Background And Objectives: Rates of mental health disorders are rising among adolescents and young adults. Therefore, scalable methods for preventing psychopathology in these age groups are needed. As repetitive negative thinking (RNT) is a risk factor for depression and anxiety disorders, targeting RNT via smartphone app promises to be an effective, scalable strategy.

Rumination-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (RF-CBT) effectively targets rumination and may change resting-state brain connectivity and change in activation during a rumination induction task (RIT) post-intervention predicts depressive symptoms two years later. We examined brain activation changes during an RIT in adolescents with remitted MDD following RF-CBT and evaluated RIT reliability (or stability) during treatment as usual (TAU).

- - The spatial distribution of component species in electroactive film devices is crucial for understanding their performance, influencing both transport rates and mechanical properties.
- - Specular neutron reflectivity (NR) is a technique that can profile individual species at "buried" interfaces, although it has traditionally had poor time resolution.
- - This study demonstrates improved NR measurements that allow for spatial and temporal resolution during processes like polypyrrole electrodeposition and copper deposition/dissolution, revealing insights into film homogeneity and complex solvent interactions.
Objective: This study examined the characteristics and effect of a doctoral degree on career metrics of physician associate/assistant (PA) graduates.
Methods: This was a comparative analysis study of doctor of medical science (DMSc) program graduates. Characteristics from this survey were compared with program data and the National Commission on Certification of Physician Assistants Statistical Profile of Board Certified PAs for 2022.
Background: Personalised management of recurrent depression, considering individual patient characteristics, is crucial.
Aims: This study evaluates the potentially different mediating role of mindfulness skills in managing recurrent depression using mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) among people with varying depression severity.
Method: Data from the Prevention of Depressive Relapse or Recurrence (PREVENT) trial, comparing MBCT (with antidepressant medication (ADM) tapering support, MBCT-tapering support) versus maintenance-ADM, were used.
