Abstract
BACKGROUND The COVID-19 pandemic has brought significant mental health challenges, particularly for vulnerable populations, including non-binary gender individuals. The COMET international study aimed to investigate specific risk factors for clinical depression or distress during the pandemic, also in these special populations. METHODS Chi-square tests were used for initial screening to select only those variables which would show an initial significance. Risk Ratios (RR) were calculated, and a Multiple Backward Stepwise Linear Regression Analysis (MBSLRA) was followed with those variables given significant results at screening and with the presence of distress or depression or the lack of both of them. RESULTS The most important risk factors for depression were female (RR = 1.59-5.49) and non-binary gender (RR = 1.56-7.41), unemployment (RR = 1.41-6.57), not working during lockdowns (RR = 1.43-5.79), bad general health (RR = 2.74-9.98), chronic somatic disorder (RR = 1.22-5.57), history of mental disorders (depression RR = 2.31-9.47; suicide attempt RR = 2.33-9.75; psychosis RR = 2.14-10.08; Bipolar disorder RR = 2.75-12.86), smoking status (RR = 1.15-5.31) and substance use (RR = 1.77-8.01). The risk factors for distress or depression that survived MBSLRA were younger age, being widowed, living alone, bad general health, being a carer, chronic somatic disorder, not working during lockdowns, being single, self-reported history of depression, bipolar disorder, self-harm, suicide attempts and of other mental disorders, smoking, alcohol, and substance use. CONCLUSIONS Targeted preventive interventions are crucial to safeguard the mental health of vulnerable groups, emphasizing the importance of diverse samples in future research. LIMITATIONS Online data collection may have resulted in the underrepresentation of certain population groups.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The prevalence of medical illnesses is high among patients with psychiatric disorders. The current study aimed to investigate multi-comorbidity in patients with psychiatric disorders in comparison to the general population. Secondary aims were to investigate factors associated with metabolic syndrome and treatment appropriateness of mental disorders. METHODS The sample included 54,826 subjects (64.73% females; 34.15% males; 1.11% nonbinary gender) from 40 countries (COMET-G study). The analysis was based on the registration of previous history that could serve as a fair approximation for the lifetime prevalence of various medical conditions. RESULTS About 24.5% reported a history of somatic and 26.14% of mental disorders. Mental disorders were by far the most prevalent group of medical conditions. Comorbidity of any somatic with any mental disorder was reported by 8.21%. One-third to almost two-thirds of somatic patients were also suffering from a mental disorder depending on the severity and multicomorbidity. Bipolar and psychotic patients and to a lesser extent depressives, manifested an earlier (15-20 years) manifestation of somatic multicomorbidity, severe disability, and probably earlier death. The overwhelming majority of patients with mental disorders were not receiving treatment or were being treated in a way that was not recommended. Antipsychotics and antidepressants were not related to the development of metabolic syndrome. CONCLUSIONS The finding that one-third to almost two-thirds of somatic patients also suffered from a mental disorder strongly suggests that psychiatry is the field with the most trans-specialty and interdisciplinary value and application points to the importance of teaching psychiatry and mental health in medical schools and also to the need for more technocratically oriented training of psychiatric residents.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The current study aimed to investigate the rates of anxiety, clinical depression, and suicidality and their changes in health professionals during the COVID-19 outbreak. MATERIALS AND METHODS The data came from the larger COMET-G study. The study sample includes 12,792 health professionals from 40 countries (62.40% women aged 39.76 ± 11.70; 36.81% men aged 35.91 ± 11.00 and 0.78% non-binary gender aged 35.15 ± 13.03). Distress and clinical depression were identified with the use of a previously developed cut-off and algorithm, respectively. STATISTICAL ANALYSIS Descriptive statistics were calculated. Chi-square tests, multiple forward stepwise linear regression analyses, and Factorial Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) tested relations among variables. RESULTS Clinical depression was detected in 13.16% with male doctors and 'non-binary genders' having the lowest rates (7.89 and 5.88% respectively) and 'non-binary gender' nurses and administrative staff had the highest (37.50%); distress was present in 15.19%. A significant percentage reported a deterioration in mental state, family dynamics, and everyday lifestyle. Persons with a history of mental disorders had higher rates of current depression (24.64% vs. 9.62%; p < 0.0001). Suicidal tendencies were at least doubled in terms of RASS scores. Approximately one-third of participants were accepting (at least to a moderate degree) a non-bizarre conspiracy. The highest Relative Risk (RR) to develop clinical depression was associated with a history of Bipolar disorder (RR = 4.23). CONCLUSIONS The current study reported findings in health care professionals similar in magnitude and quality to those reported earlier in the general population although rates of clinical depression, suicidal tendencies, and adherence to conspiracy theories were much lower. However, the general model of factors interplay seems to be the same and this could be of practical utility since many of these factors are modifiable.

