Adolescents, Depression, and Self-Harm: Girls and Boys, Risk, and ResilienceUCSF Dept. of Psychiatry
Keynote presentation by Stephen Hinshaw, PhD, at the UCSF Depression Center's "Adolescent Depression: What We All Should Know" event on November 16, 2015.
"One in four women will be sexually assaulted during her college career. Sexual assault and rape effect victims and survivors in a number of detrimental ways. The victims’ and survivors’ academic and social lives are often torn apart, creating a disparity between their lives and the lives of others on campus. Title IX, part of the Education Amendments of 1972, protects women against sex-based discrimination and harassment in academia. Rape and sexual assault are considered extreme forms of harassment under Title IX. The law mandates that schools, including colleges and universities, follow guidelines set by the Office of Civil Rights to prevent and remedy inequities caused by sexual assault.
I posit that Occidental College violates Title IX by acting with deliberate indifference in regards to sexual assault and rape. To determine whether my hypothesis is correct, I measured students’ attitudes of sexual assault on campus using a campus-wide blog. I paired the qualitative analysis of the blog with quantitative analysis using a survey of survivors and victims at Occidental. After the analyses, I concluded that Occidental administration violates Title IX through deliberate indifference and because of incomplete compliance with the Dear Colleague Letter by the Office of Civil Rights."
Ways in which suicide can be prevented among teenagers. Important signs to look for and other behaviors that may accompany suicidal thoughts for teens. Causes of teen suicide are addressed.

CRISPR-Cas9, a revolutionary gene-editing tool, holds immense potential to reshape medicine, agriculture, and our understanding of life. But like any powerful tool, it comes with ethical considerations.
Unveiling CRISPR: This naturally occurring bacterial defense system (crRNA & Cas9 protein) fights viruses. Scientists repurposed it for precise gene editing (correction, deletion, insertion) by targeting specific DNA sequences.
The Promise: CRISPR offers exciting possibilities:
Gene Therapy: Correcting genetic diseases like cystic fibrosis.
Agriculture: Engineering crops resistant to pests and harsh environments.
Research: Studying gene function to unlock new knowledge.
The Peril: Ethical concerns demand attention:
Off-target Effects: Unintended DNA edits can have unforeseen consequences.
Eugenics: Misusing CRISPR for designer babies raises social and ethical questions.
Equity: High costs could limit access to this potentially life-saving technology.
The Path Forward: Responsible development is crucial:
International Collaboration: Clear guidelines are needed for research and human trials.
Public Education: Open discussions ensure informed decisions about CRISPR.
Prioritize Safety and Ethics: Safety and ethical principles must be paramount.
CRISPR offers a powerful tool for a better future, but responsible development and addressing ethical concerns are essential. By prioritizing safety, fostering open dialogue, and ensuring equitable access, we can harness CRISPR's power for the benefit of all. (2998 characters)

India Clinical Trials Market: Industry Size and Growth Trends [2030] Analyzed...Kumar Satyam
According to TechSci Research report, "India Clinical Trials Market- By Region, Competition, Forecast & Opportunities, 2030F," the India Clinical Trials Market was valued at USD 2.05 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.64% through 2030. The market is driven by a variety of factors, making India an attractive destination for pharmaceutical companies and researchers. India's vast and diverse patient population, cost-effective operational environment, and a large pool of skilled medical professionals contribute significantly to the market's growth. Additionally, increasing government support in streamlining regulations and the growing prevalence of lifestyle diseases further propel the clinical trials market.
Growing Prevalence of Lifestyle Diseases
The rising incidence of lifestyle diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and cancer is a major trend driving the clinical trials market in India. These conditions necessitate the development and testing of new treatment methods, creating a robust demand for clinical trials. The increasing burden of these diseases highlights the need for innovative therapies and underscores the importance of India as a key player in global clinical research.

