Article Abstract

Background And Hypothesis: Complex schizophrenia symptoms were recently conceptualized as interactive symptoms within a network system. However, it remains unknown how a schizophrenia network changed during acute antipsychotic treatment. The present study aimed to evaluate the interactive change of schizophrenia symptoms under seven antipsychotics from individual time series.

Study Design: Data on 3030 schizophrenia patients were taken from a multicenter randomized clinical trial and used to estimate the partial correlation cross-sectional networks and longitudinal random slope networks based on multivariate multilevel model. Thirty symptoms assessed by The Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale clustered the networks.

Study Results: Five stable communities were detected in cross-sectional networks and random slope networks that describe symptoms change over time. Delusions, emotional withdrawal, and lack of spontaneity and flow of conversation featured as central symptoms, and conceptual disorganization, hostility, uncooperativeness, and difficulty in abstract thinking featured as bridge symptoms, all showing high centrality in the random slope network. Acute antipsychotic treatment changed the network structure (M-test = 0.116, P < .001) compared to baseline, and responsive subjects showed lower global strength after treatment (11.68 vs 14.18, S-test = 2.503, P < .001) compared to resistant subjects. Central symptoms and bridge symptoms kept higher centrality across random slope networks of different antipsychotics. Quetiapine treatment network showed improvement in excitement symptoms, the one featured as both central and bridge symptom.

Conclusion: Our findings revealed the central symptoms, bridge symptoms, cochanging features, and individualized features under different antipsychotics of schizophrenia. This brings implications for future targeted drug development and search for pathophysiological mechanisms.

Background: Oral emtricitabine/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (F/TDF) preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP) effectiveness against HIV acquisition highly depends on adherence. For men who have sex with men, a dosing study in the United States (US) population defined clinically meaningful tenofovir diphosphate (TFV-DP) thresholds in dried blood spots (DBS) based on the rounded 25th percentile for 2, 4, and 7 doses/week as 350, 700, and 1,250 fmol/punch. However, divergent efficacy results in the first generation randomized clinical trials of F/TDF PrEP among African women led to several hypotheses to question whether the pharmacology and adherence requirement for oral F/TDF PrEP may be different in cisgender women compared to what is already established for men.

To a large extent, the food security and ecological balance of a region, particularly in agriculturally dominated areas, largely depend on the sustainable use and management of groundwater resources. However, in recent times, both natural and human-driven factors have heavily impacted the lowering of groundwater resources. Therefore, the present study has been carried out in a drought-prone region of Birbhum district, part of the red-lateritic agro-climatic zone of West Bengal, Eastern India, to delineate groundwater potential zones (GWPZs).

Background And Purpose: To review the existing evidence on multiple timepoint assessments of optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) as an indicator of intraindividual variation of intracranial pressure (ICP).

Methods: A systematic search identified studies assessing intraindividual variation in ICP through multiple timepoint measurements of ONSD using ultrasonography. Meta-analysis of studies assessing intraindividual correlation coefficients between ONSD and ICP was performed using a random effects model, and we calculated the weighted correlation coefficient for the expected change in ICP associated with variations in ONSD.
