Methods A total of 242 women, 2–12 weeks postpartum, were randomly recruited for this cross‐sectional analytical study. The Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale was used for depression screening, and multivariate logistic regression analysis was employed to assess the factors associated with PPD. Results The study showed that 34.7% of the postpartum mothers were within the age range of 25–29, with a mean age of 27.9 (standard deviation [SD] ± 6.33). The prevalence of PPD was 50.4% (95% confidence interval [CI] 43.9–56.9). Several significant risk factors were identified, including inadequate prenatal visits (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] = 13.44, 95% CI 3.66–49.37, P < 0.001), obstetric complications (aOR = 3.39, 95% CI 1.23–11.19, P = 0.019), less than 3 weeks postpartum (aOR = 8.14, 95% CI 1.95, 33.94, P = 0.004), 6–8 weeks postpartum (aOR = 7.72, 95% CI 1.71–34.80, P = 0.008), and stressful life events (aOR = 3.30, 95% CI 1.23–8.89, P = 0.018). Conclusion The study concluded that the prevalence of PPD in the Bawku municipality is higher than previously reported in Ghana, emphasizing the need for early identification of pregnant women at risk for PPD.","PeriodicalId":74405,"journal":{"name":"PCN reports : psychiatry and clinical neurosciences","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135304865","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}

Patients with this condition present higher brain dysfunction. Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy was reportedly an effective treatment for DNS in the acute phase. Favorable predictive factors affecting the prognosis of patients with DNS after HBO therapy include younger age and longer interictal periods. However, the relationship between these factors and neuroimaging findings remains unclear. Case Presentation The patient was a 59‐year‐old man with DNS, who developed major depressive disorder and attempted suicide with charcoal briquettes. He was diagnosed with carbon monoxide poisoning and underwent acute HBO therapy. After a 1‐month lucid period, the patient developed intermittent carbon monoxide poisoning with cognitive dysfunction, following which HBO therapy was re‐initiated. Following treatment, the patient returned to work for 10 years. Frontal lobe hypoperfusion, measured by single‐photon emission computed tomography and cognitive impairment, improved with HBO therapy. However, magnetic resonance imaging revealed brain volume atrophy over time. Conclusion This study reported a case of DNS that completely resolved within a 10‐year follow‐up period. Cerebral blood flow reduction, mainly in the frontal lobe, improved along with cognitive recovery during HBO therapy. Despite gradually progressive brain atrophy over the past decade, no noted deficits in cerebral blood flow were observed in the frontal lobes. These findings suggest that improvement in cerebral blood flow during HBO therapy and its retention may be factors associated with a favorable prognosis in patients with DNS.","PeriodicalId":74405,"journal":{"name":"PCN reports : psychiatry and clinical neurosciences","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135298461","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}

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the most disabling and common psychiatric disorders, persisting from childhood to adulthood. Individuals with ADHD are known to have many comorbid psychopathologies, making them candidates for psychotropic polypharmacy.1 In Japan, the approved psychotropic medications and the diagnosed disorders differ between pediatric and adult populations. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the utilization of multiple classes of psychotropics among patients undergoing ADHD pharmacotherapy, specifically targeting the adult population in Japan. A retrospective study was conducted using the National Database of Health Insurance Claims and Specific Health Checkups of Japan (NDB), which covered 99.9% of public health insurance claims from hospitals, 97.9% from clinics, and 99.9% from pharmacies as of May 2015. The sampling data set of outpatients consisted of 1% of all claims data that were randomly extracted based on standard demographic characteristics in terms of age and sex in Japan, and included anonymized data on diagnoses, prescribed medications, examinations conducted, age group, and sex. Since the sensitivity of diagnoses in the database is generally low,2, 3 this study focused on pharmacotherapy. Data on individuals aged 20 years and over prescribed any of three ADHD medications as of October 2019 were retrieved from the NDB. The number of psychotropic medications prescribed concurrently with ADHD medications—atomoxetine, guanfacine, and the osmotic-controlled-release oral delivery system methylphenidate—was identified. The drug classification, including antipsychotics, antidepressants, anxiolytics/hypnotics, and mood stabilizers, is shown in Supporting Information: Table S1. DB Browser for SQLite Version 3.12.2 for macOS (https://sqlitebrowser.org) was used for analysis. Less than half of individuals in their 20s and nearly 20% of those over age 30 were prescribed ADHD medications alone. Among patients in their 20s, anxiolytics/hypnotics, antidepressants, and antipsychotics were prescribed at similar rates, while among those aged 30 and above, antidepressants and anxiolytics/hypnotics were more frequently prescribed (Table 1). Based on these observations, two potential scenarios emerge. The first one is that ADHD medications were prescribed to those who meet the diagnostic criteria for ADHD. In this case, adults with ADHD might exhibit multiple psychiatric symptoms to require polypharmacy of psychiatric medications. The second scenario is that pharmacotherapy for ADHD was being administered to individuals who might not fully meet the ADHD diagnostic criteria, but who are experiencing specific symptoms, such as issues with attention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity.

