Growing evidence from animal studies indicates brain-damaging properties of nicotine exposure. Investigations in humans found a wide range functional cerebral effects and cigarette smoking, but focusing on brain damage are sparse. In 22 smokers 23 never-smokers possible differences the structures were investigated using magnetic resonance imaging voxel-based morphometry. Significantly smaller grey matter volume lower density (P = 0.05, corrected) observed frontal regions (anterior cingulate,...

Abstract Background Individuals with bipolar disorder are commonly correctly diagnosed a decade after symptom onset. Machine learning techniques may aid in early recognition and reduce the disease burden. As both individuals at risk those manifest display structural brain markers, magnetic resonance imaging provide relevant classification features. Methods Following pre-registered protocol, we trained linear support vector machine (SVM) to classify according their estimated for using...
Bipolar disorders (BD) belong to the most severe mental disorders, characterized by an early onset and recurrent, episodes or a chronic course with poor psychosocial functioning in proportion of patients.

Abstract In psychiatry, there has been a growing focus on identifying at-risk populations. For schizophrenia, these efforts have led to the development of early recognition and intervention measures. Despite similar disease burden, populations at risk bipolar disorder not sufficiently characterized. Within BipoLife consortium, we used magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data from multicenter study assess structural gray matter alterations in N = 263 help-seeking individuals seven sites. We...
The pathophysiology of bipolar disorder (BD) remains mostly unclear. Yet, a valid biomarker is necessary to improve upon the early detection this serious disorder. Patients with manifest BD display reduced volumes hippocampal subfields and amygdala nuclei. In pre-registered analysis, we used structural MRI (n = 271, 7 sites) compare hippocampus, their subfields/nuclei between help-seeking subjects divided into risk groups for as estimated by BPSS-P, BARS EPIbipolar. We performed...

Methods We introduce easily accessible people, characterize along lines...
Persistent poor psychosocial functioning, which is associated with impairments in cognition, one of the main barriers to recovery schizophrenia. Although cognitive remediation therapy (CRT) has shown general efficacy improving cognition and simultaneously focusing on social behavioural processes may increase its efficacy. In a multicenter, rater-blinded, randomized controlled trial, schizophrenia patients (N = 177) were assigned six months either Integrated Social Cognitive Behavioral Skills...
Aripiprazole once-monthly 400 mg (AOM 400) is a long-acting injectable (LAI) for the maintenance treatment of adults with schizophrenia. The AOM two-injection start initiation regimen 400-TIS) an alternative to one injection plus 14 days oral aripiprazole supplementation. This survey investigated real-world experiences European healthcare professionals (HCPs) 400-TIS. Physicians and nurses in Germany, Italy, United Kingdom who had prescribed and/or administered 400-TIS ≥ 3 times patients...
Ratings of treatment goals for patients with schizophrenia have been studied in both and physicians. However, most studies so far, were assessed either by psychiatrists or patients, but not an individual patient case. Therefore, our study from matched physician-patient pairs. First, expert panel created a questionnaire goals, based on systematic literature search. These rated their relevance the 24 independent psychiatrists. In second part study, questionnaires sent to all over Germany....
