Investigating assumptions in motivational interviewing among general practitioners: a qualitative study.

Background: Unhealthy behaviours contributing to cardiovascular issues, diabetes, strokes, and cancer, pose significant health risks. General practitioners (GPs) are pivotal in guiding behaviour change, with Motivational Interviewing (MI) showing promise. MI, developed by William Miller and Stephen Rollnick, aims to enhance motivation for change.

Quantitative magnetization transfer and g-ratio imaging of white matter myelin in early psychotic spectrum disorders.

Myelin abnormalities in white matter have been implicated in the pathophysiology of psychotic spectrum disorders (PSD), which are characterized by brain dysconnectivity as a core feature. Among evidence from in vivo MRI studies, diffusion imaging findings have largely supported disrupted white matter integrity in PSD; however, they are not specific to myelin changes. Using a multimodal imaging approach, the current study aimed to further delineate myelin and microstructural changes in the white matter of a young PSD cohort.

Innovative population-based strategies for primary prevention of cardiovascular disease: A 2-year randomised control trial evaluating behavioral change led by community champions versus brief advice.

Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) caused 17.9 million deaths worldwide in 2019. General CVD prevention should be developed whilst controlling health expenditure.

A dTALE approach demonstrates that induction of common bean OVATE Family Protein 7 promotes resistance to common bacterial blight.

Common bacterial blight (CBB) is a devastating seed-transmitted disease of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), caused by Xanthomonas phaseoli pv. phaseoli and Xanthomonas citri pv.
