MindScreen AI: A Multi-Modal System for Interpreting Digital Environments
type: item
description: Modern digital life is organized around a single surface: the smartphone home screen. It is where communication, work, finance, planning, and personal habits all converge. Despite how central this space is, it is rarely examined in a structured or meaningful way. Most tools that attempt to understand digital behavior rely on tracking, usage logs, or long-term monitoring. While those methods can provide detailed data, they often introduce privacy concerns and require continuous access to personal information.

Conflict As a Result of Intervention: Artificial Intelligence and Translation
type: item
description: Translation as one of the types of human activity is related to topical philosophical issues, including transhumanism, as well as the need for its application in modern technologies for creating a man-machine and the upcoming AI singularity. The accuracy and unambiguity of language content is the foundation of AI software. For a specialized technical translation, this is an undeniable advantage in terms of the speed and efficiency of the process. The reduction of heterogeneity and polysemy of any language as a reflection of the activity of human consciousness to unambiguous definitions is an absolute limiter of creative mental activity. Specific examples of the intervention of an automatic editor in the process of individual activity of an AI user demonstrate real conflict situations. According to the author, translation is a universal property of human thinking, and cognitive processes are generated by the activity of the brain, and not exclusively by its structure. Reflection - the subject’s appeal to himself - is one of the most important acts of consciousness, which makes it possible for an individual translation of thoughts into their native and any other language.

ARFID- What is it?
type: item
description: On occasion, a new syndrome or diagnosis appears, and there is plentiful research to support it. However, on occasion, a tangential or strange compilation of behaviors and emotions appears that is somewhat strange and esoteric. These conditions then appear in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual and are readily accepted by some and questioned by others. This paper will attempt to review this syndrome or condition and examine and explore the elements of this diagnosis.

A Complete Review on: Bipolar Disorder and its Health Complications
type: item
description: Bipolar disorder is mainly intended with chronic psychiatric conditions which characterized by alternating episodes of depression and mania that leads to significant mood, behaviour and energy changes in Humans being. It's caused due to genetic, neurobiological, and environmental factors and is a leading cause of mental disability worldwide. Treatment involves a combination of mood-stabilizing medications and psychosocial interventions like therapy and psycho-education, though diagnosis is often delayed due to symptom overlap with other disorders and lack of insight from patients. Bipolar disorder is associated with significant physical health complications, including increased rate of obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and metabolic syndrome, which contribute to a significantly reduced life expectancy. Patients also face higher risks of substance use disorders and suicide, with annual suicide rates substantially exceeding the general population. These complications are driven by a combination of genetic, neurobiological, and environmental factors, highlighting the need for integrated care to address both psychiatric and physical health needs.

The Moderating Role of Compassion Satisfaction and Resilience on Compassion Fatigue and Psychological Distress among Healthcare Workers
type: item
description: Compassion and the healthcare system have consistently been viewed as intertwined. Healthcare Workers (HCWs) are expected to exhibit compassion and empathy while making reasonable decisions across various settings. However, daily challenges and exposure of HCWs to patients’ suffering can hinder their ability to provide compassionate care. Their role may induce stress, potentially leading to compassion fatigue (CF). While the COVID-19 pandemic has raised attention to the mental health of those who have been impacted, little is known about HCWs’ CF and other psychological distress in the recent post pandemic days. The psychological impact of dealing with the uncertainty and the stress of the pandemic may continue, even though the immediate risk of viral contact has decreased. Hence, this study aims to examine the moderating role of Compassion Satisfaction (CS) and resilience on CF and psychological distress among Malaysian HCWs. This study hypothesized that: (H1) CF will significantly and positively predict psychological distress, (H2-H3) CS and resilience will moderate the relationship independently, (H4) CS and resilience will moderate the relationship jointly and (H5) there will be a significant difference in level of CF between professions. The study adopted a cross-sectional design. 226 HCWs were recruited through convenience and snowball sampling, and data were analysed using simple linear regression, moderation analysis and One-Way ANOVA. The results revealed that H1, H3 and H5 were supported, whereas H2 and H4 were not. The findings suggested that resilience may be prominent when external supports were not accounted for.

