Effects of volcanic eruptions on the mental health of exposed populations: a systematic review.

Introduction: Millions of people living in volcanic environments are at risk of experiencing volcanic eruptions, a natural disaster. This systematic review aimed to collect empirical evidence of the effects of volcanic eruptions on the mental health of the exposed populations.

Methods: Following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, we conducted systematic searches on Scopus, PubMed, PsycINFO, Medline, and Web of Science (WoS) databases.

Effectiveness of Collaborative, Trauma-Informed Care on Depression Outcomes in Primary Care: A Cluster Randomized Control Trial in Chile.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of collaborative trauma-informed care (CTIC) for treating depression in primary care in Chile.

Methods: From August 2021 through June 2023, 16 primary care teams in the Maule Region of Chile, were randomly assigned to either the CTIC or usual treatment (UT) group. At baseline, 3 months, and 6 months, 115 patients in the CTIC group, and 99 in the UT group, were blindly evaluated.

Voriconazole successfully treats chytridiomycosis in frogs.

Chytridiomycosis is a devastating disease and is a key cause of amphibian population declines around the world. Despite active research on this amphibian disease system for over 2 decades, we still do not have treatment methods that are safe and that can be broadly used across species. Here, we show evidence that voriconazole is a successful method of treatment for 1 species of amphibian in captivity and that this treatment could offer benefits over other treatment options like heat or itraconazole, which are not able to be used for all species and life stages.
