Bipolar Disorder (BD) in children and adolescents is a known and well established disorder. Nonetheless, there are differing views about its main characteristics. Reliable information on the prevalence and incidence of the disorder is lacking, but it is known that there are recurrent episodes and psychiatric and psychosocial comorbidity. It is also known that there is a genetic predisposition for pediatric BD. Imaging research found pathology in some areas, but these findings are not BD specific. Effective treatment includes a combination of medications and different psychotherapies, including educational approaches. The recently described severe mood dysregulation syndrome (SMD) may also develop into BD.

Background: The traditional classification for lateral malleolus fracture has its limitations. In this study, we introduced a three-dimensional (3D) fracture mapping technique using computed tomography (CT) data to assess fracture line distributions and their impact on patient outcomes, offering a refined classification approach.

Methods: Retrospectively, we analysed 97 patients who underwent lateral malleolus fracture surgeries (2014-2019), using CT Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine data to create 3D models and fracture maps.

Background: Anorexia nervosa (AN) is a polygenic, severe metabopsychiatric disorder with poorly understood aetiology. Eight significant loci have been identified by genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)-based heritability was estimated to be ~ 11-17, yet causal variants remain elusive. It is therefore important to define the full spectrum of genetic variants in the wider regions surrounding these significantly associated loci.

Background: Low-grade systemic inflammation has been reported in many psychiatric diseases and is described as a non-severe state of the inflammatory response. Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a chronic psychiatric disorder characterized by symptoms of avoidance, re-experiencing and hyperarousal that develop secondary to a serious traumatic event. The trauma itself creates psychological and biological changes in the individual, apart from PTSD.

The swift rise of hazardous dye effluent from diverse sectors continues to be a severe public health problem and a top priority for environmental preservation, presenting a significant obstacle to the current conventional water treatment systems. This study aims to develop an efficient and reusable approach for removing cresyl fast violet dye using mullite nanoparticles. Some factors such as pH, nano-mullite dosage, agitation speed, time, and others that affect the removal process were studied.

Background: Children diagnosed with Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) have greater difficulty in regulating their own media usage and are inclined to spend more time engaging in video games compared to neurotypical children. This study aimed to investigate the effects of ADHD severity, digital parenting awareness, and accompanying psychiatric symptoms on children's problematic media (PMU) use in children with ADHD.

Methods: The study included 95 ADHD patients aged between 6 and 11 years and 90 age-and gender-matched healthy controls.
