Bereaved families are still embittered after the Sewol ferry accident in Korea: a follow-up study 18 and 30 months after the disaster
The Sewol ferry accident that occurred in April 2014 was one of the most tragic human-made disasters in Korean history. Due to the deaths of hundreds of children, bereaved families likely feel embittered; however, there is little extant research documenting embitterment among those who experienced the disaster. Consequently, we investigated bereaved family members ’ embitterment and other psychiatric symptoms 18 months and 30 months after the disaster. (Source: Comprehensive Psychiatry)

Abnormal Perceptual Sensitivity in Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviors
Several compulsive grooming habits such as hair pulling, skin picking, and nail biting are collectively known as body-focused repetitive behaviors (BFRBs). Although subclinical BFRBs are common and benign, more severe and damaging manifestations exist that are difficult to manage. Researchers have suggested that BFRBs are maintained by various cognitive, affective, and sensory contingencies. Although the involvement of cognitive and affective processes in BFRBs has been studied, there is a paucity of research on sensory processes. (Source: Comprehensive Psychiatry)

Association analysis of SLC6A4 and HTR2A genes with obsessive-compulsive disorder: influence of the STin2 polymorphism
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a complex and chronic disorder characterized by recurrent thoughts and/or repetitive behaviors. Given the potent anti-obsessional effects of the so-called serotonin reuptake inhibitors, genes related to serotonergic system may be well implicated in the etiopathogenesis of OCD. The gene encoding the serotonin transporter (SLC6A4), which shows a variable number of tandem repeat (VNTR) polymorphism in intron 2 (STin2), have been previously associated with OCD.
