The Actigraphy-Based Identification of Premorbid Latent Liability of Schizophrenia and Bipolar Disorder.

(1) Background and Goal: Several studies have investigated the association of sleep, diurnal patterns, and circadian rhythms with the presence and with the risk states of mental illnesses such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. The goal of our study was to examine actigraphic measures to identify features that can be extracted from them so that a machine learning model can detect premorbid latent liabilities for schizotypy and bipolarity. (2) Methods: Our team developed a small wrist-worn measurement device that collects and identifies actigraphic data based on an accelerometer.

[Investigation of the burnout syndrome among the employees of the Department of Emergency Medicine at the University of Szeged].

Introduction: Burnout has been described as a growing problem amongst healthcare workers. Emergency department staffs experience the burden of stress day by day, yet only a few studies have examined their burnout.

Aim: In this study we wanted to investigate the burnout and its relations to other variables amongst the employees of the Department of Emergency Medicine in Szeged.

Explicit instructions and consolidation promote rewiring of automatic behaviors in the human mind.

One major challenge in human behavior and brain sciences is to understand how we can rewire already existing perceptual, motor, cognitive, and social skills or habits. Here we aimed to characterize one aspect of rewiring, namely, how we can update our knowledge of sequential/statistical regularities when they change. The dynamics of rewiring was explored from learning to consolidation using a unique experimental design which is suitable to capture the effect of implicit and explicit processing and the proactive and retroactive interference.

[The risk factors of mood changing during the perinatal period].

Introduction: The screening of perinatal depression was introduced in Szeged in April 2011.

Aim: Our aim was to assess the extent of perinatal mood changing and to explore the risk factors of it.

Method: Perinatal nurses gave the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale to the 3849 participants four times.
