TL;DR: Although hemispheric shape asymmetries appeared less pronounced within female non-dextrals, asymmetry indices were not shown to differ significantly across sex, hand preference or diagnosis, or to reveal interactions of handedness with sex or diagnosis.

TL;DR: Deficits in both domains of WM suggest abnormality in the posterior and prefrontal cortexes and are present even in unmedicated patients in the first episode of illness.

TL;DR: Overall, if the potential for akathisia is a concern, low-dose risperidone as used in this trial maybe a preferred choice over aripiprazole, but aripIPrazole would be the preferred choice in most situations based upon metabolic outcome advantages and some symptom advantages within the context of similar positive symptom response between medications.

TL;DR: To evaluate subject selection biases in clinical trials, demographic characteristics of subjects at different phases of evaluation for a multicenter maintenance trial in schizophrenia were examined and showed that selection biases would rarely change overall study outcomes to a clinically relevant degree.

TL;DR: The relationship between -141C Ins/Del (rs1799732), a functional promoter region polymorphism in DRD2, and antipsychotic-induced weight gain in first episode schizophrenia patients enrolled in a randomized trial of risperidone versus olanzapine was examined.
