The Contribution of Therapist Effects to Patient Dropout and Deterioration in the Psychological Therapies [PDF]

Clinical Psychology & Psychotherapy, 2016
BackgroundIn the psychological therapies, patient outcomes are not always positive. Some patients leave therapy prematurely (dropout), while others experience deterioration in their psychological well‐being.MethodsThe sample for dropout comprised patients (n = 10 521) seen by 85 therapists, who attended at least the initial session of one‐to‐one ...

Remote Magnetomechanical Neuromodulation Uncovers Therapeutic Mechanisms for Alleviating Parkinsonian Symptoms in Freely Moving Mice

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Magnetomechanical neuromodulation using magnetic nanodiscs enables remote activation of neurons. In a hemiparkinsonian mouse model, alternating magnetic fields actuate the nanodiscs to generate torque that opens mechanosensitive ion channels within the subthalamic nucleus, thereby modulating basal ganglia motor circuitry.

Community Adjustment of Chronic Psychiatric Patients: Dropouts vs. Non-Dropouts

, 1987
This study examined the chronic psychiatric patients who were referred to Fountain House for psychosocial rehabilitation. Differences between the dropouts vs. the non-dropouts were tested. Applying a longitudinal design and using discriminant analysis, it was found that 70% of patients dropout over a period of six months; and that patients' personal ...

Accurately Deciphering Tissue Heterogeneity From Spatial Multi‐Modal and Multi‐Omics With STransformer

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
STransformer is a unified deep learning framework designed to seamlessly accommodate a comprehensive landscape of spatial data. By simultaneously capturing short‐range cellular interactions and tissue‐wide semantic patterns, it extracts robust representations to accurately dissect complex tissue heterogeneity.

Ovarian Cancer Diagnosis and Chemoresistance Prediction Model Based on cfRNA Molecular Signature

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A deep learning model analyzes cfRNA profiles extracted from the blood of OVCA patients. This innovative approach distinguishes OVCA from healthy controls with high accuracy. Crucially, it reliably predicts patient response to chemotherapy (sensitive versus resistant subgroups).

Matrix Stiffness Induces Endothelial Network Senescence

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Using a 3D human in vitro model that decouples mechanical stress from inflammatory or biochemical signals, matrix stiffening induces a senescence phenotype in endothelial networks. This mechano‐induced senescence activates Notch signaling, and pharmacologic Notch inhibition attenuates this stiffness‐induced senescence.
