the psychological and psychiatric literature for approximately 50 years.

Oppositional and defiant behaviors may be the result of disruptions in attachment.

The results were published in the British Journal of Dermatology.
