Evaluation of Criminal Responsibility in a Patient with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome and Intellectual Disability.

The current study presents the case of a young man with intellectual disability related to fetal alcohol syndrome, referred for forensic psychiatric examination of criminal liability following charges of armed robbery, and who was considered not criminally liable. In such cases, it is crucial to perform early diagnosis and rely on educational and developmental services and a supportive home environment to decrease complications such as substance use and criminal involvement.

Heritability, phenotypic, and genetic correlations across dimensional and categorical models of bipolar disorder in a family sample.

Background: Bipolar disorder (BD) presents with a wide range of symptoms that vary among relatives, casting doubt on categorical illness models. To address this uncertainty, we investigated the heritability and genetic relationships between categorical and dimensional models of BD in a family sample.

Methods: This retrospective study included participants (n = 397 Females, n = 329 Males, mean age 47 yr) in the Amish-Mennonite Bipolar Genetics (AMBiGen) study from North and South America that were assigned categorical mood disorder diagnoses ("narrow" or "broad") by structured psychiatric interview and completed the Mood Disorder Questionnaire (MDQ), which assesses lifetime history of manic symptoms and associated impairment.

Virtual reality cognitive remediation tool for individuals with mild cognitive impairment: study protocol for a feasibility randomized clinical trial.

Introduction: With the growing older adult population, the European Union emphasizes the need to promote research in healthy aging trough multidisciplinary and innovative approaches, including the integration of advanced technologies like virtual reality (VR) in cognitive rehabilitation. This reflects the increasing awareness of the importance of addressing challenges related to neurodegenerative diseases in the older adult population. Our study aims to present a protocol that will assess the feasibility and provide a preliminary measure of effectiveness for an intervention using immersive CR technology for cognitive remediation (CR) in individuals with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI).

Santiago Ramón y Cajal: Artistic legacy in Science, 90 years later.

Ninety years after his death in 1934, the artistic beauty of the innovative brain images created by physician and histologist Santiago Ramón y Cajal, as well as his revolutionary neuroanatomical theory, remains relevant today. As a scientist who isolated brain nerve cells, he visualized them as physically distinct entities, answering one of the most crucial questions of his time. Prior to his work, the prevailing belief was in the reticular theory, which suggested that nervous tissue was continuous and formed a network of interconnected cells.

Healthcare students are faced with the issue of the rights of people with disabilities and the quality of services: Are we training future healthcare workers who overemphasize technology?

This research describes incorporating the principles of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) in training students at an Italian university. It also describes the perception of students on the rights of people with disabilities and the quality of services using the questionnaire the Well-Being at Work and Respect Right (WWRR), the objective is to compare the responses of students from the faculty of health sciences and health professionals human rights respect, organizational well-being, and job satisfaction in healthcare environments method: Cross-sectional study the data obtained were analyzed using the ANOVA test and Chi-SQUARE test results: University students have little recognition of the professional roles for the social and labor inclusion of users of health services, which promotes rethinking the type of training they receive conclusions: the findings show the need to incorporate in a more detailed way the principles of the CRPD in university training plans that promote an emphasis on disabilities based on human rights, despite the fact that the perception by students is optimistic in relation to respect for the rights of users in health services where they have done their training or practices, these results indicate a reevaluation of university training that gives a balance between technical skills but with an emphasis on human rights and social inclusion in health services.

A systematic review on the prevalence of a silent female disorder in Arabic-speaking countries and the Middle East: sexual dysfunctions and the role of culture.

Introduction: Female sexual dysfunction (FSD) remains a silent problem, especially in Arabic-speaking countries and the Middle East and most of the data are from Western countries. Sociocultural determinants haven't been getting the same attention as biological and psychological factors when studying sexual health.

Objectives: To assess the prevalence of FSD in the Arab and Middle Eastern world and understand the sociocultural determinants related.

Alexithymia and Bipolar Disorder: Virtual Reality Could Be a Useful Tool for the Treatment and Prevention of These Conditions in People with a Physical Comorbidity.

Alexithymia, a predictor in chronic illnesses, like cardiovascular and bipolar disorder (CD-BD), could be improved with a virtual reality (VR) cognitive remediation program. This secondary analysis of a previous randomized controlled trial (RCT) evaluates alexithymia improvement and its factors in an experimental group versus a control group, exploring extensions to individuals with comorbid non-psychiatric chronic conditions. A feasibility cross-over RCT (ClinicalTrials.

The S20 Brazilian Mental Health Report.

The Brazilian Academy of Sciences commissioned a report on mental health to develop strategies for addressing mental health challenges in the post-pandemic world. These strategies should be evidence-based, culturally sensitive, resource-efficient, and promote equity, while being tailored to specific contexts. The report's proposals are meant for discussion among S20 participating Academies of Sciences, serving as a collection of ideas to influence global mental health policies, rather than mandatory guidelines.

The Vaginal Penetration Skills Scale (VPSS): a paradigm shift in genito-pelvic pain/penetration disorder screening, assessment, and stratification.

Background: Receptive vaginal penetration skills have been implicated in the etiology, explanatory models, and treatment of genito-pelvic pain penetration disorder (GPPPD). However, there are no psychometric skills measures designed to screen, assess, and stratify GPPPD.

Aim: We aimed to develop and psychometrically evaluate a new scale-the Vaginal Penetration Skills Scale (VPSS)-to screen, assess, and stratify GPPPD.

António Egas Moniz: From pioneering brain imaging to controversial psychosurgery. A 150th birthday celebration.

António Egas Moniz, born in 1874, was a pioneer in neurology, neurosurgery and psychiatry who brought about important changes in the 1920s using groundbreaking brain imaging techniques, such as cerebral angiography. This innovative procedure allowed the visualization of brain structures, leading to many advances in neurology and neurosurgery. Moniz also made noteworthy contributions to psychosurgery, including the development of prefrontal lobotomy.

Informal caregivers compared with users and health workers on well-being and respect for human rights in mental health care services.

Background: This study aimed to measure differences among informal caregivers, users, and mental healthcare workers (MHW) regarding job/organizational satisfaction and perceptions of respect for rights in the mental health services of one region of Italy.

Methods: A sample of 100 caregivers, 240 MHW, and 200 users completed the "Well-Being at Work and Respect for Human Rights Questionnaire" (WWRR) in community mental health centers in Sardinia.
