Complex posttraumatic stress disorder (Complex PTSD) has been recently proposed as a distinct clinical entity in the WHO International Classification of Diseases, 11 version, due to be published, two decades after its first initiation. It is described as an enhanced version of the current definition of PTSD, with clinical features of PTSD plus three additional clusters of symptoms namely emotional dysregulation, negative self-cognitions and interpersonal hardship, thus resembling the clinical features commonly encountered in borderline personality disorder (BPD). Complex PTSD is related to complex trauma which is defined by its threatening and entrapping context, generally interpersonal in nature.

The reactions of Co(II) sources with N-salicylidene-o-aminophenol (H2saph), N-salicylidene-o-amino-4-methylphenol (H2saph-4Me) and N-salicylidene-o-amino-4-chlorophenol (H2saph-4Cl) were studied in MeOH. The new solid complexes (Bu4(n)N)[Co(III)(saph)2] (1), (Et3NH)[Co(III)(saph-4Me)2]⋅MeOH⋅MeCO2H (2⋅MeOH⋅MeCO2H) and (Et3NH)[Co(III)(saph-4Cl)2]⋅MeOH⋅MeCO2H (3⋅MeOH⋅MeCO2H) have been isolated and their structures determined by single-crystal, X-ray crystallography. The three compounds contain the mononuclear, low- spin octahedral anion [Co(III)L2](-) (H2L=H2saph, H2saph-4Me, H2saph-4Cl), in which both L(2)(-) ligands act as tridentate chelating, meridional ONO donors.

The patients, eight years after the curative treatment of colorectal adenocarcinoma, were examined exhibiting pulmonary symptoms with radiological findings in the chest and endobronchial lesions as an initial presentation. The use of fiberoptic bronchoscopy of endoluminar/endobronchial lesions may help in diagnosing the origin of metastatic spread in the presence or absence of a primary tumour.
