Background: In spite of the major role of early maladaptive schemas in vulnerability to various psychological disorders, studies about the relationship between early maladaptive schemas and insomnia disorder are scarce. Hence, the aim of the current study was to explore the contribution of early maladaptive schemas in insomnia severity by comparing a sample of patients with chronic insomnia and good sleepers.
Methods: Patients with chronic insomnia and good sleepers were evaluated using Young Schema Questionnaire-Short Form (YSQ-SF), Depression Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS-21), and Insomnia Severity Index (ISI).
Results: The study enrolled 117 patients with chronic insomnia and 76 good sleepers. All early maladaptive schemas (EMSs) except for enmeshment showed significant correlations with insomnia severity. After controlling for depression/anxiety symptoms, logistic regression analysis showed that the EMSs including emotional deprivation, vulnerability to harm, and subjugation schemas were significantly associated with insomnia severity.
Conclusions: These preliminary findings suggest that EMSs may constitute a vulnerability factor for developing insomnia. Early maladaptive schemas may require attention in the existing treatments of insomnia.

Objectives: To compare the maternal hemodynamic profile at 12 + 0 to 15 + 6 weeks' gestation in women who subsequently developed pre-eclampsia (PE) and those who did not, and to assess the screening performance of maternal hemodynamic parameters for PE in combination with the Fetal Medicine Foundation (FMF) triple test, including maternal factors (MF), mean arterial pressure (MAP), uterine artery pulsatility index and placental growth factor.
Methods: This was a prospective case-control study involving Chinese women with a singleton pregnancy who underwent preterm PE screening at 11 + 0 to 13 + 6 weeks' gestation using the FMF triple test, between February 2020 and February 2023. Women identified as being at high risk (≥ 1:100) for preterm PE by the FMF triple test were matched 1:1 with women identified as low risk (< 1:100) for maternal age ± 3 years, maternal weight ± 5 kg and date of screening ± 14 days.

Early life trauma has been shown to facilitate habitual behavior, which may predispose individuals toward perpetuating maladaptive behaviors. However, previous investigations did not account for other traumatic childhood experiences like racial/ethnic discrimination exposure, nor have they examined the interaction of trauma and habits on real-world adverse outcomes. To examine these effects, we recruited 96 young adults (20.

Background: Early interventions for young children with autism have been shown to enhance developmental outcomes. However, opportunities for targeted interventions in autism, both in care and preschool, are often lacking, particularly in immigrant communities. The early start denver model (ESDM) stands as one of the most well-established intervention models, including improvement in core developmental domains and reduction of maladaptive behaviours, also delivered in preschool settings.

Early-life adversity during pre- and early post-natal phases can impact brain development and lead to maladaptive changes in executive behaviors. This increases the risk for a range of psychopathologies and physical diseases. Importantly, exposure to adversities during these periods is also linked to alterations in the orbito-frontal cortex (OFC) which is a key player in these executive functions.