Pervasive Developmental Disorders in Iraqi Children
type: item
description: Background: Pervasive developmental disorders include five chronic disorders marked by early impairment in socialization, communication and behavior. Little is known about the types of pervasive developmental disorders in Iraq. This is a retrospective clinical study aiming at determining the types of pervasive developmental disorders in Iraqi children observed at the pediatric psychiatry clinic in a tertiary pediatric referral center. Patients and methods: During nine months period (November 18th, 2018 to July 18th, 2019), fifty one patients with a diagnosis of pervasive developmental disorders (30 males and 21 females) were observed at the psychiatry clinic at the Children Teaching Hospital of Baghdad Medical City. Their ages ranged from two and half years to twelve years. Results: Thirty two (17 males and 15 females) patients had autism without significant mental retardation as indicated by adequate urine and bowel control and self care skills particularly spoon feeding. Thirteen patients were considered to have atypical autism or Pervasive developmental disorder not otherwise specified (10 boys and 3 girls), in eleven of them, the disorder was considered atypical because of the lack of adequate urine and bowel control and self care skills particularly appropriate spoon feeding indicating significant degree of mental retardation. In one patient, his condition was considered a typical because of the presence of an acceptable eye contact and response appropriately to name in most instances. Three patients had Asperger syndrome including two girls and one boy. Two boys had childhood disintegrative disorder (Heller syndrome), one of them have changes on brain MRI suggestive of cerebral vasculitis. One girl had Rett syndrome and her case and early treatment was published. Conclusion: In this series, typical autism without significant mental retardation accounted for 63%. Atypical autism (Pervasive developmental disorder not otherwise) was the second most common type of…

An Effective Model to Save Children with Substance Use Disorder in Developing Countries; Children Addiction Treatment and Rehabilitation Residential Centers (CATRCs)
type: item
description: Background: Until recently, there was no center specialized for the treatment and rehabilitation of children with substance use disorder in Iran. However, recently, a new initiation in the form of Children Addiction Treatment and Rehabilitation Residential Centers (CATRC) has been piloted in Iran. This brief report is an early evaluation of the performance of CATRC in the treatment and rehabilitation of children with drug use/use disorder. Objective: Feasibility and evaluation of a comprehensive treatment and rehabilitation model for children and adolescents with substance use disorder. Methods: The evaluation on pilot project was done in two CATRCs established in the city of Zahedan. Subjects were 107 children between the ages of 0 and 18 with a history of drug use or drug use disorder sent to CATRCs to fulfill a judicial decision or by the Welfare Organization. Results: Out of 88 children discharged from the two CATRCs during the 1.5 years since their establishment, there were no relapses or criminal activity in 97.7% of children. Conclusion: this study showed early evidence of the positive performance of CATRCs in Iran.

Rebalancing Diagnosis and Clinical Treatment: A Contribution to Clinical Discourse on Youth Gender Medicine
type: item
description: The management of gender dysphoria and gender incongruence in young people has become one of the most contested areas in contemporary medicine. This presentation recounts the contribution of the National Association of Practising Psychiatrists (NAPP) to rebalancing clinical discourse in this controversial area. Prof Morris draws attention to the similarities but clear differences in the medical history of homosexuality and transgender identity. He outlines the ethical and professional obligations for medical practitioners involved in youth gender medicine. He then describes the principles behind the NAPP guide to the management of gender dysphoria in young people. This guide offers a compassionate, caring, cautious and evidence-informed approach to this clinical condition emphasising careful diagnosis, ethical practice and prioritisation of patient welfare.

