Earlier (Bolinskey et al., 2015), we reported that psychometrically identified schizotypes displayed greater symptom levels and higher incidences of schizophrenia spectrum (schizotypal, schizoid, paranoid, and avoidant) personality disorders (PDs). In this study, 49 schizotypes and 39 matched controls participated in follow-up assessments after two years.

This inconsistency has involved whether the Revised Social Anhedonia Scale (SocAnh) reflects only the negative or both the negative and positive dimensions of schizotypy, along with the degree of correlation between these two dimensions. In the present study, confirmatory factor analysis was used to compare models created by Chan et al.

- Research indicates certain personality disorders (PDs) occur more frequently in individuals in the early stages of schizophrenia, particularly schizotypal, paranoid, and schizoid PDs, with avoidant PD also being significant.
- A study compared 85 individuals identified as schizotypes (SZT) with 78 matched comparison (MC) participants using the Personality Disorder Interview for DSM-IV (PDI-IV) to assess PD symptoms and diagnoses.
- Results showed that the SZT group had more symptoms and higher instances of avoidant, schizoid, paranoid, and schizotypal PDs compared to the MC group.
Article Synopsis
- There are two main scaffold products for meniscal reconstruction available in Europe: the collagen meniscal implant (CMI) and the polymer scaffold (PS).
- CMI has shown better long-term clinical outcomes in patients with chronic meniscus issues, with fewer reoperations compared to traditional methods.
- In contrast, while PS has demonstrated short-term benefits, there's a lack of long-term data, and meniscal scaffolds generally haven't improved outcomes in acute cases.
This study investigates the extent to which the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 Restructured Form (MMPI-2-RF) profiles of 52 individuals making up a psychometrically identified schizotypes (SZT) sample could be successfully discriminated from the protocols of 52 individuals in a matched comparison (MC) sample. Replication analyses were performed with an additional 53 pairs of SZT and MC participants. Results showed significant differences in mean T-score values between these 2 groups across a variety of MMPI-2-RF scales.

This article presents a comprehensive review of the epidemiology, relevant anatomy, proposed pathogenesis, diagnostic approach, and outcomes of nonoperative and operative management of SLAP lesions in the overhead athlete.
