Objective: The Assimilation of Problematic Experiences Scale (APES) to code the client’, s responses and the Process Focused Conversation Analysis (PFCA) to code the therapist’, s responses were applied to transcripts of a successful case of integrative psychotherapy of depression. Methods: The method used for the present research was a case study. Dialogues (150 conversations between therapist-client on the basis of meaning) between a therapist and a client in one case with a good outcome were coded and analyzed by two different systems of APES and PFCA. Results: The data revealed that combining the results of APES and PFCA is a suitable coding system for drawing a client’, s change equation. In a pyramid of therapeutic change, questions, skills, and techniques applied by the therapist are located in the base, center, and high level, respectively. Meanwhile, higher APES levels are located at the top of the pyramid. The efficient intervention has to be delineated on the spot and is appropriate for a situation in which the client is at one particular moment. Case improvement has demonstrated that at high levels of APES, level 4 is the critical one. Conclusion: Setbacks and stagnations are common within psychotherapy and are generally affected by the main topic of the therapeutic conversation.

Since years bygone, the brain had been the focus of considerable debate and controversy and the fears of declaring death had always been a dilemma. For a long time, this presumption prevailed that the only subtle sign of death was putrefaction and rigor mortis (2). In the presence of cardiac activity, the permanent loss of cerebral function, manifested clinically by the absence of purposeful responsiveness to external stimuli, cephalic reflexes, apnea, and an isoelectic electroencephalogram for at least 30 minutes in the absence of hypothermia and poisoning by central nervous system depressants indicate cerebral death. The ABR test can be an indicator of preserved brainstem function in difficult clinical situations and has been utilized in brain-dead patients (3,4). Absence of ABR waves II through V despite a normal wave I indicates a significant lack of function in brain stem auditory tracts. This clinical trial was conducted on 62 male (30-75 years)who were in comatosed state. The ABR were clear and reproducible in comatosed patients in whom brain death was not documented, whereas these responses were not recordable in brain dead-patients.The latter finding was confirmed using preclinical monitors such as EEG, Cerebral angiography and CT Scan.

Background: The integration of artificial intelligence into psychodynamic therapy presents a transformative opportunity to enhance mental health interventions.Aims: By consolidating evidence from diverse studies, this research underscores the theoretical and practical implications of psychodynamic AI systems and their potential to reshape therapeutic practices.Methodology: This study employs a meta-analytic approach to synthesize findings from existing research, focusing on the application of psychodynamic principles—such as unconscious processes, relational dynamics, and symbolic meaning—in AI-driven systems. Despite the dominance of cognitive-behavioral frameworks in AI therapeutic tools, psychodynamic approaches offer unique potential for fostering deeper emotional engagement and interpersonal understanding.Results: The analysis highlights advancements in AI-based systems designed to emulate psychodynamic processes and explores challenges, including technical limitations and ethical concerns. The findings emphasize the need for future research to refine AI's capacity to address complex psychodynamic phenomena while adhering to ethical standards, ensuring accessibility, and enhancing emotional intelligence.Conclusions: Ultimately, this work advocates for a balanced integration of psychodynamic principles with AI technologies to achieve scalable and effective mental health solutions.

Background: Just as different forms of dynamic psychotherapy can be considered as an effective tool for the treatment of mental disorders, it can also have negative effects. However, despite various studies, there have been few qualitative studies on the negative effects of dynamic psychotherapies.Aims: The purpose of this qualitative research was to present a conceptual model of the negative effects of dynamic psychotherapies based on the characteristics of the therapist, the client, and the theraputice approach. Methods: This research was conducted with a qualitative approach and Grounded Theory method. The study population of the research included all dynamic psychotherapists in Tehran and those clients 2023 and 2024 who had used dynamic psychotherapy. The research sample consisted of 18 dynamic psychotherapists and 8 clients who were selected by purposeful sampling method. The data collection tool in this research was semi-structured interviews. The data from the interviews were analyzed using the Strauss & Corbin method.Results: 17 axial codes including, primitive defense mechanisms of the client, quality of the parent-child relationship, client's personality traits, resistance to therapy, family structure disturbances, therapist's personality traits, therapist's professional errors, boundary violations, lack of professional competence, therapist's current life problems, non-objectivity of evaluation criteria in dynamic approaches, unstructured nature of dynamic therapies, exacerbation of symptoms, exacerbation of psychosomatic problems, intensification of self-destructive tendencies, and impairment of functioning, were identified as the components of the negative effects of dynamic psychotherapies, and finally, "interactive context of the therapist and client" was chosen as the central theme.Conclusion: it is suggested to evaluate the personality characteristics of therapists. It is also suggested that studies be conducted in order to investigate the interactive role of non-psychological treatments and dynamic therapies on the negative effects caused by psychotherapy

Researchers' attention has recently been focused to the measurement and tracking of prestressing force in the tendons of prestressed concrete (PC) constructions. Older structures need non-destructive testing techniques to evaluate these forces, even if modern structures are fitted with sensors to monitor prestress losses. This work presents a new approach that uses static displacement data under experimental loads to determine the real prestress force in the tendons of a prestressed concrete beam. This approach offers a more economical alternative by doing away with the requirement for destructive tests or pre-installed sensors. A genetic algorithm (GA) is created to precisely calculate the prestress force of tendons. Laboratory testing shows that the proposed method can detect prestress losses with excellent accuracy, even in the presence of intentional measurement mistakes of up to 10%.Researchers' attention has recently been focused to the measurement and tracking of prestressing force in the tendons of prestressed concrete (PC) constructions.

Introduction: Cardiovascular diseases are the most common causes of mortality in the world. Increased blood pressure is one of the most important risk factors for cardiovascular diseases. Decreasing blood pressure due to exercise can reduce the risk of cardiovascular incidents. Thus, the objective of this study is to evaluate the effects of exercise on blood pressure, heart rate and rate pressure product.materials and methods: To evaluate the effects of intensity and volume of resistance exercises on the post-exercise cardiovascular responses, 10 young untrained non-athletic men (age: 22±0.8 years; height: 173.05±2.4 cms and weight: 67.2±3.4 kgs) participated in this study as the subjects. The subjects performed four exercise bouts in a randomized order. Each bout consisted of five exercises: arm curl, hamstring curl, squat, seated lat pull-down and bench press. The exercises were determined to be performed at three sets: SHORT volume of LOW 40% 1RM (SL) and HIGH intensity 80%1RM (SH) and at six sets: LONG volume of LOW 40% 1RM (LL) and HIGH intensity 80% 1RM (LH). Blood pressure (BP), heart rate (HR) and rate pressure product (RPP) (product of HR and systolic BP) were measured before the exercise (baseline) and at the ten-minute intervals within 90 minutes after each exercise. Then, the data were analyzed using two way ANOVA repeated measures and LSD post-hoc tests.results: Systolic BP was found to be Affected by the volume and intensity of exercise and became lower during 10 to 60 minutes after the exercises (P<0.05). However, Diastolic BP was not altered after the exercise bouts. HR was increased in 30 minutes after LL and SL, and within 60 minutes after SH and LH exercises (P<0.05). In contrast, after SH and LH, RPP was increased over a period of 50 minutes.Conclusion: The intensity and volume of resistance exercises do not influence the magnitude and duration of post-exercise hypotension. Also, HR and RPP post-exercise are not affected by the resistance exercise volume.