The Brain/Mind Experience of Psychosis: A Case Study
type: item
description: As a part of my clinical research project (“Listening to the Brain/Recovering the Brain/Mind”) I came across the fact that one of the long-term consequences of a traumatic brain injury (concussions and post-concussion syndrome) is psychosis. What is psychosis? It is the loss of the ability to be grounded, most often characterized by hallucinations and delusions, a decline in cognitive functioning, and an inability to be present in many life situations because of dissociation. The first such case I was presented with occurred with a National Basketball Association player who was forced into an early retirement because he was suffering with schizophrenia, a major mental illness. While working with Mr. C, I was alerted to a large Danish Study (2014) that demonstrated the connection between traumatic brain injuries and major mental illness. You can follow the details of this case in my book “The Complex Architecture and Healing of Traumatic Brain Injuries” from Cambridge Scholars Publishing 2023, chapter on “Brutality to the Brain.” Sadly Mr. C passed away in 2018 due to heart complications. Before his death, he shared with me how brutal the NBA was at the time he was playing. Elbows to the head, both intentional and unintentional, were a constant problem for him, causing a number of concussions. I only had a short time with his case before his death, but even at the end, there was no recognition of what the Danish Study had found. And no treatment of the real cause of his suffering. Over time, I came to the realization that all concussions (this is a strong statement to make, but it is what I have observed), create neurodegenerative disease processes in the brain. (See my article: “The Complex Architecture of Traumatic Brain Injuries.) Fast forward to now, I am seeing this pattern, this connection between brain injuries and psychosis, more often than I would have expected. I will be presenting 2 cases where early concussions during childhood eventually led to difficult…

Mental Health Problems in Young People: Many Enduring Problems, a Few Proposed Solutions
type: item
description: Rates of depression, self-harm and suicide in young people worldwide are approaching epidemic proportions. In Australia, almost one-third of those who die in the 15-24 year age group will have taken their own life, a proportion that increases each year. Predicting these adverse events in young people has proved to be an insoluble problem, and approaches to reducing the incidence of such events have clearly been ineffective. For young people, their families, friends, and school communities, the consequences can be particularly devastating. This keynote aims to address two main questions relevant to the mental health of young people today: (1) What are the main challenges you that young people are facing today?, and (2) What needs to be done to address this issue?

Wounds without Bruises: Hidden Trauma and Recovery in Victims of School Bullying
type: item
description: While school bullying is frequently perceived as a behavioural issue, its profound psychological and emotional ramifications remain insufficiently examined, particularly the latent trauma endured by victims and the intricate pathways to recovery. This presentation draws upon doctoral research employing Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA), as conceptualised by Jonathan Smith, to understand the (un)lived experiences of adolescents who have been victimised at school. Anchored in phenomenological epistemology and constructivist ontology, this study seeks to understand how bullying-related trauma is internalised, navigated and potentially transformed in the lives of young people. Seven participants (3 females and seven males) aged between 12 to 16 from Grades 7 to 10 were purposively selected, based on formal referrals for bullying-related issues from the school counselling services in Mauritius. Data were collected through semi-structured, in-depth interviews designed to elicit rich narratives of suffering and resilience. The interviews were transcribed verbatim, and the analysis followed a rigorous idiographic approach involving iterative reading, initial noting, development of emergent themes, and abstraction into cross-case superordinate themes. The study delineated f ive superordinate themes encompassing both trauma and recovery: (1) Fractured sense of self, (2) Silenced pain and the need to be heard, (3) Disrupted relationships and rebuilding trust, (4) Hypervigilance and emotional residue, and (5) Powerlessness to personal agency. The findings highlight that trauma from bullying is often invisible, yet profoundly embodied and enduring. Despite the hidden nature of trauma, adolescents demonstrate meaningful capacities for healing and develop substantial adaptive strategies through relational support, personal insight, and self-empowerment in response to prolonged victimisation. This study advocates for trauma-informed, culturally grounded school mental h…

How Music and Neurofeedback Can Supplement Your Psychotherapy
type: item
description: Neurofeedback is a method of bio feedback where our brain waves are monitored using an EEG machine. Music with certain pattern stimulates brain injury such a way that it helps to stabilise the brain and helps synchronisation. I am hereby sharing my experience of what happens and my rationale for how and why we can use music and neurofeedback to help people to enhance their cognitive and emotional skills. Also, I would discuss the various methods that can help stimulate your cognition. We will discuss the impact of music in brain and how can we train our brain to synchronise so that it can regulate emotions.

