JOURNAL ARTICLE

OBJECTIVE: This mixed methods study examined depictions of spirituality among people with psychosis in influential television programming. Spirituality is a central strength for many people with psychosis. Yet, despite the important role media plays in shaping perceptions, little research has examined the intersection between spirituality and psychosis in popular media. METHODS: To address this gap, we conducted a content analysis of the 50 most viewed primetime fictional television shows over a 10-year period as determined by the Nielsen rating organization...

OBJECTIVE: There are contradicting reports regarding the relationship between cannabis use and male sexual functions with almost no data about synthetic cannabinoids (SC) and its effect on male sexual functions. This study investigates psychological concerns related to male sexual functions among cannabis and SC users. The research aims to assess different sexual functions and aspects of sexual psychopathology in cannabis and SCs dependent men compared to controls. METHOD: Thirty male patients with cannabis dependence, thirty male patients with SCs dependence and thirty matched controls from the outpatient clinic of Kasr Al Ainy hospital, Egypt, were assessed using Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV TR Axis I Disorders (SCID-I), International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF), and Sexuality scale...

INTRODUCTION: Providers working with children who are dying are especially prone to burnout. Encouraging models of human flourishing may mitigate burnout and improve quality of care. However, models of job satisfaction and human flourishing have not been well-described. This project explores factors that promote human flourishing among caregivers working with children in pediatric palliative care in South Africa. METHODS: A convenience sample of caregivers working in pediatric palliative care were invited to complete an anonymous, confidential survey comprised of validated instruments...

JOURNAL ARTICLE

BACKGROUND: Cognitive impairment due to small vessel cerebrovascular disease (SVCVD) results in 35% to 67% of vascular dementia, which may be overlooked by healthcare providers due to its insidious onset. SVCVD involves chronic cerebral ischemia and hypoperfusion, endothelial dysfunction, and blood-brain barrier disruption, as well as interstitial fluid reflux obstruction. OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical efficacy of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) combined with donepezil hydrochloride (vs donepezil alone) in the treatment of mild-to-moderate cognitive impairment in patients with SVCVD...

OBJECTIVE: Elder Mistreatment (EM) occurs in approximately 10% of older adults and is associated with trauma-related outcomes including depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, and early mortality. Low screening and older adult self-reporting rates, especially within Emergency Departments represent missed opportunities for identify and mitigate future EM occurrences and consequences. To date, no studies have obtained EM survivors perspectives of EM screening and response practices in emergency departments...

OBJECTIVE: Anhedonia is a common symptom of depression, but is also a negative symptom of schizophrenia. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of vortioxetine on anhedonia in patients with schizophrenia. METHODS: A total of 120 patients with schizophrenia in remission who met inclusion criteria were randomized 1:1 by the envelope method into intervention and control groups. All participants in both groups were divided into three subgroups based on the antipsychotic therapy they were receiving (olanzapine, risperidone, or aripiprazole)...

BACKGROUND: Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a prevalent and burdensome mental health condition, often resistant to conventional treatments. Agomelatine (Valdoxan), a compound acting on serotonin and melatonin systems, has shown promise in anecdotal reports and case studies for OCD treatment. METHODS: A randomized, double-blind clinical trial was conducted with 60 patients diagnosed with treatment-resistant OCD. Participants were divided into an intervention group (receiving agomelatine 50 mg/day) and a control group (placebo)...

Anxiety disorders in children and adolescents commonly appear in primary care, and many clinicians will need to guide families on treatment. Our purpose in this article is to give a brief overview of assessment and treatment principles for clinicians who intend to work in primary care. Anxiety and its expression are heavily influenced by children's developmental progression and capabilities. Anxiety disorders have multiple underlying etiologies including temperament and environmental exposure to stressors and trauma...

Carlie Nikel, Limor Gildenblatt
Background : The unrelenting turmoil of the COVID-19 pandemic has been especially hard on those in the healthcare field. This chronic stress has resulted in depleted compassion towards those we serve and with whom we work. Researchers have suggested that empathy is a finite resource that must be replenished. For physicians in residency training, where finding meaning and purpose in their work is already a challenge, the spark for medicine and helping others may have been extinguished. Purpose : This article will explore interventions implemented in two family medicine residency programs to address concerns of burnout and compassion fatigue inflated by the Covid-19 pandemic...

Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) is an evidence based practice that provides early integrated intervention and treatment to patients with Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) and/or Substance Use Disorders (SUD). Three Primary Care Medical Homes (PCMHs) in North Texas were selected as pilot sites for a SAMHSA grant designed to integrate SBIRT into existing services. The goal of this program is to support the stabilization and community reintegration of individuals who present with SUD in our community by providing them with a continuum of care from screening, brief intervention, brief treatment, and referral to services...

REVIEW
Julie Brennan, Kevin Phelps, Angele McGrady, Paul Schultz
"Lifestyle medicine (LM) is an evidence-based therapeutic intervention delivered by clinicians trained and certified in this specialty to prevent, treat, and often reverse chronic disease". Eighty percent of the conditions primary care physicians routinely encounter in their offices, e.g., diabetes mellitus, hypertension, COPD, cardiovascular disease, have root causes in poor lifestyle choices, e.g., smoking, insufficient sleep, being sedentary, eating highly processed foods. Lifestyle is the foundation of most chronic disease management guidelines aimed at reducing morbidity and mortality...

Background: This case explores the challenges encountered in managing treatment-resistant paranoid schizophrenia, focusing on the limitations of using Clozapine due to the risk of neutropenia. The United Kingdom Clozapine Patient Monitoring Service (UK CPMS) and its eligibility criteria are discussed, highlighting the potential benefits of expanding access to Clozapine for patients who could potentially benefit from this medication. The integration of Clozapine genetic testing as a personalised approach is explored, emphasising the importance of identifying patients with a favourable genetic profile for Clozapine response...
