Article Abstract
Background: Significant exposure to critical incidents characteristic of military police work has a potentially traumatic effect and multiple consequences for the mental health of these professionals, such as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). This study aims to investigate the occurrence of PTSD in this occupational group and its correlations with socio-demographic and occupational variables.
Methods: This is a cross-sectional study of Rio de Janeiro's Military Police officers ( = 3.577). Data was collected from self-reported questionnaires applied in an institutional health program. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Checklist-Civilian version was used to assess PTSD.
Results: Rates of 16.9% for full PTSD and 26.7% for partial PTSD were found. Based on logistic regression analysis, female officers and police officers in lower ranks of the military hierarchy and performing administrative duties were found to be at most risk of developing PTSD.
Conclusions: These results suggest the need to further understand the predictive organizational and individual variables of PTSD correlated with the increased vulnerability of professionals in order to contribute to institutional policies for the prevention and rehabilitation of these cases.

Department of Psychological Medicine, Sydney Children's Hospitals Network, Sydney, NSW, Australia.
Objective: Art therapy offers a predominantly non-verbal form of creative self-expression for people experiencing mental health issues. This systematic review aims to investigate the effectiveness and acceptability of art therapy for children and adolescents experiencing acute or severe mental health conditions.
Methods: Following PRISMA guidelines, five electronic databases were searched (Embase, MEDLINE, Web of Science Core Collection, PsychINFO, CINAHL) using the search terms ('art therap*' OR 'art psychotherap*') AND ('child*' OR 'adolescen*' OR 'youth' OR 'young' OR 'teen*').
Evaluating Telepsychiatric Assessment Satisfaction in Children and Adolescents With Autism Spectrum Disorder and Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder and Their Caregivers: Randomized Controlled Trial.

Background: Children and adolescents with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) often face structural and psychological barriers in accessing medical care, including economic costs, long wait times, and stress of attending new medical environments. The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the adoption of telehealth services to overcome these challenges. However, few studies have assessed the satisfaction levels of children and adolescents diagnosed with neurodevelopmental disorders and their caregivers when they use telepsychiatry, particularly in Japan.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by cognitive impairment, synaptic dysfunction, and neuronal loss. Neuroinflammation, driven by the activation of microglia and astrocytes, is a key contributor to AD pathology, amplifying oxidative stress and amyloid-β toxicity. Modulation of neuroinflammatory pathways thus represents a promising therapeutic strategy.

Chlorpromazine (CPZ) is a first-generation antipsychotic that has been widely used to treat an array of neurological conditions, including schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and anxiety. Treatment of these chronic conditions with CPZ has been linked to elevated levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS), and accumulating evidence supports a link between ROS and chronic and degenerative pathologies, including cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, the aim of this study was to observe the presence of oxidative stress in porcine aortic endothelial cells (PAE) exposed to different concentrations of CPZ in vitro.

Background: Complex post-traumatic stress disorder (C-PTSD) has been included in the International Classification of Diseases 11th Revision (ICD-11) to capture symptomatology caused by extreme, prolonged, or multiple forms of trauma.
Aims: The present systematic review and meta-analysis sought to assess the one-month prevalence of this disorder in the community setting.
Method: A systematic search was conducted in four databases (Google Scholar, PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus) where relevant studies were subjected to explicit eligibility criteria, resulting in 16 included studies and 22 effect sizes.
