Perlini C, Marini A, Garzitto M, Isola Cerruti S, Marinelli V, Rambaldelli G, Ferro Tomelleri L, Dusi N, Bellani Tansella Fabbro F, Brambilla P. Linguistic production and syntactic comprehension in schizophrenia bipolar disorder. Objective: To explore linguistic abilities Specifically, the aims of this study were to: i) investigate microlinguistic (lexicon, morphology, syntax) macrolinguistic (discourse coherence, pragmatics) dimensions speech ii) evaluate skills both Method: performance 30...
Bipolar disorder (BD) patients present an increased risk of suicide attempts. Most current machine learning (ML) studies predicting attempts are cross-sectional, do not employ time-dependent variables, and assess more than one modality. Therefore, we aimed to predict 12-month in a sample BD patients, using clinical brain imaging data. A 163 were recruited followed up for 12 months. Gray matter volumes cortical thickness extracted from the T1-weighted images. Based on previous literature, 56...
Behavioral variant of Frontotemporal Dementia (bvFTD) and Bipolar Disorder (BD) share overlapping symptoms, complicating diagnosis. BvFTD, especially linked to C9orf72 expansions, often mimics BD, highlighting the need for reliable biomarkers. This study aimed differentiate bvFTD from BD using miRNA profiles in neural-enriched extracellular vesicles (NEVs). A cohort 100 subjects was analyzed: 40 (20 sporadic, 20 carriers), healthy controls. NEVs were isolated plasma profiled real-time PCR....
Introduction Awe is a complex emotion unveiling positive and mixed nature, which resembles the Romantic feeling of Sublime. It has increasingly become object scientific investigation in last twenty years. However, its underlying brain mechanisms are still unclear. To fully capture nature lab, researchers have relied on virtual reality (VR) as an emotion-elicitation method, can resemble even phenomena limited space. In this work, multidisciplinary team proposed novel experimental protocol...
Abstract Diagnostic heterogeneity within and across psychotic affective disorders challenges accurate treatment selection, particularly in the early stages. Delineation of shared distinct illness features at phenotypic brain levels may inform development more precise differential diagnostic tools. We aimed to identify prototypes depression psychosis investigate their heterogeneity, with common, comorbid transdiagnostic symptoms. Analyzing clinical/neurocognitive grey matter volume (GMV) data...
Abstract In schizophrenia, neurocognitive subtypes can be distinguished based on cognitive performance and they are associated with neuroanatomical alterations. We investigated the existence of in shortly medicated recent onset psychosis patients, their underlying gray matter volume patterns clinical characteristics. used a K-means algorithm to cluster 108 patients from multi-site EU PRONIA (Prognostic tools for early management) study validated solution independently ( N = 53). Cognitive...
Approaches are needed to stratify individuals in early psychosis stages beyond positive symptom severity investigate specificity related affective and normative variation validate solutions with premorbid, longitudinal, genetic risk measures.
Amyloid deposition within stenotic aortic valves (AVs) also appears frequent in the absence of cardiac amyloidosis, but its clinical and pathophysiological relevance has not been investigated. We will elucidate rate isolated AV amyloid potential significance stenosis (AS). In 130 patients without systemic and/or we collected explanted AVs during surgery: 57 with calcific AS 73 insufficiency (41 sclerosis 32 without, who were used as controls). was found 21 (37%), 4 sclerotic (10%), none...
This study aimed to confirm whether first-episode psychosis patients present a stable trait impairment in theory of mind (ToM) and examine the potential relationship between ToM clinical symptomatology neurocognition. Patients with first episode (N = 160) healthy controls 159) were assessed an extensive neuropsychological test battery, which included mental state decoding task known as "The Reading Mind Eyes" (Eyes test), at baseline reassessed after 1 3 years. The group performed below on...
Background Prior imaging studies have shown structural, functional and biochemical impairments in patients with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), particularly the right hemisphere. In this study we investigated, for first time to best of our knowledge, white-matter microstructure organization GAD. Method A total 12 DSM-IV GAD 15 matched healthy controls underwent a magnetic resonance session diffusion weighted imaging, exploring water molecules by means apparent coefficients (ADCs)....