Psychological Safety and Mental Health: What Happens When Healthcare Workers Don’t Feel Safe to Speak?
type: item
description: In healthcare, silence is not neutral, it can be dangerous. Nurses may carry emotional fatigue in silence. Junior doctors may hesitate to raise concerns or admit uncertainty. This silence is not about personality. It reflects how psychologically safe people feel and how leadership responds. This talk explores psychological safety as the silent engine behind resilience, trust, and team performance. Defined by Professor Amy Edmondson, psychological safety means people feel they can speak up, ask for help, and learn from mistakes without fear. In hospitals and clinics, this enables early error reporting, open communication, reduced burnout, and safer care. But psychological safety is not about avoiding discomfort. It’s about creating space to grow through discomfort with support. Leaders play a central role. They are the thermostat of team culture. When leaders model vulnerability, invite feedback, and respond non-defensively, they signal safety. In Malaysian hospitals, teams using reflective rounds, anonymous wellness checks, and inclusive huddles are not seeing more errors, they’re seeing more transparency and earlier interventions. Toxic leadership, on the other hand, creates silent teams. And silence in high-stakes settings like healthcare can cost lives. This talk shares real stories, research, and practice insights to show how psychological safety turns policy into practice, and innovation into connection. Aligned with the MindMatters2025 theme of bridging neuroscience, technology, and compassion, this session frames psychological safety as an essential catalyst for human-centered care. Because before we can transform mental health systems, we must first build teams where people feel safe to speak, and safe to care.

Asynchronous Text-Based Mental Health Support: Real-World Evidence of Next Day Mood Improvement in Non-Clinical Population
type: item
description: Introduction: Mental health applications are known to offer innovative means to support emotional wellbeing, providing users with resources like online or virtual therapy, mood tracking, and self-help strategies via their mobile device. Of these, asynchronous text-based interventions are known to be effective adjuncts to traditional or online (synchronous) therapy, leading to symptom reduction, effective engagement between sessions and adherence to medication among other positive effects. However, results on the effectiveness of asynchronous text-based interventions are mixed, with most studies focused on patients with diagnosed mental health conditions and often emphasize its use as an adjunct to traditional or online (synchronous) therapy. To our knowledge, no study has reported the effectiveness of asynchronous texting as a preventive tool (with an undiagnosed population) independent from other modes of therapeutic interventions. Using real world data, the present study examined the relationship between asynchronous text-based engagement with a mental health professional via the Thoughtful app and next-day mood improvements. Methods: Secondary data provided by Thoughtful World was extracted from the database which consist of 234 unique individuals who had spent at least 30 minutes of asynchronous texting with a mental health professional prior to the measurement of next-day mood. Mood scores that were recorded before the day of intervention was taken as baseline scores. Variables such as gender and age, mood scores (before and after using the asynchronous texting feature), time spent using the app were collected and analysed. All data were collected via the Thoughtful app and is based on a real world (non-controlled) setting. Permission for use of deidentified data was obtained from all participants prior to the overall wellbeing program as stated in the terms of use and informed consent. Results: The paired T-test indicated there was a significant increase in mo…

description: Clinical Hypnosis (CH) is gaining traction as an effective intervention for mental health, chronic pain, and overall wellbeing. Traditionally linked to heightened suggestibility, recent advances in neuroscience have begun to uncover the distinct neural dynamics underpinning the hypnotic state. CH has demonstrated efficacy across anxiety disorders, PTSD, anesthesia, and somatoform disorders. Underlying mechanisms may involve PFC-amygdala-hippocampal regulation, reduced stress hormone responses, and improved cognitive flexibility. Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) studies reveal that hypnosis elicits a characteristic pattern of brain activity, including decreased connectivity within the default mode network (DMN), heightened engagement of the anterior cingulate cortex, and modulation of thalamocortical circuits. Notably, Spiegel et al. (2016) observed consistent downregulation of the dorsal anterior cingulate, affirming the neurobiological distinctiveness of hypnosis. Emerging neurotechnologies such as mobile EEG (mEEG), brainwave entrainment (BWE), and bio/ neurofeedback now enable clinicians to monitor and deepen hypnotic states with greater precision. These tools are being employed to enhance memory integration, facilitate therapeutic openness, and assist in processing unresolved trauma. By examining trance states through current neuroscientific frameworks, this presentation demonstrates how clinical hypnosis is now established as a quantifiable, adaptable, and evidence-based therapeutic modality in modern integrative practice.

