Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) patients have a high comorbidity with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Whether PTSD influences the risk of diabetes is still not known. We used GWAS data from European ancestry of PTSD (23,121 cases and 151,447 controls) and T2D (80,154 cases and 853,816 controls) to investigate the bidirectional associations between PTSD and T2D by the Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis. We showed that PTSD was causally associated with higher odds of T2D (OR = 1.04, 95% CI: 1.01-1.06, P = 0.0086), but not vice versa. Our study suggests that PTSD may increase the risk of T2D. PTSD sufferers should be screened for T2D and its precursor known as metabolic syndrome.

Background: Depression, anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are prevalent among healthcare workers (HCWs), including those from sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). However, there are limited summary data on the burden and factors associated with these disorders in this region. We conducted this systematic review (registration no.

Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable (FAIR) data advances are becoming more common and more important across research fields given the large amount of research data in need of synthesis and application. Many novel methods improve the efficiency and accuracy of data reuse, combination, and synthesis, which is necessary given that there are over 500 published randomized controlled trials of posttraumatic stress disorder treatments in adults; however, these methods are still relatively new to the field of traumatic stress research. We provide a brief overview of relevant FAIR data efforts from other fields and within trauma health care and research; share examples of trauma-related FAIR data efforts to demonstrate recent advances and challenges; and suggest potential next steps to continue making trauma data more FAIR.

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a debilitating mental health condition stemming from exposure to traumatic events. Current treatment for PTSD is limited to the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, which are often associated with severe side effects and result in poor treatment adherence and limited effectiveness. Recent studies indicate that indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) may play a significant role in the development of stress-related disorders.

Background: Though post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can result from violent trauma, another trajectory is possible-post-traumatic growth (PTG). Studies of PTG find correlations with better mental and physical health in addition to less substance abuse.
Objective: This study aimed to fill a gap in the literature by determining levels of post-traumatic growth in victims of penetrating trauma.

Background: Many children and adolescents who undergo solid organ transplants (SOT) develop post-traumatic stress (PTS) symptoms. Despite its prevalence and strong association with long-term impairments in quality of life, PTS is often overlooked as a major co-morbidity in many transplant programs. To address this unmet need, the purpose of this study was to explore the factors that impede or facilitate awareness of PTS, access to resources, and readiness to engage with mental health services.
