Background Current standardized treatments for cognitive impairment in attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder remain limited and their efficacy restricted. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a promising tool enhancing performance several neuropsychiatric disorders. Nevertheless, the effects of tDCS reducing patients with (ADHD) have not yet been investigated. Methods A parallel, randomized, double-blind, sham-controlled trial was conducted to examine on modulation inhibitory...
(SCZ) is a severe mental disorder associated with persistent or recurrent psychosis, hallucinations, delusions, and thought disorders that affect approximately 26 million people worldwide, according to the World Health Organization. Several studies encompass machine learning (ML) deep algorithms automate diagnosis of this disorder. Others study SCZ brain networks get new insights into dynamics information processing in individuals suffering from condition. In paper, we offer rigorous...
O transtorno bipolar é uma condição psiquiátrica crônica caracterizada por alterações extremas de humor, alternando entre episódios mania, marcados euforia ou irritabilidade, e depressão, tristeza profunda perda interesse. Essas flutuações impactam significativamente a qualidade vida dos pacientes, gerando desafios no diagnóstico tratamento. Este estudo realizou revisão integrativa da literatura, analisando dados bases como PubMed, Scielo ScienceDirect, priorizando publicações 2015 2024. Os...
Article AbstractObjective: To assess the effectiveness of olanzapine for treating schizophrenia and to if promotes a better quality life than first-generation antipsychotics (FGAs). Method: Multicenter, naturalistic, randomized controlled study, comparing with FGAs, at hospitalization during 9-month follow-up. Outcome assessors were blind allocated drug. The dose antipsychotic was determined by doctors according their clinical practice routines. Data collection performed from April 1999...
The introduction of the atypical antipsychotic drugs represents an important advance in treatment schizophrenia, because therapeutic efficacy, tolerability, and safety profiles these agents seem to be superior that classical neuroleptics. As would predicted from pharmacologic profile a pure D(2)/D(3) receptor blocker, amisulpride is agent, effective for positive negative symptoms, which can bring about additional improvement social functioning quality life patients with schizophrenia....
Antipsychotics have provided a great improvement in the management of people with schizophrenia. The first generation antipsychotics could establish possibility managing many psychotic subjects an outpatient setting. With advent second (SGA) and third (TGA), other psychiatric disorders such as bipolar depression, mania, autism, major depressive disorder now been approved for use these drugs their treatment. Also, administration more specific assessment tools has allowed better delineation...
Abstract There is a growing interest in the medical use of psychedelic substances, as preliminary studies using them for psychiatric disorders have shown positive results. In particular, one these substances N, N-dimethyltryptamine (DMT), an agonist serotonergic that can induce profound alterations state consciousness. 


In this work, we exploratory tool to reveal DMT-induced changes brain activity EEG data and provide new insights into mechanisms action substance....
OBJECTIVES: To compare rates of rehospitalization and time to relapse in risperidone vs. haloperidol-treated schizophrenic patients discharged from the hospital. METHODS: Randomized controlled trial comparing haloperidol regarding with schizophrenia treated flexible doses during one year. RESULTS: Twenty were assigned 13 haloperidol. One patient each group withdrew consent was lost for follow-up. Six (30.0%) 3 (23.1%) relapsed (p=1.00). However, shorter later (logrank =4.2; p=.04). When...
RESUMO Objetivo: Avaliar a confiabilidade dos resultados numa versão adaptada do Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI) brasileiro para crianças. Métodos: (1) adaptação semântica DHI, primeira versão, população infantil; (2) apreciação DHI por juízes fonoaudiólogos, adequação da adaptada; (3) aplicação piloto em 15 indivíduos ajustes semânticos; (4) 119 crianças com relato de tontura; (5) teste-reteste 34 Resultados: Com relação ao gênero, verificou-se médias mais elevadas escore total nas...

Introduction : Aripiprazole, a dopamine D 2 receptor partial agonist, has also agonist activity at serotonin (5-HT) 1A receptors and antagonist 5-HT 2A receptors. Methods In this 8-week, multicenter, randomized, parallel-group, open-label, flexible-dose study, patients diagnosed with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder were randomized to aripiprazole 15–30 mg/day haloperidol 10–15 mg/day. Results Patients treated both improved from baseline in Positive Negative Syndrome Scale total,...
The applicability of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) in individuals with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) has not yet been investigated. This low-cost, non-invasive, and safe technique optimized to modulate the inhibitory response might be a useful treatment option for those affected by this condition.The aim single center, parallel, randomized, double-blinded, sham-controlled trial is investigate efficacy over prefrontal cortex on modulation control adults...
It has been argued that the central nervous system relies on combining simple movement elements (i.e. motor primitives) to generate complex outputs. However, how are generated and combined during acquisition of new skills is still a source debate. Herein, we present results providing insights into role in obtained by analysing kinematic data collected while healthy subjects learned task. The task consisted playing an interactive game using platform with embedded sensors whose aggregate...
Background: Long-acting injectable antipsychotics may improve medication adherence, thereby improving overall treatment effectiveness. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness, safety, and tolerability of risperidone long-acting injection in schizophrenic patients switched from oral antipsychotic medication. Methods: In a 12-month, multicenter, open-label, noncomparative study, symptomatically stable on with poor adherence during previous 12 months received intramuscular injections (25...
