Cilostazol is a quinolinone-derivative selective phosphodiesterase inhibitor and is a platelet-aggregation inhibitor and arterial vasodilator for the symptomatic treatment of intermittent claudication (IC). Cilostazol has been shown to improve walking distance for patients with moderate to severe disabling intermittent claudication who do not respond to exercise therapy and who are not candidates for vascular surgical or endovascular procedures. Several studies evaluated the pharmacological effects of cilostazol for restenosis prevention and indicated a possible effect on re-endothelialization mediated by hepatocyte growth factor and endothelial precursor cells, as well as inhibiting smooth muscle cell proliferation and leukocyte adhesion to endothelium, thereby exerting an anti-inflammatory effect. These effects may suggest a potential effectiveness of cilostazol in preventing restenosis and promoting the long-term outcome of revascularization interventions. This review aimed to point out the role of cilostazol in treating patients with peripheral arterial disease, particularly with IC, and to explore its possible role in restenosis after lower limb revascularization.

Abstract: Aims: In the scientific community no consensus exists regarding the question whether excessive smartphone use (ESU) should be considered as a behavioral addiction. This position paper summarizes relevant aspects of previous research on ESU with respect to content and methodology. From this, recommendations are derived as to which approaches should be given greater consideration in future research work. Conclusions: Our recommendations include the following points: 1. Development and consistent use of smartphone-based measuring instruments that allow the collection of real-time usage data and the submission of time-controlled questionnaire, 2. Validation of these instruments in large representative samples in Germany, 3. Using real-time smartphone user data to address the question whether ESU can become addictive in nature, 4. Clarification of the central question of the extent to which ESN is specific (i. e., use of specific smartphone functions such as social networks) or generalized (in terms of a behavioral pattern of general smartphone overuse). In the long term, further studies on the neurobiology and long-term stability of ESN should be carried out before the classification of ESN as a behavioral addiction can be recommended.

Abstract:Objective: This paper explores the relationship between alcohol consumption and psychological health outcome in an economically underdeveloped area of China. Methods: We conducted convenience sampling and recruited 439 participants at alcohol-related risk as identified by Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Test. Well-being and mental health were the primary outcomes. We employed multiple regression analysis to determine the correlation between alcohol consumption and health outcome. Results: Participants with higher scores for alcohol dependence were more likely to obtain higher scores for stress (0.11 [95% CI: 0.03, 0.19]), anxiety (0.15 [95% CI: 0.07, 0.23]) and depression (0.11 [95% CI: 0.03, 0.19]). Similarly, increasing scores for harmful alcohol use items were associated with higher scores for anxiety (0.08 [95% CI: 0.01,0.16]) and stress (0.08 [95% CI: 0.01,0.15]) and lower scores for positiveness (0.07 [95% CI: –0.14, –0.01]). Participants with stable incomes and the ethnic minority reported more favorable psychological outcomes or fewer negative emotions. Conversely, individuals who drank passively were more prone to experiencing lower positive and higher negative psychological effects. Conclusions: Higher scores on measures of alcohol dependence and harmful alcohol use indicate elevated psychological risks. Socioeconomic status, ethnicity, and drinking motivations modified the associations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract:Introduction: Sports psychiatry is a developing field whose focus is the diagnosis, treatment, and management of mental illness in sports team members. Participation in elite sports can compromise mental health as psychiatric symptoms and disorders are often unrecognized until players experience performance failures, injury, or interpersonal concerns. Despite the growing recognition of psychiatric illness in sports, sports psychiatry is yet to be widely practiced in athlete healthcare management. Methods: We conducted a search on relevant publications on sports psychiatry and mental health in elite athletes. Results: Numerous papers detailed mental health statistics in elite athletes as well as outlined the development of sports psychiatry with respect to healthcare management. The papers describe cultural barriers to athlete mental health treatment include stigma, low mental health literacy, adverse mental health treatment experiences, busy schedules, and cultural/religious factors. Modifiable systemic factors include conflicts of interest for team clinicians caused by dual loyalty to sports franchises, and power relations encompassing intra-team hierarchies that prevent both help-seeking behaviors and the disclosure of harassment. Conclusion: The proposed model recommends that sports leagues and tournament organizations hire sports psychiatrists to monitor the standard of care provided within each sports franchise as a quality control initiative to incentivize sports franchises to offer the highest-level of healthcare, combating conflicts of interest and harassment. The conceptual model recommends each sports franchise integrate sports psychiatrists onsite with elite sports team members with the long-term goal of achieving SAMHSA's full integration model pending available funding and sports culture shifts.

