The aim of the study was to generate a model describing psychotherapists' use of new media in outpatient psychotherapy. Problem-centered interviews were conducted with 12 outpatient psychotherapists. Data was analyzed following the Grounded Theory approach. The interviews revealed five categories that were integrated into the model "Use of new media in outpatient therapy" (MAP): First, psychotherapists' characteristics determine whether new media use is considered. When new media is in use, patient characteristics define its intensity and content. Additionally, decision making rules and communication rules shape therapists' use of new media. MAP identifies barriers and facilitators of new media application in outpatient psychotherapy and describes psychotherapists' decision making process. Options for implementing blended therapy in outpatient psychotherapeutic care are discussed.

Purpose Of Review: This review aims to determine whether muscle mass and function can be effectively maintained without relying on animal-based protein sources. We evaluate the quality, digestibility, and essential amino acid profiles of plant-based proteins to understand their potential in preventing and managing sarcopenia.
Recent Finding: Recent studies indicate that while animal-based proteins have traditionally been considered the gold standard for supporting muscle protein synthesis, certain plant-based protein blends, fortified with leucine or other essential amino acids, can produce comparable anabolic responses.

Background: The blended learning (BL) approach to training health care professionals is increasingly adopted in many countries because of high costs and disruption to service delivery in the light of severe human resource shortage in low resource settings. The Covid-19 pandemic increased the urgency to identify alternatives to traditional face-to-face (f2f) education approach. A four-day f2f antenatal care (ANC) and postnatal care (PNC) continuous professional development course (CPD) was repackaged into a 3-part BL course; (1) self-directed learning (16 h) (2) facilitated virtual sessions (2.

Traditional medicine is widely used in sub-Saharan Africa, particularly in Ghana, where it is commonly integrated with modern orthodox medicine. This study examines the barriers that delay the pursuit of orthodox medical care for prostate cancer (PCa) in Ghana's Central region, where a blend of traditional and modern orthodox medicine exists. The preference for indigenous traditional medicine often results in late-stage presentations of PCa, adversely affecting patient outcomes.
