Objective: Neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), monocyte-lymphocyte ratio (MLR), mean platelet volume (MPV), and systemic immune inflammation index (SII) are recently used as indicators of inflammation. NLR, PLR, MLR, and MPV have been evaluated in many studies in patients with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. However, there are no studies investigating SII. This study aims to evaluate NLR, PLR, MLR, MPV and SII values and complete blood count elements in patients hospitalized with diagnoses of the schizophrenia with psychotic episode and bipolar disorder with manic episode by comparing them with the control group.
Method: A total of 149 patients who were hospitalized with the diagnoses of the schizophrenia with psychotic episode and bipolar disorder with manic episode and who met the inclusion criteria were included in our study where the control group was composed of 66 healthy individuals. White blood cell (WBC), neutrophil, lymphocyte, platelet, and monocyte counts were obtained retrospectively from complete blood counts at the time of admission, based on which NLR, PLR, MLR, and SII were calculated.
Results: In this study, higher NLR, PLR, and SII values and lower MPV and lymphocyte counts were observed in schizophrenia patients compared to the control group. NLR, PLR, and SII values and neutrophil counts were higher in patients with bipolar disorder compared to the control group. Lower MPV values were found in patients with schizophrenia compared to patients with bipolar disorder.
Conclusion: Simple inflammatory and SII values in our study indicate the presence of low-grade systemic inflammation in schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.

Neurological Soft Signs in Type I Bipolar Disorder and Bipolar Spectrum Patients and Their Unaffected First-Degree Relatives: A Cross-Sectional Study.
Health Sci Rep
January 2025
School of Medicine, Behavioral Science Research Center of Imam Hossein Hospital Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences Tehran Iran.
Background And Aims: This study aimed to compare neurological soft signs (NSSs) in type 1 bipolar disorder (BD), bipolar spectrum (BS) patients, and their unaffected first-degree relatives.
Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study involved participants referred to the Psychiatric Department of Imam Hossein Hospital. Five groups ( = 25): patients with type 1 BD, patients with BS, unaffected first-degree relatives of the two groups, and a control group were evaluated using the Neurological Evaluation Scale (NES).
Identifying genetic differences between bipolar disorder and major depression through multiple genome-wide association analyses.

Background: Accurate diagnosis of bipolar disorder (BPD) is difficult in clinical practice, with an average delay between symptom onset and diagnosis of about 7 years. A depressive episode often precedes the first manic episode, making it difficult to distinguish BPD from unipolar major depressive disorder (MDD).
Aims: We use genome-wide association analyses (GWAS) to identify differential genetic factors and to develop predictors based on polygenic risk scores (PRS) that may aid early differential diagnosis.
Investigating resting-state functional connectivity changes within procedural memory network across neuropsychiatric disorders using fMRI.

Background: Cognitive networks impairments are common in neuropsychiatric disorders like Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), bipolar disorder (BD), and schizophrenia (SZ). While previous research has focused on specific brain regions, the role of the procedural memory as a type of long-term memory to examine cognitive networks impairments in these disorders remains unclear. This study investigates alterations in resting-state functional connectivity (rs-FC) within the procedural memory network to explore brain function associated with cognitive networks in patients with these disorders.

Introduction: Impairments in social cognition in bipolar disorder (BD) have been extensively described in the last decade but few treatment strategies have been studied to address this issue. This study presents findings from a randomized controlled trial (RCT) investigating the efficacy of metacognitive training for bipolar disorder (MCT-BD) compared to Treatment as Usual (TAU) among individuals with BD in remission. The aim was to determine whether MCT-BD could improve social cognition and overall functioning in this population.

Background: Clozapine is effective for treatment-resistant schizophrenia and bipolar disorder but is often discontinued due to adverse effects. This study compared early clozapine discontinuation rates and reasons in patients with mood and psychotic disorders.
Methods: Data from all individuals with mood or psychotic disorders who initiated clozapine for the first time at the inpatient psychiatric unit of Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota, between 2014 and 2022 were retrospectively analyzed.
