Abstract
We established a framework for collecting radiation doses for head, chest and abdomen-pelvis computed tomography (CT) in children scanned at multiple imaging sites across Latin America with an aim towards establishing diagnostic reference levels (DRLs) and achievable doses (ADs) in pediatric CT in Latin America. Our study included 12 Latin American sites (in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Honduras and Panama) contributing data on the four most common pediatric CT examinations (non-contrast head, non-contrast chest, post-contrast chest and post-contrast abdomen-pelvis). Sites contributed data on patients' age, sex and weight, scan factors (tube current and potential), volume CT dose index (CTDIvol) and dose length product (DLP). Data were verified, leading to the exclusion of two sites with missing or incorrect data entries. We estimated overall and site-specific 50th (AD) and 75th (diagnostic reference level [DRL]) percentile CTDIvol and DLP for each CT protocol. Non-normal data were compared using the Kruskal-Wallis test. Sites contributed data from 3,934 children (1,834 females) for different CT exams (head CT 1,568/3,934, 40%; non-contrast chest CT 945/3,934, 24%; post-contrast chest CT 581/3,934, 15%; abdomen-pelvis CT 840/3,934, 21%). There were significant statistical differences in 50th and 75th percentile CTDIvol and DLP values across the participating sites (P<0.001). The 50th and 75th percentile doses for most CT protocols were substantially higher than the corresponding doses reported from the United States of America. Our study demonstrates substantial disparities and variations in pediatric CT examinations performed in multiple sites in Latin America. We will use the collected data to improve scan protocols and perform a follow-up CT study to establish DRLs and ADs based on clinical indications.

Abstract
Two samples of spent tire rubber (rubber A and rubber B) were submitted to thermochemical conversion by pyrolysis process. A450, B450 and A900, B900 chars were obtained from rubber A and rubber B at 450 °C and 900 °C, respectively. The chars were then applied as recovery agents of Nd3+ and Dy3+ from aqueous solutions in mono and bicomponent solutions, and their performance was benchmarked with a commercial activated carbon. The chars obtained at 900 °C were the most efficient adsorbents for both elements with uptake capacities around 30 mg g-1. The chars obtained at 450 °C presented uptake capacities similar to the commercial carbon (≈ 11 mg g-1). A900 and B900 chars presented a higher availability of Zn ions that favored the ion exchange mechanism. It was found that Nd3+ and Dy3+ were adsorbed as oxides after Zn was released from silicate structures (Zn2SiO4). A900 char was further selected to be tested with Nd/Dy binary mixtures and it was found a trend to adsorb a slightly higher amount of Dy3+ due to its smaller ionic radius. The uptake capacity in bicomponent solutions was generally higher than for single component solutions due to the higher driving force triggered by the higher concentration gradient.

Abstract
PURPOSE Celiac Disease (CD) presents a wide variety of clinical signs and symptoms, including oral manifestations. This study pretended to characterize Oral Health-Related Quality of Life (OHRQoL) and reported oral manifestations in children with CD. METHODS Target-population were children with CD. An online questionnaire, applied to children's parents, collected information about OHRQoL (using the Early Childhood Oral Health Impact Scale-ECOHIS), oral health behaviours, and history of oral manifestations. Data analysis included descriptive statistics, Mann-Whitney, Kruskall-Wallis, and Spearman correlation tests (α = 0.05). RESULTS The sample included 146 celiac patients, with a mean age of 10.5 years (sd = 4.1). Mean ECOHIS score was 5.2 (sd = 6.8). The most frequently reported oral manifestations were recurrent aphthous stomatitis (46.6%), dental caries (45.2%) and dental opacity (39%). About one third of the participants mentioned improvements in oral health when a gluten-free diet was introduced. Most of the reported oral manifestations had a significant association with the ECOHIS score (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS The OHRQoL of children was good, however oral manifestations had a negative impact on OHRQoL. The most reported oral manifestations were recurrent aphthous stomatitis, dental caries, and dental opacities. Oral health professionals must be aware about the heterogeneity of the disease, to recognize oral manifestations associated and their importance in the early diagnosis to reduce complications and to an improvement in the OHRQoL of these patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tobacco is a highly prevalent substance of abuse in patients with psychosis. Previous studies have reported an association between tobacco use and schizophrenia. The aim of this study was to analyze the relationship between tobacco use and first-episode psychosis (FEP), age at onset of psychosis, and specific diagnosis of psychosis. METHODS The sample consisted of 1105 FEP patients and 1355 controls from the European Network of National Schizophrenia Networks Studying Gene-Environment Interactions (EU-GEI) study. We assessed substance use with the Tobacco and Alcohol Questionnaire and performed a series of regression analyses using case-control status, age of onset of psychosis, and diagnosis as outcomes and tobacco use and frequency of tobacco use as predictors. Analyses were adjusted for sociodemographic characteristics, alcohol, and cannabis use. RESULTS After controlling for cannabis use, FEP patients were 2.6 times more likely to use tobacco [p ⩽ 0.001; adjusted odds ratio (AOR) 2.6; 95% confidence interval (CI) [2.1-3.2]] and 1.7 times more likely to smoke 20 or more cigarettes a day (p = 0.003; AOR 1.7; 95% CI [1.2-2.4]) than controls. Tobacco use was associated with an earlier age at psychosis onset (β = -2.3; p ⩽ 0.001; 95% CI [-3.7 to -0.9]) and was 1.3 times more frequent in FEP patients with a diagnosis of schizophrenia than in other diagnoses of psychosis (AOR 1.3; 95% CI [1.0-1.8]); however, these results were no longer significant after controlling for cannabis use. CONCLUSIONS Tobacco and heavy-tobacco use are associated with increased odds of FEP. These findings further support the relevance of tobacco prevention in young populations.