Abstract
BACKGROUND During the COVID-19 pandemic healthcare workers have been under pressure of high workload and an increased risk of contracting the SARS-Cov-2 virus, while confronting the most tragic and devastating aspects of the pandemic-related medical realities. These factors could lead to severe distress with potential consequences for productivity in performing professional duties, and substantially increased risk for affective reactions, including clinical states of anxiety, depression and suicidality as compared to the general population. Thus, we aimed to investigate the changes in rates of anxiety, depression and suicidality in response to the pandemic among medical staff as compared to a sample of the general population and to the period of prepandemic time. SUBJECTS AND METHODS This study is part of the large-scale, international multicentre COMET-G project. We assessed the extents of anxiety, depression and suicidality risks using the Stait-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) with a cut-off score 39/40, Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D) with a cut-off score 23/24, and the Risk Assessment Suicidality Scale (RASS) with a cut-off score 499/500, respectively, in samples of Russian healthcare workers and the general population. RESULTS Among 7777 respondents participating in the study, responses to a query about occupation indicated 1216 healthcare workers. 45.8% of medical staff vs 40.4% of non-medical staff (χ2=12.42, p<0.001) reported the increased anxiety, in excess of the clinical anxiety state threshold score of 39 according to the STAI. High suicidality risks, according to a RASS score > 500, were reported by 8.2% of medical professionals vs 10.6% of non-medical personnel (χ2=6.35, p=0.012). The increase in depression rates, including cases of clinical depression according to the threshold of CES-D ≥ 24, did not differ between the groups. CONCLUSIONS A larger proportion of healthcare system staff, as compared to the general population, reported a significant increase in anxiety in response to the pandemic. Compared to medical doctors, other healthcare system workers had a significantly higher prevalence of depression and suicidality rates. Exploratory analysis suggested that it was not the occupation per se, but rather the burden of meaningful working duties that could be associated with psychological defense mechanisms against depression and suicidality among medical staff.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION During the COVID-19 pandemic various degrees of lockdown were applied by countries around the world. It is considered that such measures have an adverse effect on mental health but the relationship of measure intensity with the mental health effect has not been thoroughly studied. Here we report data from the larger COMET-G study pertaining to this question. MATERIAL AND METHODS During the COVID-19 pandemic, data were gathered with an online questionnaire from 55,589 participants from 40 countries (64.85% females aged 35.80 ± 13.61; 34.05% males aged 34.90±13.29 and 1.10% other aged 31.64±13.15). Anxiety was measured with the STAI, depression with the CES-D and suicidality with the RASS. Distress and probable depression were identified with the use of a previously developed cut-off and algorithm respectively. STATISTICAL ANALYSIS It included the calculation of Relative Risk (RR), Factorial ANOVA and Multiple backwards stepwise linear regression analysis RESULTS: Approximately two-thirds were currently living under significant restrictions due to lockdown. For both males and females the risk to develop clinical depression correlated significantly with each and every level of increasing lockdown degree (RR 1.72 and 1.90 respectively). The combined lockdown and psychiatric history increased RR to 6.88 The overall relationship of lockdown with severity of depression, though significant was small. CONCLUSIONS The current study is the first which reports an almost linear relationship between lockdown degree and effect in mental health. Our findings, support previous suggestions concerning the need for a proactive targeted intervention to protect mental health more specifically in vulnerable groups.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION There are few published empirical data on the effects of COVID-19 on mental health, and until now, there is no large international study. MATERIAL AND METHODS During the COVID-19 pandemic, an online questionnaire gathered data from 55,589 participants from 40 countries (64.85% females aged 35.80 ± 13.61; 34.05% males aged 34.90±13.29 and 1.10% other aged 31.64±13.15). Distress and probable depression were identified with the use of a previously developed cut-off and algorithm respectively. STATISTICAL ANALYSIS Descriptive statistics were calculated. Chi-square tests, multiple forward stepwise linear regression analyses and Factorial Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) tested relations among variables. RESULTS Probable depression was detected in 17.80% and distress in 16.71%. A significant percentage reported a deterioration in mental state, family dynamics and everyday lifestyle. Persons with a history of mental disorders had higher rates of current depression (31.82% vs. 13.07%). At least half of participants were accepting (at least to a moderate degree) a non-bizarre conspiracy. The highest Relative Risk (RR) to develop depression was associated with history of Bipolar disorder and self-harm/attempts (RR = 5.88). Suicidality was not increased in persons without a history of any mental disorder. Based on these results a model was developed. CONCLUSIONS The final model revealed multiple vulnerabilities and an interplay leading from simple anxiety to probable depression and suicidality through distress. This could be of practical utility since many of these factors are modifiable. Future research and interventions should specifically focus on them.

