Objective: The aim of this study is to adapt Perceived Devaluation- Discrimination (PDD) scale for Turkish language and culture.
Method: Participants from clinical and community populations were included in the study. The community sample consisted of 145 healthy individuals from the general community and the clinical sample consisted of 85 individuals with chronic psychiatric disorders. Psychometric properties of the Turkish version of PDD were assessed in the general community and clinical samples. Exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, internal consistency analysis, convergent and discriminant validity analyses were conducted.
Results: As a result of exploratory factor analysis, a two-factor structure for PDD emerged in both the general community and clinical samples. Confirmatory factor analysis also supported the two-factor structure in both samples. These factors were named as Perceived Discrimination and Negative Evaluation and Perceived Acceptance and Non-negative Evaluation subscales. Cronbach's alpha values for PDD were 0.76 in the general community sample and 0.79 in the clinical sample. Alpha values of PDD subscales ranged between 0.72 and 0.77 in both samples. While convergent and discriminant validity tests provided partial support for construct validity of PDD in the general community sample, the convergent validity tests conducted with the clinical sample provided evidence for validity of PDD.
Conclusion: Based on the results of the present study, it has been demonstrated that the Turkish version of PDD is reliable and valid and can be used with community and clinical samples to measure perceived devaluation and discrimination.

Background: This two-stage individual patient data meta-analysis (IPD-MA) compared the efficacy of a shorter duration (≤ 2 days) of vasoactive (VA) drug therapy to standard duration (3-5 days) after acute variceal bleeding (AVB) in patients with liver cirrhosis.
Patients And Methods: Randomized clinical trials on patients with cirrhosis and AVB undergoing endoscopic band ligation which compared a short duration versus the standard duration of VA therapy were included. The primary outcome was 5-day rebleeding rate.

Balanced translocation carriers experience elevated reproductive risks, including pregnancy loss and children with anomalies due to generating chromosomally unbalanced gametes. While understanding the likelihood of producing unbalanced conceptuses is critical for individuals to make reproductive decisions, risk estimates are difficult to obtain as most balanced translocations are unique. To improve reproductive risk estimates, Drs.

Drug use among men is a significant public health concern in China, with compulsory drug treatment centers being the primary approach. Police officers in these centers play a crucial role in shaping the interactions and experiences of men who use drugs (MWUD). However, little research exists on the attitudes of police officers toward MWUD in China.

The outbreak of the Israel-Hamas war on October 7, 2023, has presented unprecedented challenges to older adults' mental health, including increased posttraumatic stress, anxiety, and depression. The current study examined potential war- and age-related factors associated with probable posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), clinical depression (probable depression), and generalized anxiety disorder (probable anxiety) among older adults during the ongoing war. Moreover, due to the continued threat of death, we examined whether death anxiety is an additional contributing factor to older adults' probable PTSD, depression, and anxiety.