Abstract
Introduction Les infections à coronavirus du syndrome respiratoire aigu sévère 2 (SRAS-CoV-2) peuvent provoquer une inflammation sévère et déclencher des manifestations auto-immunes. Plusieurs rapports de cas chez des adultes ont décrit la production d’autoanticorps et manifestations musculosquelettiques (MMS) après une infection par le SRAS-CoV-2 (chez environ 27 %), mais les informations chez les enfants sont rares. Objectif Décrire les MMS, après infection par le SRAS-CoV-2, dans une population pédiatrique sans maladie rhumatismale (MR) connue antérieurement adressée à unité de rhumatologie pédiatrique. Patients et méthodes Les dossiers cliniques de tous les nouveaux patients en rhumatologie pédiatrique (RP), entre avril 2020 et août 2022, présentant MMS et/ou résultats sérologiques liés à des MR après une infection par le SRAS-CoV-2, ont été examinés. Les patients avec des antécédents de MR connus ont été exclus. Résultats Pendant la période d’études, 325 nouveaux patients ont été référés à unité de RP, dont 20 (6,2 %) présentaient MMS et/ou résultats sérologiques liés à des MR après infection. Sur les 20 patients (60 % femmes), l’âge moyen au moment du diagnostic d’infection était de 12,6 ± 4,2 [2–17] ans et le délai moyen pour les MMS ou sérologiques après l’infection était de 21,6 ± 10,8 [9–49] jours. Tous les patients avaient une infection asymptomatique ou légère. Après infection, les principaux MMS étaient : arthralgies (12/20, 60 %), myalgies (8/20, 40 %) et acrocyanose (5/20, 25 %). Les MR les plus fréquemment identifiés étaient : myosite (3/20, 15 %), maladies du tissu conjonctif (3/20, 15 %), perniose (3/20, 15 %) et douleurs musculosquelettiques non spécifiques (DMNS : 5/20, 25 %). Un garçon de 12 ans a eu deux infections enregistrées par le SRAS-CoV-2 avec différentes manifestations cliniques : suite à la première infection, il a développé une DMNS et six mois plus tard, après la seconde, il a présenté une arthrite qui a ensuite été diagnostiquée comme une arthrite juvénile idiopathique. 2 patients (0,6 %) ont été référés en raison de résultats sérologiques positifs (un avec ANCA-PR3 et un avec anticoagulant lupique), malgré l’absence de manifestations cliniques évocatrices de MR. Cinq patients (25 %) ont été hospitalisés en raison de la gravité du MR : 2 lupus érythémateux disséminés (10 %) et 3 myositis (15 %), 3 ont nécessité injections d’immunoglobuline et méthylprednisolone. Au cours du suivi, les patients atteints de MR inflammatoire ont été majoritairement traités par prednisolone orale (n = 6), hydroxychloroquine (n = 3) et anti-inflammatoire oral (n = 3). Les autres avaient des symptômes contrôlés par la physiothérapie (n = 4), myorelaxant (n = 4) ou traitement topique (n = 2). Après un suivi moyen de 8,9 ± 6,0 [1–20] mois, tous les patients ont présenté une évolution favorable : 16 (80 %) avaient une maladie contrôlée et 4 (20 %) avaient une rémission complète. Discussion À notre connaissance, il s’agit de l’une des rares études analysant l’atteinte MMS induite par SRAS-CoV-2 dans une population pédiatrique. Dans notre cohorte, les MMS étaient peu fréquents (6,2 %), par rapport aux adultes, et les plus fréquents étaient myositis, maladies du tissu conjonctif, perniose et DMNS. Toutes ont été identifiées, traitées et 20 % ont atteint une rémission complète. Conclusion Les MMS induites par SRAS-CoV-2 dans la population pédiatrique de notre unité étaient rares et présentaient un large spectre de gravité, allant de légères à potentiellement mortelles.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Crusade score (CS) quantifies intrahospital major bleeding (IHMB) risk in patients admitted with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Hemorrhagic risk after ACS increases with age, although, it's not considered in score estimation.
Purpose
Evaluate CS ability to predict IHBM risk according to different patient ages (higher or lower than 75 years) admitted with ACS diagnosis and submitted to double antiagreggation therapy with acetylsalicylic acid and Clopidogrel.
Methods
A retrospective study based on the Portuguese National Registry of ACS, including patients (pts) hospitalized with ACS and treated with double antiagreggation therapy with acetylsalicylic acid (AAS) and clopidogrel between October 2010 and January 2021 (n=8401). Were excluded patients submitted to coronary artery bypass grafting, with ticagrelor or prasugrel switch to clopidogrel during hospitalization.
Patients were divided into two groups according to their age (above or below 75 years) and then subdivided in 5 groups according to CS category of IHBM risk estimation: very low (CS ≤20, 3,1% risk predicted by the score), low (21 ≤ CS≤30, 5,5%), moderate (31 ≤ CS≤40, 8,6%), high (41 ≤ CS≤50, 11,9%) and very high risk (CS≥51, 19,5%). Then, the incidence of IHMB observed in each group during hospitalization (mean 5 days) was compared to the IHBM risk predicted by the CS.
Results
The IHMB rate was 1.78%, significantly lower than predicted by the Crusade score (7.1%, p<0.001). Bleeding rates in each group of patients (above or below 75 years and according to CS calculation are depicted in Figure 1. CS revealed more power to predict IHMB in the prespecified group of patients older than 75 years, than in the group of patients younger than 75 years (see Figure 2).
Conclusion
As shown in different literature, crusade score overestimate bleeding risk after ACS compared to real-life cohorts. Despite the same trend observed in our cohort of patients, in this retrospective study, CS revealed more power to predict IHMB in the prespecified group of patients older than 75 years, than in the group of patients younger than 75 years in patients submitted to double antiaggregation with AAS and clopidogrel.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
It is known that low diastolic blood pressure (DBP) at admission is associated with short-term cardiovascular events after acute coronary syndrome (ACS). However, there is a lack of further investigation into the nonlinear relationship between admission diastolic blood pressure (DBP) and adverse outcomes of ACS patients.
Objective
To investigate the relationship between admission diastolic blood pressure and subsequent cardiovascular mortality in patients with acute coronary syndrome.
Methods
Retrospective study of patients with ACS periodically included in our center registry between October/2012 and September/2018. Patients with class killip 4 at admission or that needed ionotropic support during hospitalization were excluded. The association between admission DBP and cardiovascular mortality during the follow-up period among this population was analyzed using multivariate COX regression model. Results were presented according to DBP quartiles: Q1, less than 70 mm Hg; Q2, from 71 to 80 mm Hg; Q3, from 81 to 90 mm Hg; Q4, above 90 mmHg.
Results
A total of 548 patients were included in this cohort study. Mean patient age was 65.9±13.1 years and 75.2% were men. A nonlinear relation was observed between DBP at admission and cardiovascular mortality over the follow-up.
During a median follow-up of 42 months (IQR: 27–59), 47 patients (8.6%) died from cardiovascular causes. After adjusting for potential confounders (age and diabetes mellitus), patients in Q3 had the lowest risk for cardiovascular death by Cox proportional hazard model (HR 0.44; 95% CI: 0.16–1.00). Meanwhile, compared with Q1, Q3 patients had significantly lower risk for cardiovascular death (HR 0.35, 95% CI: 0.13–0.92).
Conclusion
Among patients admitted for ACS, there is a U curve relationship between admission DBP and risk for cardiovascular death. These results could be explained by a reduction in diastolic coronary blood flow which influences myocardial oxygen supply relative to the necessary demand in an ACS.

Abstract
PURPOSE Study toothbrushing behaviours and associated factors in a Portuguese preschool population. METHODS The study population was the parents of children attending Portuguese kindergartens. The data on sociodemographic and toothbrushing behaviours, at home and at school, were collected by an online questionnaire. The data analysis was performed using Chi-square, Fisher, Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis tests (α = 0.05). RESULTS The sample included 711 parents. Most of the children brushed their teeth at home at least twice-a-day (65.3%), with the help of an adult (62.9%). The majority of the children did not brush their teeth at school (71.2%); however, only 9.9% of the parents reported that they don't/wouldn't authorise it. Considering both toothbrushing, at home and at school, 75% of the children brushed their teeth twice-a-day. However, only 7.8% of the children performed all the correct toothbrushing related procedures. Toothbrushing at school was more frequent in private kindergartens (p < 0.001). A higher level of education was associated with non-authorisation of toothbrushing at school (p = 0.019) and with performing the correct toothbrushing related procedures (p = 0.007). Attending an oral health professional appointment was also associated with performing the correct toothbrushing related procedures (p = 0.005). CONCLUSION Toothbrushing twice-a-day was frequent in the studied population, however, the percentage of children who brushed at school was low, as well as the percentage of children who performed all the correct toothbrushing related procedures. Toothbrushing at school was more likely in private kindergartens. Performing correct toothbrushing related procedures was more frequent in children who had a previous oral health appointment and whose parents had a higher education level.

