Article Synopsis
- A study investigates therapists' views on a new treatment approach called MANTRa for young people with anorexia nervosa, highlighting the need for better therapies due to increasing eating disorder cases.
- Qualitative interviews with 10 therapists led to five themes concerning the strengths and flexibility of the MANTRa workbook, the importance of a supportive therapeutic process, and how well the treatment framework ensures quality.
- The study concludes that enhancements in MANTRa's content, therapist training, and offering a digital version could improve therapy effectiveness, while case formulation letters are identified as a valuable tool for building therapeutic relationships and aiding recovery.
Objective: We aimed to evaluate longitudinal changes in set-shifting and central coherence in a predominantly adolescent cohort with anorexia nervosa (AN) and to explore whether these factors predict long-term eating disorder outcomes.
Method: Ninety-two female patients with AN (mean age: 16.2, range: 13-21 years) completed neurocognitive tests (Rey Complex Figure Test, Adapted Version of the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test) before and after 12 months of psychotherapeutic treatment (n = 45 Maudsley AN Treatment, MANTRa; n = 47 standard psychotherapy; groups not randomised).
Article Synopsis
- Staphylococcus aureus can invade bone structures and cause infections like osteomyelitis, with the cell wall protein PBP4 being vital for this process.
- Deleting the pbp4 gene prevents the bacteria from invading bone networks and causing disease in mice.
- Research has identified a chemical, phenyl-urea 1, that targets PBP4, and further studies on related compounds have shown potential for better binding and effectiveness against antibiotic resistance.
Introduction: The project "digiDEM Bayern" aims to set up a registry with long-term follow-up data on people with dementia and their family caregivers. For that purpose an Electronic Data Capture (EDC) system linked with a Participant Management (PM) system has been established. This study evaluates the acceptance and usability of the IT tools supporting all data management processes in order to further improve the system and associated processes.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFWe present a novel approach for Stimulated Raman Scattering (SRS) spectroscopy in which a hyper spectral resolution and high-speed spectral acquisition are achieved by employing amplified offset-phase controlled fs-pulse bursts. We investigate the method by solving the coupled non-linear Schrödinger equations and validate it by numerically characterizing SRS in molecular nitrogen as a model compound. The spectral resolution of the method is found to be determined by the inverse product of the number of pulses in the burst and the intraburst pulse separation.
