The study examines the effectiveness of applying the Life-Stressor Checklist (LSC-R) in diagnosing trauma-related disease. The validity of a quantitative analysis of the checklist is evaluated in consideration of the dose-response effect between the number of different traumatic stressor expositions and the degree of trauma-related symptoms. The trauma checklist LSC-R was applied to 130 patients. Data on psychological symptoms was collected with the help of IES-R (PTSD symptoms) and SCL-90-R, the relevance of traumatic experiences for the genesis of disorders was assessed by expert evaluation. The dose effect replicated clearly with r=0.714 and a cut-off of ≥6 yielded a 75% agreement with the expert evaluation. The total value of the trauma checklist showed a differentiation within high-risk groups and also agreement with the severity of the traumatization. The quantitative analysis of the trauma checklist permits an effective screening for identifying trauma-related disease.

Introduction: Segmental anatomical resections have been a subject of debate in recent years. There is increasing evidence that these procedures may offer some advantages in the treatment of early-stage lung cancer, with overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) similar to those seen in lobar anatomical resections.

Materials And Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of patients who underwent segmentectomy at Santa Marta Hospital (HSM) between January 2018 and September 2022.

Background: Individuals with co-occurring posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and HIV are at high-risk for negative HIV-related outcomes, including low adherence to antiretroviral therapy, faster disease progression, more hospitalizations, and almost twice the rate of death. Despite high rates of PTSD in persons with HIV (PWH) and poor HIV-related health outcomes associated with PTSD, an effective evidence-based treatment for PTSD symptoms in PWH does not exist.

Objective: This study aimed to describe the adaptation and theater testing of an evidence-based intervention designed for people with co-occurring PTSD and HIV.

Complex childhood trauma (CCT) involves prolonged exposure to severe interpersonal stressors, leading to deficits in executive functioning and self-regulation during adolescence, a critical period for neurodevelopment. While qEEG parameters, particularly alpha oscillations, have been proposed as potential biomarkers for trauma, empirical documentation in developmental samples is limited. .

Multiple sclerosis (MS) falls within the spectrum of central nervous system (CNS) demyelinating diseases that may lead to permanent neurological disability. Fundamental to the diagnosis and clinical surveillance is magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) that allows for the identification of T2-hyperintensities associated with autoimmune injury that demonstrate distinct spatial distribution patterns. Here, we describe the clinical experience of a 31-year-old, right-handed, White man seen in consultation at The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, Texas, following complaints of headaches that began after head trauma related to military service.
