The present study examines the impact of induced social stress on facial trustworthiness judgments in individuals with schizophrenia (SCZ) and the associations between symptoms and trustworthiness ratings. Thirty-three individuals with SCZ and forty healthy controls (HC) were asked to rate the trustworthiness of 24 digitally morphed faces in two counterbalanced conditions. Mild social stress was induced by listening to loud noises from a busy street.

- Individuals with schizophrenia displayed similar trustworthiness ratings and pupillary reactions to healthy controls when assessing neutral faces, suggesting no social cognitive biases in this stable group.
- Among patients, differences in pupil size were linked to more severe positive symptoms and self-reported paranoia.
- Future research should utilize longer stimuli for measuring pupil reactivity and consider the varying impacts of antipsychotic medication on these findings.
Background: The current ACC/AHA guidelines on hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) caution that alcohol septal ablation (ASA) might be less effective in patients with left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (LVOTO) ≥ 100 mm Hg.
Methods: We used a multinational registry to evaluate the outcome of ASA patients according to baseline LVOTO.
Results: A total of 1346 ASA patients were enrolled and followed for 5.
Introduction: There has been growing interest in the role of attachment mechanisms in the onset and maintenance of paranoia. The latest systematic reviews of mixed samples of healthy individuals and psychiatric patients have revealed that increased trait attachment anxiety and avoidance are associated with experiencing paranoia, with trait attachment anxiety showing a stronger association. Few studies have examined attachment and paranoia in naturalistic conditions via the Experience Sampling Method.
