Understanding the Fluctuations in Korea's Suicide Rates: A Change-Point Analysis and Interrupted Time Series Analysis
CONCLUSION: The marked fluctuations in Korea's suicide rate during the 2000s may be largely attributed to improvements in suicide classification, with potential implications beyond socio-economic factors. These findings suggest that the actual prevalence of suicides in Korea in the 2000s might have been considerably higher than officially reported.PMID:38599599 | PMC:PMC11004772 | DOI:10.3346/jkms.2024.39.e125 (Source: J Korean Med Sci)

Social support and suicidality during the COVID-19 pandemic among Brazilian healthcare workers: a longitudinal assessment of an online repeated cross-sectional survey
CONCLUSION: Social support is associated with a lower chance of suicidality among HCWs, a protective role that is probably more evident for suicidal behavior.PMID:38598451 | DOI:10.47626/1516-4446-2023-3466 (Source: Revista Brasileira de Psiquiatria)

Emerging effects of temperature on human cognition, affect, and behaviour
Biol Psychol. 2024 Apr 8:108791. doi: 10.1016/j.biopsycho.2024.108791. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTHuman body core temperature is tightly regulated within approximately 37°C. Global near surface temperature has increased by over 1.2°C between 1850 and 2020. In light of the challenge this poses to human thermoregulation, the present perspective article sought to provide an overview on the effects of varying ambient and body temperature on cognitive, affective, and behavioural domains of functioning. To this end, an overview of observational and experimental studies in healthy individuals and individuals with mental diso...

Picturing self-harm: Investigating flash-forward mental imagery as a proximal and modifiable driver of non-suicidal self-injury

A pilot study examining hemomania behaviors in psychiatry outpatients engaged with nonsuicidal self ‐injury
ConclusionHemomania could be considered a specific impulse control disorder, characterized by heightened impulsivity and a persistent urge to obtain one's own blood. However, further studies are needed to validate this hypothesis. (Source: Brain and Behavior)

News media coverage of LGBT identities over 10 years in a 400-million-word corpus
ConclusionsPractically, we presented a decade-long barometer of LGBT sentiments and themes on a national level, providing a framework to analyze media for more effective communication strategies —applicable to Commonwealth countries with similar inherited colonial laws. Salient repetition through media association may unwittingly frame certain issues negatively; caution is prudent in representing each sub-group adequately, rather than portraying the LGBT identity as monolithic.

Determination of lamotrigine in human plasma by HPLC-PDA. Application to forensic samples
ConclusionA new HPLC method for the determination of lamotrigine in human plasma was developed and validated. A liquid-liquid extraction using small volumes of buffer and ethylacetate was optimized. The proposed method is suitable for forensic toxicological analysis. (Source: Forensic Science, Medicine, and Pathology)
