This contribution highlights novel developments and innovations in psychological psychotherapy for patients with obesity. It underscores the importance of an interdisciplinary approach to treatment, which incorporates not only traditional methods but also contemporary psychotherapeutic modalities such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Current research suggests that assessing the effectiveness of psychotherapy should not solely rely on changes in weight, but should also consider other outcomes such as subjective quality of life and mental health. Furthermore, the role of telemedicine and blended psychotherapy is emphasized as promising approaches to enhance accessibility and effectiveness of treatment. Through a case study of a 55-year-old woman with obesity and psychiatric comorbidities, the effectiveness of a multimodal psychotherapeutic approach is demonstrated.

Living with acuteness in chronic illness: The temporal underpinnings of endometriosis.
Med Anthropol Q
December 2024
Helsinki Collegium for Advanced Studies, University of Helsinki, Helsinki, Finland.
This article explores how acuteness is experienced by people with endometriosis in Finland. Drawing on in-depth interviews as well as anonymous written endometriosis stories, we trace instances when the sense of chronicity and cyclicality of endometriosis is disrupted by a possibility of risk to life. These instances include when endometriosis tissue grows in unanticipated and aggressive ways, when medical interventions lead to unexpected complications or medications raise concerns about a gradually developing risk, and when endometriosis diagnosis becomes a catch-all category that could mask the onset of a life-threatening condition.

Parent-led cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is an efficient, promising form of therapy that may be well suited for autistic youth with anxiety disorders. A recent clinical trial found that parent-led CBT - in which parents led their child through a guided CBT workbook with varying degrees of therapist support - was efficacious for reducing anxiety and associated functional impairment. While such findings demonstrate promise for future intervention development and dissemination efforts with this population, more work is needed to elucidate clinical factors that impact response to treatment as well as drop-out.

Campylobacter jejuni, a major cause of foodborne zoonotic infections worldwide, shows a paradoxical ability to survive despite its susceptibility to environmental and food-processing stressors. This resilience is likely due to the bacterium entering a viable but non-culturable state, often within biofilms, or even initiating biofilm formation as a survival strategy. This study presents an innovative application of NanoLuc bioluminescence to accurately monitor the development of C.