Abstract:Introduction: Concern about mental health is an increasingly relevant topic in high-performance sport. In this regard, because burnout can be harmful to both the health and performance of athletes, it is of particular importance. Although a great deal of time and effort has been dedicated to the study of athlete burnout, there are still issues that require further work. Therefore, in the present paper, we aim to highlight what, in our perspective, are the most important unsolved issues regarding burnout in athletes. Methods: We brought together expert athlete burnout scholars to offer their perspectives on five unresolved issues in this research area. Results: We describe the following five issues that require further research attention: (i) burnout as a syndrome, (ii) the negative consequences of burnout, (iii) the role of recovery in burnout, (iv) the importance of the social environment, and (v) developing effective interventions to reduce/prevent burnout. Conclusion: Our commentary provides suggestions for future research to help solve these problems, advance our understanding of athlete burnout, and ultimately safeguard the mental health of athletes.

The article focuses on the retraction of the study titled "Prenatal Exposure to Classical Music Improves Learning and Memory in Adult Rats: Possible Anxiolytic or Antistress Effects," originally published in the European Journal of Psychology Open.

This document discusses the importance of mental health care in sports performance and proposes reframing mental health care as a "legal performance enhancement." It highlights the shift in public awareness during the Covid-19 pandemic and the increasing number of athletes speaking out about their own mental health issues. The paper suggests implementing annual screenings and ongoing monitoring to ensure the overall health of athletes. It also emphasizes the role of sports psychiatrists and sports psychologists in providing support and guidance to athletes. The proposed approach includes two assessments, the Psychiatric Basic Assessment (PBA) and Sports Psychiatric Examination (SPE), to identify and address mental health concerns. The document concludes by discussing the implications of this shift for sports psychiatry, athletes, and sporting organizations, including the potential for greater focus on mental health interventions and the development of new techniques to improve performance. It also emphasizes the importance of destigmatizing mental health care and providing education and support for athletes seeking help. Overall, the document suggests that redefining mental health care in sports could lead to a healthier and more supportive environment for athletes and help them achieve their highest potential.

Introduction: The popularity of ultra-endurance cycling is increasing. Amongst race participants, sleep deprivation and periods of intermittent or acutely short sleep are common. Scientific research has typically focussed on the physiological or competitive performance based impact of these sleep-related paradigms. However, there is limited evidence about the mental health effects of sleep patterns in ultra-endurance cycling, despite established links between sleep deprivation and psychiatric and psychological issues. Methods: We conducted a narrative review synthesising extant empirical literature about sleep deprivation in ultra-endurance cycling. Results: Based on our search criteria, seven papers were identified discussing sleep patterns in ultra-endurance races. Each of these indicate that sleep deprivation is a prominent aspect of ultra-endurance competitions, with varying implications for riders. Discussion: Using these findings, we highlight the possible mental health consequences of sleep deprivation in these races, with reference to general scientific literature and other ultra-endurance sports. We also advocate for increased knowledge exchanges, regulatory emphasis, and additional research. Conclusion: Sleep deprivation and extreme sleep patterns are a substantial issue in elite-level cycling competitions, raising potential mental health concerns. More attention to this topic is necessary amongst organisers, participants, researchers, and community-level platforms, like the Global Cycling Network. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract:Introduction: The EFPA Questionnaire on Test Attitudes of Psychologists (EQTAP) is periodically employed to gather the opinions of European psychologists. A decade after the prior study, Poland and other EFPA member states participated in a follow-up investigation. This paper presents the results of the 2020 Polish edition of the survey involving 650 psychologists. It also provides a comparison with the findings from the 2009 EQTAP survey. Methods: Using exploratory factor analysis, we delved into the EQTAP questionnaire's psychometric properties to evaluate the suitability of its thematic scales. Additionally, we undertook a detailed analysis, both at the single-item and scale level. Results: The results suggest a five-scale solution, which is consistent with other international studies (Evers et al., 2012, 2017). Reliability coefficients for the questionnaire scales range between 0.40 and 0.87, strongly correlating with scale length. Conclusion: The article concludes with a discussion of the Polish psychological testing culture, which has remained relatively unchanged from 2009 to 2020, signaling a stabilization (despite changes in the behavioral patterns in the testing context related to technology). In the last section, we include a list of Polish psychologists' most favored psychometric tests over the last decade. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract:Introduction: This paper addresses the growing concern surrounding mental health in elite sports. Acknowledging that national sports systems vary in structure and that any evaluation of these issues must necessarily be country-specific, the study explores current mental health provisions in Switzerland. Method: Based on the feedback of 31 experts, including athletes and representatives from sporting organizations, the study evaluates four aspects of existing measures: formulation of a mental health plan, mental health care provision, athlete support systems, and provisions for high-risk events. Results: The findings highlight two key issues. First, experts clearly have different views about mental health initiatives in Swiss sports for reasons that may include variations in access to information, program visibility, regional and sport-specific differences, and emerging strategies that have not yet been widely embraced. Second, despite these disparities, the experts unanimously agreed that some basic mental health measures remain unimplemented. Conclusion: These findings highlight a pressing need for basic interventions such as mental health screening and improved mental health literacy. Another recommended priority is to design and implement a holistic national mental health plan informed by the collaborative contributions of all stakeholders. Furthermore, this discourse on mental health must be in coordination with ongoing dialogues on ethics in sports. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract: This paper examines the predictive power of risk propensity as a personality tendency over emigration attitudes among young Bulgarians regarding their generational belonging and differences. Although the correlation between risk propensity and migration attitudes has been studied in some countries, to date, it has neither been examined in Bulgaria – an Eastern European economy in transition – nor scrutinized in the light of generational differences. As part of a national survey (N = 1,200) carried out in September-October 2021, young Bulgarians aged 18–35 years – Zoomers (N = 444) and Millennials (N = 756), we measured risk propensity both as a general tendency and as individual responses to different risk domains, using a revision of Jackson's Risk-Taking Scale (1994). We studied the emigration attitudes using an original 5-item Attitudes Toward Emigration Scale. The findings suggest that risk propensity, mostly in the social risk domain, is a powerful predictor of emigration attitudes among young Bulgarians, even more powerful for Millennials than Zoomers. The higher risk propensity is associated with more positive attitudes toward emigration. The findings have important interdisciplinary implications for psychological theory and demographic policy.

