However, many individuals with depression do not experience improvement from first-line treatments or choose not to engage in them due to stigma, cost, difficulty with access, and/or side effects.

Purpose: Accurate target delineation is essential when using intensity modulated radiation therapy for intact cervical cancer. In 2011, the Radiation Therapy Oncology Group published a consensus guideline using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The current project expands on the previous atlas by including computed tomography (CT)-based contours, contours with MRI and positron emission tomography (PET) registrations, the addition of common and complex scenarios, and incorporating information on simulation and treatment planning techniques.

Article Synopsis
  • Parkinson's disease (PD) is linked to inflammation, and researchers studied brain cells in late-stage PD using advanced techniques to understand vulnerabilities.
  • They analyzed brain samples from six PD patients and six healthy controls, identifying distinct changes in eight cell types, including increased T cells in PD and marked alterations in excitatory neurons.
  • Comparisons with Alzheimer's disease revealed that while neuron changes were different, both diseases shared some changes in glial cells, indicating unique underlying mechanisms for neuronal vulnerability in PD versus AD.

People may be more likely to exercise if they have self-efficacy for exercise (SEE). We conducted an exploratory analysis of SEE using data from a clinical trial designed to increase physical activity (N = 340). We evaluated correlates of baseline SEE and the relationship between baseline SEE and physical activity.
