Introduction: The atypical antipsychotic (APs) drugs have become the most widely used agents to treat a variety of psychoses because of their superiority with regard to safety and tolerability profile compared to conventional/'typical' APs.
Areas Covered: We aimed at providing a synthesis of most current evidence about the safety and tolerability profile of the most clinically used atypical APs so far marketed. Qualitative synthesis followed an electronic search made inquiring of the following databases: MEDLINE, Embase, PsycINFO and the Cochrane Library from inception until January 2016, combining free terms and MESH headings for the topics of psychiatric disorders and all atypical APs as following: ((safety OR adverse events OR side effects) AND (aripiprazole OR asenapine OR quetiapine OR olanzapine OR risperidone OR paliperidone OR ziprasidone OR lurasidone OR clozapine OR amisulpride OR iloperidone)).
Expert Opinion: A critical issue in the treatment with atypical APs is represented by their metabolic side effect profile (e.g. weight gain, lipid and glycaemic imbalance, risk of diabetes mellitus and diabetic ketoacidosis) which may limit their use in particular clinical samples. Electrolyte imbalance, ECG abnormalities and cardiovascular adverse effects may recommend a careful baseline and periodic assessments.

Background: Existing literature supports the association between atypical phospholipid antibodies - anti-phosphatidylserine/prothrombin antibodies (aPS/PT) and adverse pregnancy outcomes. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between aPS/PT and premature rupture of membranes (PROM).
Methods: A retrospective cohort study analysis was conducted on 408 pregnant women who had experienced at least one unexplained miscarriage.

It is difficult to distinguish Parkinson's disease (PD) in the early stage from those of various disorders including atypical Parkinson's syndrome (APS), vascular parkinsonism (VP), and even essential tremor (ET), because of the overlap of symptoms. Other, more challenging problems will arise when Parkinson's disease develops into Parkinson's disease dementia (PDD) in the middle and late stages. At this time, the differential diagnosis of PDD and DLB becomes thorny.

Background: Loss of dorsolateral nigral hyperintensity (DNH) in iron-sensitive sequences of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), also described as "swallow tail sign" (STS) loss, has shown promising diagnostic value in Parkinson's Disease (PD) and Atypical Parkinsonian Syndromes (APS).
Objective: To conduct a bibliometric analysis on substantia nigra MRI and a systematic review on the clinical utility of STS visual assessment on Susceptibility-Weighted Imaging in various clinical entities.
Methods: VOSviewer's keyword co-occurrence network was employed using Web of Science (WOS).
GOLPH3 and GOLPH3L maintain Golgi localization of LYSET and a functional mannose 6-phosphate transport pathway.

Institute of Biochemistry, Kiel University, Kiel, Germany.
Article Synopsis
- Glycosylation is crucial for modifying lipids and sorting proteins, with its regulation involving a unique distribution of enzymes in the Golgi and the action of SPPL3.
- In cells lacking the retention factor LYSET/TMEM251, there is increased secretion of a Golgi protein, B4GALT5, due to disrupted M6P tagging, which typically marks proteins for lysosomal degradation.
- The study reveals that GOLPH3 and GOLPH3L adaptors play a critical role in stabilizing the LYSET-GNPT complex, maintaining proper Golgi function, and ensuring efficient lysosomal enzyme processing.

Article Synopsis
- Differences in iron accumulation patterns in atypical parkinsonian syndromes can be identified using susceptibility-weighted images, and deep learning methods are effective for this task.
- Traditional deep learning models need large labeled datasets, which are expensive and can compromise patient privacy.
- A new few-shot learning framework is proposed to distinguish between multiple system atrophy parkinsonian (MSA-P) and progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) using fewer data samples, achieving better performance through enhanced feature identification and a novel hyperbolic space technique.
