Patients should be offered a complex of examinations — questionnaires regarding the impact of memory impairment on current cognitive activity (forgetfulness, searching for things, difficulty finding words, etc.), testable self-report of cognitive dynamics, neuropsychological testing and diagnosis of pathopsychological changes such as depression and anxiety. It would appear that counselling in the form of interviews and/or testing of persons able to provide relevant information about the patient should be included in the examination of patients with complaints of memory disorders, regardless of their degree of severity. It may be necessary to conduct a survey on the patient’s daily activity, ability to self-service (score, orientation, planning, control and so on), as well as to obtain information about any memory-related changes that have become visible to others, because it is the data from the partner/relative that increase the predictive value of the diagnostic.

The substantial public health concern due to the misuse of opioids and cannabis, individually and concurrently, is associated with vast societal implications. Identification of risk factors for developing misuse of these substances is of utmost importance. This study aims at developing a machine learning-based model to classify groups of opioid or cannabis dependents using family, microsocial, and medical history variables, and to identify the most significant variables associated with each group.Methods: This naturalistic observational non-interventional study enrolled adult patients diagnosed with opioid use disorder, cannabis use disorder, or a combination of both. Machine learning models, including Stacking, Logistic Regression, Gradient Boosting, k-Nearest Neighbors (kNN), Naive Bayes, Support Vector Machines (SVM), Random Forest, and Decision Tree, were used to classify patients and predict their risk factors based on various personal history variables.Results: The patient groups showed significant differences in their working fields, marital status before and after the formation of drug addiction, substance misuse in relatives, family type, parent-child relationships, and birth order. They also differed significantly in fleeing from home and personality types. Machine learning models provided high classification accuracy across all substance dependence groups, particularly for the cannabis group (>90% accuracy). Significant differences were found among the complex misuse group, where individuals faced severe psychosocial issues originating from the familial environment, such as a history of fleeing home, coming from a single-parent family, and dominant parent-child relationships.Discussion: The methods used in this study provided robust and reliable assessments of the models' predictive performances. The results pointed to significant differences in familial and developmental factors between the three dependence groups. The complex dependence group showed more severe psychosocial issues originating from the family environment. This group also revealed a specific sequence of life events and conditions predictive of complex dependence. These findings highlight the importance of interventions that address risk factors across various life stages and domains. Conclusion: Early identification of high-risk individuals and understanding the risk factors can inform the development of effective interventions at both individual and societal levels, ultimately aiming at mitigating dependence risks and improving overall well-being. Further research with longitudinal designs and diverse populations are needed to increase our understanding of trajectory of addiction formation in order to deliver effective interventions for individuals at risk.","PeriodicalId":414041,"journal":{"name":"Personalized Psychiatry and Neurology","volume":"8 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139273430","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}

Canalopathies can be the cause of congenital epilepsy. The aim of the study is to determine the influence of various determinants on the course of epilepsy. Materials and methods: The results of clinical and genetic analysis of 136 cases of cerebral palsy (CP) with epilepsy are presented. The patients were divided into groups according to the syndromes according to the classification of CP (Panteliadis and R. Korinthenberg, 2005). Epileptic syndromes were divided into three groups: focal childhood epilepsy with structural brain changes and benign epileptiform discharges (BEDC) in EEG - 41 children (30.1%), structural focal epilepsy - 37 children (27.2%), epileptic encephalopathies 58 children (42.7%). Pathogenic variants in genes were confirmed by next generation sequencing (NGS) Sanger methods of venous blood. Results. Remission was more difficult to achieve in patients with determinants of regulation of general aspects of cellular metabolism, mitochondrial function, cytoskeleton formation and function, and transport across the outer membrane. The need for polypharmacy was in the groups that regulate the function of mitochondria, the formation and functioning of the cytoskeleton, and the regulation of membrane excitability. Conclusion. Determinant analysis provides a better understanding of the mechanisms of patient responsiveness to anticonvulsant therapy. The determinant of mitochondrial function most significantly affects its effectiveness. Probably, the violation of energy metabolism in the cell neutralizes the stabilization of the neuronal membrane under the influence of anticonvulsants. The determinant of the formation and functioning of the cytoskeleton, according to our preliminary data, is associated with the formation of malformations of the brain. In this case, the refractoriness of epilepsy can be secondary and determined by the severity of structural changes in the brain.","PeriodicalId":414041,"journal":{"name":"Personalized Psychiatry and Neurology","volume":"65 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139274532","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 clinical diagnosis of this adverse drug reaction is difficult, however, electrocardiography and Holter ECG monitoring are the gold standard for the functional diagnosis of long QT syndrome, although they do not give the psychiatrist an answer about the possible correction of mono- or polytherapy for schizophrenia in a particular patient. Pharmacogenetic testing is an integral part of the personalized strategy of psychopharmacotherapy in modern psychiatry. Slowing the efflux of antipsychotics through the histohematic barriers and the membrane of neurons and cardiomyocytes, along with slowing down the metabolism of antipsychotics in the liver with the participation of cytochrome P450 enzymes, can significantly increase the risk of antipsychotics induced long QT syndrome and sudden death syndrome.
