Positive effects on mood have been observed in subjects who underwent treatment of glabellar frown lines with botulinum toxin and, an open case series, depression remitted or improved after such treatment. Using a randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trial design we assessed injection to the region as adjunctive major depression. Thirty patients were randomly assigned verum (onabotulinumtoxinA, n = 15) placebo (saline, group. The primary end point was change 17-item version Hamilton...
To determine whether a single treatment of botulinum toxin A in the forehead (glabellar) region can improve symptoms depression patients with major depressive disorder (MDD), as defined by DSM-IV criteria.Thirty participants were randomly assigned to receive either placebo or (BTA; onabotulinumtoxinA) injections forehead. Female received 29 units; male 39 units. At week 12, groups crossed over. Participants evaluated at weeks 0, 3, 6, 15, 18, and 24 for improvement MDD using Patient Health...
Problems arising from hypersexual behavior are often seen in clinical settings. We aimed to extend the knowledge about characteristics of individuals with disorder (HD). A group people who fulfilled proposed diagnostic criteria for HD (men HD, n = 50) was compared a healthy controls (n 40). investigated differences sociodemographic, neurodevelopmental, and family factors based on self-report questionnaires interviews. Men reported elevated rates sexual activity, paraphilias, consumption...
Preliminary data indicates that the Coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 disease (COVID-19) pandemic may have a substantial impact on mental health and well-being. We assessed in response to lockdown Germany between 1 April 2020 15 using cross-sectional online survey (
Normal aging is associated with brain atrophy and cognitive decline. Working memory, involved in functioning daily living, particularly affected. Music training gained momentum research on plasticity possible transfer effects of interventions working especially the context healthy aging. This longitudinal voxel-based morphometry study evaluated 6-month music grey matter volume auditory memory performance 132 older adults. part a randomized controlled trial comparing two interventions: piano...
Objective The present study investigated the cardiovascular, genital, and endocrine changes in women after masturbation-induced orgasm because neuroendocrine response to sexual arousal humans is equivocal. Methods Healthy (N = 10) completed an experimental session, which a documentary film was observed for 20 minutes, followed by pornographic another additional minutes. Subjects also participated control participants watched 60 After subjects had 10 minutes they were asked masturbate until...
Abstract Although heterosexual and homosexual individuals clearly show differences in subjective response to sexual stimuli, the neurobiological processes underlying orientation are largely unknown. We addressed question whether expected visual stimuli may be reflected brain activation pattern. Twenty‐four healthy male volunteers, 12 heterosexuals homosexuals, were included study. BOLD signal was measured while subjects viewing erotic videos of content. SPM02 used for data analysis....
Abstract Contrary to public perception, child sex offending (CSO) and paedophilia are not the same. Only half of all cases CSO motivated by paedophilic preference, a preference does necessarily lead CSO. However, studies that investigated clinical factors accompanying contributing so far mainly relied on paedophiles with history The aim this study was distinguish between associated sexual (paedophile versus non-paedophile) offender status (with without CSO). Accordingly, 2 (sexual...
Recent data suggest that musical practice prevents age-related cognitive decline. But experimental evidence remains sparse and no concise information on the neurophysiological bases exists, although decline represents a major impediment to healthy aging. A challenge in field of aging is developing training regimens stimulate neuroplasticity delay or reverse symptoms cerebral To be successful, these should easily integrated daily life intrinsically motivating. This study combines for...
Pedophilia is a psychiatric disorder that inter-related with but distinct from child sexual offending (CSO). Neural alterations reportedly contribute to both pedophilia and CSO, until now, no study has distinguished the brain structural anomalies associated those specifically CSO in pedophilic men. Using high-resolution T1-weighted images voxel-based morphometry, we analyzed gray matter (GM) volume of following 219 men recruited at four acquisition sites Germany: 58 pedophiles history 60...
While aging is characterized by neurodegeneration, musical training associated with experience-driven brain plasticity and protection against age-related cognitive decline. However, evidence for the positive effects of mostly comes from cross-sectional studies while randomized controlled trials larger sample sizes are rare. The current study compares influence six months piano music listening/musical culture lessons in 121 musically naïve healthy elderly individuals regard to white matter...
