Psychiatric manifestations of 72 CATEGO Class S+ schizophrenics were studied using a syndrome check list. Comparison of syndromic manifestations with other published works revealed significant cross-cultural differences. It was observed that Indian CATEGO S+ patients had significantly less depression, tension and anxiety. Differences in nuclear syndrome and Schneider's First Rank Symptoms were also visible. Difficulties in rating syndromes of affect and subcultural delusions are commented upon. Usefulness and applicability of the Present State Examination as a tool of assessment in the transcultural context are discussed.

Background: The practical application of infectious disease emergency plans in mental health institutions during the ongoing pandemic has revealed significant shortcomings. These manifest as chaotic management of mental health care, a lack of hospital infection prevention and control (IPC) knowledge among medical staff, and unskilled practical operation. These factors result in suboptimal decision-making and emergency response execution.

Duchenne/Becker muscular dystrophy (DMD/BMD) manifests progressive muscular dystrophy and non-progressive central nervous disorder. The neural disorder is possibly caused by abnormalities in the developmental period; however, basic research to understand the mechanisms remains underdeveloped. The responsible gene, Dmd (dystrophin), generates multiple products derived from several gene promoters.

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and anxiety disorders are early-onset mental disorders characterized by selective attention and strong emotional reactions. Attentional bias has been proposed to play a role in the development, onset, and maintenance of the disorders, but few studies have included youth with mental disorders, and no study has included more than one clinical group, making it unclear whether biased attention is disorder-specific or transdiagnostic in nature. In the present study, 65 youths with OCD (M = 13.

Many studies have now shown that this virus exhibits a milder infection in children compared to adults. Acute COVID-19 infection, multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C), and long COVID have been recently well-established in the pediatric population with a myriad of systemic manifestations.

Background: The polygenic nature of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) requires the identification of converging genetic pathways during early development to elucidate its complexity and varied manifestations.
Methods: We developed a human cerebral organoid model from induced pluripotent stem cells with targeted genome editing to abolish protein expression of the ASD risk gene.
Results: CNTNAP2 cerebral organoids displayed accelerated cell cycle, ventricular zone disorganization, and increased cortical folding.
