Negative symptoms in schizophrenia: a study in a large clinical sample of patients using a novel automated method by Robert Stewart, Hitesh Shetty, Matthew Broadbent, Angus Roberts, Rashmi Patel, Philip McGuire, Richard D Hayes, Nishamali Jayatilleke, Genevieve Gorrell, Chin-Kuo Chang, Richard Jackson, Nadia Foskett, Caroline Johnston

“…Negative symptoms were associated with younger age, male gender and single marital status, and with increased likelihood of hospital admission (OR 1.24, 95% CI 1.10 to 1.39), longer duration of admission (β-coefficient 20.5 days, 7.6–33.5), and increased likelihood of readmission following discharge (OR 1.58, 1.28 to 1.95).Conclusions Negative symptoms were common and associated with adverse clinical outcomes, consistent with evidence that these symptoms account for much of the disability associated with schizophrenia. …”

Thrombotic Complications in Inflammatory Bowel Disease by A. V. Borota, A. A. Borota, E. V. Onishchenko

“…The pathogenesis of thrombosis in inflammatory colon diseases is a multifactor process, which remains to be understood.Conclusion.The management of patients with IBD in combination with thromboembolic complications requires an individual multidisciplinary approach. Taking into account the pathogenetic factors, the following options are possible in the prevention and treatment of thrombotic complications in IBD: strengthening the basic therapy of the primary disease; administration of prophylactic doses of anticoagulants under dynamic continuous laboratory control in the acute period using the methods of conservative therapy of thrombotic complications (elastic compression of the lower extremities) in the period of exacerbation of the primary disease.…”

Quantifying monochromatic and polychromatic optical blur anisotropy in the periphery of myopes and emmetropes using a radial asymmetry metric by Chloe Degre Kendrick, Dibyendu Pusti, Geunyoung Yoon

“…These differences were minimized when chromatic aberrations were included, though the trend remained the same.ImplicationsA trend of more vertical optical blur in the temporal periphery of myopes strengthens the hypothesis that myopes experience different peripheral optical blur than emmetropes, though the small sample size of the current study limits generalizability of the results. A thorough account of peripheral blur across the visual field may lead to a better understanding of the cues that the peripheral visual system might rely on during processes such as accommodation, emmetropization, and myopization.…”