Abstract
We assessed variations in chest CT usage, radiation dose and image quality in COVID-19 pneumonia. Our study included all chest CT exams performed in 533 patients from 6 healthcare sites from Brazil. We recorded patients' age, gender and body weight and the information number of CT exams per patient, scan parameters and radiation doses (volume CT dose index-CTDIvol and dose length product-DLP). Six radiologists assessed all chest CT exams for the type of pulmonary findings and classified CT appearance of COVID-19 pneumonia as typical, indeterminate, atypical or negative. In addition, each CT was assessed for diagnostic quality (optimal or suboptimal) and presence of artefacts. Artefacts were frequent (367/841), often related to respiratory motion (344/367 chest CT exams with artefacts) and resulted in suboptimal evaluation in mid-to-lower lungs (176/344) or the entire lung (31/344). There were substantial differences in CT usage, patient weight, CTDIvol and DLP across the participating sites.

Abstract
Little is known about the pathophysiological mechanisms of relapse in first-episode schizophrenia, which limits the study of potential biomarkers. To explore relapse mechanisms and identify potential biomarkers for relapse prediction, we analyzed gene expression in peripheral blood in a cohort of first-episode schizophrenia patients with less than 5 years of evolution who had been evaluated over a 3-year follow-up period. A total of 91 participants of the 2EPs project formed the sample for baseline gene expression analysis. Of these, 67 provided biological samples at follow-up (36 after 3 years and 31 at relapse). Gene expression was assessed using the Clariom S Human Array. Weighted gene co-expression network analysis was applied to identify modules of co-expressed genes and to analyze their preservation after 3 years of follow-up or at relapse. Among the 25 modules identified, one module was semi-conserved at relapse (DarkTurquoise) and was enriched with risk genes for schizophrenia, showing a dysregulation of the TCF4 gene network in the module. Two modules were semi-conserved both at relapse and after 3 years of follow-up (DarkRed and DarkGrey) and were found to be biologically associated with protein modification and protein location processes. Higher expression of DarkRed genes was associated with higher risk of suffering a relapse and early appearance of relapse (p = 0.045). Our findings suggest that a dysregulation of the TCF4 network could be an important step in the biological process that leads to relapse and suggest that genes related to the ubiquitin proteosome system could be potential biomarkers of relapse.

Abstract
Candida parapsilosis is an emerging opportunistic pathogen present in both clinical and natural environment, with a strong frequency of biofilm forming strains. While the drugs active against biofilm are rare, liposomal amphotericin B is credited with an antibiofilm activity in some opportunistic species of the genus Candida. Using freshly isolated strains from hospital environment, in this paper we could show the prevalence of biofilm forming vs. nonbiofilm forming strains. The former displayed a large variability in terms of biofilm biomass and metabolic activity. Liposomal amphotericin B minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of planktonic cells was below the breakpoint, whereas the sessile cells MIC (SMIC) was 1 or 2 orders of magnitude above the planktonic MIC. When the drug was applied to freshly attached cells, that is, biofilm in formation, the MIC (called SDMIC) was even below the MIC value. All resistance metrics (MIC, SMIC, and SDMIC) were quite variable although no correlation could be detected between them and the metrics used to quantify biofilm activity and biomass production. These findings demonstrate that young biofilm cells are even more susceptible than planktonic cells and that early treatments with this drug can be beneficial in cases of prosthesis implantation or especially when there is the necessity of a CVC reimplantation during a sepsis.

Abstract
Introduction Social cognition has been associated with functional outcome in patients with first episode psychosis (FEP). Social cognition has also been associated with neurocognition and cognitive reserve. Although cognitive reserve, neurocognitive functioning, social cognition, and functional outcome are related, the direction of their associations is not clear. Objectives The aim of the study was to analyze the influence of social cognition as a mediator between cognitive reserve and cognitive domains on functioning in FEP both at baseline and at 2 years. Methods The sample of the study was composed of 282 FEP patients followed up for 2 years. To analyze whether social cognition mediates the influence of cognitive reserve and cognitive domains on functioning, a path analysis was performed. The statistical significance of any mediation effects was evaluated by bootstrap analysis. Results At baseline, as neither cognitive reserve nor the cognitive domains studied were related to functioning, the conditions for mediation were not satisfied. Nevertheless, at 2 years of follow-up, social cognition acted as a mediator between cognitive reserve and functioning. Likewise, social cognition was a mediator between verbal memory and functional outcome. The results of the bootstrap analysis confirmed these significant mediations (95% bootstrapped CI (−10.215 to −0.337) and (−4.731 to −0.605) respectively). Conclusions Cognitive reserve and neurocognition are related to functioning, and social cognition mediates in this relationship.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The role of Olanzapine therapeutic drug monitoring is controversial. The present study explores the associations of Olanzapine plasma concentrations with clinical response and metabolic side effects in first episode psychosis (FEP) after 2 months of treatment. METHODS Forty-seven patients were included. Improvement in clinical symptomatology was assessed using the PANSS. Metabolic assessment included weight, blood pressure, waist circumference, blood glucose, total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein, low-density lipoprotein, and triglycerides. RESULTS The Olanzapine plasma concentrations after 2 months of treatment were positively correlated with weight gain (r = 0.49, p = 0.003), and a concentration > 23.28 ng/mL was identified as a positive predictor of weight gain (≥ 7%). The Olanzapine concentration to dose (C/D) ratio was positively correlated with the percentage of improvement in the total PANSS (r = 0.46, p = 0.004), and a C/D ratio > 2.12 was identified as a positive predictor of a good response (percentage of improvement > 30%) after 2 months of treatment. We also identified several factors that could alter Olanzapine pharmacokinetics: gender (p = 0.03), diagnosis (p = 0.05), smoking habit (p = 0.05), and co-medications such as valproic acid (p = 0.05) and anxiolytics (p = 0.01). DISCUSSION In conclusion, our results suggest that therapeutic drug monitoring of Olanzapine could be helpful to evaluate therapeutic efficacy and metabolic dysfunction in FEP patients treated with Olanzapine.

