Working with severely mentally ill persons within the locked environment of a secure residential treatment facility presents a provocative challenge in attempting to establish a rehabilitative program. The author describes the mission, goals and methods of one of Oregon's newly organized facilities for "hard to place" former state hospital patients. The value of teaching the residents self-control is emphasized. Clinical vignettes illustrate how the staff involve the residents in real-life tasks, apply natural consequences to problem behaviors, and make attempts at minimizing the potential sources of confrontation.

Background: Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (AB-PMJAY) is a health insurance scheme launched by the Government of India (GOI) in 2018 to cover the in-patient (IP) treatment expenditures, including mental illness treatment expenditures, for 500 million Indians. AB-PMJAY pays 100% of treatment expenditures for persons below the poverty line (BPL) and 30% for people above the poverty line (APL). Ayushman Bharat Arogya Karnataka (ABAK) trust implements this scheme in Karnataka, a southern Indian state.

The locus coeruleus (LC), as the primary source of norepinephrine (NE) in the brain, is central to modulating cognitive and behavioral processes. This review synthesizes recent findings to provide a comprehensive understanding of the LC-NE system, highlighting its molecular diversity, neurophysiological properties, and role in various brain functions. We discuss the heterogeneity of LC neurons, their differential responses to sensory stimuli, and the impact of NE on cognitive processes such as attention and memory.

The term "neuroenhancement" describes the enhancement of cognitive function associated with deficiencies resulting from a specific condition. Nevertheless, there is currently no agreed-upon definition for the term "neuroenhancement", and its meaning can change based on the specific research being discussed. As humans, our continual pursuit of expanding our capabilities, encompassing both cognitive and motor skills, has led us to explore various tools.

Background: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is highly prevalent in veterans with mental illnesses such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Untreated OSA reduces the effectiveness of the treatment of PTSD. Treatment of OSA has been shown to reduce daytime sleepiness and symptoms of PTSD and depression.

Cognitive impairment refers to the impairment of higher brain functions such as perception, thinking or memory that affects the individual's ability to perform daily or social activities. Studies have found that changes in neuronal activity during tasks in patients with cognitive impairment are closely related to changes in cerebral cortical hemodynamics. Functional near-infrared spectroscopy is an indirect method to measure neural activity based on changes in blood oxygen concentration in the cerebral cortex.
