Should Burnout Be Conceptualized as a Mental Disorder?

Author(s): Nadon L; De Beer LT; Morin AJS;

Burnout is generally acknowledged by researchers, clinicians, and the public as a pervasive occupational difficulty. Despite this widespread recognition, longstanding debates remain within the scientific community regarding its definition and the appropriateness of classifying burnout as its own pathological entity. The current review seeks to address whe ...

Changes in Youth Mental Health, Psychological Wellbeing, and Substance Use During the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Rapid Review

Author(s): Zolopa C; Burack JA; O' Connor RM; Corran C; Lai J; Bomfim E; DeGrace S; Dumont J; Larney S; Wendt DC;

Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, researchers around the world have made efforts to assess its impact on youth mental health; however, the breadth of this topic has impeded a clear assessment of pandemic outcomes. This study aimed to address this gap by reviewing changes in youth (age = 2 ...

Maternal exposure to black carbon and nitrogen dioxide during pregnancy and birth weight: Using machine-learning methods to achieve balance in inverse-probability weights

Author(s): Dong S; Abu-Awad Y; Kosheleva A; Fong KC; Koutrakis P; Schwartz JD;

Background: Low birth weight is associated with increased risks of health problems in infancy and later life. Among the epidemiological analyses suggesting an association between air pollution and birth weight, few have estimated the effects of black carbon (BC) or together with nitrogen dioxide (NO2), and even fewer studies have used causal modelling. M ...

Real-world serological responses to extended-interval and heterologous COVID-19 mRNA vaccination in frail, older people (UNCoVER): an interim report from a prospective observational cohort study

Author(s): Vinh DC; Gouin JP; Cruz-Santiago D; Canac-Marquis M; Bernier S; Bobeuf F; Sengupta A; Brassard JP; Guerra A; Dziarmaga R; Perez A; Sun Y; Li Y; Roussel L; Langelier MJ; Ke D; Arnold C; Whelan M; Pelchat M; Langlois MA; Zhang X; Mazer BD;

Background: The use of COVID-19 vaccines has been prioritised to protect the most vulnerable-notably, older people. Because of fluctuations in vaccine availability, strategies such as delayed second dose and heterologous prime-boost have been used. However, the effectiveness of these strategies i ...

Progesterone rapidly alters the use of place and response memory during spatial navigation in female rats

Author(s): Lacasse JM; Patel S; Bailey A; Peronace V; Brake WG;

17ß-Estradiol (E2) and progesterone (P) influence place and response memory in female rats in spatial navigation tasks. Use of these memory systems is associated with the hippocampus and the dorsal striatum, respectively. Injections of E2 result in a well-established bias to use place memory, while much less is understood about the role of P. A total of 1 ...

Validation of an Adapted Version of the Glasgow Anxiety Scale for People with Intellectual Disabilities (GAS-ID)

Author(s): Maïano C; Morin AJS; Gagnon C; Olivier E; Tracey D; Craven RG; Bouchard S;

The objective of the study was to validate adapted versions of the Glasgow Anxiety Scale for people with Intellectual Disabilities (GAS-ID) simultaneously developed in English and French. A sample of 361 youth with mild to moderate intellectual disability (ID) (M = 15.78 years) from Australia (English-speaking) and Canada (French-speaking) participated in ...

Neuropsychological deficits in patients with cognitive complaints after COVID-19

Author(s): García-Sánchez C; Calabria M; Grunden N; Pons C; Arroyo JA; Gómez-Anson B; Lleó A; Alcolea D; Belvís R; Morollón N; Mur I; Pomar V; Domingo P;

Background: While much of the scientific focus thus far has been on cognitive sequelae in patients with severe COVID-19, subjective cognitive complaints are being reported across the spectrum of disease severity, with recent studies beginning to corroborate patients' perceived deficits. In re ...

The rodent medial prefrontal cortex and associated circuits in orchestrating adaptive behavior under variable demands

Author(s): Howland JG; Ito R; Lapish CC; Villaruel FR;

Emerging evidence implicates rodent medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) in tasks requiring adaptation of behavior to changing information from external and internal sources. However, the computations within mPFC and subsequent outputs that determine behavior are incompletely understood. We review the involvement of mPFC subregions, and their projections to th ...

Development of the Japanese Version of the State Self-Compassion Scale (SSCS-J)

Author(s): Miyagawa Y; Tóth-Király I; Knox MC; Taniguchi J; Niiya Y;

Research in the U.S. developed and validated the State Self-Compassion Scale (SSCS), which measures self-compassionate reactions toward a specific negative event. The current study is aimed at developing the Japanese version of the State Self-Compassion Scale (SSCS-J) and extending previous findings in the U.S. by showing measurement invariance across sex ...

Thermoregulatory significance of immobility in the forced swim test

Author(s): Nadeau BG; Marchant EG; Amir S; Mistlberger RE;

The forced swim test (FST) is a widely used animal model of depression and antidepressant drug screen. Rats are forced to swim on two test days in a restricted space from which there is no escape. On the first test day the rats attempt to escape and then become largely immobile; on the second test day the onset of immobility is more rapid. Immobility is s ...

Individual pupil size changes as a robust indicator of cognitive familiarity differences

Author(s): Franzen L; Cabugao A; Grohmann B; Elalouf K; Johnson AP;

Cognitive psychology has a long history of using physiological measures, such as pupillometry. However, their susceptibility to confounds introduced by stimulus properties, such as color and luminance, has limited their application. Pupil size measurements, in particular, require sophisticated experimental designs to dissociate relatively small changes in ...

A Longitudinal Study of Adolescents' Pornography Use Frequency, Motivations, and Problematic Use Before and During the COVID-19 Pandemic

Author(s): Bothe B; Vaillancourt-Morel MP; Dion J; Paquette MM; Massé-Pfister M; Tóth-Király I; Bergeron S;

Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, an increase in pornography use has been reported based on cross-sectional findings, raising concerns about associated adverse outcomes, such as problematic pornography use (PPU). The aims of the present study were to document potential changes in adol ...
