Internet use and health literacy among pediatric chronic kidney disease patients and their caregivers.

Background: Management of pediatric chronic kidney disease (CKD) is complex for affected youth and their families. Treatment requires a high level of family engagement to successfully manage medical appointments, inpatient hospital stays, and daily medication regimens. Health literacy has been identified as a possible contributor to health inequities and unsuccessful chronic disease management.

Automated virtual reality cognitive therapy versus virtual reality mental relaxation therapy for the treatment of persistent persecutory delusions in patients with psychosis (THRIVE): a parallel-group, single-blind, randomised controlled trial in England with mediation analyses.

Background: Persecutory delusions are a major psychiatric problem that often do not respond sufficiently to standard pharmacological or psychological treatments. We developed a new brief automated virtual reality (VR) cognitive treatment that has the potential to be used easily in clinical services. We aimed to compare VR cognitive therapy with an alternative VR therapy (mental relaxation), with an emphasis on understanding potential mechanisms of action.

Early Childhood Administrator Perspectives About Preschool Inclusion: A Qualitative Interview Study.

Unlabelled: This qualitative phenomenological study utilized structured interviews with 23 preschool administrators to explore their beliefs about preschool inclusion and needed resources for providing high-quality preschool inclusion. Themes emerged regarding administrators' beliefs about inclusion, including divergent understandings of inclusion as something that is either for all or for some children. Administrators placed a high value on families' preferences regarding preschool inclusion and at times focused their descriptions of inclusion on logistical aspects of placements and funding.

Intercalation-free, fast switching of mesoporous antimony doped tin oxide with cathodically coloring electrochromic dyes.

Mesoporous nanoparticle layers of transparent conductive oxides (TCOs) with anchored organic dyes are of great interest for electrochromic applications. Herein, we prepared mesoporous layers of antimony doped tin oxide (ATO) consisting of only 5 nm large particles with a low Sb concentration (2% antimony). The particles were prepared a modified synthesis procedure based on hexahydroxostannate and pure Sb(v) hexahydroxoantimonate(v).

Listening to and Believing Derogatory and Threatening Voices.

Background And Hypothesis: A plausible cause of distress for voice hearers is listening to and believing the threats and criticisms heard. Qualitative research indicates that patients have understandable reasons to listen. This study aimed to develop the understanding of distress using this listening and believing framework.
