This course will help psychologists-in-training begin to develop the knowledge, attitudes, and skills to provide leadership, clinical and consultation services, as well as program development and evaluation assistance in primary care settings. The “plug and play” structure of the course is designed to enable all graduate programs, even those who do not have faculty with direct primary care experience, offer training to students in this burgeoning area of integrated primary care. Each module includes PowerPoint lectures with faculty notes, student exercises, illustrative videos that are easily

Precision healthcare, also known as personalised medicine, is based on our understanding of the fundamental building blocks of biological systems, with the ultimate aim to clinically identify the best therapeutic strategy for each individual.

Recently, metabolomics, the quantitative measurement of small molecules, has emerged as a field to understand an individual’s molecular profile in terms of both genetics and enviro

Introduction: Family physicians provide access to medical and behavioral healthcare for many underserved populations. Integrating behavioral health clinicians into primary care practices has been proposed as one of the most effective ways to increase access to necessary behavioral health services for many Americans. Integrated behavioral healthcare (IBHC) has begun to be implemented in family medicine practices but there is limited research examining the impact for patients and clinic staff.

However, in situations where trauma patients are unable to be moved or are at risk of infection, there have been comparatively few advances.

Abstract Background Pain is the ubiquitous human experience, yet displays considerable inter- and intraindividual variability in health and disease. Many factors have been proposed to account for these differences. Pain activates a complex stress response, multiply determined through genetic, psychological, physiological and neuroanatomical factors. Chronic pain is a central defining characteristic of functional gastrointestinal disorders. They represent a major challenge for modern health care. An integrated understanding of the pathophysiology of these disorders remains to be elucidated. Aim

Abstract:

Skeletal muscle plays a central role in maintaining metabolic homeostasis in health and disease. An important metabolic component of muscle is the integrated metabolism of glucose and glucocorticoids (GCs) in the lumen of the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR). Glucose-6-phosphate (G6P) transported into the SR by the G6P transporter (G6PT) is metabolised by hexose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (H6PDH) to produce nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate reduced (NADPH) cofactor that is utilised by 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11β-HSD1) to reduce inactive GCs to their active forms.
