Sample-Size Planning for Frequentist and Bayesian 2 × 2 Analysis-of-Variance Designs
Sample-size justification is an essential aspect of rigorous research in the behavioral and social sciences and helps to ensure studies are adequately powered, minimize resource waste, and reduce participant burden. However, researchers often face challenges in navigating the array of sample-size-planning methods available, particularly when balancing inferential goals and statistical frameworks. The SampleSizePlanner (SSP), originally developed …
Irony comprehension in first-degree relatives of patients with bipolar affective disorder – a preliminary fMRI study
First-degree relatives of bipolar patients showed altered brain activity patterns during irony comprehension tasks, despite comparable behavioral performance. The observed neural patterns could indicate alternative cognitive strategies or latent vulnerability markers, underscoring the need for further multimodal investigation. Altered neural activation during irony processing may serve as an endophenotypic marker for bipolar disorder. Future rese…
Elevated monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio, C-reactive protein and further inflammatory parameters as potential biomarkers of suicide risk in bipolar I disorder
Suicide is an unresolved issue in psychiatry to this day. Suicide risk (SR) is particularly high for psychiatric patients with bipolar I disorder (BD). Recent studies suggest an immunological dysregulation in the background. In our retrospective study, we investigated laboratory parameters of BD in-patients ( n = 116) between January 2020 and June 2024. Data was collected regarding the following parameters: white blood cell, neutrophil, lymphocyt…
Investigation of peripheral inflammatory biomarkers in association with suicide risk in major depressive disorder
Suicide is the most severe complication of major depressive disorder (MDD). Novel research assumes the role of immunological dysregulation in the background - several studies have reported alterations in the number of inflammatory cells related to both MDD and suicidality. There are currently no objective, routinely measured parameters to indicate suicidal vulnerability. However, altered inflammatory cell numbers and ratios have been proposed as …
Anti-Neuronal Autoantibodies (Cell Surface and Onconeural) and Their Association With Natural Autoantibodies in Synthetic Cannabinoid-Induced Psychosis
Patients suffering from encephalitis may present psychiatric symptoms; however, the clinical relevance of anti-neuronal antibodies in patients experiencing a psychotic episode without encephalitis is still unclear. In this study, we examined the presence of anti-neuronal cell surface autoantibodies and onconeural autoantibodies in serum samples of 22 synthetic cannabinoid users presenting with psychosis. We found only two positive cases; however,…
A community-sourced glossary of open scholarship terms
Open scholarship has transformed research, and introduced a host of new terms in the lexicon of researchers. The ‘Framework for Open and Reproducible Research Teaching’ (FORRT) community presents a crowdsourced glossary of open scholarship terms to facilitate education and effective communication between experts and newcomers

Increased Prevalence of Minor Physical Anomalies Among the Healthy First-Degree Relatives of Bipolar I Patients – Results With the Méhes Scale
Minor physical anomalies are somatic markers of aberrant neurodevelopment, so the higher prevalence of these signs among the relatives of bipolar I patients can confirm minor physical anomalies as endophenotypes. The aim of the study was to evaluate the prevalence of minor physical anomalies in first-degree healthy relatives of patients with bipolar I disorder compared to normal control subjects. Using a list of 57 minor physical anomalies (the M…
Elevated Osteopontin and Interferon Gamma Serum Levels and Increased Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio Are Associated With the Severity of Symptoms in Schizophrenia
Inflammation and immune dysregulation could contribute to the pathogenesis of schizophrenia. Osteopontin (OPN) is a cytokine-like glycoprotein involved in inflammation and in modulating immune responses, and it can also directly modify the cytokine expression and survival of microglia. Furthermore, elevated gene expression of OPN in first episode psychosis has recently been described, but to date OPN level has not been investigated in schizophren…
The Psychometric Properties of the Hypersexual Behavior Inventory Using a Large-Scale Nonclinical Sample
The conceptualization of hypersexuality has begun to converge as a result of proposed diagnostic criteria. However, its measurement is still diverse. The Hypersexual Behavior Inventory (HBI) is one of the most appropriate scales used to assess hypersexuality, but further examination is needed to test its psychometric properties among different clinical and nonclinical groups, including samples outside of the United States. The aim of the present …
Hearing visuo-tactile synchrony - Sound-induced proprioceptive drift in the invisible hand illusion
The rubber hand illusion (RHI) and its variant the invisible hand illusion (IHI) are useful for investigating multisensory aspects of bodily self-consciousness. Here, we explored whether auditory conditioning during an RHI could enhance the trisensory visuo-tactile-proprioceptive interaction underlying the IHI. Our paradigm comprised of an IHI session that was followed by an RHI session and another IHI session. The IHI sessions had two parts pres…
