Psychological stress and anxiety, such those generated by forced quarantine, affect gastrointestinal symptoms course in patients with functional gastrointestinal disorders. Thus, our aim was to assess, in a cohort of patients regularly followed up in a devoted outpatient clinic of Southern Italy, the association between their gastrointestinal symptoms changes, stress, and anxiety reported during the Italian lockdown. We recruited patients from the outpatient clinic of the University of Salerno, devoted to functional gastrointestinal disorders, selecting only patients for whom an evaluation was available in the last 6months before the lockdown. Gastrointestinal symptoms were evaluated at each visit through standardized questionnaire and pooled in a database. On 45th days from the beginning of the lockdown, patients were re-assessed by phone with the same questionnaire. Anxiety and stress levels were assessed through a self-administered online questionnaire based on Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7 test and Perceived Stress Scale 10 test. The intensity-frequency scores of several upper gastrointestinal symptoms improved (Wilcoxon test <0.05). Higher anxiety levels had a higher risk of worsening chest pain (OR 1.3 [1.1-1.7]), waterbrash (OR 1.3 [1.0-1.7]), epigastric burning (OR 1.3 [1.0-1.6]), and abdominal pain (OR 1.6 [1.0-2.3]). When compared to the interval preceding the outbreak, half of the patients declared their symptoms remained unchanged, 13.6% worsened, and 36.4% improved. During the COVID-19 quarantine, there was an improvement of the majority of upper gastrointestinal symptoms in our patients, and anxiety seems an important risk of worsening few of them.During the COVID-19 quarantine, there was an improvement of the majority of upper gastrointestinal symptoms in our patients, and anxiety seems an important risk of worsening few of them.Taking a developmental perspective, guided by core principles of developmental science and developmental psychopathology, is necessary to move the fields of personality science and psychopathology forward. Personality and psychopathology can be delineated using hierarchical models of individual differences, as evidenced by decades of converging evidence across community and psychiatric samples, countries and cultures, and ages and developmental periods. A large body of empirical research likewise documents associations between personality and various forms of psychopathology. Cross-sectional investigations of personality-psychopathology links in samples of adults now yield diminishing returns. Prospective, longitudinal investigations that assess personality, psychopathology, and their co-development across the life span are needed to determine their temporal ordering, capture dynamic associations over time and development, and elucidate causal origins and underlying mechanisms. We lay out a developmental framework that integrates across the developmental, personality, and psychopathology literatures in order to further understanding and guide future investigations of the nature of personality-psychopathology links.Visuoperceptive deficits are frequently reported in severe alcohol use disorder (SAUD) and are considered as pervasive and persistent in time. While this topic of investigation has previously driven researchers' interest, far fewer studies have focused on visuoperception in SAUD since the '90s, leaving open central questions regarding the origin and implications of these deficits. To renew research in the field and provide a solid background to work upon, this paper reviews the neural correlates of visuoperception in SAUD, based on data from neuroimaging and electrophysiological studies. Results reveal structural and functional changes within the visual system but also in the connections between occipital and frontal areas. We highlight the lack of integration of these findings in the dominant models of vision which stress the dynamic nature of the visual system and consider the presence of both bottom-up and top-down cerebral mechanisms. Visuoperceptive changes are also discussed in the framework of long-lasting debates regarding the influence of demographic and alcohol-related factors, together stressing the presence of inter-individual differences. Capitalizing on this review, we provide guidelines to inform future research, and ultimately improve clinical care.Pseudomyogenic hemangioendothelioma (PHE) is a rare vascular neoplasm with intermediate malignant potential first described by Mirra et al. in 1992. Young males are most commonly effected, with the distal extremities the most likely site of disease. Metastases are extremely uncommon, and widely metastatic disease present at initial diagnosis even less so. These tumors are associated with FOSB gene fusions. We present an unusual case of PHE with widely metastatic disease at presentation, along with novel EGFL7-FOSB gene fusion.CLN3 disease is a pediatric neurodegenerative condition wherein seizures are common. The most common disease-causing variant is an ~1-kb deletion in CLN3. We investigated seizure phenotype in relation to genotype and to adaptive behavior, MR spectroscopy and CSF biochemical markers in a CLN3 cohort. We performed seizure phenotyping using clinical history, EEG, and the Unified Batten Disease Rating Scale (UBDRS) seizure score. We assessed correlations of seizure severity with disease severity (UBDRS capability), adaptive behavior composite score (ABC; Vineland-3), glutamate+glutamine+GABA and N-acetylaspartate+N-acetylaspartyl glutamate (MR spectroscopy), and CSF neurofilament light chain (NEFL) levels. In 20 participants, median age was 10.7 years (IQR = 7.8). Quarfloxin in vivo Eighteen completed baseline EEG; 12 had a 1-year follow-up. Seizures were reported in 14 (8 1-kb deletion homozygotes), with median age at onset of 10.0 (IQR = 6.8). Epileptiform discharges were noted in 15 (9 homozygotes). Bilateral tonic clonic (n = 11) and nonmotor seizures (n = 7) were most common. UBDRS seizure score correlated with age (rp = 0.50; [0.08,0.77]; P = .02), UBDRS capability (rp = -0.57; [-0.81,-0.17]; P = .009) and ABC (rp = -0.66; [-0.85,-0.31]; P = .001) scores, glutamate+glutamine+GABA (rp = -0.54; [-0.80,-0.11]; P = .02) and N-acetylaspartate+N-acetylaspartyl glutamate (rp = -0.54; [-0.80,-0.11]; P = .02), and CSF NEFL (rp = 0.65; [0.29,0.85]; P = .002) levels. After controlling for age, correlations with ABC and CSF NEFL remained significant. In our CLN3 cohort, seizures and epileptiform discharges were frequent and often started by age 10 years without significant difference between genotypes. ABC and CSF NEFL correlate with UBDRS seizure score, reflecting the role of seizures in the neurodegenerative process. Longitudinal evaluations in a larger cohort are needed to confirm these findings.