Abstract: Racism is embedded in society and, therefore, in sports. This paper summarizes the long history of racism directed at Black athletes in the United States, the various ways that racism is manifest in sports, and the psychological impact of racism on individual athletes. Suggestions for addressing racism in the clinical setting as well as in the athletic environment are presented, along with several clinical vignettes. Because racism affects everyone, it is suggested that clinicians advance their self-awareness and knowledge of the problem, and several avenues for doing so are presented. It is suggested, in addition, that the topic of race be included in the therapeutic agenda while keeping in mind that it is the patient's prerogative to determine when race is relevant and when it is not.

The article provides a retrospective on the presidency from 2016 to 2021 and the work of the DG-Sucht. The last two years of the term were marked by the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, which led to restrictions in addiction care. However, the professional society has made efforts to develop internet-based care systems and hold virtual events. The new board was elected in September 2021. The junior group of the DG-Sucht has developed well in recent years and offers various activities and further education. Prizes were also awarded for scientific work. In addition, the 40th anniversary of the DG-Sucht was celebrated. The development and updating of treatment guidelines for substance-related and non-substance-related addiction disorders has been an important focus of the professional society in the last 5 years. Guidelines for internet-related disorders, cannabis-related disorders, and the treatment of pain have also been developed. The treatment of tobacco addiction received new regulations through the Healthcare Further Development Act (GVWG). Various addiction congresses and specialist conferences were also held. The DG-Sucht, the DGS, and the DGSPS founded the umbrella organization of addiction professional societies (DSG) in 2015. The umbrella organization has published position papers on various topics. The DG-Sucht was regularly invited to provide statements and participated in working groups. Gerhard Bühringer resigned from his position as editor-in-chief of the journal SUCHT, and Astrid Müller has taken over as the new editor-in-chief. The DG-Sucht has also been involved in the concerns of children and adolescents and has established synergies with the Joint Addiction Commission of child and adolescent psychiatric professional societies and associations. The article describes various developments and initiatives in the field of addiction treatment for children and adolescents. It is mentioned that a working group has been established to work on the S3 guideline for cannabis addiction and that representatives of child and adolescent psychiatry and psychotherapy should be involved in the guideline projects for psychosis and addiction as well as opioid addiction. It also refers to publications of position and evidence papers that were created by the addiction commission on behalf of the child and adolescent psychiatric societies. Furthermore, the implementation of further training events for child and adolescent psychiatrists is mentioned, and the problems in the care and rehabilitation of addicted children and adolescents are highlighted. It also refers to a research initiative to improve mental health and reduce the risk of addiction in children and adolescents through mindfulness. Finally, the challenges related to the COVID-19 pandemic and the planned events and activities of the DG-Sucht are mentioned. [Extracted from the article]
