The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs today announced a new clinical trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of methylenedioxymethamphetamine-assisted therapy, or MDMA-assisted therapy, for the treatment of severe mental health disorders, including posttraumatic stress disorder and alcohol use disorder.

“We need an all-of-the-above strategy when it comes to improving mental health treatments, and under President Trump, that’s exactly what VA is working to deliver,” said VA Secretary Doug Collins. “This trial represents an important step in safely evaluating new approaches and innovations to treat Veterans with severe mental health conditions.”

A single tooth from the Popol Vuh Museum is attracting the attention of researchers studying ancient Maya remains.....

The specimen is a lower molar featuring a small green stone set into the centre of its occlusal (chewing) surface. The material has been identified as jadeite. While stone inlays are well attested in Maya contexts, they are almost exclusively found in anterior (front) teeth; placement within a molar appears to be previously undocumented.

The tooth comes from a collection of archaeological material gathered in Guatemala during the 20th century. It is not tied to a specific excavation, but its characteristics match known examples of Maya dental work. The crown shows a shaped cavity where the stone sits, held in place by a bonding substance.

Imaging was carried out using cone beam computed tomography. The scans show changes inside the tooth that occur in living tissue. The pulp chamber displays heavy calcification, a response that develops over time. This indicates the procedure took place while the individual was alive.

The internal structure is intact, with visible pulp horns and root canals. These features point to a young adult. There is no sign of advanced wear that would suggest old age.

The position of the inlay is notable. Molar teeth are not visible during speech or display. Known Maya dental modifications usually focus on visible areas and are linked to appearance or identity. This example does not fit that pattern.

One explanation is that the stone was placed for practical reasons. Tooth decay and infection were common in ancient populations, especially where diets relied heavily on maize. In other regions, there is evidence of drilling or filling teeth to manage pain or damage.

Cases from Europe and Asia show early attempts to treat dental problems, including the use of plant fibres, bitumen or wax. In the Americas, similar work has been recorded, though examples are few. Most involve drilling rather than filling.

The Maya had the technical skill to work teeth with precision. Decorative inlays show controlled shaping and placement without damaging the inner structure. This molar suggests that such skill may also have been applied in other contexts.

There is no direct proof that the stone addressed a cavity or injury. The tooth does not preserve clear evidence of decay at the site of the inlay. Other motives cannot be excluded, though the location makes a display function unlikely.

The find adds a rare example to the record of dental intervention in ancient Mesoamerica. It shows that work on teeth was not only limited to visible modification and aesthetic purpose.

An autological word is a word that expresses the very property it defines.

For example, ‘word’ is a...word.

-unhyphenated (is unhyphenated)

Your health matters. Your service matters. 

Did your military service include inhaling exhaust, disposing of chemical waste, or firing ammunition? VA's exposure-informed care ensures those experiences are never overlooked.

Hi quick PSA- pls stop saying the “credibility of all women” is in jeopardy cause **insert** the story of one woman who may or may not have done whatever headline is out there. If you’re dense enough to equivocate the actions of one to all, you’re probably a sexist who was looking to dismiss a woman’s career trajectory anyway. This is not new and we’ve ALL had ppl at some point in our career reduce us to a DEI hire, a hot girl hire, or a sleeping around hire. OLD TRICKS! Don’t fall for it.
