Article Synopsis
  • Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) can greatly impact patients' quality of life due to its association with psychological issues like anxiety and depression, often intensified by stigmatization related to physical appearance.
  • A study involving 135 HS patients from 22 dermatology clinics in Europe found significant levels of perceived stigmatization, which correlated with disease duration, itchiness, and depression symptoms.
  • The research emphasizes the need for comprehensive management of HS, including addressing psychological well-being and access to mental health support for better patient outcomes.

Article Synopsis
  • Metastatic colorectal cancer has a low 5-year survival rate of under 15%, with common metastasis sites being the lungs and liver, while skin metastases are rare and often indicate a worse prognosis.
  • A case study of a 62-year-old woman revealed skin metastases from rectal cancer developed two years after treatment, confirming these through histological examination, although differing mutations were found between the primary tumor and skin lesions.
  • Despite treatment with FOLFOX6 chemotherapy and bevacizumab, the therapy failed, highlighting the need for close monitoring of skin for metastases in rectal cancer patients, as literature suggests median survival after detection is only 8.5 months.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the relationship between different types of delusions in schizophrenia spectrum disorders and corresponding brain changes using a systematic review approach, following PRISMA guidelines.
  • Researchers analyzed 1,752 records and included 95 relevant studies that utilized imaging techniques like fMRI and sMRI to identify structural and functional brain alterations linked to delusions.
  • Key findings indicate that both specific and nonspecific delusions, particularly paranoia, are associated with changes in brain regions including the superior temporal cortex, anterior cingulate/medial prefrontal cortex, and insula.

Coronary heart disease (CHD) remains a leading cause of mortality among cancer patients, primarily due to shared risk factors and the impacts of chemotherapeutic drugs, immune checkpoint inhibitors, and radiotherapy. Determining the optimal treatment strategy remains a challenging issue for patients with concurrent CHD and malignant neoplasms. In high-risk patients, managing CHD frequently takes precedence over addressing the oncologic disease.

  • Dysmorphic concern is when someone worries a lot about imperfections in their looks, and this can be linked to body dysmorphic disorder (BDD).
  • A study looked at how men and women with skin conditions feel about their appearance and found that women generally had more concerns than men.
  • About 10.5% of patients showed signs of having BDD, with stress and feeling judged affecting both men and women, especially those with more serious skin issues.

Background: Itch as the most common symptom in dermatology has been shown to be related to psychological factors such as stress, anxiety and depression. Moreover, associations were found between perceived stigmatization and itch. However, studies investigating the differences between patients with dermatoses with and without itch regarding perceived stress, stigmatization, anxiety and depression are missing.

The purpose of this review is to correlate current data on the molecular mechanisms of action of the drug Nimodipine with its clinical effects and applicability in mental disorders belonging to the spectrum of affective pathology. The article discusses the prospects for using the calcium channel blocker nimodipine as a method of both mono and combination therapy for bipolar disorders with various types of course. Nimodipine is a selective blocker of voltage-dependent calcium channels, a dihydropyridine derivative.

Introduction: Several classifications of psychodermatology disorders have been proposed, with most of them based on two to four main disorder category groups. However, there is, to date, no classification that has resulted from a consensus established by psychodermatology experts. The DSM-5-TR (Diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders (5th ed.

Background: Depressive disorders are characterized by fluctuating symptom severity, and developing an individual prognostic model for relapse is crucial for effective prevention. Chronobiological factors are poorly understood in this context.

Methods: A systematic search was conducted to identify articles related to the prognosis of depression recurrence based on chronobiological factors.

When two intense laser beams cross at a small angle, the interference in the crossing area results in a finite intensity grating. We consider femtosecond laser filamentation in such a grating, in a situation when the process is largely confined to the grating maxima and leads to formation of a structured filament wake channel. In a dense gas, electron impact processes during the laser pulse cause a copious excitation of neutral atoms, resulting in formation of a finite grating of the density of excited atoms.

Perceived stigmatization places a large psychosocial burden on patients with some skin conditions. Little is known about the experience of stigmatization across a wide range of skin diseases. This observational cross-sectional study aimed to quantify perceived stigmatization and identify its predictors among patients with a broad spectrum of skin diseases across 17 European countries.

  • The study aims to clinically qualify illness anxiety disorder (IAD) in patients with Graves' disease (GD) and investigate related personality and hormonal factors.
  • It involved 27 patients (mostly female, average age 48), using structured interviews to diagnose personality disorders and assess health anxiety.
  • Results showed IAD in 29.6% of patients, with significant differences in health anxiety scores and personality characteristics between IAD patients and controls, and a higher recurrence rate of GD in those with IAD.

Article Synopsis
  • The objective of the study is to merge the concepts of hypochondriacal paranoia and somatopsychotic phenomena into a unified clinical framework, considering their classification in modern psychology.
  • The analysis involved 29 patients diagnosed with delusional disorders, primarily focused on the relationship between their physical symptoms and psychological perceptions, using a psychopathological method.
  • The findings propose a new understanding of somatic paranoia, emphasizing that physical symptoms are interconnected with psychological ideations, suggesting that these somatic symptoms reflect delusional thinking rather than existing independently.

In this work, new composite films were prepared by incorporating the disintegrated bacterial cellulose (BCd) nanofibers and cerium oxide nanoparticles into chitosan (CS) matrices. The influence of the amount of nanofillers on the structure and properties of the polymer composites and the specific features of the intermolecular interactions in the materials were determined. An increase in film stiffness was observed as a result of reinforcing the CS matrix with BCd nanofibers: the Young's modulus increased from 4.
