Acculturation and clinical symptoms of schizophrenia among Latine adults in the United States.

Background: Research on acculturation and schizophrenia spectrum disorders has yielded inconsistent findings. This study aimed to clarify the influence of acculturation on symptomatology in Latine individuals with schizophrenia in the United States.

Methods: The analysis involved cross-sectional data from Latine (n = 120) and non-Latine White (n = 60) adults with schizophrenia in San Diego, California.

Perceived discrimination and nativity status: risk of cognitive impairment among Latin American older adults.

Objectives: We examined the association between perceived discrimination and the risk of cognitive impairment with no dementia (CIND) and Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) while considering the potential effects of nativity status.

Design: A prospective analysis of discrimination and nativity status with dementia and cognitive impairment was conducted among Latinx adults aged 51 years and older who participated in the Health and Retirement Study.

Setting: A national representative sample.

Anxiety, Depression, and Symptom Severity in Patients with Pulsatile and Non-Pulsatile Tinnitus.

Objective(s): To compare the rates of anxiety and depression between patients with pulsatile (PT) and non-pulsatile tinnitus (NPT), and their correlation with tinnitus severity.

Methods: A prospective cross-sectional study of consecutive patients presenting either to the otolaryngology clinic for pulsatile (PT) and NPT or to a tertiary care tinnitus habituation program (THP) were administered the tinnitus handicap inventory (THI), 7-item general anxiety disorder scale (GAD-7), and 9-item patient health questionnaire (PHQ-9). Median scores between groups and correlation of scores within groups were calculated and compared.
