Controversy surrounds the classification of obsessive-compulsive spectrum disorder (OCSD) symptoms. In this study, we tested whether a broad OCSD symptoms model consisting of obsessive-compulsive, body dysmorphic, health anxiety, trichotillomania, pathological skin picking, impulsivity, and anxiety symptoms displayed sufficient data fit. Alternatively, we tested whether a reduced OCSD symptoms model consisting of obsessive-compulsive, body dysmorphic, health anxiety, trichotillomania, and pathological skin picking symptoms demonstrated superior fit. The reduced OCSD symptoms model demonstrated good data fit. However, the broader OCSD symptoms model only displayed marginal data fit. In context with other findings, results of this study support an OCSD symptoms dimension that includes obsessive-compulsive, body dysmorphic, health anxiety, trichotillomania, and pathological skin picking symptoms. Implications of these findings are discussed as they relate to proposed changes in the forthcoming edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual.

Somatic symptom disorder (SSD) is characterized by persistent physical symptoms that cause significant distress and functional impairment. Despite the widespread use of serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SRIs) in treating SSD, some patients experience insufficient response, necessitating alternative therapeutic approaches. We report two cases of SSD that demonstrated significant improvement with vortioxetine, a novel antidepressant with multimodal serotonergic receptor activity.

Background: There are several established structured diagnostic interviews that cover common mental disorders seen in general psychiatry clinics. The administration of more focused diagnostic interviews may be useful in specialty clinics, such as OCD clinics. A semi-structured clinician-administered interview for obsessive-compulsive spectrum disorders (SCID-OCSD) was developed and adapted for DSM-5/ICD-11 obsessive-compulsive and related disorders as well as other putative obsessive-compulsive spectrum conditions.

Background: The number of elderly patients diagnosed with breast cancer is increasing worldwide. However, treatment decisions for these patients are highly variable. Although researchers have identified the effects of surgery, radiotherapy, endocrine therapy, and chemotherapy in elderly patients with breast cancer, clinicians still struggle to make appropriate decisions for these patients.

Female rats received citrate buffer (Control-C) or Streptozotocin (a beta cell-cytotoxic drug to induce diabetes-D) on postnatal day 5. In adulthood, these rats were mated to obtain female offspring, who were fed a standard diet (SD) or HFD from weaning to adulthood (n = 10 rats/group).

Purpose: Inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) is a rare, aggressive and special subtype of primary breast cancer. We aimed to establish competing-risks nomograms to predict the IBC-specific death (BCSD) and other-cause-specific death (OCSD) of IBC patients.
Methods: We extracted data on primary IBC patients from the SEER (Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results) database by applying specific inclusion and exclusion criteria.
