Article Abstract

The present article addresses claims commonly made by prosecution witnesses in sexual assault trials: that attention narrows under stress, and that these attended aspects of the event are encoded in a way that ensures accuracy and resistance to fading and distortion. We provide evidence to contradict such claims. Given that what is encoded is largely the gist of one's interpretation of experience, we discuss the way in which attention and emotion can bias the interpretation of experience. We illustrate with issues of memory reports in cases of acquaintance rape, where the primary issue is the presence or absence of consent. We provide some specific illustrations concerning effects of emotion on interpretation of sexual consent. Finally, based on what is known regarding priming effects on memory retrieval and judgment, we conclude with discussion of the potential of some "trauma-informed" interviewing strategies to promote false memories (such as FETI: Forensic Experiential Trauma Interview).

MD, 100 Grays Lane, PH-698, Haverford, PA, 19041, USA.

This paper elucidates the subjective experience of 'deadness.' Categorizing it into melancholic (due to pervasive ego inhibitions secondary to guilt) and schizoid (due to the internalization of profound early neglect) types, the paper describes the manifestations of deadness in the realms of self-experience, interpersonal relations, and attitudes towards life and death. It also outlines therapeutic strategies to ameliorate 'deadness.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between operative time (OT) and post-operative outcomes in complex endovascular aortic repair and to explore contributing factors to OT.

Methods: This retrospective, observational cohort study analysing data from a single centre included patients undergoing fenestrated endovascular aortic repair (FEVAR), branched endovascular aortic repair (BEVAR), or arch branched endovascular aortic repair (aBEVAR) from February 2018 to December 2024.

Background: Baricitinib has previously been shown to improve clinical response in patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) in the JUVE-BASIS trial. In this post-hoc analysis we aimed to identify whether pharmacodynamic changes in serum biomarkers in response to baricitinib treatment could help reaffirm the clinical utility of baricitinib in patients with JIA.

Methods: JUVE-BASIS was a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, withdrawal, efficacy, safety, phase 3 trial, done in 75 centres in 20 countries.

Background: Allopurinol, the most prescribed urate-lowering drug, is a known cause of severe cutaneous adverse reactions. We aimed to develop and validate a model to assess the risk of allopurinol-induced severe cutaneous adverse reactions in adults newly prescribed allopurinol.

Methods: In this retrospective new-user cohort study, we developed and validated a prognostic model using primary care, hospitalisation, and mortality data extracted from the UK Clinical Practice Research Datalink (CPRD) primary care database, for the period Jan 1, 2001, to March 29, 2021.
