Authors: Kocharian O. , Gryganska I. 
Published: July 2013

Gender functioning is based on structural specifics in gender-role personality organization. Different gender-role patterns were described determining masculinity (M) and femininity (F) specific relations. Androgyny pattern shows basis for personality full- grown functioning.Discrepancies in androgyny understanding:1)level-sensitive - high parameters and masculinity;2)structural - masculinity and femininity independence. No methodology for androgyny structural diagnosis.Tasks:1)to reveal age-associated mechanism in gender-role patterns change;2)to develop structural pattern diagnosis methodology.AimsTo show gender-role pattern age-specificity.Methods1)S. Bem questionnaire2)gender-role A.B. Heilbrun ACL-scale3)above mentioned scale modified by A. KocharianResultsSex-linked dynamics of gender-role pattern formation in ontogenesis has been revealed. Continual-alternative pattern is normal for boys up to 15-16-year age when M and F exclude one another. Correct passage of masculine filters ensures boy’s “breakaway” from “almighty mother” and leads in adolescence to “male chauvinism” phenomenon that performs healthy development. Similar aged girls show continual-adjunctive pattern with no M and F exclusion. Masculinity gives girl certain advantages and normally doesn’t exclude femininity features generation. Since 15-16-year age both sexes demonstrate androgyny pattern formation. This is regular for population of Ukraine while deviations predispose to problems in partner communication.The developed methodology allows to evaluate actual type of gender-role personality pattern.Conclusions1)age-associated dynamics of structural gender-role personality patterns formation exists, deviations are serious prerequisites for partner communication problems;2)this dynamics is sex-linked;3)special developed psychometric scale allows to evaluate actual type of gender-role personality pattern.

Published: July 2013

IntroductionCognitive deficit in endogenous mental disorders in children and adolescents is studied less than in adults, particularly age of onset influence. There is very few data about the connection between degree of cognitive deficit and age of psychiatric illness onset in children and adolescents. It’s difficult to determine the specificity of cognitive deficits depending on the clinical form of endogenous mental disorders (schizophrenia).Objectives93 patients (11.8 ± 2.3 years) with childhood schizophrenia (F20.8, 26 patients), schizotypical disorders (F21, 59 patients), unspecified schizophrenia (F2x.x, 8 patients). We used adaptation of ICD-10 for RF.AimsAssessment of degree of cognitive deficit relative to age of onset and diagnosis.MethodsTests assessing cognitive processes: memory, attention, thinking. Z-scales were used for estimation of cognitive deficit.ResultsAge of onset was divided into three periods: early, preschool and school age. The least degree of all cognitive functions occurs in patients with school age of onset. F20.8 and F2x.x with early and preschool age of onset have severe thinking deficit.F21 demonstrates decreasing of cognitive deficit degrees in all functions with increasing of age of onset. Degree of cognitive deficit is connected with clinical diagnosis. Patients with F20.8 have strong deficit in all cognitive functions (memory, attention, thinking). F21 patients demonstrate a variety of cognitive deficit degrees including age norm outstrip. F2x.x patients keep intermediate position.ConclusionsAge of onset might be important in determination of degrees of cognitive deficit. The last depends on diagnosis, age of onset & kind of cognitive process.

IntroductionMetabolic side-effects of antipsychotics increase morbidity and non-compliance rates. Interestingly, preliminary evidence suggests that metabolic side-effects correlate with response to antipsychotic treatment. Few studies have examined the nature of this association in a prospective study design. We conducted an exploratory, naturalistic, prospective, trans- diagnostic study to examine this association.ObjectiveTo study the relation between metabolic side-effects and clinical improvement with antipsychotics, in psychotic illnesses [non-affective psychoses and mania-1st episode].Methods100 (84 drug-free for at least one month) patients with psychosis initiated on antipsychotic treatment alone (65% on risperidone) were assessed on Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS), visual analogue scale for appetite, anthropometric measurements (weight, waist circumference, body mass index), and serum lipid and glucose profiles at baseline, 2-4 weeks (n = 71) and 8-12weeks (n = 39).ResultsSubjects who dropped out at first/second follow-ups did not differ from those who followed-up, in age, sex, illness duration and BPRS scores. On forward stepwise multiple linear regression analysis, early (2-4weeks) increase in appetite and triglyceride levels (R2 = 0.257; p = 0.003) together predicted 26% variance in treatment response (BPRS score reduction) at first follow-up. At second follow-up 16% of variance in treatment response was predicted by early (2-4 weeks) increase in triglyceride levels (R2 = 0.169; p = 0.009) alone.ConclusionsEarly appetite and triglyceride changes predicted antipsychotic treatment response. Future research should(a)examine neural mechanisms that operate in both appetite regulation and antipsychotic action to further the understanding of psychosis and its treatment, and(b)identify early markers of treatment response