Abstract
Social dysfunction is one of the most debilitating aspects of schizophrenia. Treatment of this complex phenomenon, constituted by negative, cognitive, and affective symptoms, has been difficult with the available pharmacological agents, hence it represents an unmet medical need. Cariprazine, a novel, third-generation antipsychotic with a unique mechanism of action has been proven to sufficiently alleviate negative, cognitive, and affective symptoms of schizophrenia. These characteristics make this compound a valid candidate for addressing social dysfunction too. In this perspective, we argue that cariprazine can be viewed as a "socializing drug" that has the ability to improve the patient's functionality and ultimately their quality of life. Data from animal research, clinical trials, an observational study, and patient cases are provided.

Abstract
Catatonia is a rare neuropsychiatric syndrome that can accompany various medical conditions, including schizophrenia, autoimmune encephalitis, and infectious diseases. We present two cases of catatonia in males aged 12 and 17 years from Central Asia who tested positive for SARS-Cov-2 antibodies. Detailed medical assessments declined other potential precipitating factors, including schizophrenia or anti-NMDA receptor autoimmune encephalitis. FDG-PET in the younger patient demonstrated focal hypometabolism in left frontotemporal and right associative visual cortex, matching patterns previously seen in adults with catatonia. These isolated findings raise concerns about a possible causal relationship between COVID-19 infection and risk of catatonia manifestation in adolescents.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The COVID-19 pandemic has substantially contributed to increased anxiety rates among the general population worldwide. Pandemic-related health anxiety and worries about getting COVID-19 can lead to generalized anxiety and anxiety somatization, which, together with insalubrious daily life habits, are risk factors of worsening somatic health in people with SARS-Cov-2 infection. SUBJECTS AND METHODS The current study is a part of the COMET-G project (40 countries, n=55589; approved by the Ethics Committee of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki), which represents an intermediate analysis of data collected anonymously via online links from a national sample of the Russian general population (n=9936, 31.09±12.16 y.o., 58.7% females) to estimate anxiety using STAI-S and self-reported changes in anxiety and life habits (physical activity, nutrition and weight, internet use, sleep) during the lockdown. All statistical calculations (descriptive statistics, between group comparisons using chi-square test, MANOVA, ANOVA, significant at p<0.05) were performed with IBM SPSS 27. RESULTS Overall STAI-S scores were 29±5.4, a subjective feeling of anxiety increase was reported in 40.3% of respondents (43.9% significantly > in females), worsening to clinical anxiety in 2.1% (2.4% > in females). 54.2% of respondents reported decreased physical activity, 33.1% gained weight, 72% used internet more often, 52.6% experienced worries related to the information about COVID-19 (56.8% > in females). 88% experienced worsened sleep quality, 69.2% stayed up until late, 23.2% took sleeping pills, and 31% had nightmares in which they felt trapped. To ANOVA, such life habits as reduced physical activity during the lockdown, increased time spent online, internet browsing about COVID-19, tendency to stay up late, use of sleeping pills and disturbing dreams with scenario of being trapped were significantly related to worsening of clinical anxiety. However, eating behaviour, weight changes, and social media use did not contribute to the clinical anxiety increase. CONCLUSIONS Factors of decreased physical activity and sleep disturbances related to the lockdown, as well as excessive internet browsing for information about COVID-19, emerged as risk factors for increased anxiety, more notably in women than in men. Preventive measures should be targeted against relevant factors imparting anxiety in the vulnerable population.

Abstract
Time resolution is one of the main characteristics of the single photon detectors besides quantum efficiency and dark count rate. We demonstrate here an ultrafast time-correlated single photon counting (TCSPC) setup consisting of a newly developed single photon counting board SPC-150NX and a superconducting NbN single photon detector with a sensitive area of 7 × 7 μm. The combination delivers a record instrument response function with a full width at half maximum of 17.8 ps and system quantum efficiency ∼15% at wavelength of 1560 nm. A calculation of the root mean square value of the timing jitter for channels with counts more than 1% of the peak value yielded about 7.6 ps. The setup has also good timing stability of the detector-TCSPC board.

