Abstract
Neutropenia and agranulocytosis (N&A) are relatively rare, but potentially fatal adverse drug reactions (ADR). This study presents cases of N&A related to one or more antipsychotic drugs (APDs) in psychiatric inpatients. Data on APD utilization and reports of N&A caused by APDs were analyzed by using data from an observational pharmacovigilance program in German-speaking countries-Arzneimittelsicherheit in der Psychiatrie (AMSP)-from 1993 to 2016. 333,175 psychiatric inpatients were treated with APDs for schizophrenia and other indications during the observation period. A total of 124 cases of APD-induced N&A were documented, 48 of which fulfilled the criteria for agranulocytosis, corresponding to a rate of 0.37, respectively, 0.14 in 1000 inpatients treated with APDs. Neutropenia was more often detected in women, whereas there was no difference regarding sex in cases of agranulocytosis. Clozapine had the highest relative risk for inducing N&A and was imputed alone as a probable cause of N&A in 60 cases (1.57‰ of all patients exposed). Perazine showed the second highest relative risk with 8 cases and an incidence 0.52‰, followed by quetiapine (15 cases resp. 0.23‰ of all patients exposed) and olanzapine (7 cases; 0.13‰ of all patients exposed). N&A most often occurred during the first 3 months of treatment. Overall N&A are severe and potentially fatal complications that can occur during treatment with APDs. The results from this study largely agree with the currently available literature, highlighting the positive effects of alertness and established appropriate monitoring.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is a rare genetic disorder that in many cases is associated with mental health disorders, in addition to characteristic symptoms such as hyperphagia. The current Sars-CoV-2 coronavirus pandemic has led to massive restrictions in health care and social life worldwide. People with PWS represent a particularly vulnerable population group to these restrictions, with unknown impact on their mental health. METHODS We conducted an online questionnaire to assess the impact of the restrictions associated with the COVID-19 pandemic on the mental health of people with PWS. RESULTS One hundred and eight caregivers completed the survey about individuals with PWS. Individuals with PWS > 6 years (n = 89) were included for evaluation with regard to psychopathological change. Respondents frequently reported an increase in psychopathological symptoms associated with PWS during the lockdown, with 51.7% reporting increased temper outbursts, 43.8% showing signs of sadness, 38.2% being anxious, 55.0% more irritable, and 39.3% showing more food seeking behaviour. Adjusted for the type of accommodation food seeking behaviour and irritability is increased to a significantly lesser extent in people with PWS accommodated in specialised care facilities compared with those living in their family home. No significant difference could be found between the sexes. CONCLUSION The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant effect on the mental health of individuals with PWS, evidenced by an increase in behaviours associated with PWS, including temper outbursts, food-seeking, and irritability, which again underlines their need for specialised care. Individuals living with their families were particularly vulnerable, indicating that they and their families are in special need of support.

Abstract
Im Rahmen der aktuellen coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19)-Pandemie müssen sich viele Bereiche der Medizin umstrukturieren. Dies betrifft auch die Versorgung von Patienten mit psychischen Erkrankungen. Die Therapie psychischer Erkrankungen umfasst psychotherapeutische und psychopharmakologische Interventionen. Letztere können mit einer Vielzahl an unerwünschten Arzneimittelwirkungen (UAW) assoziiert sein, stellen aber in der aktuellen Situation mit Kontakt- und Ausgangsbeschränkungen die präferierte Therapieoption dar. Da der direkte Patientenkontakt zugunsten des Telefonats oder der Videokonferenz reduziert ist, müssen angepasste diagnostische und therapeutische Optionen gefunden werden, um eine ausreichende Patientensicherheit zu gewährleisten. Bedeutend sind hierbei die ausführliche Aufklärung der Patienten sowie eine aktive Abfrage von Symptomen zur rechtzeitigen Erkennung von UAW. Unter der Behandlung mit Psychopharmaka sind UAW zu befürchten, die besonders ungünstig sind, wenn sie im Rahmen einer akuten Infektion auftreten oder ein erhöhtes Infektionsrisiko begünstigen. Hierzu gehören Atemdepression, Agranulozytose, Intoxikation durch Hemmung des Arzneistoffmetabolismus und venöse Thromboembolien, die jeweils mit potenziell lebensbedrohlichen Folgen einhergehen. Gleichzeitig sollte auf eine ausreichende Wirksamkeit der Medikation geachtet werden, da die gegenwärtige Krise zu einer Exazerbation vorbestehender psychischer Erkrankungen führen bzw. deren Erstmanifestation begünstigen kann.

