Mesoporous Cu-Doped Manganese Oxide Nano Straws for Photocatalytic Degradation of Hazardous Alizarin Red Dye.

The present work reports the photocatalytic degradation of alizarin red (AR) using Cu-doped manganese oxide () nanomaterials as catalysts under UV light irradiation. Cu-doped manganese oxides were synthesized by a very facile hydrothermal approach and characterized by energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, powder X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller analysis, UV-vis spectroscopy, and photoluminescence techniques. The structural, morphological, and optical characterization revealed that the synthesized compounds are nanoparticles (38.

Chlorpromazine-Induced Relapse of Tourette Syndrome in a Patient With Intellectual Disability, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, and Schizophrenia.

Tourette syndrome (TS) is a chronic neuropsychiatric disorder characterized by recurrent multiple motor and vocal tics that last for at least one year and follow a waxing and waning course. A fundamental step in the pathophysiology of TS is the hyperactivity of dopaminergic system leading to increased dopamine release in the cortical-basal ganglia-thalamo-cortical (CBGTC) circuits, thereby providing the rationale for treatment with dopamine receptor, in particular D2, antagonists. Although antipsychotics have shown considerable efficacy against tics in most patients, there have been cases of paradoxical onset of tics in individuals without history, and relapse or exacerbation of tics in individuals with a history of tic disorders upon initiation of antipsychotics.

Predictors of civil and forensic inpatient psychiatric readmissions at a Public Mental Health Hospital.

Inpatient psychiatric readmissions are increasingly prevalent and associated with worse prognostic outcomes and high economic costs, regardless of the medicolegal ramifications that necessitate them. Unlike most general medical readmissions, psychiatric readmissions are commonly warranted for both medical and legal purposes. However, studies focusing on analyzing the predictors of inpatient psychiatric readmission and their relationship to civil versus forensic readmission are limited.
