Background: The aim of this study was to assess psychiatric disorders and their association with burn-related factors in a population of Turkish children with burns.
Methods: Thirty-one children admitted to the Cerrahpasa Medical Faculty Burn Unit between January 2013 and August 2013 were first assessed by the plastic surgeon, and then those with psychological symptoms were referred to a child psychiatrist, and the records were analyzed retrospectively.
Results: The percentage of burned area to Total Body Surface Area (TBSA) ranged between 2-60% (mean, 17.3%). Nineteen patients (61.3%) had a psychiatric diagnosis, which included acute stress disorder (ASD) (n=15), depression (n=3), posttraumatic stress disorder (n=2, comorbid with depression), and delirium (n=1). The percentage of burned area to TBSA was associated with the presence of psychopathology and ASD. Further, psychopathology was associated with the number of burned major body regions.
Conclusion: Pediatric burn patients are at risk of developing psychopathology. The children with a greater percentage of burned area to TBSA and more burned body regions have the greatest risk of psychopathology. Surgeons have an important role in patient referral for psychiatric interventions, so that psychiatric disorders can be prevented as early as possible.

The Prevalence of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder in Psychotic Disorders: Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.
Schizophr Bull

Orygen, Parkville, Victoria 3052, Australia.
Background: Although attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is known to be common in psychotic disorders, reported prevalence rates vary widely, with limited understanding of how different factors (eg, assessment methods, geographical region) may be associated with this variation. The aim was to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis to determine the prevalence of ADHD in psychotic disorders and factors associated with the variability in reported rates.
Study Design: Searches were conducted in MEDLINE, Embase, PsycINFO, CINAHL, and Scopus in May 2023.

Purinergic signaling plays a major role in aging and neurodegenerative diseases, which are associated with memory decline. Blackcurrant (BC), an anthocyanin-rich berry, is renowned for its antioxidant and neuroprotective activities. However, evidence on the effects of BC on purinergic signaling is lacking.

Autosomal dominant CDK13-related disease is characterized by congenital heart defects, dysmorphic facial features, and intellectual developmental disorder (CHDFIDD). Heterozygous pathogenic variants, particularly missense variants in the kinase domain, have previously been described as disease causing. Using the determination of a methylation pattern and comparison with an established episignature, we reveal the first hypomorphic variant in the kinase domain of CDK13, leading to a never before described autosomal recessive form of CHDFIDD in a boy with characteristic features.

Background: Seizure threshold increases with age and the frequency of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). Therefore, therapeutic seizures can be difficult to induce, even at maximum stimulus charge with available ECT devices. Such cases are known as difficult-to-induce-seizures electroconvulsive therapy cases (DECs).

Anhedonia is believed to be transdiagnostic symptom exist in various disorders including schizophrenia, major depressive disorder, and autism spectrum disorder. However, very few studies attempted to profile subclinical samples with schizophrenia, depressive, and autistic symptoms using measures of anhedonia scales. This study adopted a cluster analytical approach to examine the anhedonia profile in 46 individuals with schizotypal trait (ST), 43 subthreshold depression (SD), 27 autistic trait (AT), and 41 healthy controls.
