Objectives: Emotional and behavioral problems (EBP) during adolescence are a major public health issue due to its high prevalence and long-lasting consequences. The knowledge of the barriers in providing psychosocial care can be a starting point for subsequent efficiency improvement. Therefore, the aim of this study is to assess which barriers do care providers experience while providing psychosocial care for adolescents with EBP.

- Clinical rating scales often miss the full range of dystonic symptoms, prompting the need for a reliable biomarker to assess the effectiveness of deep brain stimulation (GPi-DBS) for treating dystonia.
- In a study of 12 patients undergoing GPi-DBS, researchers found that those with arm dystonia had higher intermuscular coherence in the 4-12 Hz range before surgery, which significantly decreased after the procedure.
- Despite the observed changes in coherence, the study found no strong links between coherence levels and clinical rating scale scores, suggesting that more research is needed to determine the biomarker's clinical utility.
Accurate genome inheritance during cell division relies on a complex chromosome segregation mechanism. This process occurs once all the kinetochores of sister chromatids are attached to microtubules emanating from the opposite poles of the mitotic spindle. To control the precision of this mechanism, the Chromosome Passenger Complex (CPC) actively identifies and corrects improper microtubule attachments.

This study aimed to explore blood glucose profiles in Para cyclists and evaluate CGM accuracy at rest and during exercise. Thirteen Para cyclists, comprising eight hand bikers and five cyclists, wore a CGM sensor (Abbott) for 2 weeks.
