Efficacy, safety, and tolerability of ulotaront (SEP-363856, a trace amine-associated receptor 1 agonist) for the treatment of schizophrenia and other mental disorders: a systematic review of preclinical and clinical trials.

Introduction: Schizophrenia is a mental illness that can disrupt emotions, perceptions, and cognition and reduce quality of life. The classical approach to treat schizophrenia is to use typical and atypical antipsychotics; however, limitations include low efficacy in mitigating negative symptoms and cognitive dysfunctions and a range of adverse effects. Evidence has accumulated on trace amine-associated receptor 1 (TAAR1) as a novel therapeutic target for treating schizophrenia.

Association of current and remitted bipolar disorders with health-related quality of life: Findings from a nationally representative sample in the US.

Background: The associations of current and remitted bipolar disorder (BD) with health-related quality of life (HRQOL) have been under-studied, and we aim to address these gaps.

Methods: The 2012-2013 National Epidemiological Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions III (NESARC III) surveyed a nationally representative sample of non-institutionalized adults in the US. Using DSM-5 criteria, three groups were operationalized as: 1) adults who met criteria for BD in the past year (i.

Evaluating cognitive function in unaffected relatives of individuals with bipolar disorders: A meta-analysis.

Background: Available studies have evaluated cognition in the unaffected relatives of bipolar disorder patients; however, to our knowledge, there has been no quantitative analysis evaluating the foregoing association. Herein, this meta-analysis aims to provide a quantitative synthesis of the extant literature reporting on the association between performance in cognitive domains (i.e.

Hallucinogen persisting perceptual disorder: a scoping review covering frequency, risk factors, prevention, and treatment.

Introduction: Hallucinogen persisting perception disorder (HPPD) affects a subset of persons who use hallucinogens and is defined as the repeated experience of hallucinations and other perceptual disturbances as a result of prior intoxications. As select hallucinogens are under development for the treatment of selectmental disorders, there is a need to better characterize this disorder.

Areas Covered: A scoping review of the literature on HPPD was completed from inception to July 2021.

Immune response to vaccination in adults with mental disorders: A systematic review.

Background: Mental disorders are associated with immune dysregulation as measured by serum levels of biological markers of immunity. Adults with mental disorders have also been reported to have attenuated post vaccine immune response. The COVID-19 pandemic has invited the need to determine whether individuals with mental disorders exhibit differential immune response following the administration of vaccines for other infections.

Olanzapine and samidorphan combination treatment: A systematic review.

Introduction: The overarching aim of this review is to synthesize the efficacy, tolerability, and weight-mitigation effects of the olanzapine/samidorphan (OLZ/SAM) combination treatment in adults with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder-I.

Methods: A systematic search of PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and The Cochrane Library was conducted on August 15th, 2021. Studies were included if they investigated the use of OLZ/SAM treatment in patients with schizophrenia or bipolar disorder-I, and reported the clinical outcomes: efficacy, change in weight or waist circumference, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, or change in metabolic parameters.

Deficits of social cognition in bipolar disorder: Systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: The association between impaired social cognition and bipolar disorder (BD) is well established. However, to our knowledge, there has not been a recent systematic review that characterizes disparate dimensions of social cognition in BD. Herein, this systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to synthesize the literature on core aspects of social cognition (i.
