Objective: To describe the development and implementation of General Psychiatric Management (GPM), a dynamically informed psychotherapeutic and case management approach along with symptom-targeted pharmacological interventions for the treatment of borderline personality disorder (BPD), derived from the American Psychiatric Association's (APA) guidelines for treating BPD.
Method: Clinician adherence to GPM was assessed using the General Psychiatric Management Adherence Scale (GPMAS), which measured the amount of emphasis accorded to therapeutic tools and strategies during individual therapy sessions. GPMAS surveys were completed by 9 different therapists every 6 weeks during 1 year for 50 patients.
Results: GPMAS displayed excellent internal consistency and good-to-excellent test-retest reliability. The convergence between patient- and therapist-rated sessions was excellent. Mean levels of emphasis were significantly greater for GPM interventions than prohibited ones across all time points. The mean number of prescribed psychotropic medications was 2.3, and the most frequently prescribed class of medication was antidepressants, followed by neuroleptics.
Conclusions: From these results, we conclude that the clinicians were adherent to the outlined protocol and that the GPMAS is a valuable measure for demonstrating adherence to therapies based on the APA guidelines.

Laboratory of Innovation for Healthcare (Linc), Postgraduate Program in Pharmaceutical Sciences, Federal University of Espírito Santo, Vitória, ES, Brazil.
Background: Inadequate medication knowledge and medication nonadherence by patients are considered an issue in healthcare, as they can lead to negative outcomes, such as therapeutic failures and hospitalization. Even though drug dispensing, which has pharmacist counseling as a core element, is a service traditionally performed by pharmacists, there is still no evidence about the influence of this service on these health outcomes.
Objective: To evaluate the influence of drug dispensing on patients' medication knowledge and medication adherence.

Background: Tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) is the most common tick-borne viral infection in Eurasia. Outcomes range from asymptomatic infection to fatal encephalitis, with host genetics likely playing a role. BALB/c mice have intermediate susceptibility to TBE virus (TBEV) and STS mice are highly resistant, whereas the recombinant congenic strain CcS-11, which carries 12.

Background: The prevalence of trauma among individuals with HIV has prompted efforts to integrate trauma-informed care (TIC) into HIV care and treatment to improve health outcomes. A TIC Implementation Model, developed by a US capacity-building organization focuses on organizational changes, aligning cultural and physical environments, emphasizing values like safety and trustworthiness, engaging leadership, and training staff in skills-based TIC services. Despite growing research, gaps remain in understanding the relationship between organizational capacity, provider knowledge, and the dosage of technical assistance (TA) required to sustain TIC integration.

Thoracoabdominal normothermic regional perfusion (TA-NRP), a new method of controlled donation after circulatory death, seems to provide more and better organs for patients on organ transplant waiting lists compared to standard controlled donation after circulatory death. Despite its benefits, the ethical permissibility of TA-NRP is currently a highly debated issue. The recent statement published by the American College of Physicians (ACP) highlights the reasons for these debates.
