An Exploration of the Experiences of Group Compassion Focused Therapy for Hospital Outpatients with Long-Term Mental Health Difficulties

Received: 07 April 2025;  Published: 12 January 2026;  doi: 10.21926/obm.icm.2601005

Abstract

There is now good evidence for the efficacy of Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) for a variety of mental health difficulties. To deepen understanding of the processes underpinning CFT’s effectiveness, this service evaluation explored the experiences and reflections of individuals with long-term mental health difficulties who had previously received therapy and attended an 11-week CFT group. Ten clients were invited to the group; one withdrew before the group started because of work and personal commitments and anoth [...]

Evaluation of the Transitional Pain Service Specialized Iyengar-Informed Yoga Program for Chronic Post-Surgical Pain: A Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial

Received: 29 April 2025;  Published: 30 September 2025;  doi: 10.21926/obm.icm.2503041

Abstract

The objective of this randomized controlled trial (RCT) was to evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of a specialized Iyengar-informed yoga intervention for individuals who experience chronic post-surgical pain (CPSP). This prospective, multi-wave pilot RCT was pre-registered at clinicaltrials.gov (NCT03460028) and designed in accordance with the 2010 CONSORT statement. Participants (N = 21) with CPSP were out-patients or community members affiliated with a Toronto hospital. Participants were randomized to an 8-wee [...]

Deep Learning Approaches for Predicting Strain Energy in Heterogeneous Materials

Received: 15 July 2025;  Published: 24 October 2025;  doi: 10.21926/rpm.2504016

Abstract

This paper investigates data-driven strain energy prediction for heterogeneous elastic materials using the Mechanical MNIST benchmark dataset (60,000 28 × 28 stiffness maps by precomputed finite-element results). The results by classical regression models (linear regression, random forest, and gradient boosting) using hand-crafted features were compared with the results by the deep learning models (Convolutional neural network (CNN) and residual network (ResNet)) trained end-to-end on images. In held-out tests, CNN [...]

The Effect of Adding Mealworm, Probiotics, and Mealworm Plus Probiotics on IL-8 Gene Expression in Liver and Spleen Tissues of Broiler Chickens

Received: 30 July 2025;  Published: 30 October 2025;  doi: 10.21926/obm.genet.2504315

Abstract

Interleukin-8 (IL-8), a pro-inflammatory cytokine, plays a critical role in immune modulation in poultry and has potential applications in veterinary and human medicine. This study investigated the effects of dietary supplementation with mealworm (Tenebrio molitor), probiotics, or their combination on IL-8 gene expression in the livers and spleens of broiler chickens. A total of 160 one-day-old broiler chickens (Ross 308 strain) were assigned to four treatments (basal diet, basal diet + 0.2 g/kg probiotic, basal di [...]

Network Topology Similarities Across Cancer Types: Identifying Central Protein Hubs for Drug Discovery

Received: 18 June 2025;  Published: 13 October 2025;  doi: 10.21926/obm.genet.2504312

Abstract

A molecular-level understanding of cancer is essential for the development of effective therapies. Constructing protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks offers a valuable approach to identifying dysregulated driver genes and potential therapeutic targets. In this study, we modeled cancer PPI networks as metric spaces and applied mathematical and computational algorithms to analyze their structural and functional properties. Our findings reveal that these networks share a conserved architecture across different ca [...]

Fabrication of CuO-Decorated Fe2O3 Nanoparticles as Efficient and Durable Electrocatalyst for Oxygen Evolution Reaction

Received: 09 August 2025;  Published: 07 November 2025;  doi: 10.21926/cr.2504009

Abstract

The electrochemical water oxidation application of CuO@Fe2O3 materials as potential catalysts is being reported for the first time. A series of CuO@Fe2O3 with different molar ratios of CuO (5, 7, 10, 12, and 15%) was fabricated through precipitation followed by the impregnation method. Structural and electrochemical studies were carried out by using different analytical platforms, including X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Energy dispersive [...]