Abstract
OPREVENT2 was a multilevel, multicomponent (MLMC) adult obesity prevention that sought to improve access and demand for healthier food and physical activity opportunities in six Native American communities in the Southwest and Midwest. OPREVENT2 worked with worksites, food stores, schools (grades 2-6), through social media and mailings, and with a local community action committee (CAC), in each of the three intervention communities, and was implemented in six phases. We conducted a process evaluation to assess implementation of each intervention component in terms of reach, dose delivered and fidelity. Implementation of each component was classified as high, medium or low according to set standards, and reported back at the end of each phase, allowing for improvements. The school and worksite components were implemented with high reach, dose delivered and fidelity, with improvement over time. The school program had only moderate reach and dose delivered, as did the social media component. The CAC achieved high reach and dose delivered. Overall, study reach and dose delivered reached a high implementation level, whereas fidelity was medium. Great challenges exist in the consistent implementation of MLMC interventions. The detailed process evaluation of the OPREVENT2 trial allowed us to carefully assess the relative strengths and limitations of each intervention component.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Alcohol withdrawal syndrome is a common and life-threatening condition in patients suffering from alcohol use disorder. Treatment of this syndrome is challenging, especially in patients that are critically ill, either because of withdrawal symptoms or underlying conditions. For the treatment, several pharmacological agents exist, such as benzodiazepines, barbiturates, or dexmedetomidine. Nonetheless, as alcohol withdrawal syndromes can occur in every clinical setting, it is necessary to provide a guideline for clinicians confronted with this syndrome in varying clinical contexts. AREAS COVERED The authors provide a systematic review of the literature found in PubMed and Embase following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis guidelines. EXPERT OPINION For the treatment of alcohol withdrawal syndrome, medications targeting the GABA system are preferred. Benzodiazepines are regarded as the gold standard. However, as many adjunct therapeutic options exist, it is essential to find symptom-triggered approaches and treatment protocols for the variety of clinical contexts. Apart from that, it is necessary to compare protocols toward clinical variables rather than investigating medications that are in use for the treatment of alcohol withdrawal syndrome.

We focus on DNA methylation of exon 1 and 2 of the oxytocin receptor gene (OXTR) promoter. The research aims of the current study were to compare OXTR DNA methylation of depressed patients with healthy control subjects and to investigate possible influences of the OXTR rs53576 genotype. The sample of the present study consisted of 43 clinically depressed women recruited from a psychosomatic inpatient unit and 42 healthy, female control subjects - mean age 30 years (SD = 9). DNA methylation profiles of the OXTR gene were assessed from leukocyte DNA by means of bisulfite sequencing. Depressed female patients had decreased OXTR exon 1 DNA methylation compared to non-depressed women. The association between depression and methylation level was moderated by OXTR rs53576 genotype. Exon 2 methylation was associated with OXTR rs53576 genotype but not with depression. Our findings suggest exon-specific methylation mechanisms. Exon 1 methylation appears to be associated with depressive phenotypes whereas exon 2 methylation is influenced by genotype. Previously reported divergent associations between OXTR genotype and depression might be explained by varying exon 1 methylation. In order to further understand the etiology of depression, research on the interplay between genotype, environmental influences and exon-specific methylation patterns is needed.

Abstract
With the implementation of § 17 d KHG which provides for the introduction of a new, much more performance-based and transparent reimbursement system for psychiatric and psychosomatic hospitals, the Federal Ministry of Health sends the psychiatric and psychosomatic facilities in Germany into a previously unexplored area. Since 2013, there is the possibility of voluntary participation in the new system. Valid from 2015, every other institution will have to deal with the new challenges, opportunities and risks coming along with the structural changes, even though this fact will not have any impact on the individual hospital revenue budget until the end of 2016. There is still some time left to get used to the new system. This paper summarises the key data on the new reimbursement system and explains its content as well as how it works. In addition to that this paper goes into the classification system and clarifies what is essential for a solid preparation. Finally, it comments on the most common criticisms emerging since 2009. How the new system will develop remains to be seen. The fact that it will evolve seems to be certain in terms of a "learning system". It is up to all parties to promote the learning process so as to make effective use of existing potential and keep risks to a minimum.

