Psychotropic dose equivalence in Japan Tập 69 Số 8 - Trang 440-447 - 2015
Toshiya Inada, Ataru Inagaki
Psychotropic dose equivalence is an important concept when estimating the
approximate psychotropic doses patients receive, and deciding on the approximate
titration dose when switching from one psychotropic agent to another. It is also
useful from a research viewpoint when defining and extracting specific subgroups
of subjects. Unification of various agents into a single standard agent
facilitates... hiện toàn bộ
Brain‐derived neurotrophic factor as a biomarker for mood disorders: An historical overview and future directions Tập 64 Số 4 - Trang 341-357 - 2010
Kenji Hashimoto
Mood disorders, such as major depressive disorder (MDD) and bipolar disorder
(BPD), are the most prevalent psychiatric conditions, and are also among the
most severe and debilitating. However, the precise neurobiology underlying these
disorders is currently unknown. One way to combat these disorders is to discover
novel biomarkers for them. The development of such biomarkers will aid both in
the d... hiện toàn bộ
Glutamate hypothesis in schizophrenia Tập 73 Số 5 - Trang 204-215 - 2019
Yota Uno, Joseph T. Coyle
Schizophrenia is a chronic and severe psychiatric disorder that has profound
impact on an individual’s life and on society. Thus, developing more effective
therapeutic interventions is essential. Over the past quarter‐century, an
abundance of evidence from pharmacologic challenges, post‐mortem studies, brain
imaging, and genetic studies supports the role of glutamatergic dysregulation in
the patho... hiện toàn bộ
Resting state default‐mode network connectivity in early depression using a seed region‐of‐interest analysis: Decreased connectivity with caudate nucleus Tập 63 Số 6 - Trang 754-761 - 2009
Robyn Bluhm, Peter Williamson, Ruth A. Lanius, Jean Théberge, Maria Densmore, Robert Bartha, Richard W. J. Neufeld, Elizabeth Osuch
Aim: Reports on resting brain activity in healthy controls have described a
default‐mode network (DMN) and important differences in DMN connectivity have
emerged for several psychiatric conditions. No study to date, however, has
investigated resting‐state DMN in relatively early depression before years of
medication treatment. The objective of the present study was, therefore, to
investigate the ... hiện toàn bộ
Trauma, depression, and resilience of earthquake/tsunami/nuclear disaster survivors of Hirono, Fukushima, Japan Tập 68 Số 7 - Trang 524-533 - 2014

radiation levels. The aims of this study were to investigate the prevalence of
symptoms of post‐traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, and poor general
health among survivors, to test the predictive roles of resilience on mental and
physical ... hiện toàn bộ

Smaller amygdala is associated with anxiety in patients with panic disorder Tập 63 Số 3 - Trang 266-276 - 2009
Fumi Hayano, Motoaki Nakamura, Takeshi Asami, Kumi Uehara, Takeshi Yoshida, Tomohide Roppongi, Tatsui Otsuka, Tomio Inoue, Yoshio Hirayasu
Aims: Anxiety a core feature of panic disorder, is linked to function of the
amygdala. Volume alterations in the brain of patients with panic disorder have
previously been reported, but there has been no report of amygdala volume
association with anxiety.Methods: Volumes of hippocampus and amygdala were
manually measured using magnetic resonance imaging obtained from 27 patients
with panic disor... hiện toàn bộ
T‐helper 1/T‐helper 2 cytokine imbalance and clinical phenotypes of acute‐phase major depression Tập 61 Số 4 - Trang 415-420 - 2007
TIAO‐LAI HUANG, Chien‐Te Lee
Abstract Several studies have discussed the relationships between T‐helper 1
(Th1) or Th2 cytokines and major depression. The aim of the present study was to
investigate the relationships between Th1/Th2 cytokine balance and clinical
phenotypes of acute‐phase major depression. A total of 82 subjects including 42
patients with major depressive disorder and 40 healthy controls were recruited.
