Objective: For leaders of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) grappling with diverse tasks and stressors, personality functioning can play a key role on stress perception and building and managing professional relationships. We investigated the relationship between SME leaders' personality functioning on the dimensions of self-perception and self-regulation on perceived stress reactivity (PSR), and symptoms of anxiety and depression.
Methods: A cross-sectional sub analysis of a multi-centre RCT project was performed.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigated the CTBP2 gene and its relation to anorexia nervosa (AN) and body mass index (BMI) through mutation analysis, revealing 24 variants in the RIBEYE exon among various groups including patients with AN, obese children, and healthy individuals.
- Three rare non-synonymous variants were found in AN patients, while several variants were unique to children with severe obesity, indicating potential genetic links to these conditions.
- Functional studies showed that RIBEYE mRNA is expressed in the mouse hypothalamus and is influenced by leptin treatment, suggesting that the RIBEYE gene may play a role in body weight regulation.
Introduction: While ample data demonstrate the effectiveness of inpatient psychosomatic treatment, clinical observation and empirical evidence demonstrate that not all patients benefit equally from established therapeutic methods. Especially patients with a comorbid personality disorder often show reduced therapeutic success compared to other patient groups. Due to the heterogeneous and categorical personality assessment, previous studies indicated no uniform direction of this influence.
