Community Ment Health J
January 2025
Despite the international incentives and the worldwide development of recovery-oriented policies, it has proven challenging to establish recovery-oriented mental health services that take into account users' subjectivity and perspectives (Slade et al., World Psychiatry 13(1):12-20, 2014. https://doi.

Objectives: The objective of this study was to operationalize empathy in the evaluator/evaluatee relationship during neuropsychological assessment.
Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is a dimeric, highly glycosylated hormone with a total of 4 N- and 4 O-glycosylation sites in its two subunits, hCGα and hCGβ. Recently, we developed a novel nano liquid chromatography coupled to high resolution mass spectrometry (nanoLC-HRMS) method for the analysis and thus the detection of the intact glycoforms of hCG. Here, a sorbent functionalized with the Jacalin lectin was evaluated in solid-phase extraction (SPE) for its potential to fractionate the hCG glycoforms prior to their nanoLC-HRMS analysis at the intact level, which may facilitate the detection of low-abundance glycoforms and may lead to a more detailed characterization of the hormone glycosylation.

- - A survey conducted by the Transplantation Commission of the SFNDT gathered responses from 232 nephrologists across France, Switzerland, and Belgium regarding the management of immunosuppressants (IS) in patients experiencing kidney transplant failure (KTF) between March and June 2023.
- - Findings indicated that a significant number of nephrologists discontinued various IS treatments post-KTF, with 83% stopping antimetabolites, while 39.9% and 25.8% stopped calcineurin inhibitors (CNI) and corticosteroids, respectively. Some nephrologists, however, continued CNI (14%) and corticosteroids (19.1%) long-term, often influenced by patient factors like comor
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to investigate the clinical significance and potential causes of low serum alkaline phosphatase (sALP) levels in children, emphasizing the importance of age-and sex-specific reference ranges in paediatrics.
- During the study period from 2015 to 2017, about 9.2% of evaluated paediatric patients showed low sALP, with the majority experiencing transient low levels; however, 9.6% had persistently low levels, often associated with prolonged immobilization or inflammatory bowel disease.
- The findings suggest that healthcare providers should take low sALP levels seriously, considering further evaluation and potential underlying conditions, as a notable percentage of patients exhibited persistently low sALP without clear reasons.
