Cognitive processing therapy (CPT) versus individual drug counseling (IDC) for PTSD for veterans with opioid use disorder maintained on buprenorphine
CONCLUSIONS: Veterans with OUD and PTSD can safely and effectively participate in evidence-based therapy for PTSD; further work should confirm that trauma-focused treatment may be more effective in leading to sustained remission of PTSD symptoms than drug counseling.SCIENTIFIC SIGNIFICANCE: This is the first study to evaluate CPT for PTSD in the context of buprenorphine treatment for OUD.PMID:38624259 | DOI:10.1111/ajad.13557 (Source: The American Journal on Addictions)

Pediatric traumatic brain injury and early age multiple sclerosis in Finland: A nationwide register ‐based cohort study
There is no evidence of an association between pediatric traumatic brain injuty (pTBI) and early-onset multiple sclerosis 20 years post-initial trauma.Hazard ratio (HR) for pTBI was 1.10 (95% CI: 0.56-1.48). AbstractObjectiveExamine the link between pediatric traumatic brain injury (pTBI) and early-onset multiple sclerosis in Finland.MethodsConducted nationwide register study (1998 −2018) with 28,750 pTBI patients (<  18) and 38,399 pediatric references with extremity fractures.

Midlife diseases of despair and cardiometabolic risk: testing shared origins in adolescent psychopathology
CONCLUSIONS: Adolescent psychopathology precedes both diseases of despair and cardiometabolic risk. Prevention and treatment of psychopathology may mitigate multiple causes of poor midlife health, reducing premature mortality.PMID:38618989 | DOI:10.1017/S0033291724000916 (Source: Psychological Medicine)

Higher risk—less data: A systematic review and meta-analysis on the role of sex and gender in trauma research.
Journal of Psychopathology and Clinical Science, Vol 133(3), Apr 2024, 257-272; doi:10.1037/abn0000899Women and men are at different risk for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). It is unclear, however, how studies on PTSD risk factors integrate this knowledge into their research. Moreover, the temporal development of women’s higher PTSD risk is unknown. In this systematic review and meta-analysis, we examine how prospective studies on PTSD development (k = 47) consider sex and gender across four domains (samples, terminology, analyses, and reporting). Further, we differentially analyze sex/gender differences within fiv...
