Article Synopsis
- There is a lack of research on antipsychotic prescribing practices specifically for patients in forensic psychiatric services, despite extensive literature on their use in general psychiatric settings.
- The study involved 153 forensic psychiatric patients with psychotic illnesses, finding that the majority were middle-aged males, predominantly white, and had serious offenses, with 75.9% prescribed atypical antipsychotics.
- Rehospitalization rates were notable, with 52.9% of patients rehospitalized at least once; clozapine showed lower rehospitalization rates compared to other medications, indicating it may be underused and warrants further investigation.
Chiral phases of matter, characterized by a definite handedness, abound in nature, ranging from the crystal structure of quartz to spiraling spin states in helical magnets. In 1T-TiSe_{2} a source of chirality has been proposed that stands apart from these classical examples as it arises from combined electronic charge and quantum orbital fluctuations. This may allow its chirality to be accessed and manipulated without imposing either structural or magnetic handedness.

Article Synopsis
- - Peritoneal malignancies are tumors that arise from the peritoneum, including both primary tumors (like mesothelioma) and secondary tumors that spread from other cancer sites, such as the gastrointestinal tract or gynecological areas.
- - The treatment approach is shifting from traditional palliative care to a multimodal strategy that combines cytoreductive surgery with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy, which has led to improved survival rates.
- - Imaging plays a critical role in diagnosing and managing these malignancies, using methods like CT, MRI, and PET to help in staging, monitoring therapy response, and selecting appropriate patients based on tumor burden and treatment outcomes.
While altermagnetic materials are characterized by a vanishing net magnetic moment, their symmetry in principle allows for the existence of an anomalous Hall effect. Here, we introduce a model with altermagnetism in which the emergence of an anomalous Hall effect is driven by interactions. This model is grounded in a modified Kane-Mele framework with antiferromagnetic spin-spin correlations.

Here, we quantify electronic excitations and spin interactions in Cr ( = Cl, Br, I) using embedded many-body wavefunction calculations and fully generalized spin Hamiltonians. We find that the three trihalides feature comparable -shell excitations, consisting of a high-spin ground state lying 1.
