The present review examined the comparative psychotherapy process literature in order to identify the distinctive activities of cognitive-behavioral (CB) treatment. Six techniques and interventions were found to distinguish CB from psychodynamic-interpersonal (PI) therapy: (1) use of homework and outside-of-session activities; (2) direction of session activity; (3) teaching of skills used by patients to cope with symptoms; (4) emphasis on patients' future experiences; (5) providing patients with information about their treatment, disorder, or symptoms; and (6) an intrapersonal/cognitive (C) focus. Identifying the distinctive features of CB therapy can improve the measurement of process-outcome correlations by more accurately specifying and operationalizing the treatment-specific processes of CB treatment, help researchers differentiate between common and treatment-specific factors, and aid in development of more psychometrically sound instruments assessing adherence and competence in CB therapy. In addition, this review can improve training of CB therapists by providing a guide for clinical practice.

Influenza is a highly contagious respiratory illness that imposes a significant global burden. Antiviral neuraminidase inhibitors (NAIs) such as oseltamivir (OC) have been proven essential, but the emergence of resistant viral strains necessitates the development of novel therapies. This study explored the potential of natural products as alternative NAIs.

Tumor microenvironment (TME) is composed of diverse cell types whose interactions, both direct and indirect, significantly influence tumorigenesis and therapeutic outcomes. Within TME, reactive oxygen species (ROS) are produced by various cells and exhibit a dual role: moderate ROS levels promote tumor initiation and progression, whereas excessive levels induce cancer cell death, influencing the efficacy of anticancer therapies. Inflammasomes, cytosolic multiprotein complexes, are pivotal in multiple stages of tumorigenesis and play a crucial role in establishing the inflammatory TME.

Understanding the detailed mechanism of action of glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonists on distinct topographic and genetically-defined brain circuits is critical for improving the efficacy and mitigating adverse side effects of these compounds. In this mini-review, we propose that the central nucleus of the amygdala (CeA) is a critical mediator of GLP-1R agonist-driven hypophagia. Here, we review the extant literature demonstrating CeA activation via GLP-1R agonists across multiple species and through multiple routes of administration.

Large-bandgap and high-dielectric 2D dielectrics are crucial for transistor performance because they maximize gate-to-channel capacitive coupling, yet such high-quality materials remain scarce. This study employed first-principles calculations to predict 18 distinct 2D bismuth oxides (BiOs). It is demonstrated that the 6s lone pairs in 2D BiOs form benign positive feedback between the bandgap and dielectric constant.

VS4 has emerged as a promising cathode material for aqueous zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs), attracting significant interest due to its unique layered atomic chain structure and high capacity. However, the low electrical conductivity of the material limits the diffusion rate of zinc ions, ultimately compromising its structural stability. In this study, we demonstrate the synthesis of nanorods through a simple hydrothermal recombination of carbon dots on vanadium sulfide.
