Background. The authors' goal was to investigate the presence or absence of theory mind impairments among people with schizophrenia during remission. Recent research results interpret deficits as state rather than trait characteristics, connecting these mainly acute episode psychosis. Methods. Twenty patients in remission and 20 matched control subjects were evaluated. Participants presented one first-order task, second-order two metaphor irony tasks adapted from previous studies. Results....
We tested the association between theory of mind (ToM) performance and structural changes in brains patients early course schizophrenia.Voxel-based morphometry (VBM) data 18 with schizophrenia were compared those 21 controls. ToM skills assessed by computerized faux pas (FP) tasks.Patients performed significantly worse FP tasks than healthy subjects. VBM revealed reduced gray matter density certain frontal, temporal subcortical regions schizophrenia. Poor schizophrenics correlated reduction...
Recent approaches to the 'theory of mind' and pragmatics support that, if we did not have any idea about what other people know, could hardly use language effectively. Successful communication (the pragmatic aspect language) depends on inferring beliefs intentions partner in conversation. Such successful is linguistically realized part by cohesion abiding maxims derived from cooperative principle. However, violations Gricean implicatures are generally used everyday language, mainly point at...
Bevezetés: A szuicid viselkedés megelőzése szempontjából kiemelt jelentőséggel bír az akut veszély felismerése. Ugyanakkor kevés olyan adattal rendelkezünk, amelynek segítségével megbízhatóan felismerhető lenne a preszuicidális lelkiállapot. Célkitűzés: Galynker és munkacsoportja által kidolgozott krízis szindróma alapján kifejlesztett szűrőteszt kérdőív magyar adaptálása. Módszer: Az általános pszichiátriai vizsgálat mellett szűrésére alkalmas rövid Akut Szuicid Rizikó Teszt Rihmer-féle...
Abstract Background Several studies demonstrated the role of depressive mood and cognitive impairment in background elevated mortality decreased Quality Life (QoL) old age. Our aim was to assess symptoms among older people order determine if those are recognized treated or not, elucidate association between them investigate their impact on QoL. Methods In framework ICT4Life project self-administered questionnaires clinical screening tools were used QoL, functions 60 persons over age 65....
Inflammation and immune dysregulation could contribute to the pathogenesis of schizophrenia. Osteopontin (OPN) is a cytokine-like glycoprotein involved in inflammation modulating responses, it can also directly modify cytokine expression survival microglia. Furthermore, elevated gene OPN first episode psychosis has recently been described, but date level not investigated Imbalance T-helper subtypes represent vulnerability factor for In this study, we analyzed concentration OPN, levels...
Suicide is the most severe complication of major depressive disorder (MDD). Novel research assumes role immunological dysregulation in background – several studies have reported alterations number inflammatory cells related to both MDD and suicidality. There are currently no objective, routinely measured parameters indicate suicidal vulnerability. However, altered cell numbers ratios been proposed as potential biomarkers suicide risk (SR). The present aims examine changes these values...
The authors evaluated the presence or absence of informative morphogenetic variants in patients with schizophrenia compared alcohol-dependent patients.Taking into consideration criticisms Waldrop Scale, which was widely used until recently to define variants, 56 50 consecutively admitted and patients. They made a distinction between minor malformations (those developing during organogenesis) phenogenetic after organogenesis). A kappa index above 75% considered reliable.Thirty-four met...
Psychiatry as a medical discipline is becoming increasingly important due to the high and increasing world-wide burden associated with mental disorders. Surprisingly, however, there lack of young academics choosing psychiatry career. Previous evidence on students' perspectives abundant but has methodological shortcomings. Therefore, by attempting avoid previous shortcomings, we aimed contribute better understanding predictors following three outcome variables: current attitudes towards...
Background Childhood obesity proves to be an important public health issue, since it serves as a potential risk factor for multiple diseases. Food addiction could also serve etiological factor. As childhood plays serious issue in Hungary, we aimed adapt and validate the Hungarian version of Yale Addiction Scale Children (H-YFAS-C). Methods A total 191 children were assessed with H-YFAS-C Eating Disorder Inventory (EDI). The following psychometric properties analyzed: internal consistency,...
Early childhood adversity is a strong predictor of the development major depressive disorder (MDD), but not all depressed patients experience early life stress (ELS). Cardio-metabolic diseases and cognitive deficits often coincide in MDD worsen its course outcome. Adverse experiences have been associated with elevated risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD), little known on impact ELS factors MDD. Here, we examined without to explore effects serum lipid lipoprotein levels performances...
Background: Patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) have various theory of mind (ToM) impairments which often predict a poor outcome. However, findings on ToM deficits in MDD are inconsistent and suggest the role moderating factors. Child abuse neglect strong predictors adult associated poorer clinical course trajectory. Objective: Because early-life adversities result forms nonclinical samples, our aim was to investigate if they significant confounding factors MDD. Methods: We...
