We provide a general framework to guide the development of interventions that aim to address persistent features in eating disorders that may preclude effective treatment. Using perfectionism as an exemplar, we draw from research in cognitive neuroscience regarding attention and reinforcement learning, from learning theory and social psychology regarding vicarious learning and implications for the role modeling of significant others, and from clinical psychology on the importance of verbal narratives as barriers that may influence expectations and shape reinforcement schedules.

Background: Therapeutic monitoring is routinely performed to ensure tacrolimus whole-blood concentrations fall within a predefined target. Despite this, patients still experience inefficacy and toxicity that could be related to variability in free (unbound) tacrolimus exposure. Therefore, the aim of this study was to compare tacrolimus-free plasma (C u ), total plasma (C p ), and whole-blood (C wb ) concentrations in adult kidney transplant recipients and to characterize tacrolimus disposition across different matrices.

: The current classification of pulmonary hypertension (PH) distinguishes between pre-capillary (PAWP ≤ 15 mmHg) and post-capillary (PAWP > 15 mmHg) forms, with left heart disease, especially heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), being a common cause of PH. We investigated the suitability of an HFpEF diagnosis instead of PAWP in diagnosing PH associated with HFpEF. : In a retrospective, single-center analysis, we reviewed diagnoses from our database, focusing on patients initially diagnosed with idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH) or PH associated with HFpEF (PH-HFpEF) based on their PAWP.
