Background: Child advocates, group home and child protection workers report high levels of emotional symptoms and antisocial behavior among teenagers living in group homes. Extant studies is, however, silent on the prevalence of emotional symptoms and its association with teenagers' antisocial behavior in group homes.
Objective: The study aims at examining the association between emotional symptoms and teenagers' antisocial behavior and how prevalent emotional symptoms are among teenagers living in group homes.
Participants And Setting: A total of 875 teenagers living in group homes in Ontario, Canada were included in the study.
Method: Ontario Looking After Children data of cohorts surveyed in 2010-2015 was used for analysis. The data included participants' gender, age, ethnicity, general health status, academic challenges, conduct problems, group home size and emotional symptoms.
Result: Teenagers' emotional symptoms was found to be associated with their antisocial behavior (OR = 2.49, 95 % CI 1.83, 3.39). Sixty-three percent (63 %) of the teenagers experience emotional symptoms of anxiety on regular basis, four out of every 10 of them show depressive symptoms. Majority of them (73.7 %) get nervous when faced with new situations and can lose confidence in such instances and 54.5 % of them could easily get scared in such situations.
Conclusion: Findings suggest that there is a significant association between teenagers' emotional symptoms and their antisocial behavior. Findings also show that there is significant prevalence of emotional symptoms among teenagers in group homes in Ontario. The social and clinical implications make future research into the issue important.

Temporal Dynamics of Affective Scene Processing in the Healthy Adult Human Brain.

Understanding how the brain distinguishes emotional from neutral scenes is crucial for advancing brain-computer interfaces, enabling real-time emotion detection for faster, more effective responses, and improving treatments for emotional disorders like depression and anxiety. However, inconsistent research findings have arisen from differences in study settings, such as variations in the time windows, brain regions, and emotion categories examined across studies. This review sought to compile the existing literature on the timing at which the adult brain differentiates basic affective from neutral scenes in less than one second, as previous studies have consistently shown that the brain can begin recognizing emotions within just a few milliseconds.

Introduction/objective: Emotional, mental, or psychological distress, defined as increased symptoms of depression, anxiety, and/or stress, is common in patients with chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular (CV) disease (CVD).
Methods: Literature was reviewed regarding data from studies and meta-analyses examining the impact of emotional stress on the occurrence and outcome of several CVDs (coronary disease, heart failure, hypertension, arrhythmias, stroke). These influences' pathophysiology and clinical spectrum are detailed, tabulated, and pictorially illustrated.
Borderline personality disorder and moral responsibility.

Université de Genève, Genève, Switzerland.
This paper seeks to determine the extent to which individuals with borderline personality disorders can be held morally responsible for a particular subset of their actions: disproportionate anger, aggressions and displays of temper. The rationale for focusing on these aspects lies in their widespread acknowledgment in the literature and their plausible primary association with blame directed at BPD patients. BPD individuals are indeed typically perceived as "difficult patients" (Sulzer 2015:82; Bodner et al.
