Advances in the ecological validity of research on social cognition in schizophrenia: A systematic review of the literature.

Introduction: Ecologically valid assessments need to require tasks representative of real, everyday interactions between people in a social environment (i.e., verisimilitude) and to predict aspects of real-life performance in those same interactions (i.

Assessing Patient Satisfaction With Metacognitive Training (MCT) for Psychosis: A Systematic Review of Randomized Clinical Trials.

Objectives: Metacognitive training (MCT) for psychosis is a group intervention that combines cognitive-behavioural therapy and psychoeducation. It has proven efficacy in reducing psychotic symptoms and correcting cognitive biases implicated in the development and maintenance of psychotic symptoms. However, other outcomes, such as patient satisfaction with the intervention, have not been well studied despite their importance for adherence and overall success.

Oxidative stress promotes cytotoxicity in human cancer cell lines exposed to Escallonia spp. extracts.

Background: Standard cancer treatments show a lack of selectivity that has led to the search for new strategies against cancer. The selective elimination of cancer cells modulating the redox environment, known as "selective oxycution", has emerged as a viable alternative. This research focuses on characterizing the unexplored Escallonia genus plant extracts and evaluating their potential effects on cancer's redox balance, cytotoxicity, and activation of death pathways.

Mechanical properties, in vitro and in vivo biocompatibility analysis of pure iron porous implant produced by metal injection molding: A new eco-friendly feedstock from natural rubber (Hevea brasiliensis).

Metal injection molding (MIM) has become an important manufacturing technology for biodegradable medical devices. As a biodegradable metal, pure iron is a promising biomaterial due to its mechanical properties and biocompatibility. In light of this, we performed the first study that manufactured and evaluated the in vitro and in vivo biocompatibility of samples of iron porous implants produced by MIM with a new eco-friendly feedstock from natural rubber (Hevea brasiliensis), a promisor binder that provides elastic property in the green parts.

Bile duct ligature in young rats: A revisited animal model for biliary atresia.

Biliary atresia leads to cirrhosis in the vast majority of patients and constitutes the first cause of paediatric liver transplantation. Animal models allow us to understand the molecular basis and natural history of diseases. The aim of this study is to describe a surgically created animal model of biliary atresia with emphasis in long-term liver function.

Intussusception is rare in adults and has different characteristics from intussusceptions of children. Its clinical manifestations are varied and often nonspecific, requiring a high index of suspicion for diagnosis. Within the study methods, computed tomography has become fundamental in the study of abdominal pain.
