Suicidal Behaviors
This Special Issue aims to deepen the understanding of suicidal behaviors (SBs), as well as their risk and protective factors, and to highlight innovative approaches to intervention, prevention, and postvention. The collected contributions illustrate the multifaceted nature of suicidality, addressing its psychological, social, and contextual dimensions across diverse populations and life stages. Empirical studies examine the impact of various forms of violence on SBs in Mexico, psychopathological networks in individuals with and without suicidal ideation, and the concurrent validity of digital tools for risk assessment. Research focusing on adolescents explores the interplay between regulation strategies, contextual stressors, addictions, and suicidality. Preventive strategies are also considered, including measures targeting high-risk locations, the influence of social bonds within military units, and suicide prevention efforts in older veterans. Additionally, systematic reviews synthesize evidence on grief interventions for suicide loss survivors, the role of social cognition in psychosis, and the mechanisms linking defeat, entrapment, and depression to suicidal ideation in youth. A sociological perspective further situates suicidality within the post-COVID-19 context in Spain. Together, these contributions provide a comprehensive and integrative outlook that enriches our understanding of SBs and informs tailored, evidence-based strategies to reduce their burden.

Not Science. Not Scientists.
When doctors, virologists, and health organizations make claims, we take them as scientific fact. But what if this is not the case? What if the medicine, as we know it today, is based on false principles?Not Science, Not Scientists exposes how modern medicine and virology have falsely claimed the mantle of science, adopting its language, symbols, and authority while lacking its rigorous foundation. Challenging the popular belief that medical and biological disciplines represent genuine science, analytical chemist/scientist Saeed Qureshi shows how they rely on assumptions, opinions, and statistical manipulation rather than the direct, measurable study of substances. The integrity of true science, he argues, relies on chemistry, physics, and mathematics-the disciplines that deal with matter, energy, and the laws that govern their behaviour. Using laboratory theatrics and complex jargon, medicine and virology have dressed themselves up, distorting terms like "isolation," "virus," and "evidence-based medicine" to justify unscientific practices.Drawing on real-world examples and his decades of experience in analytical chemistry, Dr. Qureshi show us how the misuse of science has misled the public, corrupted medical research, and corroded trust in what was once considered the most objective of disciplines. Ultimately, Not Science, Not Scientists is a call to restore intellectual honesty and scientific integrity to medicine by returning to chemistry-the true and original science-as its foundation. Only by grounding medical practice in genuine chemical understanding can it once again serve truth, reason, and humanity.

Children and Adolescents with Neurodevelopmental Disabilities
This Reprint presents an integrated overview of current research on ecological assessment tools and cognitive analysis in children and adolescents with neurodevelopmental disabilities. The collected works reflect a shift from isolated, component-based cognitive testing toward performance-oriented, context-sensitive approaches that emphasize real-world functioning and participation. Functional cognition is conceptualized as a dynamic interaction between cognitive abilities, task demands, environmental contexts, and strategy use. The contributions demonstrate that traditional decontextualized assessments provide limited insight into everyday functioning and potential for learning.Across the articles, a consistent movement toward top-down assessment models emerges, focusing on meaningful occupations, naturalistic task performance, and daily participation across diverse populations and cognitive domains. A central theme of the Reprint is the growing role of digital and immersive technologies, including virtual reality, mobile platforms, and ecological momentary assessment, in creating controlled yet authentic contexts for functional cognitive evaluation.Overall, this Reprint advances a person-centered, participation-focused perspective and offers a framework for developing ecologically valid, technology-enhanced assessment tools for children and adolescents with neurodevelopmental disabilities.
Natural Products Chemistry

Our goal is to provide clinicians and researchers with an accessible resource that informs daily practice while pointing to the future directions of the field.
Nursing Innovation and Quality Improvement
As the largest profession in healthcare, nurses are fundamental to high-quality care. There is hardly a patient treatment or intervention that has not been, at some point, delivered or supported by a nurse. The Nursing and Midwifery Council Strategy (2020-2025) and the Future of Nursing (2020-2030) highlight the importance of improvement and innovation, with nurses being advocated as innovators and leaders in healthcare and calling on healthcare systems to support nurses in these roles. There has never been a more crucial time to equip nurses with the skills and opportunities to embrace innovation and lead improvements that enhance productivity, improve wellbeing, and positively impact healthcare quality and patient safety. However, creating a culture for innovation and quality improvement (QI) in nursing is not easy; it takes time to develop and requires vision, strategy, support, and resources. Innovators need the space and opportunity to connect with others, brainstorm, discuss, and take risks. Greater engagement of front-line nurses in QI initiatives improves nurse-sensitive indicators; however, the number of nurses involved in QI is still worryingly low. Innovations and improvements led by nurses can make significant contributions to patient care, but the speed of these actions needs to improve if we are to address the global health challenges we face today.

