Decision-making has been suggested as an endophenotype candidate for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). However, few studies have examined whether decision-making under ambiguity is an endophenotype of OCD. This study aimed to investigate decision-making under ambiguity, as assessed by the Iowa Gambling Task (IGT), in patients with OCD and unaffected first-degree relatives (UFDR).

- ADHD symptoms can continue into adulthood, affecting areas like executive function, emotional regulation, and motivation, yet there's limited research on effective treatment options such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in Japan.
- This study aims to evaluate a new, culturally-adapted CBT program for adult ADHD patients in Japan, involving 12 participants in an open, multicenter format over a period of 24-28 weeks.
- The main focus will be on assessing the feasibility of this CBT program through dropout rates and clinical severity score changes, while also examining long-term treatment effects and related factors like depression and quality of life.

Methods: After receiving electrocautery burns on the inside of the abdominal wall, the hamsters were divided into the PGA group (a PGA sheet was placed on the burned area) and a non-treated group (a PGA sheet was not placed). The degree of adhesion was evaluated at 3, 14, 28, and 56 days after burn injury, and the mRNA levels of myeloperoxidase (MPO), tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, and transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1 at the surgical sites were measured.
