{"title":"Negative Symptom Domains in Children and Adolescents at Ultra-High Risk for Psychosis: Association With Real-Life Functioning.","authors":"Giulia Maria Giordano, Davide Palumbo, Maria Pontillo, Armida Mucci, Silvana Galderisi, Stefano Vicari","doi":"10.1093/schizbullopen/sgac025","DOIUrl":"10.1093/schizbullopen/sgac025","url":null,"abstract":"<p><strong>Background: </strong>Negative symptoms (NS) appear early in subjects at ultra-high risk (UHR) for psychosis and may increase the risk of conversion to psychotic disorders and poor outcome. Contrary to schizophrenia, there is no consensus on the conceptualization and factor structure of NS in UHR subjects. This study aims to explore NS prevalence, factor structure, and impact on the outcome of UHR state in children and adolescents.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>71 UHR were recruited at the Neuropsychiatry Unit of the Hospital Bambino Gesù in Rome. We examined the prevalence of NS of at least moderate severity, the factor structure of NS by Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA), and correlations between extracted factors and functioning. We also evaluated the severity of baseline NS in subjects who converted to psychosis (converters) and in those who did not convert (nonconverters) at 1-year follow-up.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>At baseline, all participants showed at least one NS of at least moderate severity. PCA and CFA yielded a two-factor solution: an ''Expressive\" and an \"Experiential\" factor. Only the Experiential factor was associated with functioning. At baseline, severity of NS did not differ between converters (<i>N</i> = 16) and nonconverters (<i>N</i> = 55).</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>In UHR children and adolescents NS have a high prevalence, a significant impact on functioning, and cluster in two-factors. Replications by independent studies, with state-of-the-art instruments and longer duration of follow-up, are needed to improve the characterization of NS in this population, clarify their impact on the outcome and enhance their early identification, prevention, and treatment.</p>","PeriodicalId":39875,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Geodetic Society of Japan","volume":"47 1","pages":"sgac025"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11205885/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86322346","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Most earlier measurements instead were initiatives by individual scientists or particular agencies. In many cases early and promising results have been followed by demonstrations that apparent signals were in fact noise. Partly because of this, few programs have lasted more than a few years, two examples being measurements with shallow strainmeters in the 1960’s and shallow tiltmeters in the 1970’s. I use some of these historical examples, and concepts from studies of scientific experimentation, to suggest some general conclusions about this type of measurement.","PeriodicalId":39875,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Geodetic Society of Japan","volume":"53 1","pages":"157-182"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-06-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"64263610","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The gravitomagnetic dragging of the orbit of a test body is currently under measurement by analyzing a suitable combination of the orbital re siduals of LAGEOS and LAGEOS ‡U. The lower bound of the error in this experiment amount to 12.92%. It is due to the mismodeling in the even zonal harmonics of the geopotential which are the most important sources of systematic error. A similar approach could be used in order to measure the relativistic gravitoelectric pericenter shift in the field of the Earth with a lower bound of the systematic relative error of 6.59~10-3 due to the even zonal harmonics as well. The inclusion of the ranging data to the Japanese passive geodetic satellite Ajisai would im prove such limits to 10.78% and 8.1~10-4 respectively and would allow to improve the accu racy in the determination of the PPN parameters ƒA and ƒA.","PeriodicalId":39875,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Geodetic Society of Japan","volume":"48 1","pages":"13-20"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"64263973","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
