Background: Little data exist on remission rates following psychotherapy for body dysmorphic disorder (BDD).
Methods: Using data from a large study of therapist-delivered cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) versus supportive psychotherapy (SPT) for BDD (N = 120), we estimated remission rates at treatment endpoint, and rates of delayed remission, sustained remission, and recurrence at 6-month follow-up. We also examined improvement in broader mental health outcomes among remitters.
Results: Full or partial remission rates at end-of-treatment were significantly higher following CBT (68%) than SPT (42%). At 6-month follow-up, an additional 10% (CBT) and 14% (SPT) experienced delayed remission, 52% (CBT) and 27% (SPT) experienced sustained remission, and 20% (CBT) and 14% (SPT) experienced recurrence. Remission was never achieved by 18% (CBT) and 45% (SPT). Participants in remission at end-of-treatment experienced significant improvements in functional impairment, depression severity, BDD-related insight, and quality of life compared to nonremitters.
Conclusions: Full or partial remission rates are high following CBT for BDD and higher than after SPT.

Background: Mental health concerns have become increasingly prevalent; however, care remains inaccessible to many. While digital mental health interventions offer a promising solution, self-help and even coached apps have not fully addressed the challenge. There is now a growing interest in hybrid, or blended, care approaches that use apps as tools to augment, rather than to entirely guide, care.

Introduction: Adults with relapsed or refractory Philadelphia chromosome-positive B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (R/R Ph+ BCP-ALL) have a dismal outcome. Blinatumomab as a single agent has shown activity in R/R Ph- BCP-ALL, and second or third-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) can produce high remission rates in Ph+ leukaemias. We aimed to assess the activity of blinatumomab and TKI in combination with intensive chemotherapy in the relapsed or refractory setting.

Aim: To investigate the effect of weight loss and metabolic improvement after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) in older adults aged 65 years or over compared with younger adults in a retrospective analysis.
Methods: The J-SMART study database of 322 Japanese individuals with body mass index (BMI) ≥32 kg/m who underwent LSG between 2011 and 2014 at 10 centers accredited by the Japanese Society for Treatment of Obesity were analyzed. The subjects were classified into two groups: ≥65 age group (range, 65-76 years; n = 25) and <65 age group (range, 22-64 years; n = 297).

Background: Neoadjuvant therapy is preferentially recommended for resectable locally advanced esophageal malignancies, with patients who achieve pathological complete response (PCR) anticipated to have longer survival rates. The aim of this study was to compare 3-year follow-up data for patients with esophageal malignancy who achieved PCR through neoadjuvant chemotherapy (nCRT) and to compare the findings with those of neoadjuvant immunotherapy plus chemotherapy (nICT).
Methods: This retrospective study included 85 patients with esophageal cancer who underwent surgical resection following nCRT (n=47) or nICT (n=38) between January 1, 2016 and January 1, 2020 at Fujian Medical University Union Hospital and Gaozhou People's Hospital.

Objective: To analyze the impact of tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) maintenance therapy following allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) in patients with Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph + ALL) on recurrence rates and prognosis for the 2 transcripts, p190 and p210.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of clinical data from 58 patients diagnosed with Ph + ALL who underwent HSCT. All patients received TKI maintenance therapy following hematopoietic reconstruction post-transplantation.
