Effectiveness of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy for treating generalized anxiety disorder and the moderating influence of abuse during childhood: A randomized controlled trial.

Background: Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) has emerged as a promising intervention for generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). This study evaluated MBCT's effectiveness for GAD and examined whether childhood maltreatment moderates its impact.

Methods: Individuals with GAD were randomized to receive one of two 8-week interventions, either MBCT in-person or psychoeducation on-line (n = 27 per group).

catena-Poly[[(isoquinoline-κN)(triphenylphospane-κP)copper(I)]-μ-thio-cyanato-κN:S].

In the title coordination compound, [Cu(NCS)(C(9)H(7)N)(C(18)H(15)P)](n), the Cu(I) atom is tetra-hedrally coordinated by one N atom from an isoquinoline ligand, one P atom from a triphenyl-phospane ligand, and one N and one S atom from two thio-cyanate anions. The thio-cyanide anions bridge the Cu(I) atoms into a chain along [100]. π-π inter-actions between the pyridine and benzene rings of the isoquinoline ligands connect the chains [centroid-to-centroid distance = 3.

5,6-Dimethyl-1,2,4-triazin-3-amine.

In the crystal structure of the title compound, C(5)H(8)N(4), adjacent mol-ecules are connected through N-H⋯N hydrogen bonds, resulting in a zigzag chain along [100]. The amino groups and heterocyclic N atoms are involved in further N-H⋯N hydrogen bonds, forming R(2) (2)(8) motifs.

Reliability and validity of the PHQ-9 for screening late-life depression in Chinese primary care.

Objective: The aim of this study was to examine the reliability and validation of the 9-item Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) for late-life depression in Chinese primary care.

Methods: In the primary care clinics (PCCs) of Hangzhou city, we recruited 364 older patients (aged ≥ 60) for the PHQ-9 screening. Then 77 of them were further interviewed with Structured Clinical Interview for DSM Disorders (SCID) for the diagnosis of major depression in late life.
