Aim: Study of relationship between leading complaints of patients with duodenal ulcer (DU) exacerbation and their psychic status, attitude to the disease and quality of life.
Materials And Methods: Psychological questionnaire surgery enrolled 94 males with endoscopically revified uncomplicated recurrence of DU.
Results: Patients complaining of dull epigastric pains only demonstrated minimal psychological changes. Their attitude to the disease is primarily ergopathic, sensitive and anosognosic. Nausea and vomiting complains come along with neurotization, maladaptation (anxiety, neurasthenia, egocentric attitude) and deterioration of quality of life.
Conclusion: Patients with nausea and vomiting complaints need correction of psychic status to achieve psychological compensation in remission of DU.

Background: Psychotic-like experiences (PLEs) are subtle, subclinical perturbations of perceptions and thoughts and are common in the general population. Their characterisation and unidimensionality are still debated.
Methods: This study was conducted by the Electronic-halluCinations-Like Experiences Cross-culTural International Consortium (E-CLECTIC) and aimed at measuring the Community Assessment of Psychic Experiences (CAPE) factorial structure across five European countries (Belgium; Czech Republic, Germany; Greece, and Spain) and testing the adequacy of the unidimensional polytomous Rasch model of the tool via Partial Credit Model (PCM) of the CAPE to detect people with a high risk for developing psychosis.

Objective: Negative body image is an increasingly important factor in chronic pain disorders; particularly because the two conditions mutually influence each other. Our study examines body-image-related attitudes and comorbid psychic symptoms in patients with chronic pain disorders.
Methods And Measures: 188 patients with chronic pain answered the Dresden body image questionnaire (DKB-35), the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and the Beck's Depression Inventory (BDI).

Psychotic experiences (PE) are prevalent in general and clinical populations and can increase the risk for mental disorders in young people. The Community Assessment of Psychic Experiences (CAPE) is a widely used measure to assess PE in different populations and settings. However, the current knowledge on their overall reliability is limited.

Aim: Medical residency training is associated with a range of sociodemographic, lifestyle and mental health factors that may confer higher risk for psychotic-like experiences (PLEs) in residents, yet little research has examined this question. Thus, we aimed to document the prevalence and associated factors of PLEs among resident physicians.
Methods: Physicians enrolled in residency programmes in the Province of Québec, Canada (four universities) were recruited in Fall 2022 via their programme coordinators and social media.

Background: Adolescent self-reported psychotic experiences are associated with mental illness and could help guide prevention strategies. The Community Assessment of Psychic Experiences (CAPE) was developed over 20 years ago. In a rapidly changing society, where new generations of adolescents are growing up in an increasingly digital world, it is crucial to ensure high reliability and validity of the questionnaire.
