aeruginosa PAO1 without hindering its growth. Phytochemical analysis of PEO was done by GC/MS technique. CDDO-Im Molecular docking of PEO major compounds with QS (LasR and FabI) and biofilm regulator proteins (MvfR and Sialidase) of PAO1 was evaluated. These phytocompounds showed potential hydrogen binding interactions with these proteins. The overall results, in vitro and in silico, suggest that PEO could be applied as biocontrol agent against antibiotic resistance pathogens. Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.Background and objectives Tobacco products are conceivably the most accessible addictive substances. Its use contributes to numerous negative health outcomes both in the developed and developing world. The objective of the study was to assess the usability of a Willingness to Quit smoking questionnaire; a concise questionnaire used to assess the readiness of active tobacco smokers to stop smoking, and also guiding in constructive conversations between healthcare workers and clients regarding stopping smoking.Methods In this study, 25 active tobacco smokers and four healthcare workers of different cadres were interviewed.

It was reported that the Willingness to Quit smoking questionnaire triggered the intention to stop smoking and effectively guided the interviews between the healthcare workers and clients who had expressed the intention of stopping smoking.Conclusion The Willingness to Quit smoking questionnaire is a valuable tool in clinical practice as it can be used to prompt tobacco cessation dialogues between healthcare workers and clients attempting to stop smoking.Objective The main objective of this study was to explore the relationship between alliance and treatment outcome of substance use disorder (SUD) outpatients in routine care. Attachment, type of substance use, and treatment orientation were analyzed as potential moderators of this relationship. Method Ninety-nine SUD outpatients rated their psychological distress before every session. Patients and therapists rated the alliance after every session. At treatment start and end, the patient completed the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT), the Drug Use Disorders Identification Test (DUDIT), and the Experiences in Close Relationships (ECR-S). Data were analyzed using multilevel growth curve modeling and Dynamic Structural Equation Modeling (DSEM). Results The associations between alliance and outcome on psychological distress and substance use were, on average, weak. Within-patient associations between patient-rated alliance and outcome were moderated by self-rated attachment. Type of abuse moderated associations between therapist-rated alliance and psychological distress. No moderating effect was found for treatment orientation. Conclusions Patients' attachment style and type of abuse may have influenced the association between alliance and problem reduction. A larger sample size is needed to confirm these findings.The prevalence of obesity in young people around the world. The written and visual media have an important role to play in increasing student awareness in the prevention of obesity. This study was planned with the aim of determining the effect on attitudes and beliefs concerning obesity of the levels of media literacy of university students. This cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted with 300 obese students. The Media Literacy Scale, and the Obesity Health Belief Model Scale were used in the collection of data for the study. The Student t test and the one-way ANOVA test were used in the analysis of the data. A weak, positive statistically significant correlation was found between media literacy and the subscales of perceived severity, perceived
