The association between schizophrenia and increased COVID-19 mortality in a cohort of over 2 million people in Brazil
CONCLUSIONS: Patients diagnosed with schizophrenia have a greater likelihood of COVID-19- related death than those without mental health conditions. These findings underscore the significant effect of serious mental disorders on COVID-19 mortality.PMID:38635950 | DOI:10.47626/1516-4446-2024-3540 (Source: Revista Brasileira de Psiquiatria)

Longitudinal changes in resting-state functional connectivity as markers of vulnerability or resilience in first-degree relatives of patients with bipolar disorder
CONCLUSION: Our findings indicate the coexistence of both vulnerability-related abnormalities in resting-state connectivity, as well as adaptive changes possibly promoting resilience to psychopathology in individual at familial risk.PMID:38634498 | DOI:10.1017/S0033291724000898 (Source: Psychological Medicine)

Demographics and clinical characteristics of patients of prescribing psychologists, psychiatrists, and primary care physicians
Am Psychol. 2024 Apr 18. doi: 10.1037/amp0001352. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTTo describe the characteristics of patients receiving psychotropic medication from prescribing psychologists, psychiatrists, and primary care physicians. This descriptive study was conducted using private insurance claims of patients from New Mexico and Louisiana receiving psychotropic medications (anticonvulsants, antidepressants, antipsychotics, hypotensive agents, anxiolytics/sedatives/hypnotics, and stimulants) from 2004 to 2021 (N = 307,478). Patient characteristics were captured during the 6 months prior to their first psychotropic medica...

Comparative utility of omnipolar and bipolar electroanatomic mapping methods to detect and localize dual nodal substrate in patients with atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia
ConclusionsOmnipolar vector pivot analysis represents an automated, annotation-independent qualitative technique that is sensitive and specific for AVNRT substrate and co-localizes with successful SPM sites. Bipolar voltage quantitatively describes SP anisotropy better than omnipolar voltage, and the addition of peak frequency signal analysis further optimizes the selection of SPM sites.Graphical abstract (Source: Journal of Interventional Cardiac Electrophysiology)

Extreme —Super obesity and panniculectomy: bipolar radiofrequency scalpel assisted surgery as a valuable option for the most challenging cases
ConclusionsBRS assisted panniculectomy with minimal undermining is a valuable option for patients with extreme or super obesity. At the time of dissection, minimizing undermining and using BRS could make the operation safer and therefore extendable to a larger cohort of patients.Level of evidence: Level IV, Therapeutic; Risk/Prognostic.

Association Between Cortical Thickness or Surface Area and Divergent Thinking in Patients with Bipolar Disorder
CONCLUSION: The findings indicate that divergent thinking involves cerebral structures for executive control, mental imagery, and visual processing in patients with BD, and the right prefrontal cortex might be the most crucial of these structures.PMID:38623725 | DOI:10.1017/neu.2024.17 (Source: Acta Neuropsychiatrica)