Abstract
Background The Oral Health-related Quality of Life (OHRQoL) is an essential part of health and wellbeing that aims to assess the impact of oral health on aspects of personal and social life. This investigation aimed to study the OHRQoL in undergraduate students and relate it to sociodemographic, academic behaviours, oral health behaviours, the presence of oral problems and self-perception of oral health.
Material and Methods The study target-population consisted of the undergraduate students attending the University of Lisbon (UL). Data collection was carried out through an online questionnaire which included self-reported sociodemographic and academic characteristics, behaviours and oral health status, and the Oral Health Impact Profile-14 (OHIP-14). Descriptive statistics were performed, and the Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis tests were used (α=0.05).
Results The sample included 933 students, aged between 18 and 48 years old (mean=21.22 / SD=3.11). The global mean value of OHIP-14 was 5.98 (SD=6.71) and 89.8% of the students presented OHIP-14 values between 0 and 14. Psychological discomfort and physical pain were the dimensions of OHIP-14 with the greatest impact on OHRQoL. Most of the students brushed their teeth twice a day (79.7%) with fluoridated toothpaste (90.8%) and perceived their oral health as “good” (56.3%). Several aspects were significantly related (p<0.05) to a worse OHRQoL, namely, being of African origin, courses not related to health, changes for worse in oral hygiene habits after entering university, higher consumption frequency of cariogenic foods or, going to oral health appointments in urgent situations, not having oral health appointments for economic reasons, history of oral health problems, self-reported oral problems and negative self-perception of oral health status.
Conclusions Most UL students had a good OHRQoL, adequate oral health behaviours and a good self-reported state of oral health. Key words:Oral health-related quality of life, OHIP-14, Oral health behaviours, Self-reported oral health, University students.

Abstract
UNLABELLED There has been growing scientific evidence in recent years that schizophrenia and bipolar disorder share clinical, cognitive, neuroimaging and genetic characteristics. This overlap might also be present in their offspring, who have an increased risk of developing both disorders. Comparing the characteristics of these samples may have important implications for understanding etiological processes. This study aimed to assess the development of cognitive functions over two years in a sample of child and adolescent offspring of patients diagnosed with schizophrenia (SZoff) or bipolar disorder (BDoff), comparing them with a community control group (CCoff). METHODS 90 BDoff, 41 SZoff and 107 CCoff aged between 6 and 17 years were included at baseline. At the two-year follow-up, 84.9% of the sample was re-assessed (78 BDoff, 32 SZoff and 92 CCoff). All subjects were assessed with a comprehensive neuropsychological test battery at baseline and at the two-year follow-up to evaluate: intelligence quotient, working memory, processing speed, verbal memory and learning, visual memory, executive functions and sustained attention. RESULTS Processing speed, verbal memory and executive functions showed different developmental patterns among the SZoff, BDoff and CCoff groups. The SZoff group maintained baseline performances in the three variables over time, while the BDoff group presented improved processing speed and executive functioning and the CCoff group showed improvements in verbal memory and executive functions at follow-up. CONCLUSIONS These findings suggest that the development of some cognitive functions might differ between child and adolescent SZoff and BDoff, indicating different trajectories during neurodevelopment.

Abstract
AIMS Here, we present a clustering strategy to identify phenotypes of antipsychotic (AP) response by using longitudinal data from patients presenting first-episode psychosis (FEP). METHOD One hundred and ninety FEP with complete data were selected from the PEPs project. The efficacy was assessed using total PANSS, and adverse effects using total UKU, during one-year follow-up. We used the Klm3D method to cluster longitudinal data. RESULTS We identified four clusters: cluster A, drug not toxic and beneficial; cluster B, drug beneficial but toxic; cluster C, drug neither toxic nor beneficial; and cluster D, drug toxic and not beneficial. These groups significantly differ in baseline demographics, clinical, and neuropsychological characteristics (PAS, total PANSS, DUP, insight, pIQ, age of onset, cocaine use and family history of mental illness). CONCLUSIONS The results presented here allow the identification of phenotypes of AP response that differ in well-known simple and classic clinical variables opening the door to clinical prediction and application of personalized medicine.

Abstract
IntroductionNon-adherence influences schizophrenia prognosis.ObjectivesTo describe the clinical profiles, modifications of the therapeutic strategies and relapse rate of patients with schizophrenia who are at risk of non-adherence to oral antipsychotic (AP) medication.MethodsA cohort of 597 outpatients whose therapy was modified because of risk of non-adherence to oral AP was followed during 12 months. Authors used Cox regression to analyse the time to relapse.ResultsPatients’ mean (SD) age was 40.1 (11.1) and time since diagnosis was 15.2 (10.0) years; 64% were males. The clinical condition was at least moderate in most patients (CGI-S score ≥4 in 87%). Baseline AP medication was modified in 506 (85%) patients and non-pharmacological therapies in 190 (32%). In both cases, the main reason for modifications was insufficient efficacy. Concomitant medications were modified in 15%. The proportion of patients in AP monotherapy decreased in favour of polytherapy, and 15% started depot formulations.During 12 months, 90 patients (15%) relapsed. Among relapsing patients, the proportion on monotherapy decreased to 42%, and the depot prescriptions rose to 28%. The risk of relapse was greater among patients with substance use disorder or familial psychiatric antecedents and lower in patients with poor attitude to AP medication or undergoing modifications of their non-pharmacological therapy at baseline.ConclusionsNon-adherence management was focused on improving efficacy and consisted mainly of modifications of oral AP medication. The recognition and treatment, not necessarily pharmacological, of patients with a poor attitude to medication at baseline might explain their lower risk of relapse.

Abstract
IntroductionThe assessment and management of psychomotor agitation may result in the use of coercive or sedative treatments. In the absence of conclusive evidence, the consensus of experts can guide clinical decisions.ObjectivesTo seek consensus recommendations on the assessment and management of psychomotor agitation.MethodsAn international expert task force in this field developed consensus using the Delphi method. Twenty-seven experts were invited to participate and 91% of them agreed. Initial survey items were gathered from the content of literature search (systematic review). This included open-ended questions inviting participants to add suggestions by e-mail correspondence. After this initial first round, the Delphi study was conducted online using Google Forms. Survey items were rated on a 5-point scale. Items rated by at least 80% of experts as essential or important were included. Items rated as essential or important by 65–79% of experts were included in the next survey for re-rating. Items with consensus below to 65% were rejected and excluded.ResultsThe initial survey included 52 items. The second web-based survey included 33 items. The briefer third survey consisted of 6 items that needed rerating. Twenty-two of the initial 33 items were endorsed and formed the clinical recommendations on the assessment and management of the psychomotor agitation. The endorsed items were categorized into 5 domains forming the clinical recommendations.ConclusionsThe panel expert generated 22 recommendations on the assessment and management of agitation. The Delphi method is a suitable formal iterative process for reaching consensus on relevant and controversial issues.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

Abstract
AbstractObjectiveA functional polymorphism of the brain-derived neurotrophic factor gene (BDNF) Val66Met has been associated with cognitive function and symptom severity in patients with schizophrenia. It has been suggested that the Val66Met polymorphism has a role as a modulator in a range of clinical features of the illness, including symptoms severity, therapeutic responsiveness, age of onset, brain morphology and cognitive function. However, little work has been done in first-episode schizophrenia (FES) spectrum disorders. The objective of this study is to investigate the association of the BDNF Val66Met polymorphism on cognitive function and clinical symptomatology in FES patients.MethodsUsing a cross-sectional design in a cohort of 204 patients with FES or a schizophrenia spectrum disorder and 204 healthy matched controls, we performed BDNF Val66Met genotyping and tested its relationship with cognitive testing (attention, working memory, learning/verbal memory and reasoning/problem-solving) and assessment of clinical symptom severity.ResultsThere was no significant influence of the BDNF allele frequency on cognitive factor scores in either patients or controls. An augmented severity of negative symptoms was found in FES patients that carried the Met allele.ConclusionsThe results of this study suggest that in patients with a first-episode of schizophrenia or a schizophrenia spectrum disorder, the BDNF Val66Met polymorphism does not exert an influence on cognitive functioning, but is associated with negative symptoms severity. BDNF may serve as suitable marker of negative symptomatology severity in FES patients within the schizophrenia spectrum.

