Eighteen male patients with a DSM-III-R diagnosis of schizophreniform disorder were rated on the Scale for the Assessment of Negative Symptoms and their visual behavior during interview was recorded through an ethological technique. Affective flattening, alogia and the global severity of the negative-symptom syndrome were found to be more prominent among poor-prognosis patients. In addition, compared with patients with good prognostic features, poor-prognosis patients showed a pattern of visual behavior (less eye contact and more eye closures) suggesting poor rapport with the interviewer. The results demonstrate that cross-sectional phenomenology of patients with DSM-III-R schizophreniform disorder shows differences in important clinical domains, such as negative symptoms and capacity to establish and maintain social interaction.

Urinary DNA Methylation Test for Bladder Cancer Diagnosis.
JAMA Oncol
January 2025
Department of Urology, Seoul National University Hospital, Seoul, Republic of Korea.
Importance: An accurate noninvasive biomarker test is needed for the early diagnosis of bladder cancer.
Objective: To evaluate the performance of a urinary DNA methylation test (PENK methylation) and compare its diagnostic accuracy with that of the nuclear matrix protein 22 (NMP22) test or urine cytology test.
Design, Setting, And Participants: In this prospective multicenter study at 10 sites in the Republic of Korea, individuals 40 years and older with hematuria undergoing cystoscopy within 3 months between March 11, 2022, and May 30, 2024, participated.
Origin and In-Office Treatment of Retrograde Cricopharyngeus Dysfunction.
JAMA Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg
January 2025
Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, Foch Hospital, School of Medicine, Paris Saclay University, Paris, France.
Importance: Retrograde cricopharyngeus dysfunction (R-CPD) is an emerging disorder associated with disabling symptoms. The origin of R-CPD remains unknown.
Objective: To investigate the development of symptoms, diagnosis approach, and therapeutic outcomes of R-CPD in patients treated with in-office botulinum toxin injection (BTI) into the cricopharyngeus.
Objective: Posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTSS) and moral injury (MI) are possible negative outcomes of combat military service. While PTSS is known to be associated with impaired paternal parenting, no study has examined the association between MI and parenting. This study examined associations between military-related PTSS, MI, and multiple measures of parenting among veteran fathers.

Neurol Sci
January 2025
Department of Neurology, PGIMER, Chandigarh, India.
Background: Non-motor symptoms, including depression, anxiety, sleep disturbances, pain and cognitive dysfunction, are a much more important predictor of quality of life than the severity of dystonia.
Objectives: To assess the effect of Botulinum toxin on non-motor symptoms and quality of life in patients with adult-onset idiopathic focal dystonia.
Methods: Patients aged > 18 years diagnosed with idiopathic focal dystonia were recruited in this longitudinal cohort study.
Growth trajectory of Yiling sheep and its related genetic parameters.
Trop Anim Health Prod
January 2025
Laboratory of Small Ruminant Genetics, Breeding and Reproduction, Huazhong Agricultural University, Wuhan, 430070, People's Republic of China.
Growth traits are one of the focuses of sheep breeding, and growth curve is an effective method to describe growth traits. The body weight of Yiling sheep at 0, 120, 180, 360 and 540 days of age were fitted with five common nonlinear growth models: Logistic, Gompertz, Von Bertalanffy, Brody and Negative exponential, and the growth models were evaluated by goodness of fit standard. The results showed that the Von Bertalanffy model was suitable for characterizing the growth of Yiling sheep.
