The doctor-patient relationship in China has become increasingly tense, with patients lacking trust in doctors. Meanwhile, online healthcare flourished, accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic. This study utilized the direct and indirect pathway model of clinician-patient communication to health outcomes and online trust theory to examine the associations between online patient-centered communication (OPCC), benevolence and ability trust in doctors, negative online health information seeking experiences, and willingness to recommend doctors. The findings revealed that benevolence and ability trust mediated the relationship between OPCC and willingness to recommend doctors. Additionally, when participants had a high level of negative online health information seeking experiences, OPCC had a stronger effect on ability trust; meanwhile, the mediation effect of ability trust between the relationship of OPCC and willingness to recommend was stronger. This study also discussed theoretical and practical implications.

This study sheds light on how journalists respond to evolving debates within academia around topics including research integrity, improper use of metrics to measure research quality and impact, and the risks and benefits of the open science movement. It does so through a codebook thematic analysis of semi-structured interviews with 19 health and science journalists from the Global North. We find that journalists' perceptions of these academic controversies vary widely, with some displaying a highly critical and nuanced understanding and others presenting a more limited awareness.

Introduction: Using non-medicinal oral contrast agents may aid safe delivery of magnetic resonance image-guided (MR-guided) radiotherapy by improving the ability to visualise and avoid excessive radiation dose to adjacent bowel/stomach. This scoping review aims to map the literature on non-medicinal oral contrasts used in upper-abdominal diagnostic or therapeutic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to find potential candidates for employing in MR-guided radiotherapy and identify gaps in knowledge for further study.

Methods: A scoping review of non-medicinal oral contrast used in upper-abdominal MRI research followed a pre-defined protocol based on Arksey and O'Malley's framework.

Background: The renin angiotensin system (RAS) is implicated in various cognitive processes relevant to anxiety. However, the role of the RAS in pattern separation, a hippocampal memory mechanism that enables discrete encoding of similar stimuli, is unclear. Given the proposed role of this mechanism in overgeneralization and the maintenance of anxiety, we explored the influence of the RAS on mnemonic discrimination i.
