This study aimed to test the validity of Harvard Trauma Questionnaire (HTQ) and Hopkins Symptom Checklist-25 (HSCL-25) in screening for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) major depressive (MDD), respectively, primary healthcare centers Bosnia Herzegovina. Validating interviews were conducted with 180 randomly selected care patients Middle Bosnia. Statistical analysis performed assess diagnostic accuracy, sensitivity specificity materials revealed an optimal cut-off points 2.06 on HTQ...
Deficits in cognition, social and motivation are significant predictors of poor functional outcomes schizophrenia. Evidence durable benefit following cognitive training is limited. We previously reported the effects 70 h targeted supplemented with exercises (TCT + SCT) verses alone (TCT). Here, we report six months after training.111 participants schizophrenia spectrum disorders were randomly assigned to TCT SCT or TCT-only. Six training, thirty-four subjects (18 SCT, 16 TCT-only) assessed...
We aimed to identify unmet treatment needs for improving social and occupational functioning in early schizophrenia using a data-driven causal discovery analysis.Demographic, clinical, psychosocial measures were obtained 276 participants from the Recovery After an Initial Schizophrenia Episode Early Treatment Program (RAISE-ETP) trial at baseline 6-months, along with of Quality Life Scale. The Greedy Fast Causal Inference algorithm was used learn partial ancestral graph modeling...
Abstract Objective This study sought to examine the effect of ziprasidone on olanzapine or clozapine‐associated medical morbidity such as insulin resistance, diabetes mellitus (DM) and impaired fasting glucose, obesity, hyperlipidemia in patients with schizophrenia schizoaffective disorder. Method was a 6‐week, open label trial 160 mg/day added stable dose clozapine 21 DM, resistance. Results Ten olanzapine‐treated subjects 11 clozapine‐treated were enrolled study. There no significant...
To examine rates of clozapine use among people with psychotic disorders who experience specific indications for clozapine.
Introduction Postponing hospital admission until the active phase of labor is a recommended strategy to safely reduce incidence primary cesarean births. Success this depends on women's decisions about when transfer from home hospital, process that largely absent research childbirth. This study aimed determine decision‐making criteria used by women go after self‐identification onset at home. Methods A qualitative was conducted an academic medical center with sample 21 nulliparous who went...
To measure the impact of a clinical decision support (CDS) tool on total modifiable cardiovascular risk at 12 months separately for outpatients with 3 subtypes serious mental illness (SMI) identified via
ABSTRACT Background Although psychiatric disorders have been associated with reduced immune responses to other vaccines, it remains unknown whether they influence COVID‐19 vaccine effectiveness (VE). This study evaluated risk of hospitalization and estimated mRNA VE stratified by disorder status. Methods In a retrospective cohort analysis the VISION Network in four US states, rate laboratory‐confirmed COVID‐19‐associated between December 2021 August 2022 was compared across diagnoses...
Clinical decision support (CDS) tools are designed to help primary care clinicians (PCCs) implement evidence-based guidelines for chronic disease care. CDS may also be helpful opioid use disorder (OUD), but only if PCCs them in their regular workflow. This study's purpose was understand PCC and clinic leader perceptions of barriers using an OUD-CDS tool
Smoking is highly prevalent in people with psychotic disorders, even the earliest phases of illness. The neural mechanisms nicotine dependence and psychosis overlap may also be linked to deficits neurocognition motivation psychosis. Both are recognized as important clinical targets, though previous research examining effects smoking on these features has been inconsistent. Here, we examine relationships between status over first two years treatment for through a secondary analysis Recovery...
Abstract Our program attempted to integrate community mental health in primary care settings post-conflict Travnik, Bosnia and Herzegovina. The training underwent an extensive evaluation determine its impact on the knowledge, confidence performing medical psychiatric procedures, skills attitudes of 93 Bosnian practitioners (PCPs). There was a significant improvement PCPs all clusters procedures (counseling, prescribing psychotropic medications, treating trauma victims, diagnosing assisting...
Experiencing a first episode of schizophrenia during adolescence may influence response to cognitive training. This study compared training in patients with early-onset versus those adult-onset schizophrenia.
Poor social functioning is an emerging public health problem associated with physical and mental consequences. Developing prognostic tools critical to identify individuals at risk for poor guide interventions. We aimed inform prediction models of by evaluating relying on bio-behavioral data using machine learning. With from the Human Connectome Project Healthy Young Adult sample (age 22-35, N = 1,101), we built Support Vector Regression estimate variable sets brain morphology behavior...
The objective of the study was to determine whether race plays a role in relationship between waist circumference and insulin resistance an African American white sample subjects with schizophrenia. A cross-sectional comparison conducted 55 treated antipsychotic medication. Each subject underwent anthropometric assessment hip circumference, height, weight body mass index. Laboratory assays were performed assess by homeostasis model for (HOMA-IR). Data fifty-five are reported: white/Caucasian...
Abstract Background Schizophrenia is characterized by devastating impairments in occupational and social functioning. These result poor quality of life, have significant societal burden, are resistant to current treatments. Although a number predictors functional outcomes been identified, the causal relationships between malleable illness variables status must be discovered establish most promising candidate treatment targets. The aim this research employ data-driven network approach...
OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Development of interventions that improve social functioning (SF) in first episode psychosis (FEP) is hindered by a poor understanding the neural mechanisms underlying SF deficits. This research aims to identify correlates FEP, and evaluate whether this substrate malleable response cognitive training. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: secondary data-analysis participants an ongoing randomized clinical trial investigating 12 weeks targeted training neuroprotective versus treatment...
