Exploring women's experiences in a midwifery continuity of care model following a traumatic birth
CONCLUSION: Offering midwifery continuity of care models to women with a history of psychological birth trauma can be beneficial. More research is necessary to confirm the findings of this small study, and on ways women who have psychological birth trauma can be prioritised for midwifery continuity of care models in Australia.PMID:36774286 | DOI:10.1016/j.wombi.2023.01.006 (Source: Women Birth)

Medical cannabis for treatment-resistant combat PTSD
Targeting the endocannabinoid system may have a role in the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). However, few studies have examined the effectiveness of cannabis on symptoms of PTSD, and more research is needed to ascertain cannabis’ effectiveness. In this retrospective naturalistic study, we followed 14 relatively mature (32-68 years of age), treatment-resistant, chronic combat post-traumatic patients who remained severely symptomatic despite treatment with many lines of conventional treatment prior to receiving medicinal cannabis. Our findings show that total sleep score, subjective sleep quality, and sl...

Howl: Nightmare or REM Sleep Behavior Disorder?
We present the case of a 41-year-old man referred for vivid and unpleasant dreams, beginning in the last year, related to work stress. Results The polysomnography showed the loss of atony in the REM phase and emission of a prolonged howl after which the patient continues in the REM phase. Discussion Prolonged howling is a very rare symptom in sleep disorders, and very atypical in RSBD, so polysomnography is essential to confirm the diagnosis and rule out other parasomnias.

Predicting impactful dreams: The contributions of absence-related melancholy and absence-related depression.
Dreaming, Vol 33(2), Jun 2023, 164-186; doi:10.1037/drm0000234Distressing life events precipitate disturbing dreams in several forms (e.g., nightmares, sleep terrors). Although research has focused on nightmares, some studies have differentiated three types of impactful dreams: nightmares, existential dreams, and transcendent dreams (Kuiken et al., 2006; Lee & Kuiken, 2015). In two studies, we examined whether contrasting forms of response to distressing life events (absence-related depression and absence-related melancholy) differentially predict these dream types. In an initial in-laboratory session, participants describ...
