Approximately 20%-40% of individuals with Tourette syndrome (TS) have rage attacks (RAs), which are recurrent, explosive behavioral outbursts that can cause significant functional impairment. Despite the impact of RA in TS, there has been limited research on treatment, and most studies have focused on pharmacologic interventions. Nonpharmacologic interventions have the potential to improve symptoms with fewer side effects.

  • Tourette syndrome (TS) is characterized by multiple motor tics and phonic tics lasting over a year, with some youth experiencing coprophenomena (obscene tics) and more psychiatric issues compared to those without it.
  • This study assessed the relationship between tic severity, co-occurring conditions, and the impact on individual and family functioning in youth with TS, focusing on those with and without coprophenomena.
  • Results indicated that youth with TS and coprophenomena had significantly higher tic severity and lower scores in global function, family functioning, and parent quality of life compared to those without coprophenomena.

PeCa is a rare entity with rising incidence rates due to increased infections with human papillomaviruses (HPV). The distinct subtypes of PeCa with an individual pathogenesis demand biomarkers for a precise patient risk assessment regarding disease progression and therapeutic susceptibility. We recently identified promising candidates associated with an HPV-instructed tumor microenvironment (TME) using HPV-positive PeCa cell lines and tissue microarrays (TMA).
