Comparative effects of aripiprazole and selected antipsychotic drugs on lipid peroxidation in plasma
ConclusionAntipsychotics at doses recommended for the treatment of acute episode in schizophrenia may induce the distinct changes in plasma lipid peroxidation. Aripiprazole did not induce significant changes in plasma lipid peroxidation. In further studies, the role of oxidative stress in schizophrenic patients together with their clinical symptomatology and use of antipsychotics should be taken into account.

Diagnostic Consistency and Interchangeability of Schizophrenic Disorders and Bipolar Disorders: A 7 ‐year follow‐up study
ConclusionChanges in the diagnosis of a major psychosis are not uncommon. The interchange between the diagnoses of schizophrenic disorders and bipolar disorders might be attributed to the evolution of clinical symptoms and the observation of preserved social functions that contradict the original diagnosis. While making a psychotic diagnosis, clinicians should be aware of the possibility of the change in diagnosis in the future. (Source: Psychiatry and Clinical Neurosciences)

A case of myxedema coma induced by lithium carbonate in a patient with schizophrenia
We present a rare case of myxedema coma (MC), the most extreme manifestation of hypothyroidism, induced by lithium carbonate (Li) in a patient with schizophrenia. A 68‐year‐old man presented to the emergency department due to unconsciousness. After developing schizophrenia, he had been living in a nursing home for the previous 40 years; he had no any other physical illness. (Source: Psychiatry and Clinical Neurosciences)

Pyridoxamine: A novel treatment for schizophrenia with enhanced carbonyl stress
ConclusionHigh‐dose pyridoxamine add‐on treatment was, in part, effective for a subpopulation of schizophrenia patients with enhanced carbonyl stress. Further randomized, placebo‐controlled trials with careful monitoring will be required to validate the efficacy of high‐dose pyridoxamine for these patients.

DNA Methylation of MB ‐COMT in Malaysian Schizophrenia Patients
ConclusionOur results suggested that the methylation level was affected by the severity of the clinical symptoms of schizophrenia and might also be influenced by the pharmacological treatment. The epigenetic alteration of COMT in the peripheral blood could be a potential peripheral biomarker of schizophrenia. (Source: Psychiatry and Clinical Neurosciences)

Effects of maternal separation and antidepressant drug on epigenetic regulation of the brain ‐derived neurotrophic factor exon I promoter in the adult rat hippocampus
ConclusionThese findings indicate that MS induced epigenetic changes at the BDNF exon I promoter and these changes were prevented by antidepressant drug treatment during adulthood. (Source: Psychiatry and Clinical Neurosciences)

Genetics and epigenetics of autism: A Review
Autism is a developmental disorder that starts before age 3 years, and children with autism have impairment in both social interaction and communication, and have restricted, repetitive, and stereotyped patterns of behavior, interests, and activities. There is a strong heritable component of autism and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) as studies have shown that parents who have a child with ASD have a 2–18% chance of having a second child with ASD. The prevalence of autism and ASD have been increasing during the last 3 decades and much research has been carried out to understand the etiology, so as to develop novel preve...
