Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Anxiety in Parkinson's Disease: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Background: Anxiety disorders are among the most prevalent and disabling neuropsychiatric syndromes in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD), but no randomized controlled treatment trials of anxiety have been published to date.

Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in the treatment of anxiety in patients with PD.

Methods: Forty-eight patients with PD with anxiety were randomized 1:1 between CBT and clinical monitoring only (CMO).

A blended cognitive behavioral intervention for patients with adjustment disorder with anxiety: A randomized controlled trial.

Adjustment disorder with anxiety (ADA) is a common psychiatric pathology worldwide, but it is often undertreated. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is the first-line treatment, but very few studies have been carried out for the treatment of ADA. Internet-delivered CBT (iCBT) appears to be an effective treatment option, with the potential to reach a larger proportion of individuals suffering from ADA.

[Vertical dimension in the treatment of the edentulous patient].

Determining and recording appropriate occlusal vertical dimension (OVD) in the treatment of the edentulous patient is an important but critical procedure in practice. Incorrect determination of the OVD may result in failure of complete denture treatment. Many methods have been advocated to determine the vertical dimension in edentulous patients.

Autonomic nervous system responses to sweet taste: evidence for habituation rather than pleasure.

Previous recordings of the variations of autonomic nervous system (ANS) parameters associated with each primary taste (sweet, salty, sour and bitter) showed that sweet taste induced very weak ANS responses, in the same range or weaker than responses evoked by mineral water. The purpose of this study was then to determine whether this weak ANS activation reflects the pleasant hedonic valence of sweet or the habituation of the organism to this innate-accepted taste. Twenty healthy volunteer subjects (8 males and 12 females, mean age=22.