Abstract
A precise description of the inflammatory response in first-episode psychosis (FEP) by age of onset does not exist. We explored baseline and 6-month follow-up differences in the pro/anti-inflammatory balance in plasma and peripheral blood mononuclear cells in adolescent-onset FEP (≤ 18 y.o., N = 27) and adult-onset FEP (≥ 25 y.o., N = 43) using non-parametric 1-category ANCOVA, with age group as an independent variable and values of pro- and anti-inflammatory markers at baseline and at follow-up as dependent variables. We used a non-parametric repeated-measures mixed-effects model to explore the baseline/6-month change in pro- and anti-inflammatory markers within adolescent- and adult-onset groups, exploring differential trajectories of change by means of the interaction of time by age-of-onset group. Levels of the nuclear transcription factor (NFκB), a master regulator of the inflammatory and oxido/nitrosative status of cells, were higher in adolescent-onset FEP both at baseline and after 6 months. During follow-up, we found further increases in levels of soluble inflammatory markers (PGE2 and NO2-) only in adolescent-onset FEP. In contrast, in adult-onset FEP, the expression of inducible NO synthase (iNOS), which is also pro-inflammatory, tended to decrease, with no further increase in other pro-inflammatory markers. Significant differences in the direction of change by age-of-onset cohort exist only for NFκB (F = 4.165, df = 2, 70.95, p = 0.019). Our results support the existence of changes in the pro/anti-inflammatory balance in FEP depending on the neurodevelopmental stage at illness onset. These results also suggest that inflammation may be a potential therapeutic target in adolescent-onset FEP.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Cognitive reserve (CR) refers to the brain's capacity to cope with pathology in order to minimize the symptoms. CR is associated with different outcomes in severe mental illness. This study aimed to analyze the impact of CR according to the diagnosis of first-episode affective or non-affective psychosis (FEP). METHOD A total of 247 FEP patients (211 non-affective and 36 affective) and 205 healthy controls were enrolled. To assess CR, common proxies have been integrated (premorbid IQ; education-occupation; leisure activities). The groups were divided into high and low CR. RESULTS In non-affective patients, those with high CR were older, had higher socioeconomic status (SES), shorter duration of untreated psychosis, and a later age of onset. They also showed greater performance in most cognitive domains. In affective patients, those with a greater CR showed a higher SES, better functioning, and greater verbal memory performance. CONCLUSION CR plays a differential role in the outcome of psychoses according to the diagnosis. Specifically, in order to address the needs of non-affective patients with low CR, cognitive rehabilitation treatments will need to be 'enriched' by adding pro-cognitive pharmacological agents or using more sophisticated approaches. However, a functional remediation therapy may be of choice for those with an affective psychosis and low CR.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The rise in carbapenem resistance among Gram-negative bacteria has renewed interest in colistin. Recently, the EUCAST-CLSI Polymyxin Breakpoints Working Group declared that broth microdilution (BMD) is the only valid method for colistin susceptibility testing. BMD is not easily incorporated into the routine work of clinical laboratories, and usually this test is incorporated serially, resulting in delayed susceptibility reporting. We tested a strategy of combining VITEK® 2 with a 2 μg/mL colistin agar dilution (VITEK® 2/AD) screening plate to improve performance and time to reporting of colistin susceptibility. METHODS Colistin susceptibility for 364 clinical isolates was determined by VITEK® 2/AD and compared with the reference standard BMD according to the ISO 20776-1:2007 and CLSI guidelines. The EUCAST colistin susceptibility breakpoint of ≤2 μg/mL was used. Escherichia coli NCTC 13846 served as quality control strain. Agreement, very major error (VME) and major error rates were determined using ISO 20776-2:2007. RESULTS The VME rate for VITEK® 2 alone was 30.6% (15/49, 95% CI 18.3-45.4%), and was reduced to 10.2% (5/49, 95% CI 3.4-22.2%) using the VITEK® 2/AD combined testing. The combined testing had categorical agreement with BMD of 97% (354/364, 95% CI 95.0-98.7%), and a major error (ME) rate of 1.6% (5/315, 95% CI 0.5-3.7%). Using the combined testing, even against challenging strains, 349 (95.8%, 95% CI 93.3-97.7%) colistin susceptibility results could be reported, and only 15 isolates required further analysis by BMD. DISCUSSION Our method is simple to apply and allows rapid reporting of colistin susceptibility.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to assess (1) whether there were clinical, neuropsychological and functional differences between and within affective and non-affective psychoses at baseline and two years-follow-up and (2) to explore clinical and neuropsychological predictors of psychosocial functioning in the whole sample. METHOD This is a subanalysis from a multicentre, naturalistic, longitudinal prospective study ('Phenotype-genotype and environmental interaction. Application of a predictive model in first psychotic episodes'). The sample consisted of 192 patients with a first psychotic episode (FEP): 142 with non-affective psychoses and 50 with affective psychoses. Student t-tests, paired t-tests, Pearson correlations, ANOVAs and regression analyses were performed. RESULTS At baseline, the groups differed in perseverative errors (WCST), Premorbid Adjustment Scale (PAS), family history of psychiatric disorder, negative (PANSS) and manic symptoms (YMRS). At two years follow-up, the groups differed in all the PANSS subscales and in depressive symptoms assessed by the MADRS. When the whole sample was considered, the regression model which best explained the estimated variance in functioning at follow-up (41%) was composed by PANSS total score and verbal fluency assessed by the FAS (COWAT). CONCLUSIONS We found clinical and neurocognitive differences at baseline which decreased in the follow-up. Reduced performances at baseline in executive functions in combination with symptom severity (PANSS) were predictors of FEP patients' poor functional outcome.

Abstract
Individual changes over time in cognition in patients with psychotic disorders have been studied very little, especially in the case of first episode psychosis (FEP). We aimed to establish whether change in individual trajectories in cognition over 2 years of a sample of 159 FEP patients was reliable and clinically significant, using the reliable change index (RCI) and clinically significant change (CSC) methods. We also studied a sample of 151 matched healthy controls. Patients and controls were assessed with a set of neuropsychological tests, as well as premorbid, clinical and functionality measures. We analysed the course of cognitive measures over time, using analysis of variance, and the individual trajectories in the cognitive measures with the regression-based RCI (RCISRB) and the CSC. The RCISRB showed that between 5.4 and 31.2% of the patients showed deterioration patterns, and between 0.6 and 8.8% showed improvement patterns in these tests over time. Patients showing better cognitive profiles according to RCISRB (worsening in zero to two cognitive measures) showed better premorbid, clinical and functional profiles than patients showing deterioration patterns in more than three tests. When combining RCISRB and CSC values, we found that less than 10% of patients showed improvement or deterioration patterns in executive function and attention measures. These results support the view that cognitive impairments are stable over the first 2 years of illness, but also that the analysis of individual trajectories could help to identify a subgroup of patients with particular phenotypes, who may require specific interventions.

