Many studies have attempted to discriminate patients with schizophrenia from healthy controls by machine learning using structural or functional MRI. We included both and diffusion MRI (dMRI) performed random forest (RF) support vector (SVM) in this study. evaluated the performance of classifying RF method SVM 504 features (volume and/or fractional anisotropy trace) 184 brain regions. enrolled 47 23 age- sex-matched resampled our data into a balanced dataset Synthetic Minority Oversampling...
Cellular reprogramming using small molecules (SMs) without genetic modification provides a promising strategy for generating target cells cell-based therapy. Human adipose-derived stem (hADSCs) are desirable cell source clinical application due to their self-renewal capacity, easy obtainability and the lack of safety concerns, such as tumor formation. However, methods convert hADSCs into neural cells, (NSCs), inefficient, few if any studies have achieved efficient functional neurons. Here,...
To investigate the gender difference of early symptoms appearing before onset psychotic in patients with first-episode schizophrenia, we reviewed medical records 63 (38 males, 25 females), who were hospitalized for schizophrenia. The frequency and duration prodromal symptoms, Clinical Global Impression scale scores, Assessment Functioning (GAF) scores at admission, other clinical characteristics recorded all patients. Overall, most common attenuated positive (89%), followed by mood (86%)....
Abstract Neocortical phenotype of cortical surface area (CSA) and thickness (CT) are influenced by distinctive genetic factors undergo differential developmental trajectories, which could be captured using the individualized structural covariance (ISC). Disturbed patterns neocortical development maturation underlie perceptual disturbance psychosis including auditory hallucination (AH). To demonstrate utility selected ISC features as primal biomarker AH in first‐episode (FEP) subjects...
Antidepressant prescription for youths has recently been on the increase. There is a growing concern over increasing off-label usage of antidepressants. Current data antidepressant vary across countries and healthcare systems. Therefore, we examined extent pattern Korean children adolescents using population-based data. Our was retrieved from National Health Insurance Service Sample Cohort year 2013. Among 0.2 million aged 6-18 years cohort, subjects who had received any medication in 2013...
Objective More recently, attention has turned to the linkage between childhood trauma and emotional dysregulation, but evidence in bipolar disorder (BD) is limited. To determine neurobiological relationships trauma, current anxiety, impulsivity, we investigated cortical volumetric correlates of these clinical factors BD.Methods We studied 36 patients with DSM-5 BD 29 healthy controls. Childhood coexisting impulsivity were evaluated Korean version-Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ),...
Abstract Aim A clinical high risk ( CHR ) for psychosis is regarded as the state of being at developing psychosis. However, rate transition to among subjects has been declining over time. We aimed investigate effects possible causes rate. Methods total 129 were divided into two groups according date enrollment: 2005–2009 group and 2009–2013 group. Baseline demographic characteristics, including medication prescription, compared. The duration untreated prodromal positive symptoms DUPP was...
Objective Disaster survivors often experience negative impacts on their mental health, but some may also exhibit posttraumatic growth, overcoming adversity, and finding positive outcomes. This study aimed to identify psychological factors influencing growth (PTG) among students who survived the Sewol ferry disaster.Methods The used a longitudinal design. Data were collected at 6-month intervals between high school graduation 6 years after disaster. obtained from 48 adolescents completed...
Abstract Introduction A psychotic relapse of schizophrenia is commonly preceded by nonpsychotic behavioral symptoms and signs, detection these early signs may enable prevention schizophrenia. This study aimed to test the predictive validity a Korean version Early Signs Scale (K-ESS) for detecting signs. Materials Methods In this multicenter noninterventional 52-week prospective study, outpatients diagnosed as having within 5 years were recruited. The K-ESS Clinical Global Impression-Severity...
ResultsZZA total of 209 participants (schizophrenia, 101 ; bipolar disorder, 49 healthy controls 59) were enrolled. Our scale showed high reliability and concurrent validity compared with the order subtest short form Weschler Adult Intelligence scale. Internal also was (Cronbach’s alpha=0.904). Most items easy to answer highly discriminative. The test information curve our be more informative in patients low social cognition ability.
Electroconvulsive therapy(이하 ECT)는 1938년 Ugo Cerletti 와 Luigi Bini에 의해 처음으로 고안된 치료 방법이다. 1950년대 중반 barbiturate와 succinylcholine을 이용하여 마 취하에 ECT를 시행하면서 이전보다 안전하게 환자들을 치 료할 수 있게 되었다. 하지만 정신증상과 기분증상을 치료할 있는 덜 침습적인 약물치료가 개발되고 나서 ECT의 사용 빈도는 감소하였다. 그러나 일부 환자의 경우 약물치료에도 증상 호전이 없거 나 부작용으로 약을 복용할 없는 등의 약물치료의 한계가 나타났다. 예를 들어 조울병 우울삽화에서 장기간 항우울제 를 투약함에도 경우가 있으며, 투 약 후 조증삽화가 발생하는 있어 우울삽화 료에 어려움이 있다. 조현병 환자 중 10~30%는 약물치 반응하지 않으며 추가적으로 30%의 환자에서 부분적 반응은 있으나 양성증상이 지속되어 일상생활에 장애를 일 으킨다는 결과가 이러한 한계를 해결하기...
Objective : This study investigated the factors affecting prescription interval of benzodiazepines and related psychotropics. Methods The intervals were extracted from all patients (n=1873) who visited outpatient department a single psychiatric hospital for one month in June 2019, potential to longer psychotropic explored. Logistic regression analysis was performed assess relationship between risk length medication days. Results Two cutoff values (30 days 35 days) used appropriate interval....
