Reason to Expand the Contingency Management Workforce: Coaching-to-Criterion Results for Addiction Professionals and Peer Specialists.

Background: Given well-established efficacy of contingency management (CM), demand grows for effective implementation support. Coaching-to-criterion is a strategy for assuring workforce capability to deliver CM programming with fidelity. To what extent this preparative strategy is comparably useful for addiction professionals and peer specialists is unknown.

Differential olfactory dysfunction and nasal tissue pathology in Syrian hamsters infected with SARS-CoV-2 variants.

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2), the causative agent of the global coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, frequently induces olfactory dysfunction (OD), a symptom that significantly impacts patients' quality of life. Understanding the variability in OD and nasal tissue pathology across different SARS-CoV-2 variants may provide insights as to the mechanisms underlying this symptom and inform therapeutic strategies for COVID-19-related sequelae. This study examines the OD and associated nasal pathology in Syrian hamsters infected with SARS-CoV-2 variants, including Wuhan (WA-1), Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, and Omicron, at 5 days post-infection.

ICTV Virus Taxonomy Profile: 2025.

The realm includes viruses of archaea, bacteria and eukaryotes, with linear dsDNA genomes. Duplodnavirians share a distinct morphogenetic module of four hallmark genes encoding the HK97-fold major capsid protein, a genome packaging ATPase-nuclease (large terminase subunit), a portal protein and a capsid maturation protease. This is a summary of the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) Report on the realm , which is available at ictv.

Incidence and Predictors of Secondary Failure to Biologic Therapy in Patients with Psoriatic Arthritis.

Objective: Secondary failure to biologic DMARDs (bDMARDs) is challenging and contributes to the complexity of managing psoriatic arthritis (PsA). We aimed to define the frequency and incidence of this phenomenon in PsA and identify the risk factors for its occurrence.

Methods: We retrieved data on PsA patients from our single-centre, specialized-care, prospective observational cohort who initiated and remained on bDMARDs for ≥1 year after clinic enrollment between 2000 and 2023.
