The article presents a review of the scientific literature containing data on features neuropsychiatric disorders – complications from nervous system against background viral load caused by SARS-CoV-2 COVID-19. Indirect effects virus such as encephalopathy, myopathy, and critical neuropathy can be hypoxia, respiratory metabolic acidosis, dysregulation homeostasis due to organ failure, autoimmun...

Introduction Autoimmunity mechanisms involve many cells that produce inflammatory cytokines which damage different organs, like the brain. There is a relationship between neuropsychiatric diseases, such as psychosis, and autoimmune diseases. In this article we try to demonstrate treating diseases appropriately improves clinical evolution of patients with first psychotic episode. Objectives The ...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Neuropsychiatric conditions represent a large and increasing disease burden in children. A number of drugs are available for the treatment of these conditions, but most drugs have not been adequately tested in children, and off-label drug use remains widespread. We sought to define and quantify recent and ongoing clinical research on the use of neuropsychiatric drugs i...

The successful use of helminths as therapeutic agents to resolve inflammatory disease was first recorded 40 years ago. Subsequent work in animal models and in humans has demonstrated that the organisms might effectively treat a wide range of inflammatory diseases, including allergies, autoimmune disorders and inflammation-associated neuropsychiatric disorders. However, available information reg...

Homocysteine is a sulfur-containing amino acid derived from the metabolism of methionine, an essential amino acid, and is metabolized by one of two pathways: remethylation or transsulfuration. Abnormalities of these pathways lead to hyperhomocysteinemia. Hyperhomocysteinemia is observed in approximately 5% of the general population and is associated with an increased risk for many disorders, in...

This review describes recent research in pediatric sleep disorders associated with neurodevelopmental disabilities (NDDs) and their treatment. NDDs affect more than 2% of the general population and represent more than 35% of the total cases of children referred to a neuropsychiatric center for sleep problems. Specific clinical and therapeutic aspects of sleep disorders associated with Down synd...

Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune, multisystem disorder with various manifestations. There are limited reports on the neuropsychiatric findings as the first manifestation of SLE in children. Herein, we report a 14-year-old Iranian boy with a two-year history of cognitive dysfunction and behavioural problems as well as a recent history of epistaxis. The patient workup ended wit...

The present study seeks to determine potential associations between viral infections and neuropsychiatric diseases. To address this issue, we investigated the peptide commonalities between viruses that have been related to psychiatric and neurological disorders-such as rubella, human immunodeficiency virus, and herpesviruses-and human distal-less homeobox (DLX) proteins expressed in developing ...
