Article Abstract
During the pandemic, there has been evidence of work limitations during telework, which are believed to cause mental health problems. Our objective was to assess the association between perceived work limitations during telework and posttraumatic stress during the COVID-19 pandemic in Latin America. A cross-sectional study was conducted in Latin America in 2020. Exposure was measured by self-reporting using a self-perception questionnaire; the SPRINT-E questionnaire was used for outcome measurements. Generalized linear models were applied. Of 1329 participants, 15.2% (n = 202) had posttraumatic stress. In a multivariate analysis, the highest frequency of posttraumatic stress was found among those with moderate depression or more (PR = 1.29; 95% CI: 1.03-1.61), moderate or more anxiety (PR = 2.34; 95% CI: 1.61-3.41), and moderate or more stress (PR = 2.45; 95% CI: 1.46-4.12). In conclusion, there is an association between perceived work limitations during telework and posttraumatic stress in Latin American workers. For this reason, it is recommended that occupational physicians, companies, and institutions assess the frequency of posttraumatic stress and monitor the mental health of workers.

Osteochondromas are the most common benign bone tumors and are frequently discovered incidentally in the metaphyseal regions of long bones during growth. While typically asymptomatic, they may occasionally lead to complications such as neurovascular impingement, mechanical irritation, or pathological fractures. Salter-Harris type II fractures represent the most frequent physeal injuries in pediatric populations, particularly in rapidly growing regions like the distal femur.

Introduction: Preventive measures have been implemented in hospitals during COVID-19, but how these guidelines affected mental health among healthcare workers (HCWs) remains to be determined. On another note, reliable psychological and blood-based markers are needed to promptly identify HCWs at-risk to develop distress. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) originating from brain cross the blood-brain barrier and are detectable in blood, giving them a highly valuable potential for biomarker discovery.

Hemophilia is a bleeding disorder characterized by recurrent bleeding into muscles and joints. Many people with hemophilia experience multiple traumatic painful bleeding episodes, meaning that pain is often a significant problem for people with hemophilia, with a potentially high prevalence of posttraumatic stress and posttraumatic stress disorder symptoms. Current pain treatments are often ineffective and do not consider pain memories, which are experienced by almost half of people with posttraumatic stress disorder and which has not been explored in people with hemophilia.

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.
