Mice mutant for genes associated with schizophrenia: common phenotype or distinct endophenotypes?

5 Dec 2009 Schizophrenia is a complex neuropsychiatric disorder whose etiology involves a mixture of genetic and environmental factors. By virtue of this complexity, schizophrenia is a field of research in which a number of key technologies converge: in ... Read more...

Embolization of hydrophilic catheter coating to the lungs: report of a case mimicking granulomatous vasculitis.

30 Oct 2009 Hydrophilic coatings are used on intravascular devices to facilitate ease of manipulation and to minimize complications such as thrombosis during a procedure and vasospasm after a procedure. We report a case of embolization of hydrophilic coating of ... Read more...

'Salience syndrome' replaces 'schizophrenia' in DSM-V and ICD-11: psychiatry's evidence-based entry into the 21st century?

30 Oct 2009 OBJECTIVE: Japan was the first country to abandon the 19th century term of 'mind-splitting disease' (schizophrenia). Revisions of DSM and ICD are forthcoming. Should the rest of the world follow Japan's example? METHOD: A comprehensive literature ... Read more...
