The aim of this EPA guidance was to develop recommendations on eMental health interventions in the treatment of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). A systematic literature search was performed and 40 articles were retrieved and assessed with regard to study characteristics, applied technologies, therapeutic approaches, diagnostic ascertainment, efficacy, sustainability of clinical effects, practicability and acceptance, attrition rates, safety, clinician-supported vs. non-supported interventions and active vs. waiting-list controls. The reviewed studies showed a great heterogeneity concerning study type, study samples, interventions and outcome measures. Based on these findings, five graded recommendations dealing with symptom reduction, acceptability, type of administration, clinician support, self-efficacy and coping were developed.

Introduction: Graduate medical education is being reformed in many countries, with a focus on the principles of competency-based medical education (CBME). A main novel aspect in this context is the implementation of entrustable professional activities (EPAs). The introduction of EPAs aims to better align training curricula with clinical practice, provide individualized supervision, and enhance the quality of feedback.

Article Synopsis
  • DHA and EPA are crucial n-3 fatty acids that significantly influence the growth, lipid metabolism, and health of Yangtze sturgeon, but their effects on the female generation remain understudied.
  • The study revealed that a diet containing 1.0%-1.5% n-3 HUFAs resulted in the best weight gain, while 0.5% led to the highest triglyceride levels; fatty acid profiles in fish mirrored their diets.
  • Dietary n-3 HUFA levels affected gene expression related to growth and metabolism, with increased diversity in intestinal microbiota observed alongside higher n-3 HUFA concentrations, particularly peaking at 2.4%.