Abstract
Blends of rice waste streams were submitted to co-gasification assays. The resulting chars (G1C and G2C) were characterized and used in Cr(III) removal assays from a synthetic solution. A Commercial Activated Carbon (CAC) was used for comparison purposes. The chars were non-porous materials mainly composed by ashes (68.3-92.6% w/w). The influences of adsorbent loading (solid/liquid ratio - S/L) and initial pH in Cr(III) removal were tested. G2C at a S/L of 5 mg L-1 and an initial pH of 4.50 presented an uptake capacity significantly higher than CAC (7.29 and 2.59 mg g-1, respectively). G2C was used in Cr(III) removal assays from an industrial wastewater with Cr(III) concentrations of 50, 100 and 200 mg L-1. Cr(III) removal by precipitation (uptake capacity ranging from 11.1 to 14.9 mg g-1) was more effective in G2C, while adsorption (uptake capacity of 16.1 mg g-1) was the main removal mechanism in CAC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We investigated whether negative symptoms, such as poor motivation or anhedonia, were associated with higher body mass index (BMI) in stable patients with schizophrenia chronically treated with antipsychotic medication. METHODS 62 olanzapine- or clozapine-treated patients with illness duration of at least four years were selected from an international multicenter study on the characterization of negative symptoms. All participants completed the Brief Negative Symptom Scale (BNSS) and the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS). Bivariate correlations between BMI and negative symptoms (BNSS) were explored, as well as multiple regression analyses. We further explored the association of two principal component factors of the BNSS and BMI. Subsidiary analyses re-modeled the above using the negative symptoms subscale of the PANSS and the EMSLEY factor for negative symptoms for convergent validity. RESULTS Lower negative symptoms (BNSS score) were associated with higher BMI (r=-0.31; p=0.015). A multiple regression analysis showed that negative symptoms (BNSS score) and age were significant predictors of BMI (p=0.037). This was mostly driven by the motivation/pleasure factor of the BNSS. Within this second factor, BMI was negatively associated with anhedonia (r=-0.254; p=0.046) and asociality (r=-0.253; p=0.048), but not avolition (r=-0.169; p=0.188). EMSLEY score was positively associated with BNSS (r=0.873, p<0.001), but negatively associated with BMI (r=-0.308; p=0.015). The association between PANSS and BMI did not reach significance (r=-224, p=0.080). CONCLUSIONS We conclude that lower negative symptoms were associated with higher BMI (assessed using both the BNSS and EMSLEY) in chronic stable schizophrenia patients, mostly due to lower anhedonia and asociality levels.

Abstract
Purpose Congenital ocular motor apraxia is a rare disease characterized by defective or absent voluntary and optically induced horizontal saccadic movements. Jerky head movements or thrusts on attempted lateral gaze are a compensatory sign. Most affected children have delayed motor and speech development. Cases associated with systemic diseases, neurologic maldevelopment, metabolic deficits, and chromosomal abnormalities have been described. Methods Case report and review of the scientific literature. Results The authors describe the ophthalmologic, pediatric, and neurologic evaluations and follow-up of a child with impaired horizontal saccades, jerky head movements, and delayed motor and speech development. Conclusions Congenital ocular motor apraxia is an uncommon disorder of ocular motility. Even so, ophthalmologists should be aware of the developmental delay and the other associated conditions, in order to grant the patients the multidisciplinary assistance they often require.

Rice straw (RS), rice husk (RH) and polyethylene (PE) were blended and submitted to gasification and pyrolysis processes. The chars obtained were submitted to textural, chemical, and ecotoxic characterisations, towards their possible valorisation. Gasification chars were mainly composed of ashes (73.4-89.8wt%), while pyrolysis chars were mainly composed of carbon (53.0-57.6wt%). Silicon (Si) was the major mineral element in all chars followed by alkaline and alkaline-earth metal species (AAEMs). In the pyrolysis chars, titanium (Ti) was also a major element, as the feedstock blends contained high fractions of PE which was the main source of Ti. Gasification chars showed higher surface areas (26.9-62.9m2g-1) and some microporosity, attributed to porous silica. On the contrary, pyrolysis chars did not present a porous matrix, mainly due to their high volatile matter content. The gasification bed char produced with 100% RH, at 850°C, with O2 as gasification agent, was selected for further characterization. This char presented the higher potential to be valorised as adsorbent material (higher surface area, higher content of metal cations with exchangeable capacity, and lowest concentrations of toxic heavy metals). The char was submitted to an aqueous leaching test to assess the mobility of chemical species and the ecotoxic level for V. fischeri. It was observed that metallic elements were significantly retained in the char, which was attributed mainly to its alkaline character. This alkaline condition promoted some ecotoxicity level on the char eluate that was eliminated after the pH correction.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE There is some evidence that clozapine is significantly underutilised. Also, clozapine use is thought to vary by country, but so far no international study has assessed trends in clozapine prescribing. Therefore, this study aimed to assess clozapine use trends on an international scale, using standardised criteria for data analysis. METHOD A repeated cross-sectional design was applied to data extracts (2005-2014) from 17 countries worldwide. RESULTS In 2014, overall clozapine use prevalence was greatest in Finland (189.2/100 000 persons) and in New Zealand (116.3/100 000), and lowest in the Japanese cohort (0.6/100 000), and in the privately insured US cohort (14.0/100 000). From 2005 to 2014, clozapine use increased in almost all studied countries (relative increase: 7.8-197.2%). In most countries, clozapine use was highest in 40-59-year-olds (range: 0.6/100 000 (Japan) to 344.8/100 000 (Finland)). In youths (10-19 years), clozapine use was highest in Finland (24.7/100 000) and in the publicly insured US cohort (15.5/100 000). CONCLUSION While clozapine use has increased in most studied countries over recent years, clozapine is still underutilised in many countries, with clozapine utilisation patterns differing significantly between countries. Future research should address the implementation of interventions designed to facilitate increased clozapine utilisation.

Abstract
AbstractPatients with schizophrenia exhibit a reduced life expectancy. Although unhealthy lifestyle or suicide risk plays a role, the main causes are diverse medical conditions such as cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes mellitus and metabolic syndrome. Albeit pharmacological secondary side effects might also trigger previous conditions, studies in naïve patients reflect diverse anomalies at the onset. Patients with a first episode of psychosis, display a wide scope of metabolic abnormalities, ranging from normality till pathological values depending on the parameters studied. We attempted to evaluate the metabolic syndrome and glycemic homeostasis in a subset of antipsychotic-naïve patients with a first episode of non-affective psychosis. Patients (n = 84) showed a similar prevalence of metabolic syndrome compared with a matched control sample (n = 98) (6% vs 4%, P = 0.562), while glucose homeostasis values differed significantly (14% vs. 5%, P = 0.034). Our results suggest that metabolic syndrome is not a useful clinical condition to be evaluated in patients before pharmacological treatment. Abnormal glycemic homeostasis at the onset of the disease requires specific diagnostic tools and preventive measures in order to avoid future cardiovascular events. New strategies must be implemented in order to evaluate the cardiovascular risk and subsequent morbidity in patients at the onset of the disease.

