The negative symptoms of schizophrenia include diminished emotional expression, avolition, alogia, anhedonia, and asociality, and due to their low responsiveness to available treatments, are a primary driver of functional disability in schizophrenia. This narrative review has the aim of providing a comprehensive overview of the current research developments in the treatment of negative symptoms in schizophrenia, and begins by introducing the concepts of primary, secondary, prominent, predominant, and broadly defined negative symptoms. We then compare and contrast commonly used research assessment scales for negative symptoms and review the evidence for the specific utility of widely available off-label and investigational treatments that have been studied for negative symptoms.

School of Health Management, Harbin Medical University, Harbin, 150081, China.

Purpose: Given the recent update of SF-6Dv2, detailed data on utility scores for cancer patients by cancer type remain scarce in China and other regions, which limits the precision of cost-utility analyses (CUA) in cancer interventions. The aim of the study was to systematically evaluate utility scores of six common cancers in China measured using SF-6Dv2, and identify the potential factors associated with utility scores.

Methods: A hospital-based cross-sectional survey was conducted from August 2022 to December 2023.

Clinic for Psychosomatic Medicine and Psychotherapy, University of Duisburg-Essen, LVR-University Hospital Essen, Essen, Germany; Center for Translational Neuro- and Behavioral Sciences (C-TNBS), University of Duisburg-Essen, Essen, Germany.

In the 11th version of the WHO´s International Classification of Diseases, complex post-traumatic stress disorder (CPTSD) is newly recognized as a variant of PTSD, characterized by additional and more severe symptoms and typically arising from prolonged or multiple traumatic experiences. Despite recent research supporting the differentiation between PTSD and CPTSD, studies also identify a third or even a fourth latent profile in trauma patients. This study employs latent profile analysis to identify the number of latent profiles within a clinical trauma population in Germany (N = 588) and aims to investigate their distinct symptomatology.
