Systematic Review on the Relationship between Toxoplasmosis and Mental Disorders
CONCLUSIONS: Due to the limits of the study, no conclusions can be drawn in childhood and adolescence. However, the results of this systematic review show a possible association of schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and compulsive disorder with T. gondii infection in adults. There is a need to improve control, integrated surveillance and extend prevention measures to the entire population.PMID:38622004 | PMC:PMC11015818 | DOI:10.62641/aep.v52i2.1658 (Source: Actas Espanolas de Psiquiatria)

The impact of familial involvement on dropout in a culturally informed group therapy for people diagnosed with 'schizophrenia'
We examined whether familial involvement and other demographic variables predicted dropout among 101 patients enrolled in culturally informed group therapy for schizophrenia (CIGT-S), which incorporates collectivistic principles and spiritual coping into treatment. We reviewed records and conducted follow-up calls to identify reasons for dropout, and performed survival analyses to identify when dropout was likely.RESULTS: Familial involvement was linked to greater engagement with treatment and lower dropout, signifying a mechanism for improving treatment attendance in this group. Ethnic minorities and patients with higher ...

Risk of Cardiovascular Events in Schizophrenic Patients Treated with Paliperidone Palmitate Once-Monthly Injection (PP1M): A Population-Based Retrospective Cohort Study in Taiwan
ConclusionThis study reported the population-based incidence of cardiovascular events in schizophrenic patients initiating PP1M treatment. PP1M was not associated with increased risks of serious cardiovascular events but was potentially associated with lower risks of cardiovascular hospitalizations compared with oral SGAs.

Blood Cell Count Ratios at Baseline are Associated with Initial
Clinical Response to Clozapine in Treatment-Resistant, Clozapine-Na ïve,
Schizophrenia-Spectrum Disorder
Conclusion Our study emphasizes the potential clinical significance of
baseline NLR and MLR levels as predictors of initial clozapine treatment
response in patients with TRS. Future studies with larger sample sizes and
longer follow-up periods should replicate our findings. [...] Georg Thieme Verlag KG Rüdigerstraße 14, 70469 Stuttgart, GermanyArticle in Thieme eJournals: Table of contents | Abstract | Full text (Source: Pharmacopsychiatry)

Brain structural alterations associated with impulsiveness in male violent patients with schizophrenia
Violence in schizophrenia (SCZ) is a phenomenon associated with neurobiological factors. However, the neural mechanisms of violence in patients with SCZ are not yet sufficiently understood. Thus, this study ai... (Source: BMC Psychiatry)

Novel α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazole-propionic acid receptor (AMPAR) potentiator LT-102: A promising therapeutic agent for treating cognitive impairment associated with schizophrenia
CONCLUSION: We conclude that LT-102 ameliorates cognitive impairments in a phencyclidine-induced model of schizophrenia by enhancing synaptic function, which could make it a potential therapeutic candidate for CIAS.PMID:38615362 | PMC:PMC11016348 | DOI:10.1111/cns.14713 (Source: CNS Neuroscience and Therapeutics)

Subregional thalamic functional connectivity abnormalities and cognitive impairments in first-episode schizophrenia
CONCLUSION: Our findings suggest FC abnormalities between thalamic subregions and cortical areas in FES patients. Increased FC correlated with cognitive deficits and negative symptoms, highlighting the importance of thalamo-cortical connectivity in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia.PMID:38615577 | DOI:10.1016/j.ajp.2024.104042 (Source: Asian Journal of Psychiatry)

The burden for clinical services of persons with an intellectual disability or mental disorder convicted of criminal offences: A birth cohort study of 14,605 persons followed to age 64
CONCLUSION: Sub-groups of cohort members with ID or mental disorders were convicted of violent and non-violent crimes to age 64 suggesting the need for treatment of primary disorders and for antisocial/aggressive behavior. Many patients engaging in violence could be identified at first contact with clinical services.PMID:38613517 | DOI:10.1080/08039488.2024.2337192 (Source: Nordic Journal of Psychiatry)