Abstract
The present work aims to assess the efficiency of chars, obtained from the gasification and co-pyrolysis of rice wastes, as adsorbents of Cr3+ from aqueous solution. GC and PC chars, produced in the gasification and co-pyrolysis, respectively, of rice husk and polyethylene were studied. Cr3+ removal assays were optimised for the initial pH value, adsorbent mass, contact time and Cr3+ initial concentration. GC showed a better performance than PC with about 100% Cr3+ removal, due to the pH increase that caused Cr precipitation. Under pH conditions in which the adsorption prevailed (pH<5.5), GC presented the highest uptake capacity (21.1mg Cr3+ g-1 char) for the following initial conditions: 50mg Cr3+ L-1; pH 5; contact time: 24h;L/S ratio: 1000mLg-1. The pseudo-second order kinetic model showed the best adjustment to GC experimental data. Both the first and second order kinetic models fitted well to PC experimental data. The ion exchange was the dominant phenomenon on the Cr3+ adsorption by GC sample. Also, this char significantly reduced the ecotoxicity of Cr3+ solutions for the bacterium Vibrio fischeri. GC char proved to be an efficient material to remove Cr3+ from aqueous solution, without the need for further activation.

Abstract
This study investigated whether the risk of presenting antipsychotic (AP)-induced extrapyramidal symptoms (EPS) could be related to single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in a naturalistic cohort of first episode psychosis (FEP) patients. Two hundred and two SNPs in 31 candidate genes (involved in dopamine, serotonin and glutamate pathways) were analyzed in the present study. One hundred and thirteen FEP patients (43 presenting EPS and 70 non-presenting EPS) treated with high-potency AP (amisulpride, paliperidone, risperidone and ziprasidone) were included in the analysis. The statistical analysis was adjusted by age, gender, AP dosage, AP combinations and concomitant treatments as covariates. Four SNPs in different genes (DRD2, SLC18A2, HTR2A and GRIK3) contributed significantly to the risk of EPS after correction for multiple testing (P<1 × 10(-4)). These findings support the involvement of dopamine, serotonin and glutamate pathways in AP-induced EPS.

Abstract
The concept of cognitive reserve (CR) suggests that the premorbid intelligence quotient (IQ), years of education and leisure activities provide more efficient cognitive networks and therefore allow a better management of some conditions associated to cognitive impairment. Fifty-two DSM-IV diagnosed FEP subjects were matched with 41 healthy controls by age, gender and parental socio-economic status. All subjects were assessed clinically, neuropsychologically and functionally at baseline and after a two-year follow-up. To assess CR at baseline, three proxies have been integrated: premorbid IQ, years of education-occupation and leisure activities. Higher CR was associated with better cognitive, functional and clinical outcomes at baseline. The CR proxy was able to predict working memory, attention, executive functioning, verbal memory and global composite cognitive score accounting for 48.9%, 19.1%, 16.9%, 10.8% and 14.9% respectively of the variance at two-year follow-up. CR was also significantly predictive of PANSS negative scale score (12.5%), FAST global score (13.4%) and GAF (13%) at two-year follow-up. In addition, CR behaved as a mediator of working memory (B=4.123) and executive function (B=3.298) at baseline and of working memory (B=5.034) at 2-year follow-up. An additional analysis was performed, in order to test whether this mediation could be attributed mainly to the premorbid IQ. We obtained that this measure was not enough by itself to explain this mediation. CR may contribute to neuropsychological and functional outcome. Specific programs addressed to improve cognition and functioning conducted at the early stages of the illness may be helpful in order to prevent cognitive and functional decline.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cognitive deficits are present from the onset of psychosis and are considered a core feature of the disorder. Increasing evidence suggests that cognitive function is associated with inflammatory processes. This study evaluated the association between cognition and inflammatory biomarkers in first-episode psychosis (FEP), in order to identify cognitive phenotypes from inflammatory expression profiles. METHOD A case-control study of 92 FEP patients and 80 matched controls was used. Neurocognitive assessment, including verbal ability, sustained attention, verbal memory, working memory and executive function, was performed. The expression of pro- and anti-inflammatory mediators of the main intracellular inflammatory pathway was measured in peripheral blood mononuclear cells and plasma. RESULTS FEP patients performed worse in all cognitive domains compared to controls and had higher expression of pro-inflammatory mediators and lower expression of anti-inflammatory mediators. In the FEP group, cognition and psychopathology were associated with inflammation. Hierarchical regression analysis showed that association between the anti-inflammatory prostaglandin 15d-PGJ2 and sustained attention on one hand, and COX-2 expression and executive function on the other, were statistically significant. CONCLUSIONS Our study provides evidence for an association between anti-inflammatory biomarkers and cognition in FEP. The identification of a subgroup of patients based on these measures could be useful to guide treatment programmes by providing tools to select a personalized treatment approach, but longitudinal studies are needed before. In the future, establishment of biomarkers linked to cognition would be useful to monitor the course of cognitive impairment, but substantially more data will be required. Determination of IκBα, the inhibitory protein of the pro-inflammatory transcription factor NFκB, could be useful in early phases to assess clinical severity.

Abstract
IntroductionCatatonia is a neuropsychiatric syndrome that appears in medical, neurological or psychiatric conditions. There are presentation variants: “malignant catatonia” (MC) subtype shares many characteristics with the neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS), possibly reflecting common pathophysiology.Objectives/methodsWe present a clinical vignette and review the literature available on online databases about MC/NMS.ResultsWe present a man, 41-years-old, black ethnicity, with no relevant medical history. He had two previous episodes compatible with brief psychosis, the last one in 2013, and a history of adverse reactions to low doses of antipsychotics. Since the last episode he was asymptomatic on olanzapine 2.5 mg id. He acutely presented to the Emergency Room with mutism, negativism, immobility and delusional speech, similar to the previous episodes mentioned and was admitted to a psychiatric infirmary, where his clinical condition worsened, showing muscle rigidity, hemodynamic instability, leukocytosis, rhabdomyolysis and fever. Supportive care was provided, olanzapine was suspended and electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) was initiated. After two months, he was discharged with no psychotic symptoms. He is still under ECT and no antipsychotic medication was reintroduced.Discussion/conclusionMany studies suggest that clinical or laboratory tests do not distinguish MC from NMS and that they are the same entity. These two conditions are life-threatening and key to treatment is a high suspicion level. There is no specific treatment; supportive care and stopping involved medications are the most widely used measures. ECT is a useful alternative to medication.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

