The relationship between patients' characteristics and dentists' perceptions as well as the associations between these dimensions and specific dentist behaviors as perceived by patients are explored. Dentist perceptions of patient sophistication and anxiety were related to several patient characteristics, but perceptions of patient likability were unrelated to patient personal and social characteristics. Perceptions of patient likability were associated with more specific dentist behaviors than were other dentist perceptions noted by patients. The results suggest that dentists' views are influenced primarily by those patient characteristics manifested during treatment. In general, dentists like patients who are dentally sophisticated and not anxious.

Self-regulation in eHealth: definition, contributing factors, and experiences from blended rehabilitation care.
Disabil Rehabil
January 2025
Biomedical Signals and Systems, Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science, University of Twente, Enschede, Netherlands.
Purpose: eHealth might contribute to changes in roles and responsibilities of patients and healthcare professionals (HCPs), including the patient's potential to enhance self-regulation. The aim of this study was to identify important aspects and experiences of self-regulation and factors that may support self-regulation in blended rehabilitation care.
Materials And Methods: Semi-structured interviews were conducted among HCPs and patients regarding perceptions and experiences with self-regulation in relation to a telerehabilitation portal.
Neural Correlates of Social Touch Processing: An fMRI Study on Brain Functional Connectivity.
J Integr Neurosci
January 2025
Laboratory for the Study of Tactile Communication, Pushkin State Russian Language Institute, 117485 Moscow, Russia.
Background: The significance of tactile stimulation in human social development and personal interaction is well documented; however, the underlying cerebral processes remain under-researched. This study employed functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to investigate the neural correlates of social touch processing, with a particular focus on the functional connectivity associated with the aftereffects of touch.
Methods: A total of 27 experimental subjects were recruited for the study, all of whom underwent a 5-minute calf and foot massage prior to undergoing resting-state fMRI.
Neural Correlates of Social Perception Deficit in Schizophrenia: An Event-related Potential Study.
J Integr Neurosci
January 2025
Department of Psychology, The Affiliated Hospital of Jiangnan University, 214151 Wuxi, Jiangsu, China.
Background: Deficits in emotion recognition have been shown to be closely related to social-cognitive functioning in schizophrenic. This study aimed to investigate the event-related potential (ERP) characteristics of social perception in schizophrenia patients and to explore the neural mechanisms underlying these abnormal cognitive processes related to social perception.
Methods: Participants included 33 schizophrenia patients and 35 healthy controls (HCs).
Viral Hepatitis B and Its Implications for Public Health in DR Congo: A Systematic Review.
Viruses
December 2024
World Health Organization (WHO) Country Office, Kinshasa 01206, Democratic Republic of the Congo.
The prevalence of hepatitis B virus infection remains high in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), constituting a public health problem in view of the fatal complications it causes, notably cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. The aim of this study was to provide an overview of the situation of viral hepatitis B in the DRC and in particular its implications for public health. A systematic review was conducted according to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) group guidelines.

Nutrients
January 2025
Department of Nutrition and Dietetics Sciences, Hellenic Mediterranean University (HMU), Trypitos Area, 72300 Sitia, Greece.
Background/objectives: A reliable assessment of gluten-free diet (GFD) adherence is essential for managing celiac disease (CD). This study aimed to validate the Hellenic version of the Celiac Disease Adherence Test (H-CDAT) to evaluate adherence levels and explore the impact of dietary adherence on health-related quality of life (HRQoL)-both of which have never been objectively assessed in Greek CD patients.
Methods: The study included 102 adult CD patients who completed H-CDAT, diet-related questions, and the 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36).