The concept of “ aida ” or “betweenness,” which was in the social dimension in his earlier thought, came to be called “horizontal betweenness,” and the “vertical betweenness” in the vital dimension came to be emphasized. In relation to his time theory, the “intra festum,” which signifies the tendency to immerse oneself in the present, has come to be highlighted as a direct contact with life. He used many coupled concepts, such as “ mizukara / onozukara ” and “reality/actuality,” to contrast his life‐theoretical position with the scientific‐epistemological one. He was also heavily influenced by the ideas of Viktor von Weizsäcker, and superimposed his concept of “vertical betweenness” over Weizsäcker's concept of “ground relationship” by interpreting it as expressing the dependence of individual life ( bios ) on life in general ( zoé ). However, the strongest influences on his life theory were the ideas of Kitaro Nishida, the leading philosopher of the Kyoto School, with whom he had been familiar since his youth. In his last years, Kimura, under Nishida's influence, came to equate life in general with generalized death. Kimura's life philosophy might provide the foundation of psychotherapy by deepening subjective and empathetic understanding of psychiatric patients.","PeriodicalId":74405,"journal":{"name":"PCN reports : psychiatry and clinical neurosciences","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135484333","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}

Methods We conducted a cross‐sectional paper‐based questionnaire survey in Chiba University Hospital on 1019 patients and 513 attendants, and a web‐based questionnaire survey in Japan on 3981 individuals from the general population. We evaluated the participants' anxiety about COVID‐19, depression, health anxiety, and precautionary behaviors. Results Regarding knowledge and anxiety about COVID‐19, the protective factors for the high precautionary behaviors group were knowledge of COVID‐19 (odds ratio [OR] = 1.178, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.099–1.263), anxiety about the spread of COVID‐19 (OR = 1.348, 95% CI: 1.243–1.461), and anxiety about infecting someone with COVID‐19 (OR = 1.135, 95% CI: 1.039–0.239).

Leptomeningeal metastasis (LM), caused by the spread of malignant cells to the leptomeninges and the subarachnoid space, is a relatively unfamiliar condition to psychiatrists in this context. The diagnosis of LM remains challenging due to the scarcity of diagnostic tools possessing high sensitivity and specificity. Case Presentation We present the clinical presentation of a male in his seventies with LM secondary to gastric ring cell carcinoma. The patient exhibited an acute confusional state, visual hallucinations, irritability, and cognitive impairments over a 3‐week period. Initially, the patient was misdiagnosed with several conditions, including alcohol withdrawal syndrome, psychosis, and delirium associated with dementia, as there were no noteworthy findings on neurological examination or the head magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Given the rapidly progressive cognitive decline, we maintained vigilance for potential neurological conditions, and a repeat investigation using head MRI and cerebrospinal fluid analysis led to the diagnosis of LM. Conclusion This critical case report underscores the rarity of psychiatric‐onset LM originating from gastric cancer and highlights the importance of comprehensive neurological evaluations.","PeriodicalId":74405,"journal":{"name":"PCN reports : psychiatry and clinical neurosciences","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135298271","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}

Methods Healthy participants performed a modified monetary incentive delay task inside a functional magnetic resonance imaging scanner. To examine the effect of nonmonetary positive feedback, the participants performed feedback and no‐feedback trials. We explored brain regions whose neural responsiveness to nonmonetary rewards was predicted by hyperthymic temperament. Results There was premotor area activation in anticipation of a nonmonetary reward, which was negatively predicted by hyperthymic temperament. Moreover, brain areas located mainly in the primary somatosensory area and somatosensory association area were activated by performance feedback, which was positively predicted by hyperthymic temperament.
