The present study aimed to investigate the prevalence of self-reported impairment (Criterion F) as part of a probable DSM-IV diagnosis of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) within a sample of 1001 Israeli Jews subjected to direct and indirect exposure to rocket attacks. Further, the present study aimed to investigate predictors of endorsing posttraumatic stress (PTS)-related impairment, with specific attention to the influence of resources and resource loss. Data were collected via phone surveys. Twenty-nine percent of the sample reported impairment; however, only 19% of those reporting impairment met criteria for probable PTSD. Logistic regression results indicated that psychosocial resource losses, experiencing personal injury or injury to a family member or close friend, experiencing other major life stressors in the past year, having poorer health, having significant sleep difficulty, and having traditional (moderate) religious practices, significantly predicted PTS-related impairment. Results suggest that addressing impairment only within the context of full PTSD misses many individuals experiencing significant PTS-related impairment.

Most children confronted with the death of a loved one do not experience persisting psychological problems. However, for some, acute grief reactions develop into prolonged grief disorder (PGD) and other mental health problems. Research findings suggest that bereavement outcomes in children are associated with negative cognitions and avoidant coping and with different parenting behaviours.

Background: Motor vehicle crashes (MVCs) are a leading cause of traumatic death and injury. Police traffic stops (PTS) are a common approach to enforcing motor vehicle laws intended to prevent MVCs. However, it is unclear which types of PTS are most effective.

Listeria monocytogenes is a foodborne pathogen that can tolerate a variety of extreme environments. In particular, its acid resistance (AR) capability is considered one of the key factors threating food safety. Here, we employed a microbial functional genomic technology termed transposon sequencing (Tn-seq), leading to the identification of two genes involved in cell wall peptidoglycan biosynthesis () and phosphate transport () that play key roles in lactic acid resistance (LAR) of L.

Pterin profiles or molecular analyses of hyperphenylalaninemia (HPA) caused by phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) deficiency or tetrahydrobiopterin deficiency (BH4D) are not always available in low- or middle-income countries, including Mexico, limiting information regarding the phenotypic and genotypic characteristics of patients exhibiting BH4D. To report the genotypes underlying BH4D and the clinical presentation in unrelated Mexican HPA pediatric patients with normal genotypes who attended a single metabolic reference center in Mexico. Automated Sanger sequencing of the , , and genes of 14 HPA patients was performed.

Background: Firefighters are at high risk for subthreshold and full-threshold posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) due to their frequent exposure to various traumatic events. Although individuals with subthreshold PTSD have increased impairment, often needing treatment, the rates of subthreshold PTSD in firefighters remain unknown. Moreover, there is currently no consensus regarding the definition of subthreshold PTSD.
