Therapeutic alliance has been frequently studied in individual counseling sessions; however, research on therapeutic alliance in residential settings for youth with mental health diagnoses has been limited. This may be due, in part, to the presence of multiple service providers often in caregiving roles. The purpose of this study was to examine the psychometric quality of a widely utilized measure of therapeutic alliance used in psychotherapy with youth in residential care where the treatment is provided by a trained married couple. We also compared the relationship between youth ratings of their male and female service provider, as well as examined correlations in ratings between youth and staff on therapeutic alliance. Finally, we investigated the direction, magnitude, and trajectory of change in therapeutic alliance over a 12-month period following admission into residential care. The method was a longitudinal assessment of 135 youth and 124 staff regarding therapeutic alliance over the course of 12 months or discharge from services. Results indicated strong psychometric properties and high correlations for youth ratings of both their male and female service providers. However, the correlation was low between youth and service provider ratings of alliance. Longitudinal analyses indicated that rates of therapeutic alliance changed over time.

Although peptide vaccines offer a novel venue for cancer immunotherapy, clinical success has been rather limited. Cell-penetrating peptides, due to their ability to translocate through the cell membrane, could be conjugated to the peptide vaccine to2 enhance therapeutic efficiency. The S4 transduction domain of the shaker-potassium channel was conjugated to mammaglobin-A (MamA) immunodominant epitope (MamA2.

Background: Remote monitoring using electronic patient-reported outcomes (ePROs) may help identify immune-related adverse events (irAEs) and direct self-management. There is no consensus regarding thresholds to alert providers about potentially severe irAEs or when to instigate evidence-based self-management. We aimed to develop consensus around alert thresholds and self-management advice for side-effects suggestive of an irAE which can be deployed as part of remote monitoring systems.

The Research Unit for General Practice & Section for General Practice, Department of Public Health, University of Copenhagen, Copenhagen, Denmark.
Background: In chronic care, patient-GP collaboration is essential, but might be challenging if patients have complex health problems due to multimorbidity, psychosocial predicaments and addiction problems. To understand and manage these challenges, it is important to explore how patients' and GPs' attempt to collaborate, to maintain and achieve an alliance in order to gain good quality of care.
Aim: To explore how dyads of GPs and patients that GPs deem have complex health problems and difficulties following treatment perceive and manage challenges in their chronic care partnership.
Tele-rehabilitation for children with physical disabilities: qualitative exploration of challenges in Iran.

Background: Children with physical disabilities (Having this type of disability can be due to any of the reasons such as cerebral palsy, genetic, developmental, neurodevelopment and any other reasons that cause physical disability in the child) need rehabilitation services. Tele-rehabilitation is a practical approach to provide rehabilitation services for children with rapid and continuous access. This approach has been used more recently and overcomes the limitations of conventional rehabilitation, which involves wasting time, traveling distance, and cost.

Objectives: Biphasic sinusoidal repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a noninvasive brain stimulation treatment that has been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for treatment-resistant depression (TRD). Recent advances suggest that standard rTMS may be improved by altering the pulse shape; however, there is a paucity of research investigating pulse shape, owing primarily to the technologic limitations of currently available devices. This pilot study examined the feasibility, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of biphasic and monophasic rectangular rTMS for TRD.
