Cognitive mechanisms of mindfulness-based pain management in chronic pain by Emily Mohr, Sophie Matthew, Lipika Narisetti, Colin Duff, Poppy Schoenberg

“…Since aberrations in cognitive executive functioning are apparent in chronic pain and corroborate with higher pain severity and poorer clinical outcomes, we conducted a two-part mechanistic clinical study that aimed to examine; (1) cognitive performance deficits measured during neurophysiology tasks, in chronic pain patients versus healthy controls; and (2) a mechanistic trial into whether Mindfulness-Based Pain Management/MBPM modulates cognitive functioning, and its interplay with clinical symptoms, in chronic pain patients versus a treatment-as-usual/TAU matched patient control. …”

Value sets and the problem of redundancy in value set repositories. by Sigfried Gold, Harold P Lehmann, Lisa M Schilling, Wayne G Lutters

“…<h4>Results</h4>Qualitative analysis of our study data, the relevant literature, and our own professional experience led us to three dichotomous concepts that frame an understanding of diverse practices and perspectives surrounding value set development: Permissible values versus analytic value sets;Prescriptive versus descriptive approaches to controlled medical vocabulary use; andSemantic and empirical types of value set development and evaluation practices and the data they rely on.This three-fold framework opens up the redundancy problem, explaining why multiple value sets may or may not be needed and advancing academic understanding of value set development.…”

Investigating the influence of antenatal education on birth beliefs and delivery methods: a prospective cohort study from Turkey by Sadun Sucu, Serap Topkara Sucu, Çağanay Soysal

“…The primary outcome of the study was that the rate of patients requesting cesarean section during labor because they could not deliver vaginally or could not tolerate the pain during labor was higher in the control group (47.2% versus 73.4%; p = 0.009). There was a statistically significant difference in the indication for cesarean section in both groups and the rate of labor arrest was higher in the control group (8.3% versus 26.6%; p = 0.043). …”

Probiotic potential of Phocaeicola coprocola in modulating learning and memory behaviors in the honeybee model by Mengqi Xu, Mengqi Xu, Xiaohan Zhang, Xiaohan Zhang, Xi Luo, Guanzhou Zhou, Guanzhou Zhou, Nana Zhang, Xiaoyan Chi, Xiaoyan Chi, Rongrong Ren, Lihua Peng, Gang Sun, Yunsheng Yang, Yunsheng Yang

“…Gut microbial composition was analyzed using full-length 16S rRNA gene sequencing based on PacBio SMRT technology, and metabolic profiling was conducted using untargeted LC–MS/MS analysis.ResultsP. coprocola supplementation significantly improved cognitive performance, with learning success rates of 74.13% in the treatment group versus 50.85% in controls (p = 0.0093). This intervention also led to increased gut diversity (Shannon index, p = 0.0079). …”
