On a psychological-motivational-vertical axis, the more or less covert experiences of members of a therapeutic group are determining factors, whereas on a sociological-interactional-horizontal axis, the system approach, or the network of preponderantly apparent interactions, is the object of therapeutic interventions. The psychological view is directed toward the individual members, whereas the sociological approach means grasping the group as a whole. In group treatment a shifting resultant is mostly observed, at times stressing the individual-psychological approach and at other times the systemic-interactional approach. Five phases of group psychotherapy are discussed in which childhood conflicts and deficiency experiences are activated, and insight and social learning are furthered; the psychodynamics and interactions between the members go on in the described phases on individually different levels, apparent or hidden.

Background: Preoperative prediction of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-low expression using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can enhance the selection of clinical treatment strategies and enhance patient outcomes. Herein, we investigated the value of a neural network model constructed with multiparametric MRI in diagnosing HER2-low breast cancer.
Methods: This retrospective study involved two different centers.

Proteins are dynamic systems whose structural preferences determine their function. Unfortunately, building atomically detailed models of protein structural ensembles remains challenging, limiting our understanding of the relationships between sequence, structure, and function. Combining single molecule Förster resonance energy transfer (smFRET) experiments with molecular dynamics simulations could provide experimentally grounded, all-atom models of a protein's structural ensemble.

Isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and pressure perturbation calorimetry (PPC) were used to study different aspects of the diverse interaction between the fatty acid caprylate and bovine serum albumin (BSA). The ITC thermogram was consistent with exothermic binding to a single site on BSA, which was electrostatic but had little or no hydrophobic contribution. ITC revealed that small changes to solution conditions and temperature were associated with apparent enthalpy-entropy compensation, causing large changes in enthalpy (ΔH) during binding, but with little corresponding changes in free energy (ΔG).

Investigating the conspicuousness of animal color patterns to different observers is crucial for understanding their function. This study examines the peculiar case of a jumping spider (Saitis barbipes) whose males display red and black ornaments during courtship despite an apparent inability to distinguish these colors. We propose that, through predator eyes, red may actually be a better match than black to the spiders' leaf litter background, and that the black fringe of hairs surrounding red ornaments may blur with red at natural predator acuities and viewing distances to produce a background-matching desaturated red.