Abstract
Grapheme-color synesthesia is a condition in which letters are perceived with an additional color dimension. To identify brain regions involved in this type of synesthesia and to analyze functional connectivity of these areas, 18 grapheme-color synesthetes and 18 matched controls were stimulated with letters and pseudo-letters presented in black and color in an event-related fMRI experiment. Based on the activation-differences between synesthetes and non-synesthetic controls regions of interest were defined. In a second analysis step functional connectivity was calculated using beta series correlation analysis for these seed regions. First we identified one seed region in the left inferior parietal (IPL) cortex (BA7) showing activation differences between grapheme-color synesthetes and controls. Furthermore, we found activation differences in brain areas involved in processing of letters and pseudo-letters, in particular the right IPL cortex (BA7), but also two more clusters in the right hemispheric BA 18 and BA 40. Functional connectivity analysis revealed an increased connectivity between the left IPL seed region and primary/secondary visual areas (BA 18) in synesthetes. Also the right BA 7 showed a stronger connectivity with primary/secondary visual areas (BA 18) in grapheme-color synesthetes. The results of this study support the idea that the parietal lobe plays an important role in synesthetic experience. The data suggest furthermore that the information flow in grapheme-color synesthetes was already modulated at the level of the primary visual cortex which is different than previously thought. Therefore, the current models of grapheme-color synesthesia have to be refined as the unusual communication flow in synesthetes is not restricted to V4, fusiform cortex and the parietal lobe but rather involves a more extended network.

Abstract
Hypotension is a frequent side effect of the antidepressant treatment. It is controversial whether this effect is attributable to interactions within the central nervous or the cardiovascular system. We examined often used antidepressants for their vasoactive properties in vitro in rat aortal rings with and without endothelium. The influence of pre-incubation with the antidepressants (0.5 μM) on adrenergic elicited smooth muscle contraction and the effects of cumulative concentrations (0.05 μM-500 μM) of the antidepressants on isometric tension were measured. In addition, conceivable modulation of the NO-cGMP, adrenergic and potassium channel pathways were examined. Amitriptyline and fluoxetine inhibited, whereas tranylcypromine enhanced adrenergic elicited responses of smooth muscle contraction. The antidepressants amitriptyline, fluoxetine and tranylcypromine showed, to a different extent, vasorelaxing properties in the preparations pre-contracted with phenylephrine 0.1 μM; the pEC50, (means and S.E.M.) in descending order of potency: amitriptyline 6.98 (0.13), fluoxetine 6.11 (0.05), tranylcypromine 5.33 (0.05) (n=8 each, preparations with endothelium); or after pre-contraction with KCl 20 mM: fluoxetine 6.00 (0.06), tranylcypromine 4.99 (0.30), amitriptyline, 4.89 (0.11), (n=7 each, preparations with endothelium). Venlafaxine did not relax the aortal rings and even lead to further contraction of the endothelium intact preparations. The observed effects were partially endothelium dependent via activation of the NO-cGMP pathway and some probably mediated through K+ channel activation. Amitriptyline, fluoxetine and tranylcypromine relax rat aorta in vitro. They partially delay vascular smooth muscle reactions to adrenergic agonists and can lead to sustained hypotension episodes despite administration of sympathomimetic drugs.

Abstract
In auditory-visual synaesthesia, all kinds of sound can induce additional visual experiences. To identify the brain regions mainly involved in this form of synaesthesia, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has been used during non-linguistic sound perception (chords and pure tones) in synaesthetes and non-synaesthetes. Synaesthetes showed increased activation in the left inferior parietal cortex (IPC), an area involved in multimodal integration, feature binding and attention guidance. No significant group-differences could be detected in area V4, which is known to be related to colour vision and form processing. The results support the idea of the parietal cortex acting as sensory nexus area in auditory-visual synaesthesia, and as a common neural correlate for different types of synaesthesia.

