Abstract: Background: Substance Use Disorders (SUDs) are linked with significant cognitive, behavioral and psychosocial impairments, such as deficits in executive functioning, attention, working memory and decision making. These impairments negatively impact treatment adherence and relapse prevention. Emerging evidence also indicates that maladaptive personality characteristics, particularly Dark Triad traits (Machiavellianism, narcissism and psychopathy), may contribute to substance use behaviors, poor self-regulation, resistance to treatment and vulnerability to relapse...

Abstract: “Introduction: Frailty and sarcopenia were understood as interrelated geriatric syndromes, characterized by a progressive reduction in physiological reserve and the loss of muscle mass and function, which compromised autonomy and increased vulnerability to adverse events. It was observed that population aging intensified the clinical relevance of these conditions, since both were associated with falls, hospitalizations, functional disability, and increased mortality. Objective: To analyze diagnostic methods, the main clinical impacts, and therapeutic approaches related to frailty and sarcopenia in aging, based on recent scientific evidence. Methodology: The methodology followed.....

Abstract: Translation has played a significant role in shaping modern Indian literature by facilitating cultural exchange among the country's diverse linguistic traditions. Indian drama, in particular, has benefited immensely from translation, enabling regional theatrical works to reach national and international audiences. This study examines the contribution of Vizai Bhaskar's translated plays to Indian English Drama and explores how translation functions as a medium of cultural transmission. Employing qualitative textual analysis, the study analyses selected...

Abstract: Introduction: Depression has traditionally been understood as a disorder associated with neurochemical alterations involving neurotransmitters such as serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine. However, scientific evidence accumulated over recent decades has indicated that immunological and inflammatory mechanisms have also played a relevant role in its pathophysiology. Chronic low-grade systemic inflammation has been associated with neurobiological alterations capable of influencing brain function, affecting processes related to mood, cognition, motivation, and behavior. Objective: To analyze the scientific evidence regarding the relationship between systemic inflammation....
