To increase bandwidth and overcome packet loss in Wide Area Networks (WANs), per-packet multipath transmission and redundant transmission are increasingly being used as Software-Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN) solutions. However, this results in out-of-order and duplicate packets in the destination network. To restore sequential and unique data streams for multiple connections, hardware packet buffers with significant depth are required due to the large delay difference between WAN paths.

Objective: This study aimed to examine if fear of negative events affects Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale (Y-BOCS) scores in the context of a COVID-19-fear-invoking environment.
Background: Cognitive-coping therapy (CCT), integrating cognitive theory with stress-coping theory, is an efficacious therapy for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). However, the potential brain mediation for the effectiveness remains unclear. We sought to investigate differences of resting-state brain function between OCD and healthy controls and if such differences would be changed by a four-week CCT.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFPharmacotherapy and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) are widely used to treat obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). These treatments have helped many patients with OCD, but there still is room for improvement. Recently, a promising psychotherapy for OCD, cognitive-coping therapy (CCT), has been developed.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFPharmacotherapy and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) are currently the most effective interventions for treating obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). These treatments, however, are time consuming and in some cases the patients do not show significant improvement. In all, 30%-60% of OCD patients do not respond adequately to pharmacotherapy and 20%-40% of OCD patients who complete CBT do not improve significantly, suggesting a more efficacious approach is needed.
