<h3>Background</h3> Patients with schizophrenia show deficits in early-stage visual processing, potentially reflecting dysfunction of the magnocellular pathway. The system operates normally a nonlinear amplification mode mediated by glutamatergic (<i>N</i>-methyl-D-aspartate) receptors. Investigating therefore permits evaluation underlying etiologic hypotheses. <h3>Objectives</h3> To evaluate schizophrenia, relative to known neurochemical and neuroanatomical substrates, examine relationships...
Schizophrenia is associated with deficits in higher-order processing of visual information. This study evaluated the integrity early order to evaluate overall pattern dysfunction schizophrenia.Steady-state visual-evoked potential responses were recorded over occipital cortex patients schizophrenia and age- sex-matched comparison volunteers. Visual-evoked potentials obtained for stimuli composed isolated squares that modulated sinusoidally luminance contrast, number squares, or chromatic...
Of the many impacts of COVID-19 on contemporary healthcare is rapid and overwhelming shift to remote telehealth (TH) service. The precise effect TH treatment yet unknown, possible child/adult differences are an essential point clarification for utility services efforts improve upon them.The current study considers data reflecting pre-, during-, post-COVID-19 lockdown over first six months 2020. Data comprise records N = 43,294 delivered 2520 unique clients across multiple outpatient mental...
Introduction: Although the prevalence of a pathogenic variant in BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes is about 1:400 (0.25%) general population, as high 1:40 (2.5%) among Ashkenazi Jewish population. Despite cost-effective preventive measures for mutation carriers, Orthodox Jews constitute cultural religious group that requires different approaches to genetic testing relative other groups. This study analyzed dialog key stakeholders community members explore factors influence decision-making New York...
A right-handed man developed stuttering, without aphasia, as a result of circumscribed subcortical infarction in the right hemisphere. He never stuttered before and has no family history stuttering. Damage to callosal pathways coordinating activity both hemispheres during speech is proposed possible explanation for
Background: The study of the pathways into care as a social process subject to wide range influences is needed build appropriate and effective mental health services for culturally diverse societies. Material: Grounded theory situational analysis 21 in-depth interviews explores help-seeking behaviour ultra-Orthodox Jewish parents: which parents follow how they make decision consult regular their child. Discussion: Three are influenced by glob/calization dynamics gender: draw on parenting...
Given the high prevalence (1 in 40) of BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations among Ashkenazi Jews, population-based BRCA genetic testing this ethnic subgroup may detect more mutation carriers. We conducted a cross-sectional survey Orthodox Jewish women New York City to assess breast cancer risk, knowledge, self-efficacy, perceived risk worry, religious cultural factors affecting medical decision-making. used descriptive statistics multivariable logistic regression models identify predictors...
<b><i>Background/Aims:</i></b> Ashkenazi Jews have a 1:40 prevalence of <i>BRCA1/2</i> mutations. Orthodox are an understudied population with unique cultural and religious factors that may influence genetic testing uptake. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> Using mixed-methods approach, we conducted cross-sectional survey focus groups among Jewish women in New York/New Jersey to explore affecting decision-making about<i>...

Abstract Marriage is an important life goal and highly valued among Orthodox Jews. Shidduch dating refers to the arranged system that typically used within community. Previous research anecdotal evidence suggest shidduch has become difficult challenging for many individuals, yet there a dearth of on subject. This study set out explore issues related marriage Jewish community using large sample size. Participants included 889 individuals across diverse demographic groups who responded...
