Abstract This study investigates treatment-resistant schizophrenia (TRS) by analysing genetic markers in dopamine and serotonin receptors. Conducted on a cohort of 221 patients with mental disorders, the research focused DRD2 HTR2A gene variants—specifically, rs1801028, rs6314, rs7997012, rs6311. The findings suggest specific associations between certain variants TRS. Notably, rs6314 A|G genotype rs7997012 G|G were significantly more prevalent TRS compared to healthy controls (HCs)....
Patients affected by mental disorders smoke more than the general population. The reasons behind this habit are genetic, environmental, etc. This study aims to investigate correlations between some polymorphisms and smoking habits nicotine dependence in patients with psychiatric disorders. We recruited 88 treatment-resistant disorders, including 35 major depressive disorder, 43 bipolar spectrum 10 schizophrenia disorder. carried out a clinical psychometric assessment on current habits, years...

Our objectives verify how phenomenon of domestic violence evolved changed 2020, clarify if these changes correlated evolution Methods Though analysis number daily calls from women national anti-violence parameters related COVID-19 (daily cases, deaths,...
The objective of this study was to investigate the DRD2 rs1800497, rs1799732, rs1801028, DRD3 rs6280, and HTR2A rs6314, rs7997012, rs6311 single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) correlations with resistance second-generation antipsychotics (SGAs) in a real-world sample patients treatment-resistant mental disorders.We divided 129 participants into high treatment (HTR) group (current two SGAs, or clozapine, classic neuroleptics for failure previous SGAs trials) low (LTR) one atypical...
Interest in identifying the clinical implications of neuropathophysiological background schizophrenia is rising, including changes cortical gyrification that may be due to neurodevelopmental abnormalities. Inpatients with can show abnormal regions correlated symptom severity.Our study included 36 patients suffered an acute episode and have undergone structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) calculate local index (LGI).In whole sample, severity symptoms significantly higher LGI different...

Objectives: To help to tackle gender-based violence against women in the aftermath of COVID-19 or other potential crisis situations, as recommended by European Institute for Gender Equality, present study aims investigate relationship between calls National Anti-violence Number (NAN) and socio-sanitary pandemic factors during 2021, a period which scenario changed due containment measures that gradually allowed emerge from condition isolation. In addition, work identify significant changes...
Background. The COVID Stress Scales (CSS) assess COVID-related stress experienced in the past week related to danger and contamination fears, socioeconomic consequences, xenophobia, compulsive checking, reassurance seeking, traumatic symptoms. Our objective was provide a translation into Italian, replication, psychometric validation of CSS general population. Moreover, we aimed test convergent discriminant validity Italian (CSS-I) with respect anxiety, stress, depressive symptoms Method....
Is war evitable? Besides being a question to which humanity is struggling answer, it the title of letter exchange between Freud and Einstein that inspired this editorial. The aim address analyse whether there pattern behind some historical events mass behaviour, starting with ending possibility applying chaos theory. What has been hypothesized for centuries masses behave in manner can overcome individual’s interest but are subject same risks patterns as individual is, i.e., hypernarcissism...
