Substance use during pregnancy and risk of postpartum depression: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Introduction: Postpartum depression (PPD) is a prevalent mental health condition affecting women globally within the first year following childbirth. Substance use during pregnancy has been associated with an increased risk of developing PPD, but the evidence remains inconclusive. This meta-analysis aims to comprehensively assess the effects of different substances on PPD risk, exploring potential modifiers and confounding factors.

Relationship between elimination disorders and internalizing-externalizing problems in children: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Elimination disorders are highly prevalent in childhood and often associated with clinically relevant comorbid psychological disorders. The aim of this study is to determine if, and to what extent, children with elimination disorders show higher internalizing and externalizing problems than their healthy peers.

Methods: A multistep literature search was performed from database inception until May 1st, 2022.

Longitudinal change in neurocognitive functioning in children and adolescents at clinical high risk for psychosis: a systematic review.

Clinical high risk of psychosis (CHR-P) population has become an attractive area of interest in preventing transitions to psychosis. The consequences of developing a psychotic disorder may be worse in cases of early onset. Thus, childhood and adolescence represent a critical developmental window, where opportunities to gain social and adaptive abilities depend on the individuals' neurocognitive performance.

Microwave-Driven Exfoliation of Bulk 2H-MoS after Acetonitrile Prewetting Produces Large-Area Ultrathin Flakes with Exceptionally High Yield.

2D materials display exciting properties in numerous fields, but the development of applications is hindered by the low yields, high processing times, and impaired quality of current exfoliation methods. In this work we have used the excellent MW absorption properties of MoS to induce a fast heating that produces the near-instantaneous evaporation of an adsorbed, low boiling point solvent. The sudden evaporation creates an internal pressure that separates the MoS layers with high efficiency, and these are kept separated by the action of the dispersion solvent.

Prolactin and morning cortisol concentrations in antipsychotic naïve first episode psychosis: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Importance: Alterations in prolactin and cortisol levels have been reported in antipsychotic naïve patients with first episode psychosis (FEP). However, it has been studied in very small samples, and inter-group variability has never been studied before.

Objective: To provide estimates of standardized mean differences (SMD) and inter-group variability for prolactin, cortisol awakening response (CAR) and morning cortisol concentrations in antipsychotic naïve FEP (AN-FEP) patients and healthy controls (HC).

Psychological impact of COVID-19 lockdown on a population with serious mental illness. A prospective cohort study.

Introduction: COVID-19 has spread worldwide since its appearance at the end of 2019. In Spain, 99-day long home confinement was set from March 15th 2020. Previous studies about events requiring situations of isolation suggested that mental health problems may occur among the general population and, more specifically, vulnerable groups such as individuals with serious mental illness (SMI).

COVID-19 pandemic effects on health worker's mental health: Systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Healthcare workers (HCWs) exposed to coronavirus 19 (COVID-19) are at high risk of developing mental health concerns across several domains. The aim of this study is to determine the updated, global frequency of these outcomes.

Methods: A multistep literature search was performed from database inception until March 1, 2021.