Abstract
Previous studies have indicated systemic deregulation of the proinflammatory or anti-inflammatory balance in individuals with first-episode psychosis (FEP) that persists 12 months later. To identify potential risk/protective factors and associations with symptom severity, we assessed possible changes in plasma levels of neurotrophins (brain-derived neurotrophic factor [BDNF] and nerve growth factor [NGF]) and their receptors in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). Expression of the 2 forms of BDNF receptors (active TrkB-FL and inactiveTrkB-T1) in PBMCs of FEP patients changed over time, TrkB-FL expression increasing by 1 year after diagnosis, while TrkB-T1 expression decreased. The TrkB-FL/TrkB-T1 ratio (hereafter FL/T1 ratio) increased during follow-up in the nonaffective psychosis group only, suggesting different underlying pathophysiological mechanisms in subgroups of FEP patients. Further, the expression of the main NGF receptor, TrkA, generally increased in patients at follow-up. After adjusting for potential confounders, baseline levels of inducible isoforms of nitric oxide synthase, cyclooxygenase, and nuclear transcription factor were significantly associated with the FL/T1 ratio, suggesting that more inflammation is associated with higher values of this ratio. Interestingly, the FL/T1 ratio might have a role as a predictor of functioning, a regression model of functioning at 1 year suggesting that the effect of the FL/T1 ratio at baseline on functioning at 1 year depended on whether patients were treated with antipsychotics. These findings may have translational relevance; specifically, it might be useful to assess the expression of TrkB receptor isoforms before initiating antipsychotic treatment in FEPs.

Abstract
Cultured fibroblasts from first-episode schizophrenia patients (FES) have shown increased susceptibility to apoptosis, which may be related to glutamate dysfunction and progressive neuroanatomical changes. Here we determine whether apoptotic markers obtained from cultured fibroblasts in FES and controls correlate with changes in brain glutamate and N-acetylaspartate (NAA) and regional brain volumes. Eleven antipsychotic-naive FES and seven age- and gender-matched controls underwent 3-Tesla magnetic resonance imaging scanning. Glutamate plus glutamine (Glx) and NAA levels were measured in the anterior cingulate (AC) and the left thalamus (LT). Hallmarks of apoptotic susceptibility (caspase-3-baseline activity, phosphatidylserine externalization and chromatin condensation) were measured in fibroblast cultures obtained from skin biopsies after inducing apoptosis with staurosporine (STS) at doses of 0.25 and 0.5 μM. Apoptotic biomarkers were correlated to brain metabolites and regional brain volume. FES and controls showed a negative correlation in the AC between Glx levels and percentages of cells with condensed chromatin (CC) after both apoptosis inductions (STS 0.5 μM: r = -0.90; P = 0.001; STS 0.25 μM: r = -0.73; P = 0.003), and between NAA and cells with CC (STS 0.5 μM induction r = -0.76; P = 0.002; STS 0.25 μM r = -0.62; P = 0.01). In addition, we found a negative correlation between percentages of cells with CC and regional brain volume in the right supratemporal cortex and post-central region (STS 0.25 and 0.5 μM; P < 0.05 family-wise error corrected (FWEc)). We reveal for the first time that peripheral markers of apoptotic susceptibility may correlate with brain metabolites, Glx and NAA, and regional brain volume in FES and controls, which is consistent with the neuroprogressive theories around the onset of the schizophrenia illness.

Abstract
To identify the candidate genes for pharmacogenetic studies of antipsychotic (AP)-induced extrapyramidal symptoms (EPS), we propose a systems biology analytical approach, based on protein-protein interaction network construction and functional annotation analysis, of changes in gene expression (Human Genome U219 Array Plate) induced by treatment with risperidone or paliperidone in peripheral blood. 12 AP-naïve patients with first-episode psychosis participated in the present study. Our analysis revealed that, in response to AP treatment, constructed networks were enriched for different biological processes in patients without EPS (ubiquitination, protein folding and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) metabolism) compared with those presenting EPS (insulin receptor signaling, lipid modification, regulation of autophagy and immune response). Moreover, the observed differences also involved specific pathways, such as anaphase promoting complex /cdc20, prefoldin/CCT/triC and ATP synthesis in no-EPS patients, and mammalian target of rapamycin and NF-κB kinases in patients with EPS. Our results showing different patterns of gene expression in EPS patients, offer new and valuable markers for pharmacogenetic studies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hippocampal abnormalities have been demonstrated in schizophrenia. It is unclear whether these abnormalities worsen with age, and whether they affect cognition and function. AIMS To determine whether hippocampal abnormalities in chronic schizophrenia are associated with age, cognition and socio-occupational function. METHOD Using 3 T magnetic resonance imaging we scanned 100 persons aged 19-82 years: 51 were out-patients with stable schizophrenia at least 2 years after diagnosis and 49 were healthy volunteers matched for age and gender. Automated analysis was used to determine hippocampal volume and shape. RESULTS There were differential effects of age in the schizophrenia and control samples on total hippocampal volume (group × age interaction: F(1,95) = 6.57, P = 0.012), with steeper age-related reduction in the schizophrenia group. Three-dimensional shape analysis located the age-related deformations predominantly in the mid-body of the hippocampus. In the schizophrenia group similar patterns of morphometric abnormalities were correlated with impaired cognition and poorer socio-occupational function. CONCLUSIONS Hippocampal abnormalities are associated with age in people with chronic schizophrenia, with a steeper decline than in healthy individuals. These abnormalities are associated with cognitive and functional deficits, suggesting that hippocampal morphometry may be a biomarker for cognitive decline in older patients with schizophrenia.

Abstract
Negative symptoms prevalent in schizophrenia are associated with poor outcome. Developing new instruments to identify new treatments was highlighted at the NIMH-MATRICS Consensus Development Conference on Negative Symptoms. The new Brief Negative Symptoms scale (BNSS) demonstrated strong psychometric properties, but there is a need for validating it in non-English languages. A multi-center study was conducted to validate the Spanish version of the BNSS (BNSS-Sp) in 20 schizophrenia patients, following the original BNSS validation methodology. We found strong inter-rater, test-retest and internal consistency properties (for the total BNSS-Sp, intraclass correlation coefficient=0.97, Pearson's correlation coefficient r=0.95 (p<0.001), Cronbach's alpha=0.98).

Abstract
The main objective of this study was to assess the environmental risk of chars derived from the pyrolysis of mixtures of pine, plastics, and scrap tires, by studying their leaching potential and ecotoxicity. Relationships between chemical composition and ecotoxicity were established to identify contaminants responsible for toxicity. Since metallic contaminants were the focus of the present study, an EDTA washing step was applied to the chars to selectively remove metals that can be responsible for the observed toxicity. The results indicated that the introduction of biomass to the pyrolysis feedstock enhanced the acidity of chars and promote the mobilisation of inorganic compounds. Chars resulting from the pyrolysis of blends of pine and plastics did not produce ecotoxic eluates. A relationship between zinc concentrations in eluates and their ecotoxicity was found for chars obtained from mixtures with tires. A significant reduction in ecotoxicity was found when the chars were treated with EDTA, which was due to a significant reduction in zinc in chars after EDTA washing.
