However, recent advances in information technology made quantification possible in this field through the introduction of engineering methodologies like machine learning.\u0000Methods: This study was conducted from June 2021 to March 2023. Psychiatrists rated the severity of cervical dystonia into 4 levels (0: none, 1: minimal, 2: mild, and 3: moderate) for 101 videoclips, recorded from 87 psychiatric patients receiving antipsychotics. The Face Mesh function of the open-source framework MediaPipe was employed to calculate the tilt angles of anterocollis or retrocollis, laterocollis, and torticollis. These were calculated to examine the range of tilt angles for the 4 levels of severity of the different types of cervical dystonia.\u0000Results: The tilt angles calculated using Face Mesh for each level of dystonia were 0° ≤ θ < 6° for none, 6° ≤ θ < 11° for minimal, 11° ≤ θ < 25° for mild, and 25° ≤ θ for moderate laterocollis; 0° ≤ θ < 11° for none, 11° ≤ θ < 18° for minimal, 18° ≤ θ <25° for mild, and 25° ≤ θ for moderate anterocollis or retrocollis; and 0° ≤ θ < 9° for none, 9° ≤ θ < 17° for minimal, 17° ≤ θ < 32° for mild, and 32° ≤ θ for moderate torticollis.\u0000Conclusion: While further validation with new cases is needed, the range of tilt angles in this study could provide a standard for future artificial intelligence devices for cervical dystonia.","PeriodicalId":516853,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Clinical Psychiatry","volume":"51 29","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140701444","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}

Whether PP represents a risk factor for SI independently of depression, anxiety, and hopelessness or is more prominent and temporally unstable in patients with depression and borderline personality disorder (BPD) is also unclear. <b>Methods:</b> From November 2020 to December 2022, psychiatric inpatients with depression without (N = 37) and with (N = 30) BPD were recruited to an ecological momentary assessment (EMA) study, wherein their PP, severity of depression, SI, and hopelessness were assessed 3 times daily using visual analog scales.

PP correlated with hopelessness (<i>r</i> = 0.417), depression (<i>r</i> = 0.339), and anxiety (<i>r</i> = 0.496), but the between-patient variance of PP remained at 1.26 (95% CI, 1.025-1.533) after controlling for these variables. The within-patient variance of PP was associated with SI (β = 0.17 [95% CI, 0.12-0.22]) with a magnitude comparable to hopelessness (β = 0.1 [95% CI, 0.05-0.15]) and depression (β = 0.12 [95% CI, 0.08-0.17]). Patients with depression and BPD reported higher daily PP and SI (<i>P</i> < .001) and a more prominent within-patient variation in PP. <b>Conclusions:</b> In psychiatric inpatients with depression, besides depression and hopelessness, PP represents an independent risk factor for SI, varying within a timescale of days.

It is less well known that time spent in sedentary behaviors, such as television-viewing or sitting at a desk, are associated with adverse health outcomes even after taking into consideration health-related physical activity. Although sedentary behaviors have become common in daily life, people tend to substantially underestimate how sedentary they actually are. The average person spends nearly 10 hours per day in a sedentary state, during leisure activities or work; sedentariness is even greater in persons with major mental illness such as psychosis. This article explains what sedentariness is, why sedentary behaviors are common in daily life, and how sedentariness is defined and assessed. Sedentariness is an important concept in its own right; it is not merely an absence of health-related physical activity. Sedentariness is associated with adverse outcomes in children and adolescents, adults, and older adults. Examples are provided of associations between sedentariness and adverse medical outcomes such as the metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular disease, stroke, and all cause mortality. Examples are also provided of associations between sedentariness and adverse mental health outcomes such as anxiety, depression, and dementia. Importantly, the adverse associations are independent of health-related physical activity; however, higher levels of physical activity may attenuate or offset the adverse effects of sedentariness. It is hoped that this article will encourage readers to reduce sedentary behaviors with a view to improve long-term physical and mental health.","PeriodicalId":516853,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Clinical Psychiatry","volume":"15 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139670382","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}
