EDITOR’S CHOICE ARTICLE – MR Spectroscopy Findings of the Basal Ganglia in Bipolar Disorders: a Systematic Review

 

Journal Name: Current Psychiatry Reviews

Author(s): Hanjing Emily Wu*, Tomas Melicher, Bo Cao, Marsal Sanches, Jeffrey A. Stanley, Giovana Zunta-Soares, Benson Mwangi, Jair C. Soares.

Graphical Abstract:

Abstract:

Objective: Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS) is a noninvasive in vivo technique extensively applied to assess the levels of neural metabolites in the brain. We aimed to summarize the findings of proton spectroscopy (1H MRS) studies addressing neuro-metabolite findings in the Basal Ganglia (BG) of patients with Bipolar Disorders (BD).

Method: A search of PubMed and Ovid databases was conducted to identify ¹H MRS studies since 1990 reporting N-acetylaspartate (NAA), phosphocholine plus glycerophosphocholine (PC+GPC), and creatine plus phosphocreatine (Cr+PCr) levels in the BG of patients with BD.

Results: Ten original studies were included in this review. Three studies involved BD patients with depressed mood, six studied euthymic BD patients, and one study looked at manic subjects. In depressed BD patients, three studies reported elevated PC+GPC and Cr+PCr levels in the caudate and putamen. NAA levels were found to be elevated in two of the studies, while one reported no change. In euthymic BD patients, five studies reported no group differences with respect to any metabolites, and one study found differences in PC+GPC/Cr+PCr associated with lithium treatment. In mania, lower PC+GPC, lower NAA levels, and increased Cr+PCr levels were described in the caudate of BD patients compared to HC.

Conclusion: This review suggests that abnormalities in NAA, GPC+PC, and Cr+PCr levels in the BG might be associated with mood state among BD patients. In addition, the methodological issues involved in the heterogeneity of 1H MRS findings in BD, as well as the potential role of 1H MRS findings as biomarkers for BD, are discussed.

PRESS RELEASE – Comparison of the health determinants of the people in the greater mekong subregion (GMS)

This article by Dr. Kanjanee Phanphairoj and Dr. Ritzmond Loa is published in Current Psychiatry Reviews, Volume 13, 2017

The health of the population and the health service system are influenced by many factors, known as health determinants. Dahlgren and Whitehead’s (1992) model of the determinants of health describe the conditions that function within the individual and in society. Thus, understanding the determinants of the health service system and the health status of the people is essential in order to develop policies and programs that impact a population’s health and a country’s development.

Globally, numerous literature published has indicated the influence of health determinants on the health status of the population in each country. However, there is a dearth of literature on the influence of health determinants regarding the health service system and the health status of the people in the Greater Mekong Subregion due to their differences in terms of political, social, environmental, and economic conditions. In 1992, with the assistance of the Asian Development Bank (ADB), six countries bordering the Mekong River engaged in the Greater Mekong Subregion Economic Cooperation Program. The six countries were Cambodia, the People’s Republic of China (specifically Yunnan Province and the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region), the Lao People’s Democratic Republic, Myanmar, Thailand, and Vietnam. This program aims to support the development efforts of its member countries by promoting sub-regional cooperation in different sectors, including health. It is expected that this program will promote cooperation among its member countries in the creation of policies and programs for sustainable development.

This review paper compares the health determinants of the health service system and the health status of the people in the Greater Mekong Subregion, specifically in Thailand, the Lao PDR, Vietnam, and Cambodia, using an online search from a variety of academic databases, government databases, the World Health Organization, and a synthesis of previous studies. Moreover, this paper recommends policies that impact the population’s health and the country’s development to guide policymakers, healthcare providers, and other stakeholders in developing comprehensive, integrated, and unified health programs for the GMS people.

For more information, the full title of the paper is “Comparison of the determinants of the health service system and the health status of the people in the Greater Mekong Subregion.”

PRESS RELEASE – Relation of key determinants affecting mental health disorders in greater mekong subregion

This article by Dr. Manndy Nget and Dr. Kasorn Muijeen is published in Current Psychiatry Reviews, Volume 13, 2017

 

ASEAN integration is likely to bring about a substantial change to this area in the new era; it can subsequently cause many problems as well. The characteristic differences among the GMS member countries in terms of trade and investment, social and cultural values, medical information and technology, and the living and work environment have become major problems associated with mental health disorders, which are usually identified as depression, stress, and substance abuse.

This literature review aims to identify and review the relationships among the key determinants affecting the mental health disorders of the GMS people. The study showed that the increasing number of mental health disorders has become a big burden for national healthcare expenditure. Therefore, the strong relationship among mental health, mental disorders, economic status, and financial issues has been addressed in many studies. Financial issues have become a major key to the wide prevalence of mental disorders in the GMS. In addition, health issues related to mental health disorders are also caused by the environment and other related factors and therefore a stable and a well-balanced environment is an indicator of healthy mental status. Moreover, the factors contributing to mental health disorders are significantly correlated with social inequalities, whereby high social inequalities bring about extreme mental risk. The economic, healthcare, social and environment problems in the GMS area should be solved through policy development, follow-up planning, strategic implementation, and collaboration among all related sectors, especially in terms of the economy, the environment, and healthcare.

Consequently, there are four key determinants that affect people’s lives, especially in terms of mental health, thus leading to mental health disorders: 1) economic; 2) healthcare; 3) environmental; and 4) social. Globalization and urbanization should follow sustainable development suggestion and concerns about the population’s health, especially regarding mental health.

PRESS RELEASE – Mental health disorder therapeutic modalities modified for the GMS

This article by Asst. Prof. Tipsuda Sumneangsanor, Asst. Prof. Dr. Sararud Vuthiarpa, and Asst. Prof. Dr. Chomchueun Somprasert is published in Current Psychiatry Reviews, Volume 13, 2017

 

Mental health disorders can affect physical and psychological behaviors. The people of the Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS) have a high risk of mental health disorders, such as depression, stress, and substance abuse because the people in this region are sometimes trafficked for forced sex work and various forms of forced labor. In these situations, the victims often endure violence and abuse from trafficking recruiters, employers, and other individuals. The purposes of this study were to identify the elements characterizing mental health disorders, especially in terms of depression, stress, and substance abuse, and to identify treatment modalities for mental health disorders in the GMS.

A comparative analysis of the literature, reviews of epidemiological studies and mental disorder therapies, and overviews of previous research studies were used to generate a synthesis of the existing knowledge of the mental disorder therapeutic modalities. Regarding the treatments of mental health disorders that had empirical support, indicating that the treatment was effective, these included pharmacological and psychological treatments, such as mindfulness-based cognitive therapy, biofeedback, and music therapy. Useful guidance can be provided for the prevention and treatment of mental health disorders and for the care of people in the Greater Mekong Subregion, developing effective treatment strategies in daily clinical practice that will promote a better quality of life for the people of this region, and allowing them to begin to enjoy their lives again.

Although therapeutic modalities are provided in these countries, there is a barrier that needs to be solved — this barrier is the lack of trained mental health professionals to provide support and treatment. Therefore, policy should be revised and include training staff in the community to be able to provide effective interventions. Finally, therapeutic modalities can provide useful guidance for the prevention and treatment of mental health disorders and the care of the people in the Greater Mekong Subregion, while developing effective treatment strategies in daily clinical practice and promoting a better quality of life. In addition, the effective interventions should be tested regarding their suitability for the socio-cultural context of the Greater Mekong Subregion.
