Emerging research suggests that death anxiety is a transdiagnostic construct, which may underpin a number of mental illnesses. Although CBT has been found to be the most effective treatment for death anxiety, no self-guided treatments for this construct exist at present. Further, there is a growing need for accessible, scalable, and cost-effective psychological treatments. To address these gaps, we created Overcome Death Anxiety (ODA), an online CBT-based program which specifically targets fears of death. ODA was designed to be a fully automated, standalone, yet individualised online treatment. The present study outlines the development and structure of this program, using responses from two users to illustrate feasibility. Research is needed to examine the efficacy and usability of ODA with a larger clinical sample.

Abstract Emerging research suggests that death anxiety is a transdiagnostic construct, which may underpin a number of mental illnesses. Although cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) has been found to be the most effective treatment for death anxiety, no self-guided treatments for this construct exist at present. Furthermore, there is a growing need for accessible, scalable and cost-effective psychological treatments. To address these gaps, we created Overcome Death Anxiety (ODA), an online CBT-based programme which specifically targets fears of death. ODA was designed to be a fully automated, standalone, yet individualised online treatment. The present study outlines the development and structure of this programme using responses from four users to illustrate feasibility. Research is needed to examine the efficacy and usability of ODA with a larger clinical sample.

Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a cost-effective treatment for osteoarthritis (OA), and osteolysis is a common complication of THA. This study was aimed at exploring the relevant molecular biomarkers for osteolysis after THA. We performed RNA sequence to identify and characterize expressed mRNAs and lncRNAs in OA and osteolysis. Differentially expressed mRNAs (DEmRNAs) and lncRNAs (DElncRNAs) in OA and osteolysis were acquired, as well as shared DEmRNAs/DElncRNAs in OA and osteolysis and osteolysis-specific DEmRNAs/DElncRNAs. Then, shared and osteolysis-specific DElncRNA-DEmRNA coexpression networks were constructed to further investigate the function of DElncRNAs and DEmRNAs in OA and osteolysis. In total, 343 DEmRNAs and 25 DElncRNAs in OA, 908 DEmRNAs and 107 DElncRNAs in osteolysis, and 406 DEmRNAs and 46 DElncRNAs between OA and osteolysis were acquired. A total of 136 shared DEmRNAs and 9 shared DElncRNAs in OA and osteolysis and 736 osteolysis-specific DEmRNAs and 103 osteolysis-specific DElncRNAs were acquired. Then, 128 shared DElncRNA-DEmRNA coexpression pairs and 522 osteolysis-specific DElncRNA-DEmRNA coexpression pairs were identified. The present study highlighted the roles of four interaction pairs, including two shared lncRNA-mRNA interaction pairs in OA and osteolysis (AC111000.4 and AC016831.6), which may function in the immune process of OA and osteolysis by regulating CD8A and CD8B, respectively, and two osteolysis-specific interaction pairs (AC090607.4-FOXO3 and TAL1-ABALON), which may play an important role in osteoclastogenesis.

Major Consideration

The cost effectiveness of treatment has to be a major consideration in any well managed service. It is, therefore, the job of management to ensure that effective treatment is delivered efficiently.