The Relationship between Self-Esteem and Psychological Distress among Young Adults in Malaysia
type: item
description: This study looked into the relationship between self-esteem and psychological distress among young adults in Malaysia, addressing a research gap where limited empirical evidence exists on this association within the Malaysian context. A total of 100 (50 males, 50 females) young adults were recruited using a convenience sampling method. Respondents completed a questionnaire that measured their self-esteem and psychological distress namely Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES) and Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K10). Data were analysed using Pearson Correlation and Independent Sample t-Test. Findings indicated a statistically significant moderate negative relationship between self-esteem and psychological distress, r(98) = -.46, p < .001. This finding aligns with Cognitive Vulnerability-Stress Model and Beck’s Cognitive Theory which suggest that individuals with higher self-esteem possess more effective emotional regulation strategies, thereby reducing their susceptibility to psychological distress. Meanwhile, results showed no significant gender differences in psychological distress, t(98) = .17, p > .05, d = .03. This suggests that male and female young adults exhibit similar psychological distress, possibly due to evolving gender roles, comparable coping mechanisms, and limitations related to the sample size and narrow age range. Mental health professionals and educators are encouraged to implement self-esteem enhancement programs as a preventative approach to reducing psychological distress. In conclusion, the study reinforces the significance of self-esteem as a protective factor and calls for integrative mental health frameworks that address self-concept in young adult populations. These findings have practical implications for clinical practices, educational programs, and public health policies aiming to support youth mental well-being in Malaysia.

Buprenorphine- A Review
type: item
description: With the growing opioid epidemic in India and other nations around the world, there has been an upsurge in illegal activities, broken families, non- working population and other health- related hazards; yet roadblocks to proper treatment and rehabilitation facilities continue to exist nonetheless. Besides the role of Psychiatrists and Addiction Specialists, the role of social workers and policymakers are also crucial in the proper identification of patients in the community and for the proper implementation of Opioid Substitution Therapy (OST) services with opioid agonists like Buprenorphine. Understanding the molecule of Buprenorphine is hence essential to provide better treatment and care to patients, so that they can lead an illicit opioid- free life and well integrate in the community. This review article attempts to shed light on the diverse domains of Buprenorphine and also provide an insight on the latest research on Buprenorphine.

Impact of Academic Self-Concept and Metacognition on Academic Performance of Medical Students in A Private University in Malaysia
type: item
description: Introduction: This research study investigates the impact of Academic Self-Concept (ASC) and metacognition on academic performance of medical students in a private university in Malaysia. This study looked at the role of ASC, and the metacognitive aspects of ASC which influence exam performance. The research utilizes Liu and Wang’s ASC scale, previously unexplored among medical students in Malaysia, to measure ASC. Metacognitive aspects of the ASC questionnaire were identified and compared against exam performance. Methods: The research employs a cross-sectional design and includes data from medical students under the MBBS program in IMU, International Medical University (IMU). 111 medical students participated in the research. A questionnaire developed by Liu and Wang was used as the study instrument. We compared the sociodemographic factors, ASC scores as well as academic performance of the students. Metacognitive components of ASC questions were identified and compared against academic performance. Results: Findings indicate a significant correlation between age and ASC scores, with ASC scores declining as students advance in age. However, no statistically significant associations are found between ASC scores and gender, nationality, or semester. Notably, students who reported previous exam failures displayed significantly higher ASC scores. Academic performance does not correlate ASC scores, contrary to existing literature. However metacognitive aspects of ASC correlate with academic performance. Conclusion: There were two factors that were found to be significantly associated with ASC scores which are age and the experience of ever failing an exam. Metacognitive aspects of ASC are associated with academic performance and correlate with ASC score. While the research is pioneering in its focus on medical students in Malaysia, it raises questions about the multifaceted dynamics between metacognition, ASC and academic performance. Has ASC as a concept come of age? …

