The hippocampus's vulnerability to trauma-induced stress can lead to pathophysiological disturbances that precipitate the development of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The mechanisms of resilience that foster remission and mitigate the adverse effects of stress remain unknown. We analyzed the evolution of hippocampal morphology between 2016/2017 and 2018/2019, as well as the memory control mechanisms crucial for trauma resilience.

Although considered a key player during hatching, with activity that imposes a substantial metabolic demand, data are still limited. The study provides a bioenergetic and transcriptomic analyses during the pre-post-hatching period.

GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) have the potential to reduce these risk factors, but their role in lymphedema has never been investigated. The purpose of this study was to determine if GLP-RAs can reduce the risk of lymphedema in patients undergoing ALND.

Previous research has established a link between the content analysis of narrative texts and the psychopathology of people who have experienced trauma. This study examines whether the development of PTSD following exposure to a previous traumatic event alters the way people express themselves in the context of an anxiety-provoking event, the COVID-19 pandemic.
