Comparative analysis of anticholinergic burden scales to explain iatrogenic cognitive impairment and self-reported side effects in the euthymic phase of bipolar disorders: Results from the FACE-BD cohort.

Bipolar disorders (BD) are characterized by cognitive impairment during the euthymic phase, to which treatments can contribute. The anticholinergic properties of medications, i.e.

Case report: Meningitis: a cause of reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome?

Introduction: Reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome (RCVS) is characterized by thunderclap headache and reversible cerebral arteries vasoconstriction. The pathophysiology remains unclear, but many triggers were reported.

Case Reports: We reported two cases of patients with meningitis who developed RCVS confirmed by brain imaging.

[Supporting children and adolescents with trans-identity issues].

In the light of sociological, anthropological and philosophical developments on gender issues, there is no longer any legitimate theory in Western society that can account for the process of identity development, the links between the biological realities and limits of the sexed body and the experience of gender. It's necessary to listen to everything that's said, not only by the young person but also by his or her parents, and even by the wider family, without any preconceived notions, judgments or normative criteria, but also to avoid the temptation to say "why" in favor of offering help. For some children and teenagers, it's possible to offer a transitional pathway.

Efficacy of interactive manual dexterity training after stroke: a pilot single-blinded randomized controlled trial.

Objective: To compare the efficacy of Dextrain Manipulandum™ training of dexterity components such as force control and independent finger movements, to dose-matched conventional therapy (CT) post-stroke.

Methods: A prospective, single-blind, pilot randomized clinical trial was conducted. Chronic-phase post-stroke patients with mild-to-moderate dexterity impairment (Box and Block Test (BBT) > 1) received 12 sessions of Dextrain or CT.

PupillOmetry for preDIction of DeliriUM in ICU (PODIUM): protocol for a prospective multicentre cohort study.

Introduction: Delirium is a severe complication that is associated with short-term adverse events, prolonged hospital stay and neurological sequelae in survivors. Automated pupillometry is an easy-to-use device that allows for accurate objective assessment of the pupillary light responses in comatose patients in the intensive care unit (ICU). Whether automated pupillometry might predict delirium in critically ill patients is not known.

Association of polygenic score and the involvement of cholinergic and glutamatergic pathways with lithium treatment response in patients with bipolar disorder.

Lithium is regarded as the first-line treatment for bipolar disorder (BD), a severe and disabling mental health disorder that affects about 1% of the population worldwide. Nevertheless, lithium is not consistently effective, with only 30% of patients showing a favorable response to treatment. To provide personalized treatment options for bipolar patients, it is essential to identify prediction biomarkers such as polygenic scores.

Pediatric Posterior Fossa ATRT: A Case Report, New Treatment Strategies and Perspectives.

Posterior fossa atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor (ATRT) is a rare childhood tumor usually associated with a dismal prognosis. Although upfront surgical gross total resection (GTR) has classically been the first line of treatment, new multimodal treatments, including two-stage surgery, are showing promising results in terms of overall survival (OS) and complication rate. We present a case of a 9-month-old child treated with two-staged surgery and chemotherapy.

Childhood maltreatment contributes to the medical morbidity of individuals with bipolar disorders.

Background: Individuals with bipolar disorders (BD) are at risk of premature death, mainly due to medical comorbidities. Childhood maltreatment might contribute to this medical morbidity, which remains underexplored in the literature.

Methods: We assessed 2891 outpatients with BD (according to DSM-IV criteria).

Crossed clinical features between eating disorders and types of bipolar disorder: Results from the FondaMental Advanced Centers of Expertise - Bipolar Disorder cohort.

Background: Eating disorders (EDs) are liable to alter the disease course of bipolar disorder (BD). We explored the crossed clinical features between EDs and BD, particularly as a function of BD type (BD1 vs. BD2).

[The revolution in the relationship between caregiver and patient].

The caregiver-patient relationship has progressively evolved to focus on the development of the patient's autonomy. The mobilization of the patient's resources is fundamental to their participation in the co-construction of the care protocol. Identifying these resources is an essential component of caregiving know-how.

Principles of patients selection and safety of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation - position statement of the Section of Biological Psychiatry of the Polish Psychiatric Association.

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a method of noninvasive brain stimulation developed since the 1980s. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is one of the methods of noninvasive brain stimulation, which is increasingly used to treat psychiatric disorders. Recent years witnessed a dynamic growth in the number of sites offering therapy with rTMS and of the interest of patients in this method in Poland.

[Towards a pragmatic cohabitation of theoretical and clinical models: The example of "Good Psychiatric Management" in the treatment of borderline personality disorder].

Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is a common disorder in general and clinical populations and is related to potentially severe medical and socio-professional consequences. Treatment of BPD is based on evidence-based psychotherapies (such as Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Mentalization-Based Therapy, Schema-Focused Therapy or Transference Focused Psychotherapy), which have been shown effective but are poorly available in France. Pharmacological treatments, which are more easily available, are not effective in treating symptoms of the disorder but can be useful in management of comorbidities.

Genomics of perivascular space burden unravels early mechanisms of cerebral small vessel disease.

Perivascular space (PVS) burden is an emerging, poorly understood, magnetic resonance imaging marker of cerebral small vessel disease, a leading cause of stroke and dementia. Genome-wide association studies in up to 40,095 participants (18 population-based cohorts, 66.3 ± 8.

Cognitive performance at first episode of psychosis and the relationship with future treatment resistance: Evidence from an international prospective cohort study.

Background: Antipsychotic treatment resistance affects up to a third of individuals with schizophrenia, with recent research finding systematic biological differences between antipsychotic resistant and responsive patients. Our aim was to determine whether cognitive impairment at first episode significantly differs between future antipsychotic responders and resistant cases.

Methods: Analysis of data from seven international cohorts of first-episode psychosis (FEP) with cognitive data at baseline (N = 683) and follow-up data on antipsychotic treatment response: 605 treatment responsive and 78 treatment resistant cases.

Schizophrenia risk conferred by rare protein-truncating variants is conserved across diverse human populations.

Schizophrenia (SCZ) is a chronic mental illness and among the most debilitating conditions encountered in medical practice. A recent landmark SCZ study of the protein-coding regions of the genome identified a causal role for ten genes and a concentration of rare variant signals in evolutionarily constrained genes. This recent study-and most other large-scale human genetics studies-was mainly composed of individuals of European (EUR) ancestry, and the generalizability of the findings in non-EUR populations remains unclear.

[The caregiving posture, a progressive construction].

The professional identity and know-how of the caregiver are acquired throughout his or her career and professional development. The support of patients unfolds by moving from an action to a singular, adapted, personalized and relational care. This experience is particularly present in psychiatric care, when the poïesis relies on acquired and obligatory praxis and must sometimes find the kairos.

[The adventure of speech].

The step of going to a therapist is the fruit of a contingency of life, a painful reality, sometimes hardly noticeable and which becomes repetitive or unbearable. The therapist takes support on this adventure which begins in order to reveal the object which is nestled in the patient's speech. To orientate this work, the transference, the symptom and the part of jouissance are crossed.

Definition of early age at onset in bipolar disorder according to distinctive neurodevelopmental pathways: insights from the FACE-BD study.

Background: Converging evidence suggests that a subgroup of bipolar disorder (BD) with an early age at onset (AAO) may develop from aberrant neurodevelopment. However, the definition of early AAO remains unprecise. We thus tested which age cut-off for early AAO best corresponds to distinguishable neurodevelopmental pathways.
