TF-CBT with the pediatric medical population: a modification

According to The National Child Traumatic Stress Network (NCTSN, 2004) up to 15-20% of children and their siblings and 20-30% of parents experience persistent traumatic stress related to medical procedures or a life-threatening condition that affects daily functioning and recovery. The literature is limited with regards to efficacious treatment interventions for this population. Trauma-Focused Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) is an evidence-based treatment for traumatized children and adolescents (Cohen, Mannarino, & Deblinger, 2006). Its efficacy in reducing PTSD symptoms has been established through the literature (Bisson, Roberts, Andrew, Cooper, & Lewis, 2013; Cary & McMillen, 2012; Silverman et al., 2008), and it has been expanded to treat different types of trauma and with different populations. The recommendations created in this project were meant to supplement the existing TF-CBT manual by expanding its use to include the pediatric medical traumatic stress population. An extensive review of the literature helped develop the recommendations, and a group of 4 experts evaluated the resource and provided relevant feedback. Results indicated that although the resource is easy to understand and useful in providing information on pediatric medical traumatic stress, there is limited understanding of the TF-CBT treatment model. Further limitations, future directions and implications are also discussed

3-Nitro-1H-1,2,4-triazole

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C2H2N4O2, contains two crystallographically independent mol­ecules in which the triazole rings are essentially planar, with maximum deviations of 0.003 (1) Å in both molecules. The dihedral angle between the two 1H-1,2,4-triazole rings is 56.58 (5)°. In the crystal, mol­ecules are linked via inter­molecular N—H⋯N and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming a supra­molecular chain along the b axis

Signatures of selection underpinning rapid coral adaptation to the world’s warmest reefs

Coral populations in the world’s warmest reefs, the Persian/Arabian Gulf (PAG), represent an ideal model system to understand the evolutionary response of coral populations to past and present environmental change and to identify genomic loci that contribute to elevated thermal tolerance. Here, we use population genomics of the brain coral Platygyra daedalea to show that corals in the PAG represent a distinct subpopulation that was established during the Holocene marine transgression, and identify selective sweeps in their genomes associated with thermal adaptation. We demonstrate the presence of positive and disruptive selection and provide evidence for selection of differentially methylated haplotypes. While demographic analyses suggest limited potential for genetic rescue of neighboring Indian Ocean reefs, the presence of putative targets of selection in corals outside of the PAG offers hope that loci associated with thermal tolerance may be present in the standing genetic variation
