Un posible marcador de rasgo y estado en el Trastorno Bipolar: el Electrorretinograma-Patrón
2022
Introducción. La similitud entre las células retinianas y las neuronas del sistema nervioso central permite que métodos no invasivos de estudio de la función retiniana, como el Electrorretinograma- Patrón (PERG) se postulen como posibles biomarcadores, útiles y seguros en el estudio de patologías psiquiátricas como el Trastorno Bipolar (TB). El objetivo del presente estudio es caracterizar las diferencias en los resultados en el PERG de pacientes con TB y sujetos sanos, así como evaluar una posible correlación entre estos resultados y las descompensaciones afectivas del polo maniaco en el grupo de pacientes bipolares. Material y métodos. Se realizó un estudio transversal en una muestra de 3…
Nuevos eutimizantes y ciclo reproductivo

Introduction. The use of new mood stabilizers in the treatment of bipolar disorder has supposed a revolution, especially due to its more favorable profile in many aspects. Nevertheless, therapeutic decisions on treatment during pregnancy and the breastfeeding period are still being debated.

A Medline and Embase search was conducted from 1970 to 2003 to review the articles published on the use of the new mood stabilizers during pregnancy and breastfeeding, and its effects on contraception.

Modulation of higher-order olfaction components on executive functions in humans
2015
The prefrontal (PFC) and orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) appear to be associated with both executive functions and olfaction. However, there is little data relating olfactory processing and executive functions in humans. The present study aimed at exploring the role of olfaction on executive functioning, making a distinction between primary and more cognitive aspects of olfaction. Three executive tasks of similar difficulty were used. One was used to assess hot executive functions (Iowa Gambling Task-IGT), and two as a measure of cold executive functioning (Stroop Colour and Word Test-SCWT and Wisconsin Card Sorting Test-WCST). Sixty two healthy participants were included: 31 with normosmia and …

The prevalence of bipolar disorders in the general population - a growing trending topic?
2015
report the first meta-analysis of theprevalence of bipolar disorder (BD) from population-based studies. Strengths of the manuscript include theuse of suitable methods of analysis, reporting both annualand lifetime prevalence rates, and providing separatedata for bipolar subtypes I and II. The latter is relevantbecause type II is not simply a milder or minor form of BD.This publication is of considerable interest, firstlybecause it confirms that the frequency of BD in thegeneral population is low and closer to the conservativeestimates of 1-2%, as suggested by historical data.
First-Episode Psychotic Patients Showed Longitudinal Brain Changes Using fMRI With an Emotional Auditory Paradigm
2020
[EN] Most previous longitudinal studies of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) in first-episode psychosis (FEP) using cognitive paradigm task found an increased activation after antipsychotic medications. We designed an emotional auditory paradigm to explore brain activation during emotional and nonemotional word processing. This study aimed to analyze if longitudinal changes in brain fMRI BOLD activation is present in patients vs. healthy controls. A group of FEP patients (n = 34) received clinical assessment and had a fMRI scan at baseline and follow-up (average, 25-month interval). During the fMRI scan, both emotional and nonemotional words were presented as a block design. Resu…

La formación del residente de psiquiatría: Intervenciones educativas para un mejor dominio y manejo clínico en psicofarmacología y salud mental
2023
INTRODUCCIÓN La psicofarmacología es un aspecto clave en la formación de los residentes de psiquiatría debido a que es una de las principales formas de tratamiento de los trastornos mentales. También ha tenido impacto en la investigación y en la conceptualización de estos trastornos y en la identidad profesional de los psiquiatras. Las unidades docentes tienen la responsabilidad social de formar psiquiatras altamente competentes en esta área (entre otras). Pese a ello, no existe un consenso sobre qué estrategias educativas son las más adecuadas para aprender/enseñar psicofarmacología y el programa nacional de la especialidad no da directrices al respecto. OBJETIVOS 1) Identificar y sintetiz…
