Imagery-based cognitive therapy to reduce emotional dysregulation and mood instability in bipolar disorder: a case-series study.

Introduction: Bipolar disorder (BD) has a significant impact on functioning in the absence of acute mood episodes. This has been associated with subsyndromal symptoms, co-morbidities, and emotional dysregulation. The present study aims to evaluate the acceptability and preliminary efficacy of imagery-based cognitive therapy (ImCT) in a French community setting.

Why is binding of a divalent metal cation to a structural motif containing four carboxylate residues not accompanied by a conformational change?

We earlier showed that Torpedo californica acetylcholinesterase (AChE) contains a cluster of four conserved aspartates that can strongly bind divalent cations, which we named the 4D motif. Binding of the divalent metal cations greatly increases its thermal stability. Here we systematically examined all available crystallographic structures of T.

Engagement, Acceptability, and Effectiveness of the Self-Care and Coach-Supported Versions of the Vira Digital Behavior Change Platform Among Young Adults at Risk for Depression and Obesity: Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial.

Background: Adolescence and early adulthood are pivotal stages for the onset of mental health disorders and the development of health behaviors. Digital behavioral activation interventions, with or without coaching support, hold promise for addressing risk factors for both mental and physical health problems by offering scalable approaches to expand access to evidence-based mental health support.

Objective: This 2-arm pilot randomized controlled trial evaluated 2 versions of a digital behavioral health product, Vira (Ksana Health Inc), for their feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effectiveness in improving mental health in young adults with depressive symptoms and obesity risk factors.
