Exploring the role of autistic traits in treatment-resistant and clozapine-resistant schizophrenia: a comparative study by Ahmet Selim Başaran, Nur Nihal Türkel, Buket Koparal, Aslı Kuruoğlu

“…Psychopathology was assessed using the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS), while autistic traits were measured with the PANSS Autism Severity Scale (PAUSS) and the Autism Spectrum Quotient (AQ). Multinomial logistic regression models were used to determine the predictive value of autistic traits for TRS and CRS.ResultsStatistically significant differences were identified between the groups in PAUSS (p<0.001) and AQ (p<0.001) scores, indicating variations in autistic traits. …”

Decisions to use antibiotics for upper respiratory tract infections across China: a large-scale cross-sectional survey among university students by Stephan Harbarth, Chunling Lu

“…Using regular and multinomial logistic regression a nd adapted health belief model, we identified and measured a number of variables as potential risk factors for antibiotic misuse behaviours in order to explain and predict people’s treatment decisions and antibiotic use including knowledge, perceptions, access to antibiotics and cues to action.Results Of the 2834 university students who self-diagnosed a URTI, 947 (33.4%) self-reported having taken antibiotics; among them, 462 (48.8%) used non-prescription antibiotics, which came principally from left-over prescriptions (29.0%) and over-the-counter purchases at retail pharmacies (67.3%). …”
