Alexithymia was measured by Toronto Alexithymia Scale-20 (TAS-20), suicidal ideation was measured by Suicidal İdeation Scale (SIS), social anxiety levels were evaluated with Liebowitz Social Anxiety Scale (LSAS), and anxiety and depression levels were evaluated with Beck Depression (BDI) and Beck Anxiety (BAI), State and Trait Anxiety Scales (STAI I-II)
Among the potential pathophysiological mechanisms implicated in Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) is the excitation/inhibition (E/I) imbalance which might result from alterations in excitatory/inhibitory synapse development, synaptic transmission and plasticity, downstream signalling pathways, and intrinsic neuronal excitability
This cohort report is important because of its potential to give a new direction to studies that aim at the management of ASD, which has come to the occasion like this
Summary
Dementias and osteoporosis are both common at the same ages. There is some evidence, albeit weak, that women with osteoporosis are under increased risk of developing dementia. In the present case–control study, we examined whether older adults having dementia had different bone density measures and osteoporosis prevalence compared to non-demented individuals. Controlled for age and gender, demented patients had similar bone density at spine with that of non-demented individuals [F(1,358) = 0.83, p = 363]; but, femur total bone density [F(1,359) = 10.26, p = 0.001] and femur neck bone density [F(1,359) = 15.21, p < 0.001] were lower. When only a femoral neck T score ≤−2.5 was taken as diagnostic, prevalence of osteoporosis in the demented group was significantly higher (25.8% vs 15.9%, p = 0.034). Conclusion: The present study showed evidence of lower bone mass in patients with dementia which was prominent in the femur region. The results suggest that patients with osteoporosis may be under increased risk of developing hip fractures due to worse femur bone density
