A Longitudinal Examination of Post-COVID-19 Mortality in Residents in Long-Term Care Homes.

The most adverse outcomes of the COVID-19 pandemic include high post-infection mortality among long-term care (LTC) home residents. Research about mortality over a longer period after contracting COVID-19 and in different pandemic years is limited. In the current study, we examined outcomes for 1,596 LTC residents from the day of a positive COVID-19 test until January 31, 2023.

Exploring Post-COVID-19 Functional Outcomes in Residents in Long-Term Care Homes in British Columbia, Canada.

Research on functional outcomes in long-term care (LTC) home residents after COVID-19 infection is limited. In the current study, we examined outcomes in 1,310 LTC residents with a positive COVID-19 test in the period from March 2020 to April 2022 ("COVID" group). We also reviewed outcomes in residents in the same LTC homes without a history of COVID-19 during the same period ("No-COVID" group,  = 2,301).

Discriminative and predictive validity of the penile plethysmograph in adolescent sex offenders.

The current study addresses the discriminative and predictive validity of the penile plethysmograph (PPG) in a sample of 132 male adolescent sex offenders who were admitted to a sex offender treatment program. The subjects were assessed pretreatment and posttreatment, under two different instructions sets: an Arouse condition, where subjects allowed themselves to become aroused; and a Suppress condition, where subjects attempted to suppress or control their arousal. Under the pretreatment Arouse condition, the group with male child victims demonstrated significantly greater arousal to child stimuli than the group with female nonchild victims.
