Clinical studies have focused on hallucinations, which could be associated with the severity of the disorder and treatment resistance. Auditory illusions have received little attention so far, possibly because they are particularly difficult to assess.

- - The study aimed to identify factors linked to posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTSS) in COVID-19 patients who were discharged from the hospital, using online questionnaires for assessments.
- - Researchers analyzed data from 119 patients at 3 months and 94 patients at 6 months post-discharge, finding that around 31% experienced PTSS, particularly influenced by anxiety, depression, and prior psychiatric issues.
- - Key findings revealed that patients who had dissociative experiences during hospitalization and those living further from the hospital had higher PTSS scores, highlighting the need for early identification and prevention strategies for PTSS in this patient group.
A variety of neuropsychiatric complications has been described in association with COVID-19 infection. Large scale studies presenting a wider picture of these complications and their relative frequency are lacking. The objective of our study was to describe the spectrum of neurological and psychiatric complications in patients with COVID-19 seen in a multidisciplinary hospital centre over 6 months.

- - The objective of the study is to evaluate how psychosocial risk factors contribute to the increased use of emergency hospital services by patients with sickle cell disease.
- - The review will include all original quantitative studies without language restrictions that look at the impact of these psychosocial factors on emergency hospital visits for sickle cell patients.
- - A systematic search of multiple databases will be conducted, with two authors independently selecting studies and extracting data, while assessing study quality and potentially performing meta-analyses to analyze the findings.
Introduction: Patients with psychiatric disorders suffer from a higher rate of somatic disorders than those without psychiatric disorder, often inappropriately managed. Our study aimed to describe patients with psychiatric comorbidity in post-emergency internal medicine units and to compare their length of hospital stay to patients without psychiatric disease.
Methods: This French cross sectional study used the data warehouse of the greater Paris hospitals.
Sickle cell patients in acute pain situation experiment cognitive, behavioral and emotional changes that can accentuate their pain and disrupt communication with caregivers. On the other hand, caregivers have to face pain assessment difficulties and their own psychological reactions to their patient's pain. The gap between the patient's experience and caregiver's evaluation can lead to conflict and non-adherence treatment, and have a direct impact on the sickle cell disease prognosis.
