  ALTERED SUBCELLULAR DISTRIBUTION OF DISC1, CAMP LEVELS, AND NEURONAL MIGRATION IN SCHIZOPHRENIA AND BIPOLAR DISORDER
DISC1 (disrupted-in-schizophrenia-1) is considered a genetic risk factor for neuropsychiatric disorders. In this study, analysis in human olfactory neuronal precursors of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder patients showed decreased DISC1 levels in the cytoplasm, cAMP accumulation and diminished cell migration. The results suggest that these disorders share common molecular pathways that could hinder the neurodevelopmental process.

  PSYCHIATRIC MORBIDITY IN IDIOPATHIC TRANSVERSE MYELITIS
Consecutive patients with idiopathic transverse myelitis and first-episode stroke (30 each) underwent two-stage screening for psychiatric morbidity. A high prevalence of psychological distress, psychiatric morbidity (principally major depression), and cognitive impairment was found in idiopathic TM, comparable to that found among patients with stroke. This morbidity was associated with greater disability.

  RISK FACTORS ASSOCIATED WITH RECURRENT STROKES IN YOUNG AND ELDERLY PATIENTS
The independent predictive risk factors of recurrent stroke differ between young and older stroke patients. Our study reconfirmed that a history of IS or TIA was a strong independent prognostic factor for stroke recurrence, suggesting that the prevention and treatment of these conditions .
