“…While there are many studies about oxidative stress in pathogenesis of psoriasis and psychiatric disorders separately [44], the effect of depression on oxidative system in 39 psoriasis patients and 25 healthy controls was evaluated by Karababa et al Psoriasis patients' HADS scores, TOS and OSI levels were significantly higher; just TAS levels were significantly lower than controls. Presence of depression did not have a significant effect on TAS, TOS and OSI levels of psoriasis patients but significantly affected TAS and OSI levels in healthy controls [54].…”

Objectives: Psoriasis is a chronic, inflammatory skin disease which has been linked to psychopathology. Oxidative stress and inflammation are associated with atherogenesis and neuronal stress thus, cognitive functions might be impaired in psoriasis patients. We aimed to compare psychiatric comorbidity, neurocognitive functions, oxidative stress and inflammatory cytokine levels in psoriasis patients with healthy controls, besides to evaluate the effect of oxidative stress and inflammation on comorbidity and cognitive functions in psoriasis patients. Methods: A total of 37 patients (11 male and 26 female) aged between 18 and 65 years with at least 5 years of education who applied to the Dermatology Outpatient Clinic of the study hospital between study period; diagnosed with psoriasis by physical examination and histopathological evaluation were included in the study. The control group was formed from healthy individuals working for the hospital. Sociodemographic data form, Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), Semantic Verbal Fluency Test (K-AS), Öktem Verbal Memory Processes Test, Auditory Consonant Trigram Test and Wisconsin Card Sorting Test were performed to all participants. In addition, blood samples of participants were analysed to assess total oxidant stress (TOS), total antioxidant status (TAS), oxidative stress index (OSI) and proinflammatory cytokines TNF-α and IL-6 levels. Results: BDI and BAI scores, TOS, OSI, TNF-α and IL-6 levels of psoriasis patients were significantly higher than controls. Besides, the cognitive domains of learning, recall and verbal fluency in psoriasis patients were shown to be impaired. The increased levels of depression and anxiety in psoriasis did not significantly affect the serum TAS, TOS and OSI levels. Increased IL-6 and TNF-α levels were not significantly related to depression in patients with psoriasis. Conclusion: Psoriasis patients have higher risk factors than healthy controls for cognitive impairment, independent of depression, inflammation and oxidative stress levels.

Associations of psychiatric symptoms and neurocognition with clinical insight in schizophreniaObjective: It is important to understand the etiology of impaired insight in schiophrenia in order to develop effective interventions to improve disorder awareness, treatment adherence, and recovery outcomes. The current study aims to explore the relationship of clinical domains and neurocognitive functions with different dimensions of clinical insight among patients with schizophrenia.Methods: A total of 59 patients who met the diagnostic criteria for schizophrenia according to DSM-5 were recruited in the study. All patients were receiving outpatient treatment and were in fairly stable clinical conditions as defined by the absence of hospitalizations or changes in medication within the last three months. Patients were evaluated by Positive and Negative Symptoms Scale (PANSS), Scale to Assess Unawareness of Mental Disorder (SUMD), The Wisconsin Cart Sorting Test (WCST), Stroop-Test, Auditory Consonant Trigram Test (ACT) and Trail Making Test (TMT).Results: Mean age was 41.1±10.3 years. Of the total 59 patients, 71.2% (n=42) were male and 28.8% (n=17) were female. Mean age of onset for illness was 24.6±7.6 years, mean duration of illness was 16.5±9.4 years and mean number of hospitalizations was 2.6±2.8. According to our findings, PANSS positive and general scores were predictors for SUMD-total score, PANSS general score and duration of illness were predictors for SUMD-awareness of mental illness score, PANSS positive and general scores were predictors for SUMDawareness of the need for treatment score, PANSS general score and age of onset of schizophrenia were predictors for SUMD-awareness of the social consequences of disorder score. Sonuç: Klinik içgörü ile ilişkili olabilecek etkenlerin değerlendirildiği bu çalışmada, şizofreni hastalarında klinik içgörünün pozitif ve genel semptomlarla ilişkili olduğu ancak, negatif semptomlar ve nörokognitif bozulma ile ilişkili olmadığı saptanmıştır.
