We surveyed = 84 mental health care providers (i.e., psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers) working across two Veterans Affairs health care sites about their experiences working with Veteran patients with antagonism-based clinical presentations (e.g., callous, aggressive, grandiose features), as well as negative affect-based clinical presentations (e.g., depressive, anxious, self-conscious features). Providers reported on aspects of these clinical interactions, including assessments and interventions used, treatment outcomes, interpersonal experiences, and training and preparedness to treat this type of presentation in the future. Compared to treatment experiences with patients with predominant negative affect, providers reported that treatment experiences with antagonistic (ANT) patients tended to be shorter ( = -.60), less effective at improving psychological functioning ( = -.61), more emotionally draining ( = 1.03), and more often marked by relationship ruptures (instance of ≥1 rupture = 72.6% vs. 15.5%). Providers also reported less professional training to treat antagonism ( = -1.56) and less preparedness to treat ANT patients in the future ( = -1.81). These results highlight the important role of patient characteristics in providers' experiences and underscore the need for more training and resources to support mental health providers working with ANT patients.

External delay and dispersion correction of automatically sampled arterial blood with dual flow rates.
Biomed Phys Eng Express
January 2025
Brain Health Imaging Centre, Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, B68-250 College St, Toronto, Ontario, M5T 1R8, CANADA.
Objective: Arterial sampling for PET imaging often involves continuously measuring the radiotracer activity concentration in blood using an automatic blood sampling system (ABSS). We proposed and validated an external delay and dispersion correction procedure needed when a change in flow rate occurs during data acquisition. We also measured the external dispersion constant of [11C]CURB, [18F]FDG, [18F]FEPPA, and [18F]SynVesT-1.

AI systems provide support in several domains of mental health, including early detection, diagnostics, treatment, and self-care. The use of AI systems in care flows faces several challenges in relation to decision-making support, stemming from technology, end-user, and organizational perspectives with the AI disruption of care processes.