Abstract
The article describes the current state of scientific publications in the field of psychiatry in the Russian Federation. Issues of academic dissertations, lack of access to recent Russian language research in foreign databases, and recent reforms in the Ministry of Education and Science for overcoming these limitations are discussed in detail. Four exemplary dissertation studies published in Russian language are summarized. The first research examines the contribution of patient's verbal behavior to the reliable diagnosis of mild depression, identifying objective signs for distinguishing it from normal sadness; the mood component influenced the whole mental status and was represented in both structure and semantics of patients' speech. The second paper describes the course of panic disorder with agoraphobia, with the notable results that debut of panic disorder with full-blown panic attacks, often declines to a second accompanied with agoraphobia, which after several years gives way to limited symptom attacks and decreased agoraphobic avoidance. The third study describes the high prevalence of affective and anxiety disorders in patients with diabetes mellitus type 1 and 2, and the role of personality traits in adherence to treatment in patients with poor glucose control. The fourth project uses functional MRI for probing the features of neuronal resting-state networks in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy; the association with affective symptoms provides a model for investigating the pathophysiology of mood disorder.

Abstract
A novel family of candidate gustatory receptors (GRs) was recently identified in searches of the Drosophila genome. We have performed in situ hybridization and transgene experiments that reveal expression of these genes in both gustatory and olfactory neurons in adult flies and larvae. This gene family is likely to encode both odorant and taste receptors. We have visualized the projections of chemosensory neurons in the larval brain and observe that neurons expressing different GRs project to discrete loci in the antennal lobe and subesophageal ganglion. These data provide insight into the diversity of chemosensory recognition and an initial view of the representation of gustatory information in the fly brain.

Abstract
We suggest a method implemented in a computer program, immodestly dubbed TSUNAMI, that allows us to compare two homologous protein subfamilies with respect to the distribution of substitution rates along sequences. This study furthers our earlier work on a wavelet model of rate variation (1). The current approach allows sensitive detection of subtle discordances in the selection patterns between two protein subfamilies. In addition to performing fast computation of the maximum posterior probability estimates of the relative substitution rates, the method can select the most appropriate number of wavelet parameters for a particular dataset. TSUNAMI is based on a Markov chain Monte Carlo technique, and appears to be more applicable to larger datasets than is the full likelihood-based approach.

Abstract
We describe a system which automatically identifies gene and protein names in journal articles, an important and non-trivial first step in knowledge extraction of protein and gene actions. Our system uses a database of gene and protein names and is based on BLAST [Altschul et al., Nucleic Acids Res. 25 (1997) 3389-3402], a popular tool for DNA and protein sequence comparison. We describe a method that consists of mapping sequences of text characters into sequences of nucleotides that can be processed by BLAST. We demonstrate that this approach is feasible: the system matches gene and protein names with a recall of 78.8% and a precision of 71.7%, which includes names that are not part of the system database. An analysis of the results suggests techniques that can be used to improve performance further.

Abstract
We propose models for describing replacement rate variation in genes and proteins, in which the profile of relative replacement rates along the length of a given sequence is defined as a function of the site number. We consider here two types of functions, one derived from the cosine Fourier series, and the other from discrete wavelet transforms. The number of parameters used for characterizing the substitution rates along the sequences can be flexibly changed and in their most parameter-rich versions, both Fourier and wavelet models become equivalent to the unrestricted-rates model, in which each site of a sequence alignment evolves at a unique rate. When applied to a few real data sets, the new models appeared to fit data better than the discrete gamma model when compared with the Akaike information criterion and the likelihood-ratio test, although the parametric bootstrap version of the Cox test performed for one of the data sets indicated that the difference in likelihoods between the two models is not significant. The new models are applicable to testing biological hypotheses such as the statistical identity of rate variation profiles among homologous protein families. These models are also useful for determining regions in genes and proteins that evolve significantly faster or slower than the sequence average. We illustrate the application of the new method by analyzing human immunoglobulin and Drosophilid alcohol dehydrogenase sequences.

Abstract
The only thing for which Serbski is known nowadays is that, following his death in 1917, the Institute of Medico-Legal Psychiatry in Moscow was named after him. It was here, half a century later, that was made the diagnosis of sluggish schizophrenia from the observation of numerous dissidents. Yet the biography of this pupil and successor of Korsakov is that of a liberal, who championned the cause of human rights under the ancient regime, and in particular those of the mentally ill. His theoretical writings, published in the medico-psychological Annales in 1903-1904, are a contribution to the critique made by the French speaking school of the extended conception of dementia praecox developed by Kraepelin in 1899, and taken up by Bleuler in 1911, with his description of the group of schizophrenias. Serbski does not then deserve the opprobrium which the proper condemnation of the use of psychiatry for political issues has inflicted up on his name.
