OBJECTIVE Previous studies suggest that the unexplained sudden and severe onset of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and/or tics may be infection or immune precipitated. Beta lactam antibiotics may be neuroprotective beyond their antimicrobial efficacy. We examine the preliminary safety and efficacy of cefdinir in reducing obsessive-compulsive and/or tic severity in children with new-onset sy...

BACKGROUND For treatment-refractory Obsessive-Compulsive-Disorder (OCD) patients, anterior capsulotomy is a potential therapy. We investigated what kinds of cognitive deficits treatment-refractory patients have and how anterior capsulotomy modifies their clinical and cognitive profiles. METHODS Ten treatment-refractory OCD patients were examined in two groups (operated and non-operated) with ...

AIM To determine the prevalence and risks of suicidality in a group of patients with epilepsy. METHODS Included were 200 adult patients and 100 matched healthy subjects. The clinical interview using The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (4th edition), Beck Depression Inventory (2nd edition) (BDI-II), Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAM-A), Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Sc...

Study selection Studies were eligible if they were randomised, doubleblind parallel trials of at least 8 weeks duration; used the Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale (Y-BOCS) to assess the efficacy of clomipramine or selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors for obsessive-compulsive disorder, and included point estimates, standard deviations or calculable data. The authors included 25 trials.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the long-term outcome and changes of the personality and psychopathological profile of opiate addicts after bilateral stereotactic nucleus accumbens (NAc) ablative surgery. METHODS 60 patients were followed up for 5 years and abstinent status and adverse events were evaluated. NAc lesion volumes and locations were obtained by postoperative MRI scans. The Chinese versi...

OBJECTIVE In many patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), residual symptoms persist despite a clinically meaningful response. The objective of this study was to examine whether addition of behavior therapy would augment treatment outcome in these patients. METHOD Ninety-six patients with DSM-IV OCD who had responded to 3 months of drug treatment were randomly assigned to either rec...

Recently, Brzezi\'nski, Koenig and K\"ulshammer have introduced the notion of normal exact Borel subalgebra a quasihereditary algebra. They shown that there exists one-to-one correspondence between directed bocses algebras with homological subalgebra. In this short note, we prove every is automatically normal. As corollary, conclude bocs has group-like element. These results simplify K\"ulshamm...

In this paper, we show the existence of attached comultiplication structure on $\operatorname{Hom}_{eAe}(eA,D(Ae))$ if an $(eAe,A)$-bimodule $eA$ has double centraliser property over algebra $A$ with idempotent $e$. Then apply it gendo-Gorenstein algebras. As applications, give a sufficient and necessary condition for to be Gorenstein, bocs-theoretic characterisation property.

Çalışmamızda COVID-19 pandemisinde Obsesif Kompulsif Bozukluk (OKB) tanısı ile takip edilen çocuk/ergenlerin OKB belirtilerinin, anne-babalarının çocuk/ergenlere karşı tutumları ve evlilik çatışmaları ilişkisinin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır.
