Complexity and risk factor research in mental disorders: better think twice
Abstract Complexity has become an increasingly prominent concept in research on mental disorders and pathological behaviors. This is more than due, as these conditions are not only complicated but genuinely complex. Complexity serves both as an analytic lens and as a force that pushes scientific progress forward. However, complexity science, as it currently stands, seems poised to deliver waves of new findings but no transformative breakthroughs.

Assessment of psychosocial aspects in adults in post-COVID-19 condition: the EURONET-SOMA recommendations on core outcome domains for clinical and research use | BMC Medicine | Full Text
The EURONET-SOMA recommendations regarding the outcome domains and the respective instruments for clinical studies on post-COVID-19 condition can be divided into four higher-order dimensions: (1) (clinical) outcomes, relevant for individuals already suffering from symptoms and disorders; (2) mechanisms, which may contribute to the persistence and course of these symptoms and disorders after the SARS-CoV-2 infection; (3) risk factors considering their significant role as predictors,...

First episode depression during the perinatal period is associated with atopic diseases and persistently increased eosinophil and basophil levels - Archives of Women's Mental Health
Abstract A previous diagnosis of depression is a strong predictor for perinatal depression, apart from other mental disorders, stress, and atopies. It is less clear which factors interfere if perinatal depression occurs as a first depression episode (fePND). We examined the associations with atopies and related blood parameters using data of CoLaus|PsyCoLaus.
The impact of an exercise and sport intervention on cognitive function and pain among forcibly displaced individuals at risk for PTSD: a secondary analysis of the SALEEM randomized controlled trial | BMC Medicine | Full Text
This study examined a subset of data from a larger pragmatic randomized controlled trial in a refugee camp in Greece (ISRCTN16291983), which consisted of two parallel groups: an intervention group (IG) and a waitlist control group (WLCG). In addition to the primary outcome, which demonstrated a reduction in PTSD symptom severity linked to regular attendance over a 10-week intervention span [32], this paper presents the intervention effects on cognitive function and pain.

Table 1 illustrates sociodemographic and clinical characteristics of the study sample. Eighty seven participants were included in the study (69 with CAA, 18 with NC), and 100% of our sample was of Caucasian ethnicity. Clinical presentation of CAA patients was transient ischemic attack (TIA) or stroke (n = 34, 49.2%), ICH (n = 15, 21.7%), cognitive decline (n = 12, 17.3%; diagnosed by pathological MMSE/CDR scores and clinical data) or TFNE (n = 8, 11.5%).

"The Numbers to Know for Church Health" by Danny R. Von Kanel
Abstract The church growth movement has long been criticized as being only interested in numbers. However, this article goes beyond simplistic attention to worship attendance to quantify a series of indicators of church health and suggest proper ratios that are consistent with growing churches. The study concludes with a description of the stages of maturity and provides a self-administered diagnostic tool for gauging spiritual maturity in the life of the believer. Von Kanel, D. R. (2011).
