Summary: The longitudinal relationship between short habitual sleep and psychotic-like experiences (PLEs) in adolescents was investigated. It was found that shorter weekday sleep was associated with a higher risk of subsequent year PLEs, while PLEs did not affect subsequent year sleep.

Summary: This study investigated the internal pesticides exposure levels in pregnant Chinese women and identified specific pesticides associated with domain-specific neuropsychological development. The results showed significant inverse associations between prenatal exposure to chlorpyrifos, mirex, atrazine, and dimethipin and the domain-specific neuropsychological development of children at 12 and 18 months of age.

Summary: This study investigated whether psychotic-like experiences (PLEs) during adolescence predict future PLEs in adulthood. The findings revealed that PLEs and anxiety during adolescence predicted the occurrence of PLEs in early adulthood. Female individuals were more likely to report PLEs during adolescence. Participants with persistent PLEs reported more hallucinations during adolescence than those with temporary symptoms. These findings suggest that early occurrence of PLEs is an important and independent predictor of future PLEs.

Summary: This study found a positive relationship between sexual orientation and psychotic experiences in the general population in England, with underlying mechanisms involving borderline personality disorder traits, loneliness, and stressful life events. Future longitudinal studies are needed to further explore these factors in the association between sexual orientation and psychotic experiences.

Summary: Children exposed to socioenvironmental adversities are more likely to develop subclinical psychotic experiences during adolescence. This association is partly explained by cognitive ability and inflammation.

Summary: This study investigates the potential of plasma proteomic biomarkers in predicting transition to psychotic disorder in at-risk individuals and adolescent psychotic experiences in the general population. Models based on proteomic data showed excellent predictive performance in high-risk individuals and fair performance in the general population. Predictive models using proteomic biomarkers could contribute to personalized prognosis and stratification strategies for those at risk of psychosis.

Summary: This study examines the associations between sleep disturbance and psychotic-like experiences (PLEs) in adolescents. The results show that sleep disturbance and sleep deprivation are significantly associated with PLEs, and they also predict the new onset and persistence of PLEs.

Summary: NK cells acquire memory-like properties following stimulation with IL-12, IL-15 and IL-18, and these cytokine-induced memory-like NK cells have shown promising potential in cancer immunotherapy. NK cells modulate their metabolism in response to cytokine-stimulation, with a link between metabolism and cellular functions.

Summary: This study examines the mediating role of problematic smartphone use (PSU) in the relationship between suicidal ideation (SI) and positive psychotic experiences (PEs) in young adults. The findings suggest that PSU is significantly associated with both SI and PEs. Therefore, addressing PSU can be an important target for preventing and intervening in psychosis, especially among vulnerable young people with suicidal ideation.

Summary: Research suggests a bidirectional longitudinal relationship between psychotic-like experiences (PLEs) and self-injurious thoughts and behaviors (SITBs) in adolescents. Psychological distress (PD) may play a particular role when self-injurious thoughts are followed by PLEs. Understanding the relationship between these factors is important for timely interventions for mental disorders and suicide.

Summary: The study found that sibling bullying is associated with psychotic-like experiences in children and adolescents, with verbal victimization being the most important risk factor in developing different subtypes of PLEs. Intervention programs should target those involved in multiple types of sibling victimization or perpetration.

Summary: In this study, we examined the associations between gestational PFAS exposure and DNA methylation levels at birth and in adolescence using longitudinal data. The results showed that gestational PFAS exposure was associated with differences in several CpG sites at birth and at 12 years of age, which were linked to genes associated with PFAS-related health outcomes.

Summary: Early intervention for individuals with an at-risk mental state (ARMS) can prevent the onset of psychosis. However, little is known about how these patients are identified and managed in UK primary and secondary care. This study found that patients with ARMS symptoms were often referred to well-being services before being assessed by Early Intervention (EI) teams.

Summary: Adolescence is a crucial period for exploring gender identity, and gender minority individuals are vulnerable to mental health problems due to stigmatization. A study found that gender minority students had significantly higher odds of experiencing depressive symptoms, anxiety, and auditory hallucinations compared to cisgender students. Therefore, appropriate support and services should be provided to address the mental health needs of gender minority high-school students.

Summary: We developed a retrospective Clinical Interview Schedule Revised (rCIS-R) to assess depression relapse in the previous 12 weeks, and found that it has excellent test-retest reliability and construct validity. The rCIS-R can be used in randomized controlled trials due to its simplicity and self-report format.

Summary: This study aimed to analyze referrals in the neurological ward and assess the impact of intervention education on the diagnosis and treatment of delirium. The study found that the majority of referrals in the initial audit were for mood issues, with a small portion for delirium. After the intervention education, there was an increase in the proportion of delirium referrals and diagnoses.

Summary: This study investigated the association between change in BMI from childhood to adolescence and the development of psychopathology in adolescence. The results showed that changing from a healthy BMI to overweight significantly increased the risk of psychopathology, while changing from overweight or underweight to healthy BMI significantly reduced the risk. Therefore, helping children restore a healthy BMI may reduce their risk of developing psychopathology in adolescence.
