Severe trauma has a significant impact on self-attitudes and emotions, such as self-criticism and shame, and psychological symptoms. This topic has been more well studied among populations with Trauma and Stress-Related Disorders, but examined to a lesser extent in other clinical populations where adverse life events and potentially traumatic events are highly prevalent, such as Hoarding Disorder. The current study examined trauma exposure, and the relationships between trauma, self-criticism, shame, and symptom se [...]

This study investigated three novel complete blood count–derived inflammatory biomarkers Systemic Immune-Inflammation Index (SII), Systemic Inflammation Response Index (SIRI), and Pan-Immune-Inflammation Value (PIV) and their relationship with clinical features of Behçet’s Disease (BD). Established markers, including neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), and monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio (MLR), were also analyzed. Seventy HLA-B51–positive BD patients and 114 HLA-B51–negative healt [...]

The widespread use of social media among college students has become a significant concern due to its potential impact on mental health and addictive behaviors. Social media platforms, while offering numerous benefits, can also foster environments that contribute to addiction, depression, and anxiety. College students, in particular, are vulnerable to these effects due to their high levels of social media engagement and the pressures of academic life. Mental health literacy, which involves understanding and managin [...]

Dietary factors influence chronic inflammation and immune regulation, potentially affecting the onset and activity of rheumatic disease. Red meat, a major source of protein, heme iron, and saturated fat, has been linked to metabolic and inflammatory disorders, yet its role in rheumatic diseases remains unclear. To comprehensively evaluate the relationship between red-meat consumption and major rheumatic diseases—including rheumatoid arthritis (RA), gout, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), and other inflammatory or [...]

People with severe intellectual disability and blindness tend to perform only simple occupational activities and are mostly unable to transition between those activities. This inability makes their level of occupation independent of staff support fairly limited. Technology-aided programs may be one of the few opportunities available to increase their independent occupation. This study assessed one such program designed to (a) monitor the participants’ responses and guide them to transition to a new activity once th [...]

International students represent a significant sojourner group. Increasing international student numbers makes it ever more relevant to understand the determinants of their psychological adaptation. This research investigates the question of how perceived cultural distance (PCD) impacts acculturation variables (social contact with host nationals and host national identity) and outcomes such as saudade and life satisfaction among African international students. The sample comprised 422 college students (195 from Ang [...]

First responders are routinely exposed to traumatic events in the line of duty, placing them at heightened risk for adverse mental health outcomes, including substance use. This study investigated the psychological mechanisms linking trauma exposure to alcohol use, specifically examining the serial mediating roles of insomnia and depression. A sample of 429 first responders (309 police officers and 120 paramedics) from the Western Cape, South Africa, completed an online survey comprising the Life Events Checklist-5 [...]

To date, all large-scale randomized controlled trials for COVID-19 vaccines have excluded solid organ transplant recipients; therefore, the effectiveness and safety of COVID-19 vaccines in preventing coronavirus infection using COVID-19 vaccines in patients with heart transplants have not been sufficiently studied. This paper presents the characteristics of humoral and cellular immunity in heart transplant recipients following vaccination against coronavirus infection. The study group consisted of 40 patients who u [...]

The development and utilization of pharmaceuticals, notably antiretrovirals (ARVs), have significantly enhanced both human quality of life and life expectancy. Nevertheless, the excretion of these compounds into aquatic environments, often exacerbated by inadequate sanitation infrastructure, poses considerable risks to biota. This investigation evaluated the environmental impact of 14 ARVs consumed within the municipality of Belo Horizonte (BH), Brazil. The assessment employed the Environmental Risk Assessment (ERA [...]

Mathematical learning often presents persistent challenges for children and adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) due to differences in Executive Functioning (EF), cognitive flexibility, and symbolic reasoning. These factors can hinder the development of numerical understanding and pre-mathematical reasoning, problem-solving, and abstract thinking, frequently resulting in disengagement and anxiety. In recent years, digital and embodied technologies—particularly Serious Games (SG) and Educational Robotics [...]

The purpose of the study was to consider the distribution of Y-chromosome DNA markers in samples from the populations of the three largest megalopolises (Moscow, Saint Petersburg, and Novosibirsk) in the Russian Federation, in the context of developing genetic databases. The study aimed to compare the frequency profiles of 18 Y-chromosome STRs (Short tandem repeats) and the level of genetic differentiation. Based on FST estimates for the distribution of these 18 Y-chromosome STRs, the senior generations of Moscow a [...]

Antibody mediated rejection (AMR) is a considerable cause of late allograft failure in solid organ transplantation. Conventional approaches, using plasmapheresis, intravenous immunoglobulin, rituximab, bortezomib, and eculizumab have been unsuccessful in improving graft survival. This review aims to assess emerging therapies for AMR treatment across all organs.

Research shows that trauma therapists often experience secondary trauma, which can lead to secondary traumatic stress, compassion fatigue, and burnout. Trauma-informed care training has shown promise in enhancing practitioners' professional quality of life, particularly for those regularly exposed to trauma.

The rising pollution levels in congested urban areas pose a serious threat to human health. Many solutions have been proposed to control and reduce gas emissions from road traffic, with results that are not entirely satisfactory. The adoption of new techniques and methodologies for early detection of pollutant emissions may enable effective management and control of road traffic contamination. The proposed method introduces an interactive protocol that facilitates communication between the traffic control center an [...]

Increasing local energy access in developing countries, particularly in off-grid regions where mini-grids are often overloaded, remains a critically underexplored area in energy transition. These regions often face significant technical and economic challenges, such as low generation capacity, high energy costs, limited energy access, and heavy reliance on diesel fuels. This study explores capacity expansion by integrating small-scale geothermal energy into such a mini-grid system to enhance the local energy supply [...]
