Exposure to life-threatening events is common and everyone will most likely experience this type of trauma during their lifetime. Reactions these are highly heterogeneous seems be influenced by genes as well. Some individuals develop posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), while others not. In study, our aim was analyze the correlation between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within oxytocin receptor (OXTR) gene (rs53576 rs2254298), RAR-related orphan A (RORA) (rs8042149) cannabinoid 1...
War veterans with PTSD have a high chance of developing major depressive disorder (MDD) at some point, while they can also exhibit increased suicidal tendencies. The primary goal this research was to investigate whether personality dimensions, including temperament, character, and trait impulsivity, were associated comorbid MDD, as well ideation in psychiatric patients suffering from combat-related PTSD.The sample consisted 148 Croatian male war (mean age 49.53 years) treated for the...
Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a complex related disorder, that follows severe traumatic experience, characterized with an intense sense of terror, fear, and helplessness. The aim this study to identify associations genetic variations within candidate genes DRD2 DRD4 various PTSD phenotypes. lifetime current subjects were analyzed separately, each them in Case/Control design, as well regarding BSI CAPS cases only.719 (487 male, 232 female) participants who had experienced...
In order to increase the quality of treatment and improve safety on psychiatric wards, we should learn more about characteristics patients who are at an increased risk being mechanically restrained. The aim present study, conducted in forensic with schizophrenia, was assess whether there is association between temperament character patients’ experience We recruited 56 male without concomitant substance dependence antisocial personality disorder, whom 64% had experienced restraint. Patients...
This study is aimed to determine the prevalence and patterns of antidepressants prescription in outpatient setting Croatia.Retrospective analysis visits child psychiatrists by persons aged 18 younger that included during year 2010. Antidepressant data were identified medication class, drug entity analyzed relation age group, gender, psychiatric diagnosis.Antidepressants prescribed 139 youths (0.24‰), significantly more adolescents than pre-adolescents for treatment depressive disorders...
Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a that occurs in some people who have experienced severe traumatic event. Several genetic studies suggest gene encoding proteins of catechol-O-methyl-transferase (COMT) may be relevant for the pathogenesis PTSD. Some researchers suggested elevation interleukin-6 (IL6) correlates with major depression and The aim this study was to investigate whether single nucleotide polymorphisms COMT rs4680 (Val158Met) IL6 rs1800795 are associated PTSD contribute...
Schizophrenia is a debilitating disease that disrupts the lives of many affected individuals and exerts toll on health system. Only few studies assessed once-monthly injectable formulation paliperidone palmitate (PP-1M) other long-acting antipsychotics in recent onset schizophrenia (ROS). To evaluate whether PP-1M efficacious reducing frequency length hospitalizations psychosis symptom severity patients with ROS.This mirror-image study included 112 patients, suffering from ROS admitted...
Abstract Subjective well-being is decreased in war-affected populations. However, no previous research has investigated the role of temperament and character dimensions life satisfaction among war veterans with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). This study enrolled 148 Croatian male being treated for combat-related PTSD. The participants completed Beck Depression Inventory–Second Edition, Satisfaction Life Scale, Temperament Character Inventory–Revised. Two multivariate regression...
The aim of this study was to test whether personality variables are independently associated with health-related quality life (HRQOL) in lung cancer patients.In a cross-sectional study, 86 non-small cell patients and 73 healthy subjects matched for gender age were assessed the Temperament Character Inventory. In patient group QOL EORTC QLQ-C30. We used multiple linear regressions determine dimensions predict HRQOL. Data on tumor stage, age, education marital status also collected.Lung...

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a related which can occur in an individual after exposure to traumatic event. It most commonly co-occurs with depression. The two disorders share not only overlapping symptoms, but also genetic diathesis. aim of this study was investigate the potential role single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) serotonergic candidate genes 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor 1A (HTR1A) and tryptophan hydroxylase 2 (TPH2) pathogenesis PTSD comorbid psychopathology.719 (487...
Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is an anxiety caused by highly traumatic experiences. The aim of this study was to investigate the influence single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in neuropeptide S receptor 1 (NPSR1) and glutamate decarboxylase 1(GAD1) gene on PTSD its psychopathological aspects among individuals affected Balkan wars during 90s.This conducted as part South Eastern Europe (SEE) molecular mechanisms PTSD. It comprised 719 participants (539 males), including those with...
Individuals who are exposed to traumatic events at an increased risk of developing posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), a condition during which individual's ability function is impaired by emotional responses memories those events. The gene coding for neuropeptide Y (NPY) and the brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) among number candidate variants that have been identified as potential contributors PTSD. aim this study was investigate association between NPY BDNF PTSD in individuals...
Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a highly frequent and disabling psychiatric condition among war-affected populations. The FK506-binding protein 5 (FKBP5) gene the corticotropin-releasing hormone receptor 1 (CRHR1) have previously been implicated in an elevated risk of peritraumatic dissociation PTSD development. Our aim was to investigate association between FKBP5 CRHR1 genotypes diagnosis severity individuals who were affected by Balkan wars during 1990s.This study included...
