Multivariate logistic regression analyses revealed that comorbidity, living alone, deterioration of breast cancer, and affected treatment plan were risk factors for psychological distress including depression, anxiety, and insomnia. When stratified by location, living alone was associated with depression and insomnia only among patients in Wuhan, but not those outside Wuhan. This study shows an elevated prevalence of depression, anxiety, and insomnia among patients with breast cancer during part of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Using a fidelity tool during interventions can substantially increase the likelihood of clients receiving the most scientifically rigorous treatment. This article outlines the steps taken to develop a fidelity checklist to measure treatment adherence of a two-part intervention delivered in a prison setting. Researchers followed the five-step guide by Feely et al. (Child and Adolescent Social Work Journal, 35(2), 139-152 2018) and describe the process of developing a fidelity tool to measure treatment adherence to a newly adapted CBT-based intervention designed to maximize uptake for participants with serious mental illnesses. Key decision points are discussed, along with final decisions and contextual considerations. A 26-item checklist was developed to measure treatment adherence related to process, content, and adaptations of the intervention. The checklist follows the silitators' ability to deploy the intervention precisely. Measuring fidelity is imperative for mental health interventions to ensure that the treatment is responsible for the changes observed in clients.Common factors are nonspecific therapeutic elements common across different varieties of psychotherapy. In a recent study, 68 expert psychotherapy researchers with a variety of allegiances collectively rated biofeedback as being negatively associated with many common factors (Tschacher et al. in Clin Psychol Psychother 21(1)82-96, 2014), including the therapeutic alliance. However, it seems implausible that biofeedback could benefit so many people while being incompatible with the therapeutic alliance and other common factors. The present study investigated the experiences of biofeedback clients who participated in a brief heart rate variability biofeedback protocol in order to explore the potential roles of common factors in biofeedback. The results of this study offer preliminary evidence that many common factors-including therapeutic alliance, self-efficacy expectation, mastery experiences, provision of explanatory scheme, mindfulness, and even cognitive restructuring-may play a role in biofeedback outcomes. Future research on this topic should include mediation and moderation models investigating the role of specific common factors on outcome and process studies to help determine what clinician behaviors are most helpful. Deeper investigation of common factors in biofeedback may benefit future biofeedback research and practice and address the concerns of colleagues outside of the biofeedback community who believe that biofeedback is at odds with common factors. In this study, we investigated in detail the transport of phenytoin across the blood-brain barrier (BBB) to identify the transporter(s) involved in BBB-mediated phenytoin efflux from the brain. We evaluated the brain-to-blood efflux transport of phenytoin in vivo by determining the brain efflux index (BEI) and uptake in brain slices. We additionally conducted brain perfusion experiments and BEI studies in P-glycoprotein (P-gp)-deficient mice. In addition, we determined the mRNA expression of monocarboxylate transporter (MCT) in isolated brain capillaries and performed phenytoin uptake studies in MCT-expressing Xenopus oocytes. [ C]Phenytoin brain efflux was time-dependent with a half-life of 17min in rats and 31min in mice. Intracerebral pre-administration of unlabeled phenytoin attenuated BBB-mediated phenytoin efflux transport, suggesting carrier-mediated phenytoin efflux transport across the BBB. Pre-administration of P-gp substrates in rats and genetic P-gp deficiency in mice did not affect BBB-mediated phenytoin efflux transport. In contrast, pre-administration of MCT8 inhibitors attenuated phenytoin efflux. Moreover, rat MCT8-expressing Xenopus oocytes exhibited [ C]phenytoin uptake, which was inhibited by unlabeled phenytoin. Our data suggest that MCT8 at the BBB participates in phenytoin efflux transport from the brain to the blood.Our data suggest that MCT8 at the BBB participates in phenytoin efflux transport from the brain to the blood.The term "Pavlovian" bias describes the phenomenon that learning to execute a response to obtain a reward or to inhibit a response to avoid punishment is much easier than learning the reverse. The present study investigated the interplay between this learning bias and individual levels of social anxiety. Since avoidance behavior is a hallmark feature of social anxiety and high levels of social anxiety have been associated with better learning from negative feedback, it is conceivable that the Pavlovian bias is altered in individuals with high social anxiety, with a strong tendency to avoid negative feedback, especially (but not only) in a nogo context. In addition, learning may be modulated by the individual propensity to learn from positive or negative feedback, which can be assessed as a trait-like feature. A sample of 84 healthy university students completed an orthogonalized go/nogo task that decoupled action type (go/nogo) and outcome valence (win/avoid) and a probabilistic selection task based upon which the individual propensity to learn from positive and negative feedback was determined.
