Approaches for difficult-to-induce-seizures electroconvulsive therapy cases (DEC): a Japanese expert consensus.

Ann Gen Psychiatry

January 2025

Department of Neuropsychiatry, Faculty of Life Sciences, Kumamoto University, 1-1-1 Honjo, Chuo-Ku, Kumamoto, 860-8556, Japan.

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).

Driving brain state transitions via Adaptive Local Energy Control Model.

Neuroimage

January 2025

College of Computer Science and Technology (College of Data Science), Taiyuan University of Technology, Taiyuan, 030024, China. Electronic address:

The brain, as a complex system, achieves state transitions through interactions among its regions and also performs various functions. An in-depth exploration of brain state transitions is crucial for revealing functional changes in both health and pathological states and realizing precise brain function intervention. Network control theory offers a novel framework for investigating the dynamic characteristics of brain state transitions.

Background/objective: Raloxifene, a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM), may improve symptoms and cognition in schizophrenia spectrum disorders (SSD). Studies have shown inconsistent efficacy, especially in men with SSD. We assessed whether single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) on genes involved in the pharmacodynamics (ESR1 and COMT) and pharmacokinetics (UGT1A8) of raloxifene can explain the heterogeneous treatment response to raloxifene augmentation in patients with SSD.

The role of ferroptosis and oxidative stress in cognitive deficits among chronic schizophrenia patients: a multicenter investigation.

Schizophrenia (Heidelb)

January 2025

Xinjiang Clinical Medical Research Center of Mental Health, State Key Laboratory of Pathogenesis, Prevention, and Treatment of High Incidence Diseases in Central Asia, The Psychological Medicine Center, The First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University, Urumqi, China.

Oxidative stress (OS) is crucial in schizophrenia (SCZ) pathology. Ferroptosis, a recently discovered cell death pathway linked to OS, might contribute to the development of SCZ. This study investigated the association between ferroptosis markers and cognitive impairments in chronic SCZ patients.
