Psychopathological dimensions in schizophrenia: a correlational approach to items of the SANS and SAPS

Psychiatry Research

Abstract

Seventy DSM-III schizophrenic patients were assessed for positive and negative symptoms using Andreasen's scales for the assessment of positive and negative symptoms (SANS and SAPS) on admission. The correlation structure of the items in the SANS and SAPS was explored in dimension and item levels by use of correlation plots through a distinct analytical method displaying the proximity matrix. The results revealed at least three major dimensions of symptoms delineated as Negative Symptoms, Disorganized Thoughts and Delusions and Hallucinations. The latter two dimensions were derived from the SAPS, while Negative Symptoms comprised most of the items in the SANS. Items in Disorganized Thoughts were more correlated to Negative Symptoms than to the other items in the SAPS. 'Loss of ego boundary' delusions and experience of auditory hallucinations appeared as two sub-clusters in the group of Delusions and Hallucinations. The relative independence of persecutory, grandiose, religious, somatic and reference delusions gives support to the concept that paranoid schizophrenia stands as a distinct clinical subtype of schizophrenia. The graphical method introduced here well expresses the information of correlation matrix and is useful for e...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
