Objective: Long-term weight loss is important and difficult to achieve for many women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Lifestyle interventions (LS) in PCOS have shown moderate short-term effects. Three-component LS that combine nutrition advice, exercise, and cognitive behavioral therapy have not been tested in long-term interventions.
Methods: Women (N = 183) with PCOS who were trying to conceive and had BMI > 25 kg/m were assigned to 20 group sessions of cognitive behavioral therapy combined with nutrition advice and exercise (LS with or without Short Message Service [SMS] via mobile phone) or care as usual (CAU).
Results: More weight loss was observed in LS than in CAU (P < 0.001). Adding SMS was even more effective (P = 0.017). In CAU, 13 of 60 (21.8%) succeeded in achieving a 5% weight loss, as did 32 of 60 (52.8%) in LS without SMS and 54 of 63 (85.7%) in LS with SMS. The odds of achieving a 5% weight loss were 7.0 (P < 0.001) in LS compared with CAU. More than 18 of 60 (29.0%) of the women in CAU gained weight versus 5 of 60 (8.5%) and 2 of 63 (3.1%) in LS without or with SMS, respectively. The overall dropout rate was 116 of 183 (63.4%).
Conclusions: A three-component LS program resulted in reasonable weight loss in women with PCOS. Adding SMS resulted in more weight loss.

Emotion processing is an integral part of everyone's life. The basic neural circuits involved in emotion perception are becoming clear, though the emotion's cognitive processing remains under investigation. Utilizing the stereo-electroencephalograph with high temporal-spatial resolution, this study aims to decipher the neural pathway responsible for discriminating low-arousal and high-arousal emotions.

The Psychiatric Consultation Service at Massachusetts General Hospital sees medical and surgical inpatients with comorbid psychiatric symptoms and conditions. During their twice-weekly rounds, Dr Stern and other members of the Consultation Service discuss diagnosis and management of hospitalized patients with complex medical or surgical problems who also demonstrate psychiatric symptoms or conditions. These discussions have given rise to rounds reports that will prove useful for clinicians practicing at the interface of medicine and psychiatry.

Background: Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) affects 3.9% of the general population. While massed cognitive processing therapy (CPT) has demonstrated efficacy in treating chronic PTSD, a substantial proportion of patients still continue to meet PTSD criteria after treatment, highlighting the need for novel therapeutic approaches.

Background: The rising prevalence of depression among cancer patients is alarming. This study examines the relationship between the Oxidative Balance Score (OBS)-a composite measure of dietary and lifestyle factors-and depression, including specific depressive symptoms in this population.
Methods: Data were analyzed from 3,280 adult cancer patients collected in NHANES from 2005-2020.

In this study, we explored the biocultural mechanisms underlying ancient craft behaviours. Archaeological methods were integrated with neuroscience techniques to explore the impact on neuroplasticity resulting from the introduction of early pottery techniques. The advent of ceramic marked a profound change in the economy and socio-cultural dynamics of past societies.
