The aim of the present study was to examine construct validity and reliability of the German reactive proactive aggression questionnaire (RPQ) in a sample of delinquent boys ( = 156). A confirmatory factor analysis with a two-factor model of reactive and proactive aggression showed a good fit to the data. The factor structure of the original RPQ could be fully replicated in the German translation, and Cronbach's alphas were good for both subscales. Concurrent validity of the RPQ was demonstrated by significant correlations with the subscales of the inventory of callous unemotional traits. In future studies, the German RPQ can be used to assess reactive and proactive aggression in judicial and forensic psychiatric care in Germany. The present findings also provide support for the use of the RPQ in cross-cultural comparisons.

Reactive oxygen, nitrogen and sulfur species (RONSS) collectively encompasses a variety of energetically dynamic entities that emerge as inherent characteristics of aerobic life. This broad category includes reactive oxygen species (ROS), reactive nitrogen species (RNS), and reactive sulfur species (RSS). A conundrum arises from the indispensable role of RONSS in redox signalling, while its overproduction in the mitochondria poses deleterious effects.

Patients with type 1 diabetes and their physicians have long desired a fully closed-loop artificial pancreas (AP) system that can alleviate the burden of blood glucose regulation. Although deep reinforcement learning (DRL) methods theoretically enable adaptive insulin dosing control, they face numerous challenges, including safety and training efficiency, which have hindered their clinical application. This paper proposes a safe and efficient adaptive insulin delivery controller based on DRL.

The open field test (OFT) is frequently used in research to assess anxiety-like behavior and locomotor activity. Its simple design can lead to the misconception that it is a standardized procedure comparable between laboratories. However, some modifications in the setup can cause changes in behavior.

Background: Among hospitalized children, episodes of aggressive patient behavior place healthcare staff at risk for serious injuries. By implementing a behavioral response team at a children's hospital, we aimed to reduce monthly employee injuries related to aggressive patient behavior from 3.4 to 2.