Impact of Peer Work in Social Psychiatry: Improving Quality or Missing Link for Inclusion
type: item
description: Psychiatric diagnosis still is strongly linked with stigmatization and discrimination, it is regarded as “ultimate stigma” (Falk 2001), as second illness “(Finzen 2013), it goes along with “stigma by association” (Goffman 1975) and affects not only all areas of life, but also the staff (Thornicroft et al. 2009). One of the greatest threats to shaping their lives for those affected is the rejection from employment even though having recovered and being able to manage residuals or episodes. Work itself is beyond providing income an existential factor for well-being and health by affecting the socio-economic status as well as belonging and structure in daily living: protective factors that, being missed, can in reverse lead to mental health issues. So, in this context, stigmatization still is a great problem, although there is the UN CRPD (UN 2006) which sets agreed measures for inclusion and although there are several legislative implementations in different countries in Germany as well, that strengthen inclusion as a fundamental right. With the European Leonardo Da Vinci Project 2005-2007 „Experienced Involvement (EX-IN)” the problem is addressed by professionalizing peers with mental health issues for further deployment in social psychiatric care, gaining Peers as colleagues. In this contribution, taken from the results of a doctoral research project on “Experienced Involvement in social psychiatric care of Germany”, challenges and chances are discussed. After a short view on the actual employment situation of EX-IN in Germany, the effects of implementation of peers as colleagues on services, teams and colleagues, service user and EX-IN themselves are discussed and contextualized with the claim of improving inclusion.

The Keys to Autism Self-Acceptance
type: item
description: In a world that often values conformity, embracing who you are especially as an autistic person can feel like a radical act. But selfacceptance is not just possible; it’s essential. It’s a journey that begins with understanding your worth, celebrating your differences, and letting go of the idea that you need to be "fixed."

Cross-Talk Between Exogenous Growth Factors and Endogenous Growth Factors Released from Astroglial-Conditioned Media onDNA and RNA Labeling and ERK1/2 Expression in Astrocytesin an in Vitro Model
type: item
description: The aim of this present investigation is to study the cross-talk between exogenous growth factors and endogenous growth factors released from astroglialconditioned media on DNA and RNA labeling and ERK ½ expression in astrocytes in an in vitro model. To better clarify mechanism of astroglial cell proliferation /differentiation in culture, incorporation of [methyl-3H]-thymidine or [5,6-3H]-uridine in astroglial cell cultures was investigated. Astrocytes cultures were pre-treated with Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF), insulin (INS), Insulin-Like Growth Factor-I (IGF- I), and Basic Fibroblast Growth Factor (bFGF) and subsequently with Astroglial Conditioned Media (ACM). In particular, the incorporation of [methyl-3H]-thymidine into DNA showed a significant increase in ACM from 15 days in vitro (DIV) cultures in 30 DIV astrocytes after12 h pre-treatment with growth factors. The pre-treatment with INS or EGF in 30 DIV astrocytes cultures was showed. ACM collected from 15 or 60 or 90 DIV increased the [5,6-3H] uridine incorporation into RNA of 15 and 30 DIV astrocyte cultures. Increase in RNA labeling of 30 DIV cultures added with ACM from 90 DIV was obtained. The results of enhancement in DNA labeling after pre- treatment with EGF or INS in 30 DIV astrocytes cultures and subsequent addition of ACM from 15 DIV cultures, indicate that the involvement may depend on Extra Cellular SignalRegulated Kinase (ERK1) activation. In summary, the environment created by astroglial cultures can regulate their own proliferation and differentiation, through the release of soluble mediators finally acting on their genomic program. This may be relevant in vivo, when scheduled events related to brain development are regulated by astrocyte-derived growth factors controlling neuronal and glial architecture from the postnatal period until the adulthood.

Afterlife Consciousness as a Trans-Dimensional Phenomenon: ATheoretical Exploration of Post-Physical Awareness and SuperluminalCognitive Transmission
type: item
description: This paper examines the speculative hypothesis that human consciousness possesses trans-dimensional properties, capable of existing beyond physical spacetime and potentially traveling faster than the speed of light. Building on metaphysical interpretations, phenomenology, near-death experience research, multidimensional cosmology, and the conservation of energy principle, this perspective proposes that consciousness may act as a post-biological, nonmaterial, and ultra-fast information field. It further explores the idea that consciousness can be modulated, transmitted, or directed through high-frequency thought processes, enabling instantaneous access to distant regions of the universe or multiverse. While not grounded in empirically validated physics, this framework aims to open new pathways for philosophical inquiry, theoretical physics dialogues, and mind-cosmos relationship studies.

