A major study this week in the British Medical Journal (BMJ) found the mental fallout from the pandemic was 'small'. But for a lot of more vulnerable minority groups, the pandemic was anything but ‘minimal’.
Stephen Buckley, head of information at the charity Mind, said mental health providers would also say differently to the team’s conclusion.
‘Data from the also shows that average ratings for all measures of well-being still remain below pre-coronavirus pandemic levels,’ he added. But doing so over the pandemic is even trickier. Someone’s situation – such as whether they worked from home or on the frontline – can make a big difference. It didn’t survey people in low-income countries or focus on many vulnerable groups more likely to be affected, such as disabled people or children.
The pandemic also took a disproportionate toll on people of colour, Jeremy Bernhaut, head of policy and influencing at Rethink Mental Illness, added.

Applications and prospects of cryo-EM in drug discovery - Military Medical ResearchDrug discovery is a crucial part of human healthcare and has dramatically benefited human lifespan and life quality in recent centuries, however, it is usually time- and effort-consuming. Structural biology has been demonstrated as a powerful tool to accelerate drug development. Among different techniques, cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) is emerging as the mainstream of structure determination of biomacromolecules in the past decade and has received increasing attention from the pharmaceutical industry. Although cryo-EM still has limitations in resolution, speed and throughput, a growing number of innovative drugs are being developed with the help of cryo-EM. Here, we aim to provide an overview of how cryo-EM techniques are applied to facilitate drug discovery. The development and typical workflow of cryo-EM technique will be briefly introduced, followed by its specific applications in structure-based drug design, fragment-based drug discovery, proteolysis targeting chimeras, antibody drug development and drug repurposing. Besides cryo-EM, drug discovery innovation usually involves other state-of-the-art techniques such as artificial intelligence (AI), which is increasingly active in diverse areas. The combination of cryo-EM and AI provides an opportunity to minimize limitations of cryo-EM such as automation, throughput and interpretation of medium-resolution maps, and tends to be the new direction of future development of cryo-EM. The rapid development of cryo-EM will make it as an indispensable part of modern drug discovery.
