Objective: The purpose of this study was to examine course and predictors of fatigue in military personnel deployed to Afghanistan.

Background: Although there is some evidence of the posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) construct’s cross cultural validity, trauma-related disorders may vary across cultures, and the same may be true for treatments that address such conditions. Experienced therapists tailor psychotherapy to each patient’s particular situation, to the nature of the patient’s psychopathology, to the stage of therapy, and so on.

BACKGROUND:

Children living in war zones are at high risk of developing post-traumatic stress and other emotional disorders, but little is known about the effect of traumatic events during war. We aimed to assess the nature and severity of emotional problems in Palestinian children whose homes had been bombarded and demolished during the crisis in Palestine, compared with children living in other parts of the Gaza strip.

Abstract

OBJECTIVE:

Each year approximately 2.5 million Americans are hospitalized after sustaining traumatic physical injuries. Few investigations have comprehensively screened for posttraumatic symptomatic distress or identified predictors of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in representative samples of surgical inpatients.

METHOD:

The current problem with anthrax, a disease of antiquity with a reputation that has exceeded its actual impact on human health, has brought into reality the meaning of bioterrorism. No matter how prepared a population may be, bioterrorism cannot be prevented. The first case or cases will occur and will serve to alert the authorities to initiate the preexisting plan to limit the quantitation of the bioterrorist event.
