Article Synopsis
- Shared psychotic disorder with Capgras syndrome is rare, with limited research; a case involving two sisters illustrates its complexities.
- The younger sister, who has schizophrenia, transfers her Capgras delusion to the older sister after their father's death, leading to a violent crime and their involuntary psychiatric admission.
- After initial improvement from treatment, they stop medications, disappear, and years later re-emerge after another violent incident, highlighting the need for effective treatment and continuous support to prevent recurrence and violence.

Violence, child abuse and neglect, which can lead to physical, psychological and social impairment and cause serious long-term consequences, are widespread throughout the world. The aim of our study is to examine the characteristics of the family and the emotional-behavioral difficulties of adolescents who were abused in childhood, compared with those who did not experience abuse. Sixty participants of both genders aged 12 to 18 years were divided into two groups (abused adolescents and the control group).

The aim of our study was to assess the association between polymorphisms in genes encoding enzymes involved in redox homeostasis, mitochondrial superoxide dismutase (SOD2), glutathione peroxidase (GPX1) and glutathione transferases (GSTs) with susceptibility to POAG. Single nucleotide polymorphisms in GST omega (GSTO1rs4925, GSTO2 rs156697), pi 1 (GSTP1 rs1695), as well as GPX1 (rs1050450) and SOD2 (rs4880) were determined by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) in 102 POAG patients and 302 respective controls.

The purpose was to advance research and clinical methodology for assessing psychopathology by testing the international generalizability of an 8-syndrome model derived from collateral ratings of adult behavioral, emotional, social, and thought problems. Collateral informants rated 8,582 18-59-year-old residents of 18 societies on the Adult Behavior Checklist (ABCL). Confirmatory factor analyses tested the fit of the 8-syndrome model to ratings from each society.
