Background: Dissociative identity disorder (DID) is associated with severe clinical and cognitive debilitating psychopathology. Additionally, it is often thought that creativity and cultural differences contribute to DID's symptomatology. Thus, the present study aimed to expand previous empirical data by investigating differences in clinical, cognitive, creativity and cultural measures between two distinct samples in order to gain a better insight into this disorder.

Quantitative grey matter neuroimaging research has shown aberrant volumes in traumatised individuals, however studies examining white matter are sparse, particularly for DID. The present study aims to examine white matter alterations of people with trauma-related disorders.

Methods, tools, and technologies that can overcome these barriers and improve screening rates are needed. Tools based on automated analysis of acoustic voice could help bridge this gap.

Background: Continuity of care is essential in perinatal care, where the complexity of maternal and infant needs requires coordinated care across the antenatal, intrapartum, and postpartum periods.
Aim: To provide an overview of the current literature on continuity of care in the interprofessional perinatal care from the perspective of nursing.
Article Synopsis
- - Functional Neurological Symptom Disorder (FNSD) involves neurological-like symptoms without a clear neurological cause, and the mechanisms behind it are complex and not fully understood.
- - A study tested the use of remote monitoring technologies (RMT) on 17 individuals with FNS and 17 healthy controls to track symptoms, daily events, and physiological data, finding that those with FNS reported higher levels of negative emotions, pain, and sleep issues.
- - Results indicate that daily stressors and negative feelings significantly impact FNS severity, suggesting that addressing emotional responses could help those with FNS, and calls for larger studies to explore these findings further.
