科学领域:
- 神经科学是一个神经科学.
- 老年学是一门学科.
- 精神病学是一个精神病学.
背景情况:
- 神经认知障碍 (NCD) 中的精神病与加速的认知和功能衰退有关.
- 了解非传染性疾病中精神病的种族差异至关重要,即使是在早期阶段.
研究的目的:
- 研究患有非传染性疾病的种族群体中临床医生诊断的精神病的差异.
- 为了检查这些差异是否存在于没有晚期痴呆症的个体中.
主要方法:
- 国家阿尔茨海默氏症协调中心统一数据集 (22,854名参与者) 的回顾性分析.
- 纳入标准:轻度认知障碍 (MCI) 或痴呆症 (40-95岁).
- 精神病被定义为临床医生诊断的幻觉或妄想;使用多变量逻辑回归分析,控制共变量.
主要成果:
- 美国印第安人/阿拉斯加原住民 (AI/AN),黑人拉丁裔,其他拉丁裔,黑人非拉丁裔 (NL) 和白人拉丁裔参与者与白人NL参与者相比,在非传染性疾病中精神病的几率更高.
- 在较年轻的年龄组 (<65岁),只有黑人NL参与者患精神病的几率更高.
- 在较轻的痴呆阶段,AI/AN,黑人拉丁裔,其他拉丁裔,黑人NL和白人拉丁裔参与者患精神病的几率显著增加.
结论:
- 与白人NL人相比,黑人NL,拉丁裔和AI/AN人群在非传染性疾病中表现出更高的精神病率.
- 在单独患有MCI的参与者中,没有观察到精神病的显著差异.
- 对社会文化,心理社会和神经病理因素的进一步研究是有必要的,以解释这些差异.

Psychological and Sociocultural Causes of Schizophrenia
23
Schizophrenia, a complex psychiatric disorder, has been historically misunderstood. Early psychological theories attributed its origins to childhood trauma and unresponsive parenting. However, contemporary research largely rejects these notions, favoring the vulnerability-stress hypothesis. This model proposes that individuals with a genetic predisposition to schizophrenia may develop the disorder following exposure to significant environmental stressors. Notably, studies on high-risk...

Schizophrenia is a neurodevelopmental disorder whose origins are rooted in complex genetic components. Despite our burgeoning understanding, the pathophysiology of this disorder remains incompletely deciphered.
Researchers have identified genetic factors that increase susceptibility to schizophrenia, underscoring the intricate interplay between genetics and environment in disease development. At the core of schizophrenia's pathophysiology is excessive dopaminergic neurotransmission within...

Psychosis: Goals of Pharmacotherapy
95
Antipsychotic drugs are a crucial treatment method for acute and chronic psychoses, bipolar illness, and behavioral disorders. The selection of these drugs depends on several factors, including the state of the disease, clinical judgment, possible drug interactions, and the patient's sensitivity to adverse effects. In immediate scenarios, such as delirium and dementia, short-term treatment with low doses of high-potency typical or atypical agents can effectively manage symptom exacerbation.
