Individuals with epilepsy are at risk of developing preictal, ictal, postictal and interictal psychoses. Antipsychotic drugs (APDs) are the main class of drugs used to treat psychosis and schizophrenia. The efficacy and safety of APDs as a treatment for epileptic psychosis is not well understood.

- Clinical prediction models can help tailor psychiatric care by using electronic health records (EHRs) to estimate individual patient risks.
- The review highlights four effective models that predict outcomes like psychosis and suicide risk, assessing their accuracy and usefulness in clinical settings.
- Integrating additional data sources, such as clinical research and biological information, could further enhance the performance of these models, making them more valuable for real-world decision-making in psychiatry.
As the need for high-speed electronics continues to rise rapidly, printed wiring board (PWB) requirements become ever-more demanding. A typical PWB is fabricated by bonding dielectric films such as polyimide to electrically conductive copper foil such as rolled annealed (RA) copper and is expected to become thinner, flexible, durable, and compatible with high-frequency 5G performance. Polyimide films inherently feature a higher coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) than copper foils; this mismatch causes residual thermal stresses.

We aimed to compare the presence of visual hallucinations in patients with psychosis due to a primary or secondary cause.
Method: We conducted a meta-analysis of case-control studies directly comparing primary and secondary psychosis.
