Bipolar disorder in an evolutionary framework
susceptibility, the combined polygenic signal of common variants accounts for 25% of the genetic variance in BD. Furthermore, 70% of this variance is shared with schizophrenia (33). From an evolutionary perspective, the highly polygenic architecture of bipolar disorder may also be interpreted as compatible with models of balancing selection acting on temperamental traits within the population. Rather than reflecting a single pathogenic pathway, t…

Multiphasic Personality Assessment in a Case Series of Adolescent Patients with Suicidal Ideation and/or Attempts
Suicide is an important public health issue. To examine the differences in personality characteristics between a group of adolescents with suicidal ideation (SI) and a group with a history of suicidal attempts (SA), we conducted a cross-sectional study. We enrolled 55 adolescents (51 females; 12-18 y.o.) who presented SI and/or SA. Using the Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale, we divided the sample into two groups: adolescents with SI and ado…
Endoscope-Assisted Extreme Lateral Supracerebellar Infratentorial Approach for Resection of Superior Cerebellar Peduncle Pilocytic Astrocytoma
(1) Background: Superior cerebellar peduncle (SCP) lesions are sparsely reported in the literature. The surgical approaches to the cerebello-mesencephalic region remain challenging. In this article, we present the extreme lateral supracerebellar infratentorial (ELSI) approach to treat a large hemorrhagic pilocytic astrocytoma of the SCP. (2) Methods: An 11-year-old boy, known for neurofibromatosis Type I, presented to the emergency department of …
Living With Bipolar Disorder in the Time of Covid-19
Background: Restrictions during Covid-19 pandemic lockdown, in which rhythms of life have been compromised, can influence the course of bipolar disorder (BD). This study follows patients with bipolar disorder living in two geographically close cities (Cagliari and Tunis), but with different lockdown conditions: less severe in Tunis. Methods: Two cohorts were evaluated during lockdown (April 2020, t0) and 2 months later with lockdown lifted for a …