Medical Technology Tackles New Health Care Demand - Research Report - March 2...pchutichetpong
M Capital Group (“MCG”) predicts that with, against, despite, and even without the global pandemic, the medical technology (MedTech) industry shows signs of continuous healthy growth, driven by smaller, faster, and cheaper devices, growing demand for home-based applications, technological innovation, strategic acquisitions, investments, and SPAC listings. MCG predicts that this should reflects itself in annual growth of over 6%, well beyond 2028.
According to Chris Mouchabhani, Managing Partner at M Capital Group, “Despite all economic scenarios that one may consider, beyond overall economic shocks, medical technology should remain one of the most promising and robust sectors over the short to medium term and well beyond 2028.”
There is a movement towards home-based care for the elderly, next generation scanning and MRI devices, wearable technology, artificial intelligence incorporation, and online connectivity. Experts also see a focus on predictive, preventive, personalized, participatory, and precision medicine, with rising levels of integration of home care and technological innovation.
The average cost of treatment has been rising across the board, creating additional financial burdens to governments, healthcare providers and insurance companies. According to MCG, cost-per-inpatient-stay in the United States alone rose on average annually by over 13% between 2014 to 2021, leading MedTech to focus research efforts on optimized medical equipment at lower price points, whilst emphasizing portability and ease of use. Namely, 46% of the 1,008 medical technology companies in the 2021 MedTech Innovator (“MTI”) database are focusing on prevention, wellness, detection, or diagnosis, signaling a clear push for preventive care to also tackle costs.
In addition, there has also been a lasting impact on consumer and medical demand for home care, supported by the pandemic. Lockdowns, closure of care facilities, and healthcare systems subjected to capacity pressure, accelerated demand away from traditional inpatient care. Now, outpatient care solutions are driving industry production, with nearly 70% of recent diagnostics start-up companies producing products in areas such as ambulatory clinics, at-home care, and self-administered diagnostics.
8. Pornofication
• Pornography in it self doesnt seem to increase risk
for sexual violence,
• with the exception of men with misogynic attitudes
and severe personality disorders (Nøttestad, Hald &
Øverland, 2010)
• Girls report feeling physically inferior to the women
they view in pornographic material, while boys fear
they may not be as virile or able to perform as the
male characters (Owens et. al 2012)
• For both gender, pornography use is associated with
higher incidence of depressive symptoms and
decreased emotional bonding with caregivers
9. Harming others – harming himself
• Aggression can be directed both inwards and
outwards
From grafitti to vandalism and arson
From risky driving to deliberate self harm
From rape and partner violence to murder
• Or both
murder-suicide
10. Partner violence
Only partner type
Low frequency
At home
Stress related
•Borderlinepreget type
Moderate/serious violence
Seldom outside home
History of relational problem
unsecure attachment/jealous
Unhappy/impulsive
• Antisocial type
Moderate to serious violence
Antisocial, angry, drug problems and general
psychopathology
Low level og empathy and regret

19. Definition of self-harm
• A class of actions with the common features of
self inflicted intense bodily or psychological pain
with the intent of changing a negative emotion,
cognition or difficult relationship
(Øverland 2008)
20. Gender perceptions
• But why isnt hitting the wall as hard as you can,
regarded as deliberate self harm?
It hurts
It is deliberate
But it is social acceptable
21. Gender differences in
deliberate self-harm
% DSH Suicide attempt
Girls Boys Girls Boys
Depression 59 40 26 17
Poor self esteem 64 52 28 24
Negative body image 53 42 21 25
Without problems 14 8 3 3
N= 4066
22. Gender differences in risk for
Deliberate Self-harm
(McMahon et. al. 2010)
• Drug use and having a friend with deliberate self-
harm enhance risk for self-harm in both sexes
• Poor self esteem, trauma, self-harm in family, and
problems with friends and family enhances risk for
self-harm in girls
• Being bullied, problems at school, impulsivity and
anger, enhances self-harm in boys
23. Positive and negative masculinity and
femininity (Straiton, Roen & Hjelmedal, 2012)
• Negative femininity positively predicted self-harm
and recent suicidal ideation status
• Positive masculinity was negatively related to suicidal
ideation and self-harming while negative masculinity
was negatively related to self-harming
• The findings suggest that it is not the conventional
feminine gender role per se that is associated with
suicidality, but specific negatively evaluated aspects.
24. Homosexuality og trans-sexuality
• Increased risk of DSH in homosexual boys
(Skegg m.fl 2003)
• Increased risk of DSH in trans-sexual boys
(Anderssen m.fl 2013)
• Classroom intervention reduces risk for health
problems in general for adolescents
(Rosa kompetanse/Pink competence)
25. Warning signals
Haavisto et.al. 2005:
Less than 16 percent of boys with severe DSH had
received any form of mental health services a year
before
DSH was associated with anxiety and aggression
Self reported symptoms of depression was predictive
of DSH in adolescence
28. • More than 50 % of the youth in Norway uses the
”youth health station” – a free drop-in service
• But far less boys than girls
• And even less boys from low socio-economic status
(Jensen/SSB, 2009)
• Organizing special weekdays as ”boys days”, specific
topics increase use of service
• Anonymity seems more important for boys
• Boys prefer meeting same gender nurse and doctor
It doesnt have to be complicated
29. How to approach the boys?
• Start by finding an ”open arena”
• Target his and your own nonverbal and paraverbal
communication
• Normalize having problems
• and stress the importance of acknowledging
problems as strength of character
30. And as always…
• More research is needed
• And the willingness to have an interest in the health
and well being of boys, even though they dont ”cry
for help” to often and dont always cooperate to well
