Royal Canadian Mounted Police cadets' exposure to potentially psychologically traumatic events during the Cadet Training Program.

Lifetime exposures to potentially psychologically traumatic events (PPTEs) among Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) cadets starting the Cadet Training Program (CTP) appear lower than exposures reported by serving RCMP, but the prevalence of PPTE exposures during the CTP remains unknown. The current study assessed PPTE exposures during the CTP and examined associations with mental disorders among RCMP cadets. Participants were cadets (n = 449, 24.

Veterans health administration leads the way in population mental health science: Commentary on Dodge et al. (2024).

Recently, Dodge et al. (2024) published an article in offering recommendations to the mental health field for changing from an individual-level to a population-level focus. These recommendations included scaling up evidence-based programs, innovating and evaluating population-level interventions, and creating a primary system of care to promote mental health and well-being.

Intensive Treatment of Chronic Pain and PTSD: The PATRIOT Program.

Military combat can result in the need for comprehensive care related to both physical and psychological trauma, most commonly chronic pain and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). These conditions tend to co-occur and result in high levels of distress and interference in everyday life. Thus, it is imperative to develop effective, time-efficient treatments for these conditions before they become chronic and resistant to change.

Dominant negative variants in ITPR3 impair T cell Ca2+ dynamics causing combined immunodeficiency.

The importance of calcium (Ca2+) as a second messenger in T cell signaling is exemplified by genetic deficiencies of STIM1 and ORAI1, which abolish store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE) resulting in combined immunodeficiency (CID). We report five unrelated patients with de novo missense variants in ITPR3, encoding a subunit of the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (IP3R), which forms a Ca2+ channel in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane responsible for the release of ER Ca2+ required to trigger SOCE, and for Ca2+ transfer to other organelles. The patients presented with CID, abnormal T cell Ca2+ homeostasis, incompletely penetrant ectodermal dysplasia, and multisystem disease.

The NHGRI-EBI GWAS Catalog: standards for reusability, sustainability and diversity.

The NHGRI-EBI GWAS Catalog serves as a vital resource for the genetic research community, providing access to the most comprehensive database of human GWAS results. Currently, it contains close to 7 000 publications for >15 000 traits, from which more than 625 000 lead associations have been curated. Additionally, 85 000 full genome-wide summary statistics datasets-containing association data for all variants in the analysis-are available for downstream analyses such as meta-analysis, fine-mapping, Mendelian randomisation or development of polygenic risk scores.
