Pheromones are very important in animal communication. To learn more about the molecular basis of pheromone action, we studied effects a potent honey bee on brain gene expression. Brood (BP) caused changes expression hundreds genes manner consistent with its known behavioral maturation. exposure young bees causes delay transition from working hive to foraging, and found that BP treatment tended upregulate upregulated specialized brood care but downregulate foragers. However, were age...

<h3>Background:</h3> Approximately one-third of people with schizophrenia have elevated levels antigliadin antibodies the immunoglobulin G type (AGA IgG) — a higher rate than seen in healthy controls. We performed first double-blind clinical trial gluten-free versus gluten-containing diets subset patients who were positive for AGA IgG. <h3>Methods:</h3> In this pilot feasibility study, 16 participants or schizoaffective disorder had IgG (≥ 20 U) but negative celiac disease admitted to an...

Prolactin-related adverse effects contribute to nonadherence and health consequences, particularly in women with severe mental illness. Treating these may improve treatment acceptability, adherence, long-term outcomes.Premenopausal a Diagnostic Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition, Text Revision diagnosis schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, or bipolar disorder were recruited for randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled 16-week trial adjunct aripiprazole (5-15...

Preliminary evidence suggests that people with schizophrenia have decreased relative abundance of butyrate-producing bacteria in the gut microbiota. Butyrate plays a critical role maintaining integrity gut-blood barrier and has number anti-inflammatory effects. This proof-of-concept study was designed to assess whether addition oligofructose-enriched inulin (OEI) prebiotic: Prebiotin could increase production butyrate.

Embryo development is a complex process orchestrated by hundreds of genes and influenced multiple environmental factors. We demonstrate the application simple effective meta-study gene network analyses strategies to characterize co-regulation embryo transcriptome in systems biology framework. A meta-analysis nine microarray experiments aimed at characterizing effect agents potentially harmful mouse embryos improved ability accurately co-expression patterns compared with traditional...

Abstract Prior studies examining the impact of oxytocin on negative symptoms in schizophrenia have yielded mixed results. The current study explored whether can improve more proximal indicators social affiliation as indicated by changes behavior, language and subjective indices among individuals with spectrum disorders during a role-play designed to elicit affiliative responses. We tested hypothesis that daily intranasal administered for 6 weeks would manifested increased skill ratings, use...

Air medical rescue services at night are associated with an increased risk for life and health of the helicopter crew. They not allowed in all federal states Germany only a few bases provide this service. The advantage short transportation times by air cannot be achieved due to flight preparation phase least 30 minutes until lift-off. Two case reports demonstrate that requests helicopters may even lead delay treatment because time arrives on-scene. Thus emergency physicians have know...

Background: While internationally recognized treatment guidelines recommend CBTp for individuals with schizophrenia, this evidence-based intervention remains underutilized. The majority of RCTs evaluating the efficacy use global scores on measures psychosis as primary outcome measure. This would imply that goal is to reduce presence and severity psychotic symptoms. However, not consistent theory behind therapy, thus, most studies outcomes may be inadequately measuring efficacy. Methods:...
