Article Abstract
Background: Studies assessing personality dimensions by the "Temperament and Character Inventory" (TCI) have previously found an association between Parkinson's disease (PD) and lower Novelty Seeking and higher Harm Avoidance scores. Here, we aimed to describe personality dimensions of PD patients with motor fluctuations and compare them to a normative population and other PD populations.
Methods: All PD patients awaiting Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) answered the TCI before neurosurgery. Their results were compared to those of historical cohorts (a French normative population, a de novo PD population, and a PD population with motor fluctuations).
Results: Most personality dimensions of our 333 included PD patients with motor fluctuations who are candidates for DBS were different from those of the normative population and some were also different from those of the De Novo PD population, whereas they were similar to those of another population of PD patients with motor fluctuations.
Conclusions: During the course of PD, personality dimensions can change in parallel with the development of motor fluctuations, either due to the evolution of the disease and/or dopaminergic treatments.

Voxel Volume Overlap: Voxel-Size Sensitive Indicators of Subject Motion in Functional MRI.
Hum Brain Mapp

Subject motion is a significant problem for the analysis of functional MRI data and is usually described by "total displacement" or "scan-to-scan displacement". Neither parameter, however, takes into account voxel size, which clearly is relevant for the actual effects of motion on the data. Consequently, it is hitherto impossible to compare motion between subjects/studies acquired using different voxel dimensions, precluding the development of generally applicable recommendations for fMRI quality control procedures.

Department of Nursing, University of Seville, Seville, Spain.
Background: The nurse-patient relationship is central to quality nursing care, yet its impact remains difficult to quantify. While existing models assess caring competencies from the perspective of nursing students and professionals, there is a lack of validated instruments incorporating direct patient feedback.
Objective: This study aimed to develop and validate the Nursing Interaction in Caring_Competence Assessment-Patient (NIC_CA-Patient) tool, a patient-centred instrument designed to measure caring interaction in nursing practice and establish a predictive model of its development from the patient's perspective.
Health literacy in patients with inborn errors of immunity.
Allergol Immunopathol (Madr)
September 2025
Division of Immunology and Allergy, Department of Internal Medicine, Ankara University School of Medicine, Ankara, Turkey;
Background And Objectives: Health literacy (HL) is essential for managing chronic conditions such as inborn errors of immunity (IEI). Limited HL may lead to poor clinical outcomes and inefficient healthcare use; however, HL among IEI patients remains underexplored. The aim of this study was to evaluate HL levels in adult IEI patients using the Turkish Health Literacy Scale (TSOY-32) and to identify associated sociodemographic factors.

Lipid nanocapsules (LNCs) are an emerging nanocarrier platform for cancer therapy as they can co-deliver multiple drugs, promote synergistic action, and provide targeted drug delivery. The phase inversion temperature (PIT) process is most used for LNC formulation, which has the advantage of process simplicity, thermodynamic stability, and the employment of non-toxic solvents without requiring high energy input. Surface functionalization with targeting ligands like folic acid and peptides increases tumor specificity and reduces off-target toxicity.

Background: Guided internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy (ICBT) provides an accessible alternative treatment for anorexia nervosa (AN), showing initial feasibility and effectiveness in the short term. However, limited research has explored its long-term outcomes in outpatient settings.
Objective: This study investigated the long-term outcomes and cost-effectiveness of guided ICBT in women with AN who were receiving outpatient treatment.
