Behavior therapy for nonsuicidal self-injury
No full textThe primary aim of this chapter is to examine nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) from a modern behavioral perspective, influenced by a prominent behavioral theory that considers negative emotions as the primary proximal cause of NSSI. First, we briefly define what we mean by modern behaviorism. Second, we outline our theoretical petspective and review behavioral domains that we consider important when conducting a functional analysis of NSSI, including (a) biological, establishing, and stimulus control operations; (b) consequential operations; (c) a special form of consequential operation—self-punishment; and (d) rule-governed operations. Next, we review interventions that have been used to treat NSSI, focusing primarily on dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) because it is the only behavioral treatment with empirical support. Finally, we outline the hypothesized mechanisms of change unique to DBT. We do not attempt to discuss all potential mechanisms that could be associated with change in patient outcomes, nor do we believe it is possible to do so at this stage of treatment development. Instead, we focus on hypothesized mechanisms that we believe to be particularly salient in the treatment of NSSI

A Clinical Audit of a Lynch Syndrome referral protocol
No full textApproximately 14% of patients with colorectal cancer have tumours that exhibit a deficiency in mismatch repair (MMR) genes, of which 3% have Lynch syndrome where the mutations have germline origin. Lynch syndrome is associated with significant lifetime cancer risks, so early diagnosis is required to optimise outcomes (Vasen et al 2015). Previously family history assessment was used to identify individuals with Lynch syndrome, but a significant proportion were not identified due to familial heterogeneity.; therefore routine MMR immunohistochemistry testing of resected tumours (from patients with primary colorectal cancer aged 18 to 70 years old) has been practiced at a local NHS Trust since 2012. The primary aim of this testing was to inform treatment decision making, since the use of adjuvant chemotherapy is not beneficial in treating MMR deficient tumours. As a result of this testing, individuals with Lynch syndrome have been identified. Previous data suggests that only a small propo
