The interplay of coping styles and optimism/pessimism in shaping mental health in long-term survivors of malignant melanoma: a register-based cohort study by Judith Hirschmiller, Tamara Schwinn, Sabine Fischbeck, Ana Nanette Tibubos, Jörg Wiltink, Rüdiger Zwerenz, Sylke R. Zeissig, Elmar Brähler, Manfred E. Beutel, Mareike Ernst

“…We assessed sociodemographic and disease-related variables, optimism/pessimism (LOT-R), coping strategies (BC), depressive (PHQ-9), and anxiety symptoms (GAD-7). A structural equation model was conducted to analyse the hypothesized associations, modelling coping strategies (denial/self-blame, seeking external support, active coping) as mediators of the relationship of optimism/pessimism with depressive and anxiety symptoms. …”

Comparison of the Metabolic Profiles Associated with Protonitazene and Protonitazepyne in Two Severe Poisonings by Romain Magny, Thomas Schiestel, Aymen M’Rad, Bertrand Lefrère, Jean-Herlé Raphalen, Stanislas Ledochowski, Laurence Labat, Bruno Mégarbane, Pascal Houzé

“…<b>Concusions</b>: To conclude, nitazene detection is highly challenging due to its extensive structural and metabolic diversity. Our findings highlight the contribution of the untargeted LC-HRMS screening approach and suggest that diagnostic product ions can serve as robust markers for nitazene identification.…”

Teacher perspectives on the socio-ecological barriers and enablers to food and nutrition education in primary schools: a scoping review by Emma K Esdaile, Lee Wharton, Helen Vidgen, Danielle Gallegos

“…These were (i) perceived food and nutrition responsibilities of teachers, (ii) teacher beliefs and self-efficacy, (iii) opportunities to build teacher nutrition knowledge and self-efficacy, (iv) interpersonal contributors and (v) broader environmental, structural and policy contributors. Conclusions: Multiple strategies are needed to build the capacity of teachers to undertake FNE within primary school settings. …”
