There is evidence that progress feedback combined with a clinical support tool (CST) improves treatment outcome in individual psychotherapy. This study examined the effect of feedback in combination with a CST in outpatient group psychotherapy. A prospective cohort study was performed with patients meeting diagnostic criteria for a major depressive disorder or an anxiety disorder. Patients received cognitive-behavioral group therapy or interpersonal group therapy and completed the Outcome Questionnaire-45 on a session by session basis. In the control cohort (N = 132), no feedback was provided. In the feedback cohort (N = 137), patients and clinicians received feedback on the treatment progress based on the Outcome Questionnaire-45. If a patient was deteriorating as compared with the start of treatment or the previous session, the CST was offered. Both cohorts showed a significant decrease in symptoms during therapy, but no significant differences existed on treatment outcome. The number of sessions was significantly lower in the feedback cohort. The results suggest that feedback in outpatient group psychotherapy does not improve outcomes but that fewer sessions may be sufficient to obtain outcomes similar to treatment as usual. More research with the use of progress feedback in outpatient group therapy is needed, especially with CSTs. (PsycINFO Database Record

Background: Targeting glucose uptake by glucose transporter (GLUT) inhibitors is a therapeutic opportunity, but efforts on GLUT inhibitors have not been successful in the clinic and the underlying mechanism remains unclear. We aim to identify the key metabolic changes responsible for cancer cell survival from glucose limitation and elucidate its mechanism.
Methods: The level of phosphorylated YAP was analyzed with Western blotting and Phos-tag immunoblotting.

Adapting one's speaking style is particularly crucial as children start interacting with diverse conversational partners in various communication contexts. The study investigated the capacity of preschool children aged 3-5 years ( = 28) to modify their speaking styles in response to background noise, referred to as noise-adapted speech, and when talking to an interlocutor who pretended to have hearing loss, referred to as clear speech. We examined how two modified speaking styles differed across the age range.

Anatomy plays a key role in veterinary training, and alternatives to traditional teaching methods, such as game-based learning and escape rooms, are emerging as innovative and effective methods. However, the effectiveness of these approaches, particularly in areas such as veterinary anatomy, remains under-researched. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a digital escape room in teaching veterinary anatomy to first-year students at the Toulouse Veterinary School.

The role of the intrarenal renin-angiotensin system (iRAS) in diabetic kidney disease (DKD) progression remains unclear. In this study, we generated mice with renal tubule-specific deletion of angiotensinogen (Agt; RT-Agt-/-) in both Akita and streptozotocin (STZ)-induced mouse model of diabetes. Both Akita RT-Agt-/- and STZ-RT-Agt-/- mice exhibited significant attenuation of glomerular hyperfiltration, urinary albumin/creatinine ratio, glomerulomegaly and tubular injury.

Background: Late-onset Alzheimer's disease (LOAD) is the leading cause of dementia and a major contributor to increased mortality. Recent human datasets have revealed many LOAD genetic risk factors that are correlated with the degree of AD burden. Further, the complexity and heterogeneity of LOAD appears to be promoted by interactions between genetics and environmental factors such as diet, sedentary behavior, and exposure to toxicants, like lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), and arsenic (As).
