Comorbidity with PTSD has been studied at home and abroad in follow-up\nstudies following major traumatic events, indexing patients diagnosed with\nPTSD and investigating rates of comorbidity and other psychiatric disorders.\nIn practical clinical practice, the majority of patients with PTSD are diagnosed\nwith neurosis and depression, but the clinical manifestations and\ntreatment of some of these patients are more complicated and difficult, and it\nis clinically found that these patients may have comorbidities and other mental\ndisorders. This study in hospitalized patients with neurosis and depression\nas the main research object, through the investigation found that some patients\n(36.4%) of comorbid PTSD, just, this part of the patients reported by a\ntraumatic event is not CCMD-3 defined in the â??unusualâ? traumatic event.\nTherefore, the results of this study suggest that attention should be paid to the\ncollection of patientsâ?? medical history, especially the inquiry of traumatic experiences.\nThis study is only a preliminary study with a small sample size, and\nthe conclusions obtained need to be further confirmed in future studies....
Background: Postural control is a very important function in everyday life. However, assessing postural control with\ncommonly used measurement instruments (MIs) is limited due to deficits in their psychometric properties. The\nMini-Balance Evaluation Systems Test (Mini-BESTest) is a comprehensive and multidimensional MI for assessing\npostural control in persons with limited balance function, such as individuals after stroke. Despite the increasing use\nof the Mini-BESTest worldwide, no German version is available.\nResearch question: Is the German version of the Mini-BESTest (GVMBT) comprehensible and valid for measuring\npostural control in individuals after stroke?\nMethods: The Mini-BESTest was translated and cross-culturally adapted, following established guidelines. It was\npilot-tested with ten participants. This observational measurement and validation study was conducted at one\npoint and included 50 participants with subacute.......................
COVID-19 pandemic continues to spread exponentially worldwide, especially\nin America. At the end of August 2020, Brazil is one of the most affected\ncountries with more than three and a half million cases and up to 114,250\ndeaths. This study aims to assess the fear and peri-traumatic stress during the\nCOVID-19 pandemics in Brazil, to enhance infection control methods, appropriate\ninterventions, and public health policies. A cross-sectional survey\nhas been conducted from April 12th to 18th using the Peri-Traumatic Distress\nScale (CPDI) and the Fear Scale (FCV-19S) aiming to measure the peri-traumatic\nstress and fear as psychological reactions during the COVID-19 pandemic.\nFor that purpose, an online spreadsheet..............................
To date, few studies have investigated the impact of organizational factors\nsuch as organizational status or the rank of firefighters on the development of\nposttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) following a terrorist attack. To fill this\ngap in the scientific literature, this field study aimed to investigate the consequences\nof terrorist attacks on firefightersâ?? psychological health in terms of\nPTSD. Data were collected in France following two terrorist attacks. PTSD\nwas assessed with the PCL-S (DSM-IV) 3 to 6 months after the events. Confirmatory\nfactor analyses (CFAs) with existing PTSD models were inconclusive,\nleading us to find a two-factor model via an exploratory factor analysis\n(EFA). A cluster analysis showed different symptom profiles that were influenced\nby the exposure level. Elements for a structural model explaining PTSD\nsymptoms are proposed and suggest a central role of the exposure level. Firefighters\nI/II represented an at-risk sub-population, suggesting that PTSD was\nmainly experienced among those who performed tasks not common to their\noccupation....
Background: The neural circuits involved in the decision-making process\nand social emotion participate in the same circuits seen in major depressive\ndisorder. This study aimed to investigate in depressed patients, the decision\nmaking process in risk/reward situations using neurophysiological methods\nfor a better assessment of functional aspects related to decision making deficit\nthat are seen in major depression. Methods: Forty patients were studied, 20\nwith depression and 20 without. After applied the Structured Clinical.....................
