Objective: Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is associated with criminal justice involvement in veterans, but it is unclear how trauma type influences this relationship. The present study examines the impact of combat trauma on the severity and course of PTSD and the relationship with criminogenic needs in justice-involved veterans.
Method: We conducted secondary analysis of data from 287 veterans with a criminal history admitted to mental health residential treatment. Participants completed interviews to assess PTSD symptom severity, criminal history, and criminogenic needs at the start of treatment and at 6 and 12 months. Bivariate analyses were conducted to determine differences between veterans with and without combat trauma on PTSD severity, criminal history, and criminogenic needs. Mixed-effect models were evaluated to assess changes in PTSD symptom severity over time based on trauma type.
Results: At baseline, veterans with combat-related trauma ( = 70; 24.4%) had significantly higher PTSD symptom severity ( = .29, < .05), particularly hyperarousal symptoms ( = .42, < .001), and higher hyperarousal scores at 12 months ( = 0.41, < .05). While PTSD severity decreased over time for both groups, hyperarousal scores for the combat trauma group increased posttreatment from 6 to 12 months. Those with combat-related trauma scored higher on antisocial personality patterns, marked by callousness and aggression but did not differ in other measures of criminogenic needs or their criminal history.
Conclusions: The findings illustrate the need to consider trauma type in future research on the relationship between PTSD and justice involvement in veterans. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved).

Widespread fragmentation shells in combat operations with frequent multiple damage to organs and systems force to use all available diagnostic methods for treating severe injuries including lesion of great vessels of extremities. One of the consequences of these lesions is arteriovenous fistula (AVF). The last one may be asymptomatic at first.

Objective: Children in the Gaza Strip have lived their entire lives with chronic economic and political insecurity punctuated by periodic escalations of overt combat. Clinicians need to learn how children raised in these conditions respond to escalations of threat. This study investigated the prevalence of stress and trauma-related symptoms and functional impairment among young Palestinian children following the May 2021 escalation in Gaza.

Background: Pain is a common complication after combat injuries to the extremities. The role of nerve damage in the development of post-traumatic pain is recognized and described in the literature, superinfection as a potential factor has not been studied sufficiently.
Objective: To establish the relationship between the characteristics of the wound microbiota, the intake of different groups of antibiotics and the development of chronic pain in patients with traumatic injuries of the extremities.

Silicon dioxide nanoparticles (SiO NPs) are a novel material with a wide range of applications whose cumulative effects in the body pose certain health risks. The types of gastric injuries caused by different-sized SiO NPs and their mechanisms, however, remain unclear. Based on this, we established a mouse subchronic exposure model (10 mg/kg/d, 21 consecutive days of tube-feeding) with different SiO NP sizes (50, 300, and 1000 nm) in conjunction with in vitro MC9 and BMMCs models (160 μg/mL exposure for 24 h) to explore the gastric injury mechanisms.

Hemorrhagic control remains a serious concern in emergency medicine and combat trauma management, where achieving rapid hemostasis significantly impacts patient survival outcomes. While conventional interventions including direct manual compression and tourniquet application demonstrate clinical efficacy in routine scenarios, their limitations become apparent when managing catastrophic hemorrhage or anatomically complex injuries. Mineral-based hemostatic agents, particularly clay-derived rapid hemostats, have emerged as a promising therapeutic modality that synergizes ancestral wound management practices with contemporary material engineering.
