Cognitive causes of the mental state of terror and their link to mental health outcomes.
J Health Psychol
December 2024
Article Synopsis
- * Key features of this state include feelings of safety loss, unpredictability, strong emotional reactions, and heightened sensitivity to triggers, which can lead to either negative outcomes like mental disorders or positive outcomes like resilience.
- * The text aims to analyze the cognitive aspects of terror, emphasizing the role of trauma exposure, environmental uncertainty, and the importance of psychological resilience and social support in coping with stress and trauma.
Article Synopsis
- - The study examines the performance of phosphorus-enabled land surface models in predicting CO effects on ecosystem responses to climate change, using data from a long-term forest experiment.
- - Most models accurately predicted the direction and magnitude of CO effects on carbon sequestration but tended to overestimate plant carbon uptake and growth.
- - Key areas for improvement include photosynthesis scaling, plant nutrient balance, belowground carbon allocation, and their impact on plant-microbial interactions, suggesting models may overestimate the global carbon sink driven by CO.
The effects of hyperbaric oxygen therapy on snake-bite-associated wounds in dogs.
J Vet Emerg Crit Care (San Antonio)
June 2024
Objective: To assess the effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) on Crotalinae envenomation-induced wound swelling and severity and pain in dogs, and to describe the safety and complications of HBOT.
Design: Prospective, randomized, controlled, blinded study (2017-2021).
Setting: University teaching hospital, private veterinary practice.
Background: Hormone assessment is typically recommended for awake, unsedated dogs. However, one of the most commonly asked questions from veterinary practitioners to the endocrinology laboratory is how sedation impacts cortisol concentrations and the adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) stimulation test. Butorphanol, dexmedetomidine, and trazodone are common sedatives for dogs, but their impact on the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA) is unknown.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFDrawing on collective experience from ten collaborative research projects focused on the Global South, we identify three major challenges that impede the translation of research on sustainability and resilience into better-informed choices by individuals and policy-makers that in turn can support transformation to a sustainable future. The three challenges comprise: (i) converting knowledge produced during research projects into successful knowledge application; (ii) scaling up knowledge in time when research projects are short-term and potential impacts are long-term; and (iii) scaling up knowledge across space, from local research sites to larger-scale or even global impact. Some potential pathways for funding agencies to overcome these challenges include providing targeted prolonged funding for dissemination and outreach, and facilitating collaboration and coordination across different sites, research teams, and partner organizations.
