Veterans With PTSD May Benefit From Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation Plus Virtual Reality
Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) may augment virtual reality –guided exposure therapy for veterans with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), according tofindings published yesterday inJAMA Psychiatry. In the study, veterans with war zone –related trauma had significantly greater improvements in PTSD symptoms when receiving virtual reality combined with tDCS compared with veterans who received virtual reality and sham stimulation.Mascha van ’t Wout-Frank, Ph.D., of the VA Providence (R.I.) Healthcare System and colleagues recruited 54 participants (94% male; mean age 46 years) from the system who had PT...

IJERPH, Vol. 21, Pages 292: Developing a Collaborative Approach to Support Access and Acceptability of Mental Health Care for Refugee Youth: An Exploratory Case Study with Young Afghan Refugees
This study aims to explore how a collaborative approach can be implemented to promote access to specialized mental health care. Collaborative mental health care embeds specialized intervention in primary care settings and emphasizes the inclusion of minority cultural perspectives through an interdisciplinary, intersectoral network. In this study, we analyze how such a collaborative approach can support access to specialized mental health care for refugee youth. The study presents findings from a qualitative multiple-case study (n = 10 refugee patients), conducted in the setting of a psychiatric day program for young refuge...

Serious Brain Injuries Tied to Higher Brain Cancer Risk in US Veterans
Moderate or severe traumatic brain injuries (TBIs), along with penetrating TBIs, were linked with a higher risk of brain cancer among US veterans who served in the Afghanistan and Iraq wars, a cohort study of 1.9 million veterans found. The data came from medical records from 2004 to 2019. (Source: JAMA - Journal of the American Medical Association)

Foot-and-mouth disease virus dynamics in border areas of Pakistan with Afghanistan
CONCLUSIONS: The study found that FMD outbreaks in the border area of Pakistan and Afghanistan were diverse and complicated, and that different types of FMDV were circulating. The study recommended effective actions to stop FMD transmission in this area.PMID:38411732 | DOI:10.1007/s11033-024-09262-6 (Source: Molecular Biology Reports)

Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSoldiers deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan have a higher prevalence of respiratory symptoms than non-deployed military personnel and some have been shown to have a constellation of findings on lung biopsy termed post-deployment respiratory syndrome (PDRS). Since many of the subjects in this cohort reported exposure to sulfur dioxide (SO2), we developed a model of repetitive exposure to SO2 in mice that phenocopies many aspects of PDRS, including adaptive immune activation, airway wall remodeling, and pulmonary vas...

Post-marketing surveillance of intussusception after Rotarix administration in Afghanistan, 2018-2022
CONCLUSION: Rotarix vaccination was not associated with an increased intussusception risk, supporting its continued use in Afghanistan's immunization program. However, there was a high level of death and resection due to intussusception among Afghan infants.PMID:38413278 | DOI:10.1016/j.vaccine.2024.02.057 (Source: Vaccine)
