Background: Previous research has found that compulsions in obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) are associated with an imbalance between goal-directed and habitual responses. However, the cognitive mechanisms underlying how goal-directed and habitual behaviors are learned, and how these learning deficits affect the response process, remain unclear. The present study aimed to investigate these cognitive mechanisms and examine how they were involved in the mechanism of compulsions.

To optimize patient outcomes, healthcare decisions should be based on the most up-to-date high-quality evidence. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) are vital for demonstrating the efficacy of interventions; however, information on how an intervention compares to already available treatments and/or fits into treatment algorithms is sometimes limited. Although different therapeutic classes are available for the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), assessing the relative efficacy of these treatments is challenging.

Objective: To devise a predictive model for estimating the requisite volume of the orbit in patients poised for resection of hyperostotic spheno-orbital meningiomas.
Material And Methods: The predictive regression model was conceived through the retrospective analysis of perioperative radiological data from 25 patients who initially underwent surgery at the Burdenko Neurosurgery Center for hyperostotic spheno-orbital meningiomas grade I. The model quality metrics were evaluated utilizing the performance library in the R programming language, including the Akaike Information Criterion, Bayesian Information Criterion, adjusted R-squared, Root Mean Squared Error, and Sigma.

Background: A significant proportion of individuals with symptoms of sexually transmitted infection (STI) delay or avoid seeking healthcare, and digital diagnostic tools may prompt them to seek healthcare earlier. Unfortunately, none of the currently available tools fully mimic clinical assessment or cover a wide range of STIs.
Methods: We prospectively invited attendees presenting with STI-related symptoms at Melbourne Sexual Health Centre to answer gender-specific questionnaires covering the symptoms of 12 common STIs using a computer-assisted self-interviewing system between 2015 and 2018.
