Clinical correlates of symptom severity in skin picking disorder
BACKGROUND Skin picking disorder (SPD) remains poorly understood with limited data regarding its underlying pathophysiology and appropriate treatment choices. One approach to refining our treatment of SPD might be to better understand the range of illness severity and the clinical associations with severity. METHODS 125 adults aged 18 to 65 with a primary, current DSM-5 diagnosis of SPD were ...
متن کاملCortical neuroanatomic correlates of symptom severity in primary progressive aphasia.
OBJECTIVE To test the validity and reliability of a new measure of clinical impairment in primary progressive aphasia (PPA), the Progressive Aphasia Severity Scale (PASS), and to investigate relationships with MRI-based cortical thickness biomarkers for localizing and quantifying the severity of anatomic abnormalities. METHODS Patients with PPA were rated using the PASS and underwent performa...
متن کاملSmoking in schizophrenia: diagnostic specificity, symptom correlates, and illness severity.
BACKGROUND Cigarette smoking was consistently found to be more prevalent in individuals with schizophrenia than in other psychiatric groups and the general population. These findings have been interpreted as evidence of a specific association between schizophrenia and smoking. However, the supporting data come primarily from cross-sectional studies, which are susceptible to confounding. Our aim...
متن کاملBlood Dendritic Cell Frequency Declines in Idiopathic Parkinson’s Disease and Is Associated with Motor Symptom Severity
The role of inflammation in Parkinson's Disease (PD) is well appreciated, but its underlying mechanisms are still unclear. Our objective was to determine whether dendritic cells (DC), a unique type of migratory immune cells that regulate immunological response and inflammation have an impact on PD. In a case-control study including 80 PD patients and 80 age- and gender-matched healthy control s...
متن کاملDopaminergic System in Linguistic Comprehension and Grammar: fMRI study of Parkinsons Disease
This objective of this study is how grammar is implemented in the brain, with special attention to a neurotransmitter dopamine. Among numerous kinds of molecules known to exist in the nervous system, several molecules are known to function as “neurotransmitters”, which mediate gaps between neurons (i.e., synapses) when a neuron transmits signals to another. In this study, a neurotransmitter dop...
