Audiovisual Data Differentiate Schizophrenia, Bipolar Disorders
Audiovisual data can differentiate between schizophrenia disorders and bipolar disorders.
Schizophrenia & Psychoses
Examining Rare Variant Risk Factors in Individuals With Schizophrenia
While extreme phenotype sequencing has brought about the identification of high-impact rare genetic variants for many complex disorders, this has yet to be tested in studies of severe schizophrenia. A total of 112 individuals with severe, extremely treatment resistant schizophrenia were sequenced and the burden of rare, damaging missense and loss-of-function variants between severe, extremely treatment-resistant schizophrenia, typical schizophrenia, and controls across mutation intolerant genes were compared.
People With Schizophrenia at Higher Risk of Heart Failure
Researchers analyzed genome-wide association studies that explored schizophrenia, heart failure, heart disease, blood pressure, and heart rate variability.
Little Congruence Between Categorical- and Dimensional-Based Diagnoses of Psychotic Disorders
This study compared results from dimensional and categorical models fit to symptom ratings from a large sample of patients hospitalized for psychosis.
Psychosis Relapse Common During Assured Antipsychotic Treatment
Researchers conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the incidence and predictors of psychosis relapse in individuals receiving treatment with antipsychotic agents.
Schizophrenia Practice Guidelines Mostly Recommend Long-Acting Injectable Antipsychotics During First Episode
Recommendations for pharmacotherapy with antipsychotics as both acute and maintenance treatment of schizophrenia were made following a systematic literature review of current clinical practice guidelines.
Weight Gain During Mental Health Treatment May Negatively Impact Hopefulness, Medication Attitudes, and Depression
Researchers conducted a study to investigate the bidirectional nature of the relationship between obesity and depression.
Extrapyramidal Symptoms in Schizophrenia Associated With Higher Healthcare Costs
Extrapyramidal symptoms that developed in patients with schizophrenia after initiation of treatment with atypical antipsychotic agents were associated with increased healthcare resources and costs.
Individuals With the Greatest Risk for Schizophrenia Incur Declining Health After Stressful Life Events
Untreated stress amongst healthcare professionals can lead to a multitude of issues while prolonged stress can contribute to burnout. In order to ensure the safety of both clinicians and patients, effective and feasible interventions are needed for individuals and organizations.
Machine Learning May Improve Diagnostic Accuracy in Schizophrenia, Autism Spectrum Disorder
A recent study aimed to assess the ability of classifiers to identify individuals with schizophrenia, autism spectrum disorder, and typical development based on findings from magnetic resonance imaging.
