The propensity to acquire and retain conditioned fear responses may contribute the risk of developing maintaining posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) following a traumatic event. There is growing evidence that gonadal hormones estrogen progesterone are associated with how well women extinction previously responses. Thus, sex steroid effects increased prevalence PTSD in women. For current study, 32 nonmedicated female trauma survivors without completed differential conditioning task both...
The 4-item Hurt/Insult/Threaten/Scream (HITS) tool accurately detects past-year intimate partner violence (IPV) among female Veterans Health Administration (VHA) patients; however, it lacks a sexual IPV item. This study evaluated the accuracy of an extended HITS (E-HITS), which adds item, in VHA patients. A sample 80 U.S. veteran patients New England completed mail survey (50.0% response rate) that included 5-item E-HITS and Revised Conflict Tactics Scales (CTS-2). Women were if they...
Establishing whether men and women tend to express different symptoms of posttraumatic stress in reaction trauma is important for both etiological research the design assessment instruments. Use item response theory (IRT) can reveal how symptom reporting varies by gender help determine if estimates severity are equally reliable. We analyzed responses PTSD Checklist (PCL) from 2,341 U.S. military veterans (51% female) who completed deployments support operations Afghanistan Iraq (Operation...
Data mining of treatment study results can reveal unforeseen but critical insights, such as who receives the most benefit from and under what circumstances. The usefulness legitimacy exploratory data analysis have received relatively little recognition, however, analytic methods well suited to task are not widely known in psychology. With roots computer science statistics, statistical learning approaches offer a credible option: These take more inductive approach building model than is done...
Suicide rates among recent veterans have led to interest in risk identification. Evidence of gender‐and trauma‐specific predictors suicidal ideation necessitates the use advanced computational methods capable elucidating these important and complex associations. In this study, we used machine learning examine gender‐specific associations between predeployment military factors, traumatic deployment experiences, psychopathology (SI) a national sample deployed during Iraq Afghanistan conflicts...
Abstract Prior research has examined the independent effects of demographic and military characteristics, trauma history, coping resources on veterans’ health. However, there is limited knowledge how these factors intersect with one another health to impact their broader well‐being as they readjust civilian life. Data for this study were drawn from a longitudinal investigation U.S. veterans ( N = 7150) who had recently left service. Machine learning analyses (random forests regression trees)...
Several studies have demonstrated poor retention of extinction learning among individuals with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Gonadal hormone signaling in brain appears to influence the differently women and without PTSD. Women PTSD, compared trauma-exposed show relative deficits during mid-luteal phase (mLP) menstrual cycle, early follicular (eFP). A PTSD-related reduction conversion progesterone its GABAergic metabolites allopregnanolone (Allo) pregnanolone (PA) may contribute these...
Veterans who experienced sexual assault or harassment during military service (known as trauma [MST]) present with diverse health care needs and barriers to accessing services. Over the past 20 years, U.S. Department of Affairs (VA) has developed implemented MST-specific services respond those challenges. The authors summarize 9 recommendations learned from VA's initiatives that may be helpful for non-VA systems interested in developing enhancing their own MST. First, they recommend creating...

The tricyclic antidepressants, while older, still have their place in the treatment of depression today. They are efficacious but less selective and thus potential eliciting many side effects. Anticholinergic delirium is a complication when using antidepressant or other anticholinergic agent. Following Naranjo algorithm, this case report describes probable amitriptyline-induced previously healthy, 36-year-old Caucasian male individual after he promptly resumed his nightly 200-mg...
Abstract The 4 comments on the review by Resick et al. ( 2012 ) of complex posttraumatic stress disorder (CPTSD) literature highlight important theoretical and conceptual questions about nature utility CPTSD echo very that motivated review. We discuss points raised in comments, particularly with respect to definition CPTSD, its relationship PTSD, treatment implications. suggest setting high scientific standards for research is an optimal way advance conceptualization construct this population.
Background: The women Veteran population accessing Veterans Health Administration (VA) care has grown rapidly. Women exhibit high rates of mental health conditions that increase coronary artery disease (CAD) risk; however, the relationship between specific and increasing burden to CAD in this is unknown. Materials Methods: Using VA National Patient Care Data for 2009, we identified over 45 (N = 157,195). Logistic regression models examined different diagnoses (number diagnostic clusters) as...
The late-nineteenth century was a time of Protestant missionary enthusiasm for the “great closed land” Tibet. Their prodigious, oftentimes proto-ethnographic, writings continue to provide scholars with archives that document perspectives on Inner Asian society and religion, but few sources have yet emerged allow these be read alongside Tibetan accounts Christian-Buddhist encounters. This article undertakes such parallel reading four an unsuccessful attempt by British Cecil Polhill convert...
