The rebirth of PTSD: the rise of a new paradigm in psychiatry.

Soc Psychiatry Psychiatr Epidemiol

Published: November 2004

The new conception of psychological trauma that arose in the 1980s with the definition of PTSD in the DSM-III was a major change compared to the previous traumatic neurosis. While the clinical features were in some way similar, the political and sociological meanings of trauma were absolutely different. At that time, the invention of PTSD was much more the consequence of a broad mutation in mentality that introduced a new moral perspective in trauma studies than of a scientific discovery. In this paper, the author underlines from an anthropological point of view the second turning point that occurred in trauma studies in the mid 1990s when large epidemiological surveys did not confirm the first hypothesis. Readdressing the issues of vulnerability and risk factors that the previous version of PTSD had withdrawn, this second conception raises new epistemological questions that stay unsolved.

Non-Operative Management of Cholecystitis in Pregnant Patients Remains Common.

Surg Infect (Larchmt)

January 2025

Division of Trauma, Surgical Critical Care, Burns, and Acute Care Surgery, Department of Surgery, UC San Diego, San Diego, California, USA.

Cholecystectomy is the recommended treatment for acute cholecystitis in pregnancy, leading to fewer pregnancy-related complications than non-operative management. However, past research demonstrated high rates of non-operative management despite these recommendations. Rates of cholecystostomy tube usage and outcomes in pregnancy are not well described.

Occupational Injuries and Fatalities in Norwegian Fish Farming.

J Agromedicine

January 2025

Department of Fishery and New Biomarine Industry, SINTEF Ocean, Trondheim, Norway.

Objective: People working in the Norwegian fish farming industry work in a high energy environment, where there are many hazards in the daily work. An important part of mitigating hazardous situations is to keep track of the characteristics of the accidents that have already happened and to learn from these, when planning future work. The objective of this study was to strengthen the knowledge of factors and conditions influencing personnel safety in Norwegian fish farming, based on analyses of registered occupational fatalities and injuries.

Correlations of the expression of Cx43, SCF, p-cyclin E1 (Ser73), p-cyclin E1 (Thr77) and p-cyclin E1 (Thr395) in colon cancer tissues.

World J Gastrointest Oncol

January 2025

Department of Orthopaedics, Air Force Hospital of Eastern Theater, Anhui Medical University, Nanjing 230032, Jiangsu Province, China.

Background: Previous cellular studies have demonstrated that elevated expression of Cx43 promotes the degradation of cyclin E1 and inhibits cell proliferation through ubiquitination. Conversely, reduced expression results in a loss of this capacity to facilitate cyclin E degradation. The ubiquitination and degradation of cyclin E1 may be associated with phosphorylation at specific sites on the protein, with Cx43 potentially enhancing this process by facilitating the phosphorylation of these critical residues

Aim: To investigate the correlation between expression of Cx43, SKP1/Cullin1/F-box (SCF), p-cyclin E1 (ser73, thr77, thr395) and clinicopathological indexes in colon cancer.
