Iron Supplementation in Management of Neurodevelopmental Disorders: Systematic Review, Meta-Analysis, and Qualitative Synthesis
CONCLUSIONS: Further research is needed to examine the role of iron supplementation in the management of ADHD and neurodevelopmental disorders more generally. Additionally, iron supplementation comes with risks, including death in the case of overdose.PMID:38343311 | DOI:10.1176/appi.neuropsych.20230081 (Source: Journal of Neuropsychiatry and Clinical Neurosciences)

Longitudinal Influence of Prescribed Antidepressants on Fecal and Oral Microbiomes Among Veterans With Major Depressive Disorder
CONCLUSIONS: Antidepressants were found to influence fecal and oral microbiomes such that a new course of antidepressant monotherapy was associated with taxonomic alterations toward healthier states in both fecal and oral microbiomes, which were associated with decreases in depressive symptoms. Additional longitudinal research is required to increase understanding of microbiomes and symptom-based changes, with a particular focus on potential differences between medication classes and underlying mechanisms.PMID:38258376 | DOI:10.1176/appi.neuropsych.20220221 (Source: Journal of Neuropsychiatry and Clinical Neurosciences)

Association of Win-Loss Record With Neuropsychiatric Symptoms and Brain Health Among Professional Fighters
CONCLUSIONS: These findings suggest that among retired fighters, a better fight record was associated with greater impulsiveness, slower processing speed, and smaller brain volume in certain regions. This study shows that even successful fighters experience adverse effects on brain health.PMID:38258377 | DOI:10.1176/appi.neuropsych.20230108 (Source: Journal of Neuropsychiatry and Clinical Neurosciences)

A Web-Based Educational Module Using Clinical Neuroscience to Deliver the Diagnosis of Functional Neurological Disorder
J Neuropsychiatry Clin Neurosci. 2024 Jan 23:appineuropsych20230060. doi: 10.1176/appi.neuropsych.20230060. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTNeuroscience-based patient education has become an evidence-based strategy for enhancing chronic pain treatment. Advances in understanding the neuroscience of functional neurological disorder (FND) may allow similar approaches to be developed and disseminated to clinicians, given the public health need for greater provider awareness and expertise around the condition. Accordingly, the authors developed an online video module for clinicians that delivers neuroscience-based psychoeducation...

Symptom Attribution and Neuropsychological Outcomes Among Treatment-Seeking Veterans With a History of Traumatic Brain Injury
CONCLUSIONS: These findings suggest that veterans who routinely attribute neurobehavioral symptoms to their TBI are at greater risk of experiencing poor long-term outcomes, including elevated symptom endorsement and worse objective cognition. Although more research is needed to understand how illness perception influences outcomes in this population, these preliminary results highlight the importance of early psychoeducation regarding the anticipated course of recovery following TBI.PMID:38192216 | DOI:10.1176/appi.neuropsych.20230067 (Source: Journal of Neuropsychiatry and Clinical Neurosciences)
