The effect of behavioral rehearsal in the training of clinical psychology students in cognitive therapy for social anxiety disorder: A randomized controlled trial.

Objective: The present study investigated the effects of including behavioural rehearsal (i.e., expert demonstration followed by role-playing treatment components) in the training of clinical psychology students in cognitive therapy for social anxiety disorder.

Assessing the global variation in patient characteristics, management and short-term outcomes of spontaneous intracranial haemorrhage worldwide: a protocol for a global observational prospective multicentre study (the PLOT-ICH study).

Introduction: Stroke is the second leading cause of death worldwide, with the greatest burden in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Haemorrhagic stroke or spontaneous intracranial haemorrhage (sICH), including intraparenchymal haemorrhage (IPH) and subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH), has the highest mortality and morbidity. Local management practices for haemorrhagic stroke vary greatly between geographical regions.

Associative synaptic plasticity creates dynamic persistent activity.

In biological neural circuits, the dynamics of neurons and synapses are tightly coupled. We study the consequences of this coupling and show that it enables a novel form of working memory. In recurrent neural network models with ongoing Hebbian plasticity, we find that, following oscillatory stimulation, neurons continue to oscillate long after the input is removed.

Coach-Supported Internet-Based Cognitive Therapy for Social Anxiety Disorder in Hong Kong: Development, Training, and Pilot Clinical Outcomes.

Internet-based Cognitive Therapy for Social Anxiety Disorder (iCT-SAD), a treatment that is normally supported by therapists, has been modified for delivery by trained coaches without mental health practitioner qualifications and has shown promising efficacy for patients in Hong Kong.

Radial versus femoral access for percutaneous coronary intervention in patients with chronic coronary disease.

Guidelines recommend trans-radial access (TRA) for all percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). However, no randomized trials have shown a lower mortality when compared to the femoral approach in chronic coronary disease and femoral access may be preferred in certain situations. Consecutive eligible patients in a multicentre registry between 2014 - 2020 were included.
