3D bioprinting: a review and potential applications for Mohs micrographic surgery
AbstractMohs Micrographic Surgery (MMS) is effective for treating common cutaneous malignancies, but complex repairs may often present challenges for reconstruction. This paper explores the potential of three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting in MMS, offering superior outcomes compared to traditional methods. 3D printing technologies show promise in advancing skin regeneration and refining surgical techniques in dermatologic surgery. A PubMed search was conducted using the following keywords: “Three-dimensional bioprinting” OR “3-D printing” AND “Mohs” OR “Mohs surgery” OR “Surgery.” Peer-reviewed English ar...

Parental psychological control and depression, anxiety among adolescents: The mediating role of bedtime procrastination and moderating role of neuroticism
Studies have shown that maladaptive parenting styles, particularly parental psychological control may be an important risk factor for emotional problems in adolescence. However, the potential mechanisms behind this association are still not fully understood. To fill the research gap, this study investigated the relationship between parental psychological control and depression and anxiety among adolescents. It also explored the mediating effect of bedtime procrastination and the moderating effect of neuroticism through a moderated mediation analysis. (Source: Archives of Psychiatric Nursing)

Development and initial validation of an open-access online Behavioral Avoidance Test (BAT) for spider fear.
Psychological Assessment, Vol 36(5), May 2024, 351-364; doi:10.1037/pas0001305The behavioral avoidance test (BAT) is a well-known diagnostic tool assessing fear by directly measuring avoidance behavior. For instance, in spider phobia, participants or patients gradually approach a live spider until they feel too uncomfortable to continue. However, the use of different BAT protocols in various studies hampers the comparability of results. Moreover, conducting the test requires considerable preparation by researchers and clinicians. Thus, we have developed an open-access online BAT (vBATon). We validated its efficacy in measu...

Cardiac Sympathetic Denervation and Anxiety in Parkinson Disease
Anxiety in Parkinson disease (PD) negatively impacts quality of life. While research predominantly focuses on central nervous system changes, some evidence suggests a connection between peripheral autonomic dysfunctions and PD-related anxiety. The role of the peripheral autonomic nervous system in this context may be overlooked. (Source: Parkinsonism and Related Disorders)
