We investigated impulse-control disorders (ICDs), alcohol use and outcome expectancies in students (n=571, 63.9% female, age: M=21.7) using questionnaires. Twenty (3.5%) were positively screened for lifetime ICDs, mostly males (n=16, 80%). Disorder-specific rates ranged between 0 and 1.2%. Differences in alcohol use and expectancies between ICDs and controls did not reach significance.

Dementia, including Alzheimer's disease (AD) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD), presents critical challenges for correctional systems, particularly as global populations age. AD, affecting 60-80% of dementia cases, primarily impairs memory and cognition in individuals over 65. In contrast, FTD, rarer than AD but not uncommon in those under 65, affects the frontal and temporal brain regions, leading to deficits in social behavior, language, and impulse control, often resulting in antisocial actions and legal consequences.

Background: Most of the Fractional exhaled Nitric Oxide (FeNO)'s physiological production occurs in small airways, but the relationship between FeNO and small airway disease (SAD) in asthma is scant.
Objective: To investigate the relationship between asthma control, changes of FeNO in relation to airway bronchodilation (BD), and SAD.
Methods: Baseline conventional spirometry, impulse oscillometry (IOS), and FeNO pre- and post-bronchodilation (salbutamol 400 mcg) were tested on consecutive community-treated adult asthmatic patients.

Intermittent explosive disorder (IED) is characterized by sudden, disproportionate outbursts of anger that can severely impact individuals' quality of life, causing difficulties in maintaining relationships, issues at work or school and potential legal troubles. This study aimed to systematically review and meta-analyse the effectiveness of psychological and pharmacological treatments for IED, drawing insights from both case studies and randomized controlled trials (RCTs). A total of 12 RCTs and 14 case studies were included in this comprehensive analysis.

Offering Internet-delivered therapy could be a solution to these barriers. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of therapist-guided Internet-delivered acceptance-enhanced behavior therapy (iBT) for SPD compared to a wait-list control condition.
