Self-disturbances such as an anomalous perception of one's own body boundary are central to the phenomenology schizophrenia (SZ), but measuring spatial parameters hypothesized self-other has proved be challenging. Peripersonal space (PPS) refers immediate zone surrounding where self interacts physically with environment; that corresponds boundary. PPS is represented by enhanced multisensory integration and faster reaction time (RT) for objects near body. Thus, RT tasks can used estimate We...
Localized photodynamic therapy (PDT) uses a polymeric-photosensitizer (PS)-embedded, covered self-expandable metallic stent (SEMS). PDT is minimally invasive and noteworthy potential alternative for treating esophageal strictures, where surgery not viable option. However, preclinical evidence insufficient, optimized irradiation energy dose ranges localized are unclear. Herein, we validated the doses of SEMS (embedded in PS using chlorin e6 [Ce6] silicone) PDT-induced tissue changes rat...
Severe emotional disturbances such as anxiety and depression have been closely related to aberrant attentional processing of stimuli. However, this has little studied in schizophrenia, which is also characterized by marked impairments heightened negative affect anhedonia. In the current study, we investigated temporal dynamics motivated attention stimuli schizophrenia. For purpose, tracked eye movements 22 individuals with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder (ISZs) 19 healthy controls...
With the rapid advance of technology, human interactions with virtual avatars in simulated social environments are becoming increasingly common. The aim current study was to examine users' perception traits and emotions "neutral," expressionless using an open-source collection. These represented different ethnicities, genders, occupations via visual features including skin tone, facial structure, apparel. We hypothesized that evaluation "neutral" would be influenced by these features. In two...
The COVID-19 pandemic has brought disparities in mental and physical health faced by ethnic minorities to the forefront. In U.S., Hispanic/Latino communities are plagued elevated rates of psychiatric conditions trauma. Exacerbating this burden, common discourse often implicates ethnicity as a causal factor, despite clear evidence systemic causes, including lack access resources, discrimination.To parse apart from determinants wellbeing (such trauma, financial status, loneliness), we examined...
<b><i>Background:</i></b> Bodily self-disturbances are highly salient to the phenomenology of schizophrenia (SZ) but difficult quantify owing subjective nature these experiences that challenge verbal descriptions. The Benson et al. [PsyCh J. 2019 Mar;8(1):110–21] Body Disturbances Inventory (B-BODI) provides visual aids help participants access frequency, distressfulness, and vividness self-experiences with good reliability validity in North American samples. However,...
South Korea was able to successfully control the spread of COVID-19 without nationwide lockdowns or drastic social distancing efforts, but pandemic-related psychological outcome general population remains unknown. We aimed document mental health in relation factors during pandemic. Between March and June 2020, 400 Korean residents participated an online study depression, anxiety, stress, psychosis-risk loneliness, as well indices network, physical demographics. Clinical levels anxiety stress...
The novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has resulted in the worldwide disruption of everyday life but impact and response to pandemic have not been uniform. Many countries rapidly deployed physical-distancing mandates curb spread COVID-19; others did not. Whilst social distancing strategies are necessary reduce transmission virus, it is also important examine unintended psychiatric consequences isolation. We examined psychological distress four with distinct public health (South Korea, Hong...
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) using photosensitizer (PS)-embedded silicone membrane-covered self-expandable metallic stents (SEMSs) can function in palliative therapeutic option for malignant gastrointestinal tract obstruction. However, stent-related complications should be considered, and accurate delivery of light sources is technically difficult. Here, a Chlorin e6 (Ce6)-an embedded stent-based catheter developed to improve its efficacy safety. PDT Ce6-embedded stent successfully induced...
An implicit understanding of one’s body with fixed boundaries allows us to differentiate self from other. However, individuals schizophrenia (SZ) frequently report experiencing bodily self-disturbances such as sudden changes in size and shape the flexible or porous boundary. In order quantify disturbances schizophrenia, we investigated construct peripersonal space (PPS), which represents ‘near’ immediately surrounding our bodies. Whilst physical boundary is fixed, neural representation PPS...
Abstract Background Schizophrenia has been suggested to be a disorder of social communication, which depends on the way language is used convey thoughts, beliefs, feelings, and intentions. Everyday can also reveal personality, emotions, skills speaker. Extensive past research affirms central importance thought as diagnostic features schizophrenia, mostly focused neurocognitive aspects output collected during clinical interviews, not nature language. In this study, we examined narratives...
Background: Implicit theory of mind (iToM) is part early social development (Schneider et al, 2012). It crucial for building sensitivity to the other person or event (Apperly and Butterfill, 2009) tracking other’s mental states. This process occurs without conscious awareness (Low Perner, Measuring iToM may be important understanding rehabilitating cognitive impairments in people with schizophrenia. The Social Attribution Task–Multiple Choice (SAT-MC), which was first developed studying...
