Unlabelled: We aimed to explore prospectively the relationship between the presence of sustained attention deficit (SAD) in early adolescence and exophenotypical measures of vulnerability to schizophrenia spectrum disorders (personality and psychosocial measures) in early adulthood. Two cohorts of community adolescents were selected in 1993 according to the presence or absence of a CPT-linked SAD. In 2003, both cohorts (Index: n=42, and
Control: n=38) were administered the O-LIFE, the SCID-II, the DOI battery and the COPE scale, among other tests. T-tests were used to compare both cohorts. Index subjects showed a higher level of negative schizotypy, avoidant, depressive and narcissistic personality traits, as well as more asocial behavior and poorer use of coping resources than CONTROL subjects did. A SAD in early adolescence may be associated with coping and social deficits, negative schizotypy, and personality traits indicative of emotional disturbance in adulthood. Our results suggest that SAD in early adolescence might be an indicator of psychopathology in adulthood and give support to dimensional models of psychopathology.

Department of Military Medical Psychology, Fourth Military Medical University, Xi'an, China.
Background: This study aimed to explore the neural mechanisms underlying gender differences in recognizing emotional expressions conveyed through body language. Utilizing electroencephalogram (EEG) recordings, we examined the impact of gender on neural responses through time-frequency analysis and network analysis to uncover gender disparities in bodily emotion recognition.
Methods: The study included 34 participants, consisting of 18 males and 16 females.

Objective: Few reliable patient characteristics have emerged as significant predictors of outcomes for Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD). This study aimed to explore whether affect integration, metacognitions, and maladaptive schemas could serve as predictors of therapeutic outcomes for patients with SAD. Relationships between these psychological constructs and baseline SAD symptomatology were also examined.

Middle Eastern countries, such as the United Arab Emirates and Oman, are affected by frequent dust storms and extreme hot climatic conditions, which can exacerbate respiratory conditions. These environmental factors are particularly injurious to asthmatic patients, as they can aggravate small airway disease (SAD), leading to increased morbidity and healthcare challenges. The evaluation of maximal mid-expiratory flow (MEF-25) as a diagnostic and therapeutic tool for early-stage small airway dysfunction is of significant clinical importance, particularly in hot and arid metropolitan environments where dusty conditions exacerbate pulmonary issues.

Article Synopsis
- The study assesses the effectiveness of PET-CT scans for preoperative staging in early-stage cervical cancer, focusing on detecting primary tumors and micrometastases.
- It included a retrospective analysis of 62 cervical cancer patients treated between 2016 and 2020, with squamous cell carcinoma being the most common type.
- The findings showed that 18F FDG PET-CT had an overall accuracy of 88.7% for identifying primary tumors and 82.2% for lymph node assessment, indicating its significant effectiveness in preoperative staging and predicting metastases.