Marine Natural Products as Anticancer Agents 3.0
Despite advances in cancer biology and therapeutic strategies in recent decades, cancer remains a huge threat to human health and one of the deadliest diseases worldwide. Therapy failure and consequent cancer relapse are the main factors contributing to high cancer mortality. Accordingly, it is crucial to discover and develop new therapeutic options, including innovative and targeted drugs. Marine natural products reveal unique and rare chemical features not found in terrestrial environments. Such unique scaffolds can inspire the molecular modeling and chemical synthesis of novel anticancer drugs. As these compounds were produced in coevolution with biological systems, they present greater efficiency and specificity for interacting with biological target sites (e.g., receptors, DNA, and proteins). These compounds also exhibit novel mechanisms of action, the ability to modulate distinct intracellular signaling pathways, and present fewer side effects. International regulatory authorities have already approved several marine molecules for treating distinct types of cancer.This Special Issue highlights the potential of marine natural products as anticancer agents, empathizing with the diversity of the molecular targets and the mechanistic effects.

Influence of Natural and/or Vaccine Immunity on the Dynamics of SARS-CoV-2
This Special Issue, "Influence of Natural and/or Vaccine Immunity on the Dynamics of SARS-CoV-2", published in Vaccines, examines how immunity acquired through natural infection, vaccination, or both shapes SARS-CoV-2 transmission, reinfection, variant spread, and pandemic dynamics. Hosted in the Epidemiology and Vaccination section, it provides a multidisciplinary forum to advance understanding of immune protection in an evolving pandemic. It emphasizes that SARS-CoV-2 immunity is dynamic rather than binary, influenced by factors such as prior exposure, vaccine type and dosing, immune waning, viral variants, hybrid immunity, and host characteristics. The emergence of immune-evasive variants, particularly within the Omicron lineage, highlights the need to clarify how different forms of immunity affect clinical outcomes and population-level patterns. Contributions address mechanisms of humoral and cellular immunity, comparisons between natural, vaccine-induced, and hybrid immunity, variant-specific immune escape, reinfection and vaccine effectiveness, host factors modifying immune responses, and modeling studies linking immunity to transmission and public health policy. Article types include original research, reviews, short communications, and editorials, all peer reviewed. The Special Issue underscores the importance of integrating immunological, clinical, and epidemiological evidence to inform vaccine strategies and public health decision making.

Synthetic Studies of Marine Bioactive Natural Products and Analogs to Develop Novel Drug Leads
Marine natural products are considered promising sources of drug candidates, especially in the field of anticancer drugs or antibiotics. However, the scarce supply of compounds from natural sources often limits further drug development, and consequently, efficient total synthesis of marine natural products and their derivatives can overcome this drawback. In addition, the synthesis of truncated analogs based on structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies would facilitate the discovery of more accessible drug lead compounds with improved bioactive specificity or ADMET profiles. This Special Issue gathers eight publications, including two reviews and six research articles, focusing on the synthetic study of bioactive marine natural products and their truncated analogs. We hope that many readers will find interest in the contents of this Special Issue, and that it will offer some perspectives for the future development of novel marine-natural-product-derived drug leads for intractable diseases.

Recent Advances in Hypertension, Hypercholesterolemia and Type 2 Diabetes
Type 2 diabetes, the most prevalent form of diabetes associated with obesity, remains one of the leading global causes of mortality and disability. Type 2 diabetes is usually clustered with other risk factors associated with metabolic syndrome, such as hypertension and hypercholesterolemia. The central pathophysiological condition connecting these diseases is insulin resistance associated with visceral obesity. Insulin resistance alters systemic lipid metabolism and leads to the development of a characteristic form of dyslipidemia, with high levels of plasma triglycerides, low levels of high-density lipoprotein, and predominance of small, dense low-density lipoprotein. Hypertension is one of the most prevalent chronic conditions worldwide, affecting more than one billion adults and representing a leading risk factor for cardiovascular disease. However, many individuals with hypertension remain undiagnosed, untreated, or inadequately controlled. Strict management of blood pressure, along with optimization of serum lipid levels, body weight, and lifestyle factors such as smoking cessation, is crucial for controlling the global burden of cardiovascular disease and reducing the risk of premature mortality. Although recent trends indicate a decline in all-cause and cardiovascular mortality, the risk remains high, particularly among patients with diabetes. In this context, this Special Issue brings together the latest research and advancements contributing to the understanding and management of hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, and type 2 diabetes.
