INTRODUCTION The aim of this study was to determine the long-term prevalence of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptomology in patients following secondary peritonitis and to determine whether the prevalence of PTSD-related symptoms differed between patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) and patients admitted only to the surgical ward. METHOD A retrospective cohort of conse...

Intracellular iron reportedly mediates many forms of tissue injury, including ischemic and myohemoglobinuric acute renal failure. This action may be explained by the ability of iron to catalyze the formation of the highly toxic hydroxyl radical (.OH) from H2O2 via the Fenton/Haber-Weiss reactions. To assess whether renal tubular myoglobin/iron loading, induced by a physiological mechanism (endo...

Background: Natural disasters may have a serious impact on child and adolescent mental health. High rates of post-traumatic stress symptoms (PTSS), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and, to a lesser degree, associated psychopathology following natural disasters have been reported in many countries, including Greece. It has been suggested that whether or not youths will report PTSS/PTSD afte...

Abstract Background Given its global spread, the COVID-19 virus infection itself may be experienced as a traumatic and stressful event among survivors. The post-traumatic stress symptoms (PTSS) those surviving disease were under evaluated. This study aimed to identify compare PTSS associated correlates survivors control subjects. A cross-sectional design with convenience sampling included total...

Dynamic trajectories of psychopathology, such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) provide a key to understanding human adjustment processes after trauma exposure. Recent studies have suggested more heterogeneous mental health outcomes than the initially identified four trajectories. To explore this heterogeneity, we investigated after-trauma patterns psychopathology based on retrospective ...

Self-help treatments are an important intervention tool, with high accessibility and ease of application. To our knowledge, no research has previously been conducted on any self-help derived from eye movement desensitization reprocessing (EMDR) therapy. In this study, we evaluated the mental health status children not directly affected by pandemic investigated effects using EMDR-derived in as a...
