Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and 5-HT2C receptor: A slight increase in the transmission of Cys23 to ADHD cases
(1999)Recent evidence suggests that interaction with and balancebetween serotonergicand dopaminergic neurotransmissionis important in the mediation of hyperactive behaviour.Animal model studies have ®rmly implicated the genes ... -
In God we trust? Organised religion and personal beliefs as resources and coping strategies, and their implications for health in parents with a child on the autistic spectrum
(1999)This paper is part of a larger study looking at the impact on 60 families of having a child with autistic spectrum disorder. Here the roles played by organised reliagion and personal belief and their relationship with ... -
Lack of gender effect on familial schizophrenia. A Brazilian study.
(Arquivos de Neuro Psiquiatria / Academia Brasileira de Neurologia - ABNEURO, 2000)Estudos epidemiologicos em esquizofrenia estabeleceram que a idade de inicio para o genero masculino precede em alguns anos aquela para o feminino. No entanto, tal efeito de genero n?o vem sendo observado para os casos ... -
The neuronal adaptor protein X11alpha interacts with the copper chaperone for SOD1 and regulates SOD1 activity.
(2001)The neuronal adaptor protein X11a participates in the formation of multiprotein complexes and intracellular trafficking. It contains a series of discrete protein-protein interaction domains including two contiguous ... -
Cigarette smoking and psychotic symptoms in bipolar affective disorder
(The Royal College of Psychiatrists, 2001)Background An association exists between smoking and schizophrenia, independent of other factors and related to psychotic symptomatology. Aims To determine whether smoking is associated with psychosis in bipolar affective ... -
Dopa decarboxylase gene polymorphisms and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD): no evidence for association in the Irish population
(2001)Dopa decarboxylase (DDC) is an enzyme which catalyses the decarboxylation of both dopa to dopamine and L-5 hydroxytryptophan to serotonin. Both catecholamines are major neurotransmitters of the mammalian nervous system. ... -
Serotonergic System and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD): a potential susceptibility locus at the 5-HT1B receptor gene in 270 Trios from a multi-center sample
(2002)Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a highly heritable and heterogeneous disorder, which usually becomes apparent during the first few years of childhood. Imbalance in dopamine neurotransmission has been ... -
Evidence that variation at the serotonin transporter gene influences susceptibility to attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD): analysis and pooled analysis.
(2002)Reduced central serotonergic activity has been implicated in poor impulse regulation and aggressive behaviour in animals, adults and also young children.1,2 Two recently published studies have implicated variation at a ... -
The Wellcome trust UK-Irish bipolar affective disorder sibling-pair genome screen: first stage report
(Nature Publishing Group, 2002)We have completed the first stage of a two-stage genome wide screen designed to identify chromosomal regions that may harbour susceptibility genes for bipolar affective disorder. The first stage screening sample included ... -
Dopaminergic system genes in ADHD: toward a biological hypothesis
(2002)Converging evidence has implicated abnormalities of dopamine neurotransmission to the pathology of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Several genetic association studies have been published, but so far, no ... -
Euthanasia, assisted suicide and psychiatry: a Pandora's box
(2002)Euthanasia has been defined as `the bringing about of a gentle and easy death for someone suffering from an incurable and painful disease or in an irreversible coma? (Pearsall & Trumble, 1996). It accounts for nearly 2% ... -
Synaptosomal-Associated Protein 25 (SNAP-25) and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD): Evidence of linkage and Association in the Irish Population.
(2002)Several lines of evidence have suggested that ADHD is a polygenic disorder produced by the interaction of several genes each of a minor effect. Synaptosomal-associated protein 25 (SNAP-25) is a presynaptic plasma membrane ... -
Genome scan meta-analysis of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, part III: Bipolar disorder
(2003)Genome scans of bipolar disorder (BPD) have not produced consistent evidence for linkage. The rank-based genome scan meta-analysis (GSMA) method was applied to 18 BPD genome scan data sets in an effort to identify regions ... -
Compliance Therapy: A Randomised Controlled Trial In Schizophrenia.
(2003)OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy of "compliance therapy" for improving adherence to prescribed drug treatment among patients with schizophrenia. DESIGN: Randomised controlled trial. SETTING: Urban catchment ... -
Electroconvulsive therapy - state of the art
(The Royal College of Physicians, 2003)Although electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) has been available for more than 60 years it is still the most acutely effective antidepressant treatment available (McCall, 2001). However, despite substantial advances in safety ...
