Copy number variants (CNVs) are known to be associated with complex neuropsychiatric disorders (e.g., schizophrenia and autism) but have not been explored in the isolated features of aggressive behaviors such as intermittent explosive disorder (IED). IED is characterized by recurrent episodes of aggression in which individuals act impulsively and grossly out of proportion from the involved stre...

OBJECTIVE Intermittent explosive disorder is common, begins early in life, and is associated with considerable impairment in the United States. The epidemiology of IED outside the United States is unknown. We examined the prevalence and correlates of IED in Iraq, where exposure to violence has been widespread during the last three decades. METHOD Data were drawn from a national survey of the ...

We compared two groups of aggressive drivers, those who met criteria for Intermittent Explosive Disorder (IED) (n=10) and comparable aggressive drivers who did not meet IED criteria (n=20), to a group of non-aggressive driving controls (n=20) on measures of psychological distress, anger, hostility, and Type A behavior as well as measures of aggressive driving and driving anger and their driving...

Aims of the study: The goals of this paper are to provide preliminary data on the composition of the mite community in truffle-producing soils (both wild and plantations), and to elucidate those species which may interact with the black truffle life cycle. Area of study: The study was carried out in two black truffle productive zones in Navarra (Spain), in four different plantations and five wi...

Intramural esophageal dissection (IED) is a rare clinical entity involving a mucosal injury and creation of a true and false lumen within the esophagus. We report on a case of IED caused by repeated vomiting due to a small bowel obstruction associated with a small amount of pneumomediastinum on CT. IED has traditionally been believed not to be associated with esophageal perforation. Our case ad...

This study examined the prevalence of intermittent explosive disorder (IED) and its associations with trauma exposure, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and other psychiatric diagnoses in a sample of trauma-exposed veterans (n=232) with a high prevalence of PTSD. Structural associations between IED and latent dimensions of internalizing and externalizing psychopathology were also modeled to...

A disorder of impulsive aggression has been in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual for Mental Disorders (DSM) since the first edition. In DSM-III, this disorder was codified as Intermittent Explosive Disorder (IED) and was thought to be rare. However, DSM criteria for IED were poorly operationalized and empiric research in IED was limited until the past decade when research criteria were deve...

In a study of violent men, 443 symptomatic adult male volunteers were evaluated for presence of intermittent explosive disorder (IED). Investigators first established presence of severe and frequent violent outbursts not readily explainable by another disorder. Seventy-nine violent men were so selected. Of these, 26 had excessive impulsivity, an exclusionary criterion for IED. Twenty-one were e...

El objetivo de la investigación era correlacionar el Indice Percepción Corrupcion(IC) variable (X) y su efecto en Inversion Extranjera Directa(IED) (Y) periodo 2010 al 2022. La hipotesis era: que un mayor Corrupción(IC) es decir transparencia atrae mayores niveles Inversión Directa(IED). Los resultados fueron: a) Ambas variables tienen asimetria positiva (figura 3) 4). b) En analisis 80-20 Pare...
