Carol S. North,Laura J. Tivis,J. Curtis McMillen,Betty Pfefferbaum,Edward L. Spitznagel,Jann Cox,Sara Jo Nixon,Kenneth Bunch,Elizabeth M. Smith +8 more
TL;DR: The resilience seen in firefighters may be related to their career selection, their preparedness and experience, the fewer injuries they suffered, and postdisaster mental health interventions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Carol S. North,Laura J. Tivis,J. Curtis McMillen,Betty Pfefferbaum,Jann Cox,Edward L. Spitznagel,Kenneth Bunch,John K. Schorr,Elizabeth M. Smith +8 more
TL;DR: After the Oklahoma City bombing, a volunteer sample of 181 firefighters had relatively low rates of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and described little functional impairment, positive social adjustment, and high job satisfaction.
Journal ArticleDOI
Visuospatial perception, construction, and memory in alcoholism.
TL;DR: Deficits in spatial cognition exhibited by alcoholics do not seem to arise from dysfunction in any localized brain region and small but potentially important impairments in fundamental aspects of spatial information processing such as scanning and use of visual imagery were found.
Journal ArticleDOI
The course of posttraumatic stress disorder in a follow-up study of survivors of the Oklahoma City bombing.
Carol S. North,Betty Pfefferbaum,Laura J. Tivis,Aya Kawasaki,Chandrashekar Reddy,Edward L. Spitznagel +5 more
TL;DR: A follow-up study confirmed the immediacy of onset of PTSD and its persistence over time, pointing to the need for early interventions that continue over the long term, and the avoidance and numbing symptom group C was pivotal to current PTSD status and was associated with indicators of functioning at index and follow- up.
Journal ArticleDOI
Saliva versus serum estradiol: Implications for research studies using postmenopausal women
TL;DR: It is suggested that saliva E2 may be a fairly robust predictor of serum E2, but only among postmenopausal women who use ET.
