Long-term Depression

Long-term depression, or LTD, is one of the ways by which synaptic plasticity—changes in the strength of chemical synapses—can occur in the brain. LTD is the process of synaptic weakening that occurs over time between pre and postsynaptic neuronal connections. The synaptic weakening of LTD works in opposition to synaptic strengthening by long-term potentiation (LTP) and together are the main mechanisms that underlie learning and memory.

Overview of Cell Death

Overview of Cell Death

Cell death is an essential process where the body gets rid of old or damaged cells. Cell proliferation and death need to be balanced, as an imbalance between the two may lead to cancer or autoimmune diseases.
Cell death was observed in the early 19th century, but there was no experimental evidence to prove it. In 1842, Carl Vogt first discovered cell death in a metamorphic toad; however, it was not termed ‘cell death.’ Scientists discovered different cell death pathways only in the 20th century...

Area of Science:

Public Health
Psychiatry
Criminology

Background:

Suicide by hanging is increasing globally.
Contributing factors and prevention strategies require further understanding.
Limited research addresses the lived experiences of suicide attempt survivors.

Purpose of the Study:

To understand the epidemiology and prevention of suicide by hanging in existing literature.
To critically appraise the inclusion of survivor lived experiences.
To identify gaps in current knowledge and prevention efforts.

Main Methods:

A scoping review methodology was employed.
Searches were conducted across CINAHL, PubMed, and PsycINFO databases.
Thirty-six articles focusing on hanging suicide and prevention were included and thematically analyzed.

Main Results:

Hanging suicides occur in community and controlled environments (prisons, police cells, inpatient units).
Medical management of near-lethal hangings is a key theme.
The literature often lacks the inclusion of survivor perspectives.

Conclusions:

Enhanced education and policy are needed for controlled environments and medical management.
Responsible media portrayal of hangings is crucial.
Incorporating lived experiences of survivors is vital for advancing suicide prevention.