Screening and Intervention Outcomes for Depression at Primary Health Care Settings in Ogun State, Nigeria
type: item
description: Depression is one of the most common conditions treated in primary health care (PHC), and nearly 10% of all primary care visits are depression related. Detection of cases of depression by PHC workers in developing countries is extremely low. Screening for depression at PHC level can improve the detection rate and may be useful in providing interventions for identified cases of depression. This study was undertaken to improve detection of depression through screening and providing interventions for patients presenting for health services at the PHC settings in Ogun state, Nigeria. Methodology The study was conducted at 20 PHC centres in two randomly selected senatorial districts (Ogun West and Ogun Central) in Ogun State, Nigeria. Patient Health Questionnaire-2 (PHQ-2) and module on depression of mental health Gap Action Programme-IG (mhGAP-IG) guidelines were used in screening for depression among consenting patients who met inclusion criteria in the 20 designated PHC centres. For making diagnosis of depression, PHQ-9 scores of ≥ 10 confirmed the diagnosis. Interventions as specified in the depression module of mhGAP-IG were administered and patients were followed up for 6months. Data was analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 21.0. Frequency, mean, standard deviation and percentages were used to summarize descriptive statistics while the means of quantitative variables was compared with Independent T Test at level of statistical significance set at P<0.05 Results Among the 493 patients screened for depression, 26.8% were confirmed for depression. Mean score (19.8) for depression at Ogun West where screening was done with PHQ-2 and mhGAP-IG was significantly higher than Ogun Central (14.5) at P=0.001. Majority of the cases of depression were mild cases (50.8%). Majority (62.3%) of the patients were females. All the patients received psychological treatment while 55.3% were placed on amitriptyline with mean (SD) dose of 43.2(3.4) mg…

Involvement of the Gasotransmitter Hydrogen Sulfide in the Effectof Ozone on the Hemoglobin Oxygen Affinity
type: item
description: This paper presents current data on the blood oxygen transport function and the gasotransmitters system (hydrogen sulfide and nitric oxide) and their interconnection. Hydrogen sulfide contributes to the modification of hemoglobin oxygen affinity, which is achieved through various mechanisms: the formation of sulfhemoglobin, modulation of the intraerythrocytic 2,3-DPG system, the L-arginine-NO system, and also indirectly through systemic mechanisms of hemoglobin functional properties. Based on an analysis of literature and our own data, the role of hydrogen sulfide as a gasotransmitter in the formation of blood oxygen transport function and the development of oxidative damage and hypoxic conditions is discussed.

Empathy and Reading: Exploring Dialectical Bibliotherapy as anAdjunct Intervention for Cluster B Personality Disorders
type: item
description: Empathy deficits and emotional dysregulation are core features of Cluster B personality disorders, often contributing to interpersonal dysfunction and therapeutic resistance. This paper explores the therapeutic potential of guided literary fiction reading—termed Dialectical Bibliotherapy—as a novel adjunct intervention aimed at enhancing affective empathy and emotional literacy in individuals with borderline, narcissistic, histrionic, and antisocial personality traits. Drawing on Reader-Response Theory, the study frames literary fiction not merely as passive entertainment but as an interactive psychological encounter wherein readers engage with complex emotional landscapes and multifaceted character psychologies. The proposed intervention involves structured reading sessions of selected emotionally intense fiction, followed by reflective dialogue modeled after techniques in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). The therapeutic reading process aims to scaffold empathic resonance by fostering imaginative identification and symbolic processing in a non-threatening context. This interdisciplinary model draws from psychiatry, narrative theory, and affective neuroscience to argue that literature may serve not only as mirror but as mediator—offering patients the opportunity to safely rehearse empathy and reconfigure emotional scripts. The paper concludes by outlining a pilot framework for clinical application and calls for empirical validation through controlled trials.
