Journal ArticleDOI

Smaller Hippocampal Volume in Posttraumatic Stress Disorder: A Multisite ENIGMA-PGC Study: Subcortical Volumetry Results From Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Consortia

Mark W. Logue, +55 more
TL;DR: This large-scale neuroimaging consortium study on PTSD conducted by the Psychiatric Genomics Consortium-Enhancing Neuroimaging Genetics through Meta-Analysis (ENIGMA) PTSD Working Group represents an important milestone in an ongoing collaborative effort to examine the neurobiological underpinnings of PTSD and the brain's response to trauma.
Journal ArticleDOI

Risk Factors for Antenatal Depression and Associations with Infant Birth Outcomes: Results From a South African Birth Cohort Study.

TL;DR: Antenatal depression and associated risk factors are highly prevalent in this setting and are associated with adverse fetal growth and maternal mental health may be an important predictor of infant growth in utero.
Journal ArticleDOI

Altered white matter microstructural organization in posttraumatic stress disorder across 3047 adults: results from the PGC-ENIGMA PTSD consortium

Emily L. Dennis, +141 more
- 01 Aug 2021 - 
TL;DR: The results show that PTSD may be associated with alterations in the broader hippocampal network, and associations between PTSD and disrupted white matter organization measured by lower fractional anisotropy in the tapetum region of the corpus callosum.
Journal ArticleDOI

Psychological trauma and posttraumatic stress disorder: risk factors and associations with birth outcomes in the Drakenstein Child Health Study.

TL;DR: Preliminary evidence suggested that trauma may adversely affect fetal growth, as measured by birth head circumference, and further studies are required to extend findings and delineate causal links and mechanisms of association.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effect of Hazardous Alcohol Use During Pregnancy on Growth Outcomes at Birth: Findings from a South African Cohort Study.

TL;DR: Interventions to reduce hazardous alcohol use among pregnant women in South Africa are needed to prevent alcohol‐related infant growth restrictions at birth and link exposed infants to early interventions for neurodevelopment.
