Pages1720–1729Objective: Diagnosing attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in adults is difficult when diagnosticians cannot establish an onset before the DSM-IV criterion of age 7 or if the number of symptoms recalled does not achieve DSM’s ...

Pages1730–1738Objective: The association between deficits in executive functioning and functional outcomes was examined among adults with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Method: Subjects were adults who did (N=213) and ...

Pages1739–1746Objective: The purpose of this study was to measure the effects of transference interpretations (the assumed core active ingredient) in dynamic psychotherapy, using an experimental design. Method: One hundred patients were ...

Pages1747–1753Objective: It has been suggested that deficits in higher-order cognitive functions serve as intermediate phenotypic indicators of genetic vulnerability to schizophrenia. The dopamine hypothesis of schizophrenia postulates that insufficiency of ...

Pages1754–1759Objective: Bipolar affective disorder is clinically heterogeneous, and clinical features that run in families may help define more homogeneous phenotypes. The authors sought to establish whether polarity at illness onset, which is related to ...

Pages1760–1766Objective: Genome-wide linkage analyses of schizophrenia have identified several regions that may harbor schizophrenia susceptibility genes, but given the complex etiology of the disorder, it is unlikely that all susceptibility regions have ...

Pages1767–1776Objective: Three linkage studies of bipolar disorder have implicated chromosome 12q24.3, with significant lod scores of over 3.00. Several other linkage studies have found lod scores between 2.00 and 3.00. In order to identify which gene on ...

Pages1777–1783Objective: This study examined rates, predictors, and course of probable posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and depression among seriously injured soldiers during and following hospitalization. Method: The patients were ...

Pages1784–1790Objective: Most of the functional neuroimaging studies of depression have focused primarily on the resting state or responses to negatively valenced stimuli. However, depression consists not only of an accentuation of negative affective ...

Pages1791–1797Objective: After surgery for breast cancer, many women experience anxiety relating to the cancer that can adversely affect quality of life and emotional functioning during the year postsurgery. Symptoms such as intrusive thoughts may be ...

Pages1798–1805Objective: Cannabis use may produce neurophysiological disturbances similar to those observed in schizophrenia, particularly in relation to altered neural synchronization. Therefore, the current experiment examined the effect of cannabis use on ...

Pages1806–1812Objective: Compulsive buying (uncontrolled urges to buy, with resulting significant adverse consequences) has been estimated to affect from 1.8% to 16% of the adult U.S. population. To the authors’ knowledge, no study has used a large general ...

Pages1813–1820Objective: Adults with mental retardation have histories of cognitive and adaptive deficits posing unique ethical challenges for research consent assessment. This study examined the capacity of persons with mental retardation to consent to ...

Pages1821–1825Objective: This study attempted to estimate the relative risk of developing hyperlipidemia after treatment with antipsychotics in relation to no antipsychotic treatment. Method: A matched case-control analysis was performed ...

Publication date: 01 October 2006
Pages1826–1829Objective: The serotonin 5-HT 1A receptor may modulate some of the negative, cognitive, and affective symptoms of schizophrenia and is a potential target of action of some antipsychotic drugs. A functional polymorphism in ...

Pages1829–1831Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the functional state of glutamatergic neurons in the cerebellar cortex of patients with schizophrenia. Method: The authors measured messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) ...

Pages1832–1834Objective: There is evidence of linkage between chromosome 15q14 and the P50 auditory evoked response, a heritable neuropsychological marker associated with increased risk of schizophrenia. Chromosome 15q14 harbors the alpha-7 nicotinic ...
