Studies indicate that approximately 9%-30% of adults diagnosed with obsessive-compulsive disorder have poor insight into their symptoms. That is, they fail to recognize the excessiveness or irrationality of the obsessive thoughts or their compulsive behaviors. Poor insight in OCD is associated with more severe symptoms, earlier age of illness onset, longer illness duration, and higher rates of comorbid depression. Moreover, some studies have also reported that patients with poor insight are less likely than are those with good or fair insight to respond to first-line treatments such as exposure and response prevention (ERP). Despite the clinical relevance of poor insight, very little research has focused on how to enhance therapy with strategies specifically used to target it. In this report, we use a case study to demonstrate how different techniques can be emphasized or integrated with standard ERP to improve treatment outcomes for this subset of patients.

High-throughput phenotyping of wheat root angle and coleoptile length at different temperatures using 3D-printed equipment.
BMC Plant Biol
January 2025
Department of Field Crops, Faculty of Agriculture, Necmettin Erbakan University, Konya, 42310, Türkiye.
Background: Innovation in crop establishment is crucial for wheat productivity in drought-prone climates. Seedling establishment, the first stage of crop productivity, relies heavily on root and coleoptile system architecture for effective soil water and nutrient acquisition, particularly in regions practicing deep planting. Root phenotyping methods that quickly determine coleoptile lengths are vital for breeding studies.

Aims: To investigate the associations between influencing factors with length of stay (LOS) and hospitalisation expenses in oral cancer (OC) patients, and to explore the potential pathways through which these factors influence hospitalisation expenses using path analysis.
Design: Cross-sectional.
Setting: A comprehensive tertiary hospital in southeastern China.
Objective: To explore the lived experiences and extent of cognitive symptoms in Long COVID (LC) in a UK-based sample.
Design: This study implemented a mixed-methods design. Eight focus groups were conducted to collect qualitative data, and the Framework Analysis was used to reveal the experiences and impact of cognitive symptoms.

Background: Clinical predictors of treatment-resistant depression could improve treatment strategies. Depressive symptom profiles at baseline are potential outcome predictors, but little evidence is available, and sex-specific profiles have been scarcely investigated.
Methods: Baseline symptom scores of 1294 patients with major depressive disorder were assessed by the Montgomery-Åsberg depression rating scale (MADRS) as part of a multicenter study by the "Group for the Studies of Resistant Depression".
Insights into the use of DNA content in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma as a method for patient stratification and targeted therapy: Revisiting old concepts and exploring new possibilities.
J Stomatol Oral Maxillofac Surg
January 2025
Department of Pathology, School of Medical Sciences, Universidade Estadual de Campinas (UNICAMP), Campinas, São Paulo, Brazil. Electronic address:
Background: This review aimed to emphasize the implications of DNA content in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), focusing on its predictive value, role in patient stratification, and potential as a therapeutic target for this malignancy.
Methods: A narrative review of the literature was conducted through electronic database searches.
Results: In conventional HNSCC, aneuploid tumors are associated with increased lymph node metastasis, locoregional recurrences, poor response to radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and worse prognosis.
