Negative urgency increases risk for coping-motivated cannabis outcomes in socially anxious male emerging adult cannabis users.

Tension reduction theory suggests that socially anxious emerging adults use cannabis to cope with negative affect. However, the literature is mixed, indicating that the effect of social anxiety on cannabis use behaviors during emerging adulthood may depend on other moderating factors, such as negative urgency. This study aimed to clarify potential moderators that may strengthen the associations between social anxiety and cannabis outcomes among emerging adults.

Perioperative management of patients with glioblastoma copresenting with pheochromocytoma: illustrative case.

Background: Undiagnosed pheochromocytoma can present with hemodynamic instability during surgical procedures. Here, the authors discuss a 69-year-old male with isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH)-wildtype glioblastoma copresenting with undiagnosed pheochromocytoma, which, to the authors' knowledge, is the second reported case in the literature.

Observations: The patient presented to the emergency department with a 1-month history of coordination difficulties, progressive morning headache, and mild left-side weakness.

Associations of self-regulation strategy use with in-play betting intensity and associated harms: An ecological momentary assessment study.

Self-regulation strategies, such as limit setting, can be effective in reducing harms associated with gambling. However, limited research has examined their applicability to in-play sports betting. The current study therefore examined the utility of self-regulation strategies in reducing in-play betting intensity and associated harms.

Emotional difficulties mediate the impact of adverse childhood experiences on compulsive buying-shopping problems.

Background: Compulsive buying-shopping is recognised as a significant mental health concern, yet its aetiology is largely understudied. A known risk factor for compulsive buying-shopping is adverse childhood experiences (ACEs). ACEs are also associated with greater problems regulating emotions, as well as depression and anxiety.

Adverse Childhood Experiences and Problematic Cannabis Use: The Role of Emotion Dysregulation and Affective Impulsivity.

Problematic cannabis use is highly prevalent among postsecondary students. Consequently, there is a need to examine risk factors associated with problematic cannabis use in this population. The present study investigated whether emotion dysregulation mediates the relationship between adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and problematic cannabis use, and whether affective impulsivity (negative and positive urgency) uniquely moderates this relationship.
