AI Article Synopsis
- Therapeutic education helps patients align their life goals with their disease and treatment.
- It focuses on making patients more independent in managing their health.
- This approach is commonly used by teams of healthcare professionals for patients with chronic illnesses.
Article Abstract
The objective of therapeutic education is to enable patients to reconcile their life project, disease and treatment. To achieve this, it aims notably to make them autonomous in the management of their health. Often practised in a multi-disciplinary team, it is an essential component of the management of patients with chronic diseases.

Modelling epidemiological dynamics with pseudo-recovery via fractional-order derivative operator and optimal control measures.
PLoS One
January 2025
Department of Pure and Applied Mathematics, Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, Ogbomoso, Nigeria.
In this study, a new deterministic mathematical model based on fractional-order derivative operator that describes the pseudo-recovery dynamics of an epidemiological process is developed. Fractional-order derivative of Caputo type is used to examine the effect of memory in the spread process of infectious diseases with pseudo-recovery. The well-posedness of the model is qualitatively investigated through Banach fixed point theory technique.

Wilhelm Wundt Institute of Psychology, Leipzig University.
In this editorial, I outline two key changes to the submission guidelines, and I present my vision as the new editor for Psychology and Aging, the premier outlet for psychological research on aging and adult lifespan development. To enhance the impact of research published in the journal, my editorial team and I will accept articles that make strong theoretical contributions, are methodologically rigorous and transparent, use open science practices, contribute cumulative knowledge to the field, and have important practical implications. We will continue to publish high-quality empirical articles, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses, as well as theory development and methodological articles from all areas of psychology and related disciplines that focus on basic principles of aging and adult lifespan development or that investigate these principles in applied settings.

Adv Biotechnol (Singap)
October 2024
State Key Laboratory of Biocontrol, Guangdong Provincial Key Laboratory of Plant Stress Biology, School of Agriculture and Biotechnology, Shenzhen Campus of Sun Yat-Sen University, Shenzhen, 518107, China.
The principle of the "growth-defense trade-off" governs how plants adjust their growth and defensive strategies in response to external factors, impacting interactions among plants, herbivorous insects, and their natural enemies. Mineral nutrients are crucial in modulating plant growth and development through their bottom-up effects. Emerging evidence has revealed complex regulatory networks that link mineral nutrients to plant defense responses, influencing the delicate balance between growth and defense against herbivores.

Expert Opin Drug Deliv
January 2025
School of Pharmacy, Shenyang Pharmaceutical University, Shenyang, Liaoning, China.
Introduction: Transdermal patches offer a unique advantage by providing extended therapeutic benefits while maintaining stable plasma drug concentration. The efficacy and safety of patches depend significantly on their ability to adhere to the skin, a feature influenced by various external and internal factors.
Areas Covered: The review primarily focuses on the fundamental aspects of adhesion in transdermal patches, including basic information about the skin, the underlying principles of adhesion, drug delivery, and adhesion characteristics of pressure sensitive adhesives (PSAs), adhesion issues, impact factors, strategies to improve patch adhesion, and relevant molecular mechanisms.
Extracellular matrix stiffness regulates colorectal cancer progression via HSF4.
J Exp Clin Cancer Res
January 2025
Department of General Surgery, Xiangya Hospital, Central South University, Changsha, Hunan, 410008, China.
Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) has high incidence and mortality rates, with severe prognoses during invasion and metastasis stages. Despite advancements in diagnostic and therapeutic technologies, the impact of the tumour microenvironment, particularly extracellular matrix (ECM) stiffness, on CRC progression and metastasis is not fully understood.
Methods: This study included 107 CRC patients.
