..Hence, we intended to assess in vivo brain temperature (Tb) of schizophrenia patients vs. healthy subjects and to evaluate its potential association with patients' mental status...

..001). The present study may indicate that persistent high environmental temperature may be a contributing factor for psychotic exacerbation in schizophrenia patients and their consequent admission to mental hospitals...

..Our findings may further emphasize the contribution of enhanced 5-HT2 blockade to the 'atypicality' of the atypical APDs and to their greater efficacy in alleviating symptoms of chronic treatment-resistant schizophrenia...

..We could not relate the UR to any apparent general medical condition or to the haloperidol treatment. The presented data suggests that UR in schizophrenic patients might be the end-result of various psychosis-related mechanisms...

..The authors hypothesized that an exercise-heat tolerance test would disclose abnormal thermoregulation in schizophrenic patients...

..CONCLUSION: A subgroup of schizophrenic patients with comorbid minor depression may benefit from pyridoxine addition to their on-going anti-psychotic treatment...

..Further retrospective and prospective studies of adolescent psychiatric inpatients may help delineate the nature and course of psychosis and other psychopathology in this age group...

..The schizophrenia patients exhibited significantly higher baseline and exertion-related rectal temperature. The relevance of these findings to the pathophysiology of schizophrenia-related thermoregulatory disorders is as yet unclear...

..Our negative finding may indicate that the serum CK threshold for myoglobinuria is very high (above 10000 IU/l). Alternatively, psychosis-associated CKemia may be related to an unknown, nontraumatic, pathophysiological mechanism(s)...

..We suggest that medications that antagonize serotonin receptors such as trazodone may improve sexual dysfunction reverting the stimulation of serotonin receptors by SSRIs...

..Neurotoxicity is independent of dopamine and is associated with cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. With the exception of clozapine, neurotoxicity seems relevant to neuroleptic-induced EPS and TD...

..Hence, we hypothesized that treatment-resistant psychotic APD-treated schizophrenia patients' mental status may correlate with their corneal temperature during a continuous 6-week period...

..The aim of this study is to examine relationships between hospital admission legal status (voluntary, psychiatrist-ordered, and court ordered), length of stay and risk of hospital readmission...

..CONCLUSION: Musical hallucinations are more common among psychiatric patients than previously reported and are more suggestive of OCD than of other mental disorders...

..g. propranolol) controlled studies are required to substantiate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of zolmitriptan, as well as the role of serotonergic neurotransmission in NIA...

..No significant differences were found between the groups in all other measurements. Taken together, zolmitriptan was found to be as effective as propranolol for the treatment of NIA. Further placebo-controlled studies are warranted...

..The relevance of this finding to the pathophysiology of schizophrenia or to the antipsychotic effect of neuroleptics merit further investigation...

..Adult PACK is a relatively consistent individual trait. The authors investigated whether psychotic adolescents also present with such PACK characteristics...

..Our findings suggest that specific precautionary measures can effectively reduce the incidence of definite NMS by approximately one order in newly medicated schizophrenia inpatients...

..Schizophrenia patients may exhibit alterations in core/body temperature. Hence, we intended to examine the potential existence of thermoregulatory abnormalities in ambulatory schizophrenia patients...
