this study aimed at analyzing the internalized stigma latent profiles and the covariates that predict variations in their levels considering antecedent variables such as ethnicity, gender and some relevant clinical characteristics like premorbid adjustment, Duration of Untreated Psychosis and symptoms. Latent Class Analysis (LCA) was used to devise a solution with three internalized stigma profiles in a sample comprised by 227 patients diagnosed with schizophrenia from the Public Mental Health Centers of the city of Arica, Chile. the results showed that premorbid adjustment is a significant predictor of class belonging for the latent stigma profiles. When analyzing the sociodemographic characteristics and contrary to what was hypothesized, ethnicity was not a relevant predictor of internalized stigma profiles. the latent classification model is suitable for assessing stigma profiles in order to target future interventions in specific foci and at-risk populations.

The management of gout, a condition historically laden with stigma and misconceptions about its underlying causes, stands at a critical juncture. Despite significant advances in understanding its pathophysiology and treatment, gout management remains inconsistent and at odds with prevailing clinical guidelines and evidenced-based standards. This study investigates how inaccurate physician beliefs about gout can bias clinical judgment and contribute to compromised patient care.

Aims: The aim of the present study is to analyse latent profiles of psychological capital and the demographic characteristics of undergraduate nursing students and to explore the relationship between each category and their awareness of occupational stigma.
Background: The conventional external view of nurses and a lack of a sense of professional identity may cause nursing students to leave the field. The psychological qualities of nursing students and how they relate to professional stigma must be studied to eliminate professional stigma through positive psychology.

This study evaluated the antioxidant potential of a three-component mixture derived from Crocus sativus L. stigmas, leaves, and tepals, aiming to valorize these underutilized by-products. Hydroethanolic extracts were chemically profiled using High-Performance Liquid Chromatography with Diode-Array Detection (HPLC-DAD), identifying major bioactive compounds including crocin (11.

The use of long-acting cabotegravir and rilpivirine (LA CAB/RPV) is a novel approach to manage human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). This injectable regimen offers benefits such as an improved quality of life, reduced stigma and enhanced treatment satisfaction by minimising the need for daily medication adherence. This review summarises the findings of clinical trials and real-world studies on the safety, tolerability and metabolic effects of LA CAB/RPV, which are areas that have received less extensive coverage in previous reviews.

Background: Sexually and gender-diverse people are at an increased risk of experiencing depression and anxiety, which has been attributed to minority stress. The aim of this study was to investigate, for the first time, whether sexually and gender-diverse people exhibit altered hair cortisol concentrations, and whether this mediates the effects of minority stress on depression and anxiety.
Methods: N = 328 sexually and gender-diverse people and n = 286 age- and BMI-matched cis-gender heterosexuals from the general Swiss population completed an online survey and collected a hair sample.
