..The aim of our study was to determine whether a functional polymorphism of the myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) G511C (Val142Leu) is associated with white matter volumes in patients with OCD...

..So, a growing body of evidence establishes its neuroprotective and neurotrophic actions in bipolar disorder...

..This could be the keystone to a better understanding of the neurobiological basis of hypochondriasis...

..So we performed a volumetric MRI study in patients with BDD focusing on the in vivo neuroanatomy of thalamus, caudate nucleus, anterior cingulate cortex, and orbito-frontal cortex (OFC) concurrently...

..The purpose of the present study was therefore to investigate this in an adult OCD patient group using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)...

..There is a dearth of literature on patients erroneously diagnosed and treated for bipolar disorder...

..But it is clear that although the present findings are of considerable significance they should be supported by the studies with larger sample...

..In summary, our results suggest that sertindole is tolerable and despite dose-related QT prolongation, sertindole had not the proarrhythmic profile. Future studies with larger sample evaluating the effects of treatment are required...

..Duration of illness was correlated with both hippocampus and left amygdala. Our findings suggest that hippocampus and amygdalar abnormalities can be considered in refractoriness to OCD...

..In conclusion, our results suggest that there may be a relationship between increased antioxidant enzyme levels and MDA, and SP...

..The results suggest that nizatidine treatment may stop but not reduce the weight gain and is correlated with leptin levels in patients with schizophrenia on quetiapine treatment...

....

..The change in total YMRS scores correlated with change in leptin levels and that in weight. In conclusion, our result suggest that leptin may be associated with lithium-induced weight gain...

..In conclusion, our results suggest that not only the patients with PTSD have considerable DST nonsuppression but also PTSD may be associated with neopterin...

..The purpose of the present study was therefore to compare hippocampal chemicals in patients with OCD with those in healthy subjects with no psychopathology...

..None of the patients withdrew from the study. The results of the present study suggest that citalopram has shown promising results in patients with SP...

....

..At final assessment, three patients were considered 'very much improved' and four 'much improved' according to CGI-I. Our results suggest that sildenafil use is effective and well-tolerated in patients with olanzapine-induced ED...

..The aim of the present study was to compare effects of haloperidol, the most commonly used antipsychotic, and quetiapine, a novel antipsychotic agent used in Turkey, on serum prolactin (PRL) levels...

..Our results suggest that the patients with manic episodes and those with bipolar I disorder in full remission seem to be associated with decreased serum cholesterol and leptin levels...

....

..In addition, there was a positive correlation between leptin levels and the duration of illness. It would appear that leptin may be associated with premature ejaculation...

..Low serum cholesterol and leptin levels are associated with all dimensions of the disorder - impulsivity, aggression and suicidality - but are not associated with the presence and the severity of comorbid depression...

..There was a positive correlation between cholesterol and leptin levels in both groups. Our results suggest that suicide attempts seem to be associated with decreased serum cholesterol and leptin levels...

..As these data were obtained in patients in their first-episode (all the patients were manic), they cannot be explained by chronicity of illness or pharmacological treatment...

..Leptin seems to be related with lipid metabolism. Therefore, the aim was to measure total serum cholesterol and leptin levels in 16 medication-free schizophrenic patients with and without suicide attempts and in 16 healthy controls...

..The addition of quetiapine to ongoing SRI therapy has been found to be effective and well-tolerated approach in patients with refractory OCD...

..In the present study, we decided to examine the efficacy of citalopram, an SSRI, in the treatment of premature ejaculation...

..7% of the patients were responders. The results suggest that switching to tianeptine appears to be useful for alleviating sexual dysfunction caused by other antidepressants...

..We planned to comparatively investigate the effects of the atypical antipsychotics quetiapine, olanzapine, risperidone, and clozapine on leptin and triglyceride levels and weight gain...

..In conclusion, our results suggest that not the OCD-D group had normal neopterin levels and DST results, and also that OCD may be a heterogeneous subtype characterized by some biological indicators or anxiety and affective disorders...

..However, leptin does not seem to be responsible for dyslipidemia caused by AA or mood stabilizers in euthymic bipolar patients...

....

..05). In conclusion, our results support the hypothesis that an association between akathisia and iron metabolism exists...

..Taken together, our findings suggest that reductions in OFC and increase in thalamic volumes may be associated with refractoriness of OCD and may not be due to changes in cingulate and caudate regions...

..More comprehensive and detailed studies are needed to decipher the exact role of free radicals in OCD...

..Probably, these findings seem to be associated with some features of the atypical depressive disorders such as weight gain, a result of hyperphagia...

....

..Future studies with larger sample evaluating the effects of treatment are required...

..Green was the most frequently preferred of all colors and the number 3 was the most preferred number. Our results demonstrate that patients' choice of color and number reflect the region's religious and cultural milieu...

..The study has also revealed that lower education level and socioeconomic and sociocultural problems may play a role in the occurrence of the disorder as well as regarding its course...

..Therefore, we firstly aimed to show an association between PWD and panic disorder, a state of high sympathetic tone...

..A high proportion of CD patients have significant dissociative pathology. The proper diagnosis of these patients has important implications for their clinical course...

..CONCLUSION: In conclusion, the results suggest that the ability for antioxidant enzymes and MDA to normalize through symptom alleviation reveals that they might be trait marker of PE. Further placebo-controlled studies are needed...
