Patterns of risk-Using machine learning and structural neuroimaging to identify pedophilic offenders.

Background: Child sexual abuse (CSA) has become a focal point for lawmakers, law enforcement, and mental health professionals. With high prevalence rates around the world and far-reaching, often chronic, individual, and societal implications, CSA and its leading risk factor, pedophilia, have been well investigated. This has led to a wide range of clinical tools and actuarial instruments for diagnosis and risk assessment regarding CSA.

Running for Your Life: Metabolic Effects of a 160.9/230 km Non-Stop Ultramarathon Race on Body Composition, Inflammation, Heart Function, and Nutritional Parameters.

Moderate endurance exercise leads to an improvement in cardiovascular performance, stress resilience, and blood function. However, the influence of chronic endurance exercise over several hours or days is still largely unclear. We examined the influence of a non-stop 160.

Discrepancies Between Osteoporotic Fracture Evaluations in Men Based on German (DVO) Osteoporosis Guidelines or the FRAX Score.

Introduction: Established scores estimate 10-year fracture risk in osteoporosis to assist with treatment recommendations. This study compared the risk probabilities of major osteoporotic and hip fractures calculated by the FRAX tool with those of the DVO score, established in German-speaking countries.

Material And Methods: This seven-year retrospective study analyzed data of 125 male patients (mean age: 59.

Plausibility and structural reanalysis in L1 and L2 sentence comprehension.

This study examines whether English native speakers and highly proficient non-native speakers make comparable use of plausibility information during online sentence processing. Two sentence types involving temporarily ambiguous structural configurations-subordinate-clause ambiguity sentences and sentences with adjacent/split verb-particle constructions (VPCs)-were tested in a self-paced reading task. In the subordinate-clause ambiguity sentences, the pattern of reading times indicated that both native and non-native speakers used plausibility to recover from initial structural misanalysis.

MEG reveals preference specific increases of sexual-image-evoked responses in paedophilic sexual offenders and healthy controls.

Objectives: Paedophilic disorder is characterised by sexual attraction towards children. Classification of a counterpart as sexually attractive likely occurs rapidly, and involves both conscious and unconscious attentional and cognitive processes. Magnetoencephalography (MEG) is an imaging method especially well-suited to examine visual and attentional processes triggered by sexual images within the range of milliseconds.
