Gender, race, and space: A qualitative exploration of young Black women's perceptions of urban neighborhoods
Am J Community Psychol. 2024 Apr 21. doi: 10.1002/ajcp.12752. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTHow people think and feel about their neighborhood impacts the way they think of themselves and their futures. These linkages are especially important to understand in the case of urban-residing young Black women. Researchers know very little about what contributes to young Black adults' urban neighborhood perceptions and often rely on "expert" definitions of markers of neighborhood quality. These definitions and subsequent explorations of residents' neighborhood assessment have not adequately considered intersecting oppressive syst...

Exploring psychiatric patient restraints: Balancing safety, ethics, and patient rights in mental healthcare
Asian J Psychiatr. 2024 Apr 15;96:104051. doi: 10.1016/j.ajp.2024.104051. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTRestraint, often linked with limiting an individual's freedom of movement, has become a focal point of extensive discussion and evaluation within the realm of mental healthcare. Striking a delicate balance between ensuring individual safety and minimizing reliance on restraint methods poses a significant challenge. In mental health inpatient settings, the prevalent forms of restraint encompass physical, chemical, environmental, and psychological methods. Paradoxically, the consequences of employing restraint can be sever...

Prevalence and validity of ICD-11 posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and complex PTSD: A population-based survey of Hong Kong adults
Asian J Psychiatr. 2024 Apr 10;96:104045. doi: 10.1016/j.ajp.2024.104045. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe present study aimed to report the prevalence of ICD-11 posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and complex PTSD (CPTSD) in the general adult Hong Kong population, and examine the validity of the Chinese International Trauma Questionnaire (ITQ). This descriptive cross-sectional population-based telephone survey included a representative sample of 1070 non-institutionalized permanent Hong Kong residents ages 18-64 years. Participants provided responses to the Chinese version of the ITQ, and measures of adverse childhood e...

A case of insulinoma misidentified as schizophrenia due to its manifestation in neuropsychiatric symptoms
AbstractInsulinomas can present with neuroglycopenic symptoms suggesting neuropsychiatric disorders, delaying diagnosis and treatment. We recently treated a 65-year-old woman with insulinoma who was misdiagnosed at her nearby psychiatric clinic as having schizophrenia because of personality changes and memory impairment; she was treated with brexpiprazole, which was discontinued due to persistence of the symptoms. Despite her relatively low casual plasma glucose (70 mg/dL), the physician at the psychiatric clinic did not investigate the possibility of hypoglycemia, partly because her HbA1c level (5.2%) was within normal ...

Depression mediates the relationship between exposure to stigma and medication adherence among people living with HIV in low-resource setting: a structural equation modeling approach
This study hypothesizes that depression mediates the association between exposure to stigma and medication non-adherence in people living with HIV (PLHIV). We recruited 372 PLHIV from the Stigma, health-related Quality of life, antiretroviral Adherence, and Depression among people living with HIV (SQuAD-HIV) project, a multicenter cross-sectional study conducted between October 2021 and February 2022 among PLHIV attending six ART clinics in two geopolitical regions of northern Nigeria. A structural equation modeling (SEM) framework, utilizing the full information maximum likelihood estimator, was used to elucidate the path...

Genes, Vol. 15, Pages 519: Single-Nucleus Transcriptome Profiling from the Hippocampus of a PTSD Mouse Model and CBD-Treated Cohorts
Jin Li
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is the most common psychiatric disorder after a catastrophic event; however, the efficacious treatment options remain insufficient. Increasing evidence suggests that cannabidiol (CBD) exhibits optimal therapeutic effects for treating PTSD. To elucidate the cell-type-specific transcriptomic pathology of PTSD and the mechanisms of CBD against this disease, we conducted single-nucleus RNA sequencing (snRNA-seq) in the hippocampus of PTSD-modeled mice and CBD-treated cohorts. We constructed a mouse model by adding electric foot shocks following exposure to single prolonged st...

Autoimmune encephalitis: what the radiologist needs to know
AbstractAutoimmune encephalitis is a relatively novel nosological entity characterized by an immune-mediated damage of the central nervous system. While originally described as a paraneoplastic inflammatory phenomenon affecting limbic structures, numerous instances of non-paraneoplastic pathogenesis, as well as extra-limbic involvement, have been characterized. Given the wide spectrum of insidious clinical presentations ranging from cognitive impairment to psychiatric symptoms or seizures, it is crucial to raise awareness about this disease category. In fact, an early diagnosis can be dramatically beneficial for the progno...

Anxiety and depressive personality disorders in the modern world
Acta Psychol (Amst). 2024 Apr 19;246:104285. doi: 10.1016/j.actpsy.2024.104285. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe study's significance lies in the multitude of challenges facing individuals today, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, military conflicts like the war in Ukraine, and the escalating rates of cancer morbidity and mortality. These factors contribute to the onset of anxiety and depressive disorders, disrupting various aspects of individuals' mental functioning and social interactions. Addressing these disorders effectively necessitates a comprehensive approach, combining pharmacological interventions with psychotherape...

Characterization and quantification of epilepsy patients with hospital episodes in Portugal: A multicenter retrospective study from Liga Portuguesa Contra a Epilepsia
CONCLUSION: This study showed similar results to other European countries. However, due to methodological limitations, a prospective epidemiological study is needed to support this observation. Furthermore, the present study provides a comprehensive picture of hospitalized epilepsy patients in Portugal, their comorbidities, mortality, and hospital procedures.PMID:38642529 | DOI:10.1016/j.yebeh.2024.109771 (Source: Epilepsy and Behaviour)
