Dialectical behavioural therapy (DBT) has become the gold standard in the treatment of patients with borderline personality disorder. This therapy includes the combination of stance and techniques, which are characterized by the dialectic of acceptance and change. In the meantime, this method has also been successfully applied to other psychiatric disorders. In the case of anorexia nervosa - a disorder with a tendency to chronification and a considerably increased mortality risk - the work on treatment motivation increases. Traditional concepts in clinics are increasingly being questioned and tested for their suitability for everyday use. Here, DBT offers a set of tools with which positive experiences of effectiveness have already been made in some clinics. Evidence based on randomized controlled trials is still lacking. In this article, the basic principles of DBT treatment for adolescent patients with anorexia nervosa are explained and experiences with the treatment concept are reported.

Purpose: Treatment strategies for space-occupying/symptomatic pineal cysts (PC) are still up for debate. In this study we present PC management, outcome data and risk factors for recurrence after surgery, focusing on microscopic/endoscopic procedures vs. stereotactic catheter implantation as alternative treatment concept to permanently drain PC into ventricles/cisterns.

Developmental functional brain network abnormalities in autism spectrum disorder comorbid with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.

Eur J Pediatr

January 2025

Department of Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics, Children's Medical Center, The First Hospital of Jilin University, Jilin University, Changchun, China.

Unlabelled: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) often co-occur. Developmental stages significantly influence the variations in brain alterations. However, whether ASD comorbid with ADHD (ASD + ADHD) represents a unique neural characteristic from ASD without comorbid ADHD (ASD-alone), or instead manifests a shared neural correlate associated with ASD across diverse age cohorts remain unclear.

Purpose: This study aims to propose a classification system to more accurately understand the features and nature of different CPs, to investigate the correlation between different topographies of CPs and their surgical outcomes.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 91 surgically resected CPs. They were categorized into six types based on their location and origin.

Purpose: To investigate the anatomical variations and measure the distances between surgically relevant structures in the maxilla associated with Le Fort I osteotomy in patients with maxillary canting using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT).

Methods: CBCT scans of 63 patients (21 males and 42 females) with maxillary canting who were indicated for orthognathic surgical planning were retrospectively investigated and analyzed. The distances of the relevant anatomical structures, including the descending palatine artery, pterygomaxillary junction, infraorbital foramen, and nasolacrimal duct opening, were measured with the key anatomical landmarks to evaluate their variations.

Biomarker microRNA-371a-3p - expression in malignancies other than germ-cell tumours.

J Cancer Res Clin Oncol

January 2025

Department of Urology, Asklepios Tumorzentrum Hamburg, AK Altona, Hamburg, Germany.

Purpose: microRNA-371a-3p (M371) is considered a highly sensitive and specific serum biomarker of testicular germ cell tumours (GCTs). However, little is known about the expression of M371 in nontesticular malignancies (NTMs), so far. As knowledge about the expression of the marker in other malignancies is a prerequisite for the clinical application of the test we aimed to explore the M371 expression in other cancers.
