Objective:Emerging evidence suggests that inflammation and neurodegeneration underlies bipolar disorder. To investigate biological markers of cytokines brain-derived neurotrophic factor between I, II, other specified disorder with short duration hypomania may support the association inflammatory dysregulation and, more specifically, provide for patients were similar to II from a marker perspective.
<b><i>Background:</i></b> Chronic periodontitis and gingivitis are associated with various diseases; however, their impact on dementia is yet to be elucidated.

Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a trauma-induced mental characterized by fear extinction abnormalities, which involve biological dysfunctions among circuit areas in the brain. Oxytocin (OXT) neuropeptide that regulates sexual reproduction and social interaction has recently earned specific attention due to its role adjusting neurobiological behavioral correlates of PTSD; however, mechanism this achieved remains unclear. The present study aimed examine whether effects OXT on traumatic...

Fronto-temporal also demonstrated to enhance patients' insight into their mental illness an open-label pilot study. investigation aimed investigate therapeutic effects on severity hallucinations, symptoms, large...
Poor insight is prevalent in patients with schizophrenia and has been associated acute illness severity, medication non-adherence poor treatment outcomes. Paradoxically, high various undesirable outcomes, including low self-esteem, depression subjective quality of life (QoL) schizophrenia. Despite the growing body studies conducted Western countries supporting pernicious effects improved psychosis, which bases on level self-stigma, are unclear non-Western societies. The current study...
Low-dose dextromethorphan (DM) might have anti-inflammatory and neurotrophic effects mechanistically remote from an NMDA receptor. In a randomized, double-blind, controlled 12 week study, we investigated whether add-on reduced cytokine levels benefitted opioid-dependent patients undergoing methadone maintenance therapy (MMT). Patients were randomly assigned to group: DM60 (60mg/day dextromethorphan; n = 65), DM120 (120mg/day or placebo (n 66). Primary outcomes the dose required, plasma...
This study aimed to investigate the association between adults with ADHD and risk of developing dementia.Utilizing National Health Insurance Research Database Taiwan, patients were identified compared age- gender-matched controls (1:3).Of participants, 37 (5.48%) developed dementia 81 (4.0%) in control group. Cox proportional hazards regression analysis revealed that participants more likely develop dementia. The crude hazard ratio (HR) is 3.418 (95% confidence interval [CI] = [2.289,...
Introduction Children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) may be particularly vulnerable to the impact of traumatic events, yet association between ASD risk developing acute stress post-traumatic (PTSD) remains uncertain. This study aims investigate this association, addressing gap in large-scale evidence on subject. Methods Conducted as a retrospective matched cohort study, data was sourced from National Health Insurance Research Database (NHIRD) Taiwan, spanning January 1,...
Objective Decreased heart rate variability (HRV) has been reported in generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), but the results are mixed. Little is known about impact of comorbid major depression (MD) on HRV GAD patients. Both issues necessitate further investigation. Methods Twenty unmedicated, physically healthy patients, 20 patients with a secondary diagnosis MD, 40 MD and 60 matched controls were recruited. We used Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale Depression to assess severity, respectively....
Decreased heart rate variability (HRV) has been proposed in bipolar disorder. To date, there no adequate study that investigated resting HRV unmedicated patients with disorder the manic state.To examine whether mania is associated decreased HRV, 61 and 183 healthy volunteers aged 20-65 years were recruited for this case-control analysis. The Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS), Clinical Global Impression-Severity, Hamilton Depression (HAM-D), Anxiety (HAM-A) used clinical ratings. Cardiac...
