Background: Sudden gains are large symptom improvements between consecutive therapy sessions. They have been shown to occur in randomised controlled trials of internet-delivered psychological interventions, but little is known about their occurrence when such treatments are delivered in routine clinical practice.
Objective: This study examined the occurrence of sudden gains in a therapist-guided internet-delivered Cognitive Therapy intervention for social anxiety disorder (iCT-SAD) delivered in the UK NHS talking therapies for anxiety and depression (formerly known as IAPT services).
Several donor-specific factors influence the functional recovery and long-term outcomes of liver grafts. This study investigated the association between donor fasting glucose (DFG) and recipient outcomes after living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) in 950 cases at a single center. Patients were divided into two groups: low-DFG (< 85 mg/dL, n = 120) and control (≥ 85 mg/dL, n = 830).

- - A survey of aging researchers revealed significant disagreement on key questions about aging, such as its definition, causes, onset, and rejuvenation, indicating a lack of consensus in the field.
- - Researchers have varying interpretations of what constitutes "aging," leading to different experimental approaches and priorities, which complicates the understanding and study of the aging process.
- - The findings highlight the necessity for clearer definitions and targeted goals within aging research, as well as strategies to address ongoing disagreements, in hopes of advancing the field.
Article Synopsis
- - Metal halide perovskites are promising for optoelectronic applications but struggle with moisture sensitivity, which affects their performance and commercialization.
- - Moisture causes degradation in these materials due to their ionic nature, making it challenging to fully understand how this impacts their luminescent properties.
- - This study investigates the degradation of perovskite nanocrystals, finding that larger crystal sizes lead to improved stability in moist conditions, enhancing their optical performance and potential for light-emitting technologies.