Abstract
IntroductionStigmatizing attitudes regarding mentally ill people are common (Rusch et al., 2010). Study result suggest that the degree of stigmatization may depend on concepts of psychiatric diseases (Crisafulli et al., 2008).AimsWe aimed to investigate the impact of a sole neurobiological vs. a sole sociodynamic disease concept on the attitudes of students towards the alcohol dependent patients (Crisafulli et al., 2008).Methods200 students were randomly assigned to read information explaining alcohol dependence sole neurobiologically/sociodynamically. Subsequently, the students completed a series of questionnaires (adapted from Crisafulli et al. (2008)) regarding their attitudes towards the alcohol dependent patients. Attitudes were compared to attitudes of students not exposed to any disease concept.ResultsConsistent with former study results we found increased blaming and decreased willingness to finance therapy in those students exposed to the sociodynamic explanation. Attitudes regarding blaming and harmfulness of the alcohol dependent patients were increased in the neurobiological and sociodynamic group compared to the un-exposed control group.ConclusionsInformation regarding possible causalities regarding the development of alcohol dependence is associated with more negative attitudes towards alcohol dependent patients in the questioned students compared to unexposed controls. This may be reasoned by the recognition of alcohol dependence as a manifestation of mental illness and the subsequent inclusion of the alcohol dependent patients in the prejudices and acts of discrimination commonly leveled against the mentally ill. Therefore, multimodal interventions rather than medicinal information seem to be necessary in order to decrease stigmatization of the alcohol dependent patients.

Abstract
IntroductionNatural speech perception relies on both, auditory and visual information. Both sensory channels provide redundant and complementary information, such that speech perception is enhanced in healthy subjects, when both information channels are present.ObjectivesPatients with schizophrenia have been reported to have problems regarding this audiovisual integration process, but little is known about which neural processes are altered.AimsIn this study we investigated functional connectivity of Broca’s area in patients with schizophrenia.MethodsFunctional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) was performed in 15 schizophrenia patients and 15 healthy controls to study functional connectivity of Broca’s area during perception of videos of bisyllabic German nouns, in which audio and video either matched (congruent condition) or die not match (incongruent; e.g. video = hotel, audio = island).ResultsThere were differences in connectivity between experimental groups and between conditions. Broca’s area of the patient group showed connections to more brain areas than the control group. This difference was more prominent in the incongruent condition, for which only one connection between Broca's area and the supplementary motor area was found in control participants, whereas patients showed connections to 8 widely distributed brain areas.ConclusionsThe findings imply that audiovisual integration problems in schizophrenia result from maladaptive connectivity of Broca's area in particular when confronted with incongruent stimuli and are discussed in light of recent audio visual speech models.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES Cognitive dysfunction is a common aspect of the spectrum of symptoms of geriatric depression. High homocysteine levels have been linked to cognitive decline in neuropsychiatric disorders. The present study investigated possible associations between cognitive impairment observed in geriatric depression and homocysteine levels. METHODS The performance of 25 mentally healthy individuals and 40 patients with geriatric depression in terms of language processing, processing speed, concentration and attention was assessed with the Stroop Test and the d2 Test of Attention. Serum homocysteine was determined with an enzyme immunoassay. RESULTS The performance of depressed patients was significantly worse in language processing (p = 0.001) and processing speed (p < 0.0001). Depressed patients with high levels of homocysteine performed better than patients with homocysteine concentrations <or=11.7 micromol/l in both cognitive domains (p = 0.006 and 0.009, respectively). Moreover, homocysteine level was positively associated with language processing (p = 0.002) and processing speed (p = 0.002). CONCLUSIONS These findings indicate that under the special circumstances of geriatric depression (perturbation of glutamatergic transmission and glutamate metabolism), homocysteine is positively associated with the performance in language processing and processing speed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute homocysteine elevation has been shown to have a significant impact on cognitive function in animal models. OBJECTIVES Investigation of the short-term impact of elevation of plasma homocysteine levels through a dietary intervention on cognitive abilities of young healthy adults. PARTICIPANTS 100 healthy medical students of both genders were enrolled in the study. DESIGN AND MEASUREMENTS Homocysteine levels and cognitive abilities were measured at 08:30 (before breakfast) and at 15:00 (two hours after lunch and six hours after breakfast). Food intake was restricted to specified comestibles. The cognitive assessment comprised a version of the Short Test for General Intelligence, three subtests of the Syndrome Short Test and the Stroop test. RESULTS At 15:00 plasma homocysteine was significantly elevated in 56 participants (P < 0.00001), whilst in 44 it was decreased (P < 0.00001) in comparison to baseline (08:30). The decrease was however of limited clinical significance. The differences in the changes in cognitive performance between the two groups did not attain statistical significance (P > 0.05) and the direction of the changes did not differ between them. Accordingly, the multiple linear regression analysis did not reveal an important influence of homocysteine elevation on cognitive performance variations. CONCLUSIONS Significant increase of plasma homocysteine is not associated with a straightforward inhibitory or facilitatory short-term effect on physiological cognitive parameters in young healthy adults.
