Aim: To report the feasibility of delivering and the effectiveness of brief Group Transdiagnostic Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (TCBT) via Zoom for anxiety and/or depression in primary care.
Methods: Participants were eligible for this open-label study if their primary care clinician recommended brief psychological intervention for clinically diagnosed anxiety and/or depression. Group TCBT included an individual assessment followed by four x 2-hour manualised therapy sessions. Primary outcome measures assessed recruitment, adherence to treatment and reliable recovery measured using the PHQ-9 and GAD-7.
Results: Twenty-two participants received TCBT over three groups. Recruitment and adherence to TCBT met feasibility thresholds for delivering group TCBT via Zoom. Improvements in the PHQ-9, GAD-7 and reliable recovery were present 3 and 6 months following treatment commencement.
Conclusion: Brief TCBT delivered using Zoom is a feasible treatment for anxiety and depression diagnosed in primary care. Definitive RCTs are required to provide confirmatory evidence of efficacy for brief group TCBT in this setting.

Immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) treatment has proven successful for advanced melanoma, but is associated with potentially severe toxicity and high costs. Accurate biomarkers for response are lacking. The present work is the first to investigate the value of deep learning on CT imaging of metastatic lesions for predicting ICI treatment outcomes in advanced melanoma.

Traditional methods for management of mental illnesses in the post-pandemic setting can be inaccessible for many individuals due to a multitude of reasons, including financial stresses and anxieties surrounding face-to-face interventions. The use of a point-of-care tool for self-management of stress levels and mental health status is the natural trajectory towards creating solutions for one of the primary contributors to the global burden of disease. Notably, cortisol is the main stress hormone and a key logical indicator of hypothalamic-pituitary adrenal (HPA) axis activity that governs the activation of the human stress system.

Fatigue is one of the most prevalent and disabling symptoms among patients with MS, but there is limited research investigating the longitudinal determinants of fatigue progression. This study aims to identify the sociodemographic, behavioral and clinical characteristics, and therapeutic regimens that are correlated with worsening fatigue over time in patients diagnosed with MS. This is a retrospective chart review of 483 patients.

The transition from secondary school to college or university is a well-known and well-studied risk period for weight and/or fat gain and not meeting the dietary recommendations. Higher education acts as a promising setting to implement nutrition interventions. An important condition for intervention success is that interventions are implemented as intended by the protocol and integrated in the institutional policy.
