Extractions: pdf version At first glance, schizophrenia may seem like a great puzzle. Its causes are still uncertain; its symptoms, variable. Striking most often in the 16 to 30 year age group, affecting an estimated one person in a hundred, it is youth's greatest disabler. But if it is a puzzle, it's one that is slowly being solved. New pieces are continually falling into place. Consider what we have learned about its symptoms. SYMPTOMS OF SCHIZOPHRENIA Schizophrenia often starts slowly. When the symptoms first appear, usually in adolescence or early adulthood, they may seem more bewildering than serious. In the early stages, people with schizophrenia may find themselves losing the ability to relax, concentrate or sleep. They may start to shut long-time friends out of their lives. Work or school begins to suffer; so does their personal appearance. During this time, there may be one or more episodes where they talk in ways that may be difficult to understand and/or start having unusual perceptions.

Extractions: Inside DrKoop News Archive Animations Health Videos Health Tools ... Newsletters Injury Disease Nutrition Poison ... Prevention Definition: Schizophrenia is a serious brain disorder. It is a disease that makes it difficult for a person to tell the difference between real and unreal experiences, to think logically, to have normal emotional responses to others, and to behave normally in social situations. Causes, incidence, and risk factors: Schizophrenia is a complex and puzzling illness. Even the experts in the field are not exactly sure what causes it. Some doctors think that the brain may not be able to process information correctly. Genetic factors appear to play a role, as people who have family members with schizophrenia may be more likely to get the disease themselves. Some researchers believe that events in a person's environment may trigger schizophrenia. For example, problems during intrauterine development (infection) and birth may increase the risk for developing schizophrenia later in life. Psychological and social factors may also play some role in its development. However, the level of social and familial support appears to influence the course of illness and may be protective against relapse.
The Prefrontal Cortex And Schizophrenia

http://apu.sfn.org/content/Publications/BrainBriefings/schizophrenia.html

Extractions: Full size image available below The Prefrontal Cortex and Schizophrenia Human brain scans and animal studies have linked working memory, a critical function that goes awry in schizophrenia, to a brain region called the prefrontal cortex. Scientists have now identified structural abnormalities in this region that may contribute to the loss of brain function seen in schizophrenia. These findings may lead to new ways of treating or preventing this devastating disease. For years, the severe disturbances in thinking, social behavior and emotion associated with schizophrenia, which affects two million Americans, were attributed to some personality flaw or demon. Many felt the disease could not be treated.

UCLA Center For Research On Treatment & Rehabilitation Of Psychosis
Provides research services and consultation to investigators pursuing studies of severe mental illnesses, including schizophrenia.
http://www.npi.ucla.edu/irc/

Extractions: The Center has operated continuously since 1977 with funding from the National Institute of Mental Health. The Center's faculty are a cohesive, multidisciplinary team who have worked together for more than two decades on the problem and unanswered questions posed by schizophrenia understanding its root causes and the determinants of its subsequent course and outcome, developing and evaluating improved methods of treatment and rehabilitation. The IRC, now entering its 23 rd year, is made up of core research Units that provide infrastructure support to a large number of extramurally funded research projects, generate new interdisciplinary research on interventions for psychosis, develop new interventions, assessments and research tools, and provide assistance and consultation to a national and international network of colleagues. New research initiatives are stimulated by an IRC program of seed money support for pilot studies, and by ongoing multidisciplinary Theme Teams, small working groups organized around significant research topics. The primary mission of our Intervention Research Center is to contribute to the goals of recovery from and prevention of psychosis and other disabling mental disorders. Even though the underlying etiology of serious mental disorders is not known, we can set ourselves the task of learning more about the interventions, risk and protective factors, and markers of vulnerability to schizophrenia and related disorders that will gradually make a difference in recovery from these disorders and eventually make prevention possible.

Extractions: Schizophrenia Guide By Grace Tsai, Ph. D. This is a time of hope for people with schizophrenia and their families. Research is gradually leading to new and safer medications and unraveling the complex causes of the disease. Scientists are using many approaches from the study of molecular genetics to the study of populations to learn about schizophrenia. Methods of imaging the brain's structure and function hold the promise of new insights into the disorder. Click on the links below to learn more about schizophrenia:

Generic forms of clozapine are marketed by Zenith Goldline and Mylan Pharmaceuticals. Clozaril /Clozapine tablets 25 mg Generic name = clozapine What is the most important information I should know about Clozaril? Do not stop taking clozaril or change your dose without first talking with your health care provider. Clozapine may reduce the incidence of alcohol and drug use - possibly know as they make decisions. What is Clozaril? Clozaril is an atypical antipsychotic medication for patients with treatment-resistant schizophrenia. Approved by the FDA for general use in the U.S. in 1990, the medication is used for patients with schizophrenia and other mental disorders who have not responded well to standard antipsychotic medications or who have had intolerable side effects to them. In December 2002, clozaril was also approved for reducing the risk of recurring suicidal behavior in people with schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder. Clozaril is also being studied for the treatment of bipolar disorder that has not responded to other treatments. In schizophrenia, clozaril is useful for treating positive symptoms such as hallucinations, delusions, bizarre behavior and hostility. It also treats the negative symptoms-withdrawal, blunted emotions, lack of motivation, and inability to experience pleasure or enjoyment. Negative symptoms seem to respond better to clozaril than to the traditional antipsychotics.

David A. Krebes' Personal Home Page
Includes a thesis work on knot theory and information on schizophrenia.
http://www.telusplanet.net/public/dkrebes

Extractions: Dave Krebes // text for first two pictures I have devoted much of my life to the study of knots . In my Ph.D. thesis (math), I show that a seamless unknotted loop (circle) of rope cannot be twisted, contorted or deformed in such a way as to intersect the interior of a sphere in the pair of arcs shown in the first picture (this is commonly known as a square knot). Equivalently: If a curve intersects the interior of a sphere in a square knot then it is genuinely knotted (ie. unalterably different from a circle). For example in the second picture the loop (follow it around it is indeed a single loop) is knotted: A long rubber band cannot be manipulated into this shape without breaking it and gluing the ends back together. We call this a "topological" property of the square knot because it is a geometric property that is independent of lengths, angles, or rate of curvature (The size of the circle doesn't matter. In fact even an ellipse or a heart shape would do). The mathematical field of "algebraic topology", one of the great scientific achievements of the twentieth century, expresses many such properties in terms of boundaries As another exercise, try showing that if you replace each of the two strands of the square knot with two strands that run side-by-side like a pair of railroad tracks through the sphere, for four strands in total, then the situation is opposite to that described above: There is indeed such a disc, or a way to "tie" ("wrap" might be a better word; there are no free ends to tie with) the circle.