IntroductionPrevious studies have shown that the polymorphisms in COMT gene and environmental factors affect the risk of drug dependence, but there’s no research shown in relapse of heroin dependence, and the mechanism underlying remains uncertain.ObjectiveExamine the interaction between allelic variants of the catechol-O- methlytransferase (COMT) gene and environmental factors (encountering drug-related environmental situations, social support) in contribution to relapse in heroin dependence.AimsConstruct the gene-environment interaction model in order to understand the mechanism for relapse in heroin dependence.MethodsThe 249 heroin dependent subjects who followed up at one year after abstinent by using the natural history interview (NHI), social support rateing Scale (SSRS), and other questionnaires were genotyped for eight tagging single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) on the COMT gene. General Multifactor Dimensionality Reduction (GMDR) was used to construct the gene-environment interaction model which impacting relapse in heroin dependence.ResultsThe relapse group had higher frequencies of encountering drug-related environment (EDE) and G allele and GG genotype frequencies on COMT gene rs4680 locus and less Social Support Scale scores than that in the abstinence group. Logistic regression analysis showed that encountering more drug-related environment and GG genotype carriers were the risk factors for relapse in heroin dependence. GMDR analysis showed that the COMT gene was interact with the frequency of EDE and social support level to impact the relapse in heroin dependence.ConclusionsGene-environment interaction between COMT gene and the frequency of EDE and social support were related to heroin dependence relapse.
1356 – Early Attrition And Remission Outcomes Of Depression: An 18-month Nationwide Population-based Study
Authors: Liu S.-K. , Pan Y.-R. , Yeh L.-L. 
Published: July 2013

BackgroundAttrition can pose significant barriers to treatment success of depression; its contributing factors and impacts on treatment outcome need further clarification. Current study aimed to describe patterns of treatment attrition, to examine associated demographic and clinical determinants and to test whether and how attrition affects outcome of depression in a national cohort of adults treated for depression.Material and methodsAll adult patients prescribed with antidepressants for depression (n=216,557) in 2003 were identified from the National Health Insurance Research Database in Taiwan. Based on individuals’ clinical visit and antidepressant prescription, three attrition types, i.e., non-attrition, returning attrition and non-returning attrition, and their demographic/disease characteristics were identified. The relationships between attrition type and remission outcome over an 18-month follow-up period were further explored.ResultsFactors pertaining to disease characteristics (severity of depression, comorbidities, painful physical symptoms and past treatment history) and clinical practice (physician specialty and choice of antidepressants) were associated with attrition and remission outcome at 18-month follow-up. Patients remaining in treatment within the first three months were associated with higher odds of having sustained remission (OR=1.21; 99% CI: 1.16, 1.27) and lower odds of having relapses/recurrences (OR=0.20; 99% CI: 0.19, 0.21) over the 18-month period, compared to those returning attriters.ConclusionsEarly attrition has significant negative impacts on antidepressant treatment outcome; it hence needs to be minimized through shared decision-making, exchange of treatment preferences and proper patient-physician communication. Based on current understanding, further efforts to reduce early attrition are highly warranted.

Published: July 2013

IntroductionLong acting injectable “depot” preparations of antipsychotic medications have been used as an alternative to oral medication therapy for patients with low adherence to therapy. Nowadays the use of long acting second generation antipsychotic therapy is focused on improving quality of life and patients’ subjective experience of drug therapy.Objectives and aimsTo evaluate the impact of long acting second generation antipsychotic therapy on patients’ psychopathology, quality of life, subjective experience of drug and cognitive performance.Methods20 adult male and female outpatients aged 21-53 attending the Psychiatric Unit of the University of Florence under therapy with oral second generation antipsychotics were recruited and were switched to long acting second generation antipsychotics (Zypadhera, Risperdal depot and Xeplion). Patients were assessed by means of Psychometric Tests, Neurocognitive Tests and blood tests at recruitment, after 6 months and after 12 months.ResultsA first clinical evaluation is indicating an improvement in quality of life especially regarding patients’ subjective experience of drug and a decrease of side effects like sedation and blunted affect. Furthermore, preliminary data show a reduction of bodyweight in patients who initially gained weight during oral antipsychotic therapy.ConclusionsLong acting second generation antipsychotic therapy seems to be a valid alternative in patients who have been stabilized on oral antipsychotics, since it has a similar efficacy and furthermore it offers a better quality of life by reducing side effects of oral antipsycotics.

Published: July 2013

IntroductionStandardized scales are a helpful and objective way to measure outcomes in clinical practice. However,previous surveys have revealed that only a small percentage of psychiatrists use them in clinical practice. Time-saving and cost-efficient tools are needed for daily clinical practice. A few successful experiences using online resources have been recently described and have been positively evaluated by patients. Still,it is an underdeveloped resource.Objectives1.1.Evaluate psychiatrist’s perception regarding use of scales in Spanish clinical practice facilities.2.2.Measure patient satisfaction using online tools.AimsEvaluate the need and potential use of online tools in routine clinical practice.MethodsWe conducted a survey among psychiatrists working in local clinical facilities to evaluate use of scales in daily clinical practice and their perception on the subject. We conducted a survey among patients who have used experimental online tools to evaluate their satisfaction with this method.ResultsWe wrote an email to 54 psychiatrists asking to answer an online-survey about the subject. 47 psychiatrists answered.Among them, only 40% use them always or frequently. 47% of them felt limited resources and time to administer as a difficulty to use scales. Furthermore, 34% suggested that online implementation could be helpful. 24 patients answered the satisfaction survey. 80% of them found online scales easier and more comfortable while 63% found them faster than traditional methods.ConclusionsScales are a useful and objective way to follow-up patients and evaluate clinical outcomes. However, psychiatrists find difficulties to use them in clinical practice, mainly by limited resources and time. Online implementation of scales is perceived as a potentially helpful and efficient tool for both psychiatrists and patients.

1375 – Social Distance Towards People With Mental Illness And Hiv-aids Among Nigerian Secondary School Students: a Comparative Study
Authors: Adeosun I. , Ogun O. , Bello A. 
Published: July 2013

IntroductionStigma is a formidable barrier to the treatment and rehabilitation of patients with mental illness or HIV-AIDS, even among young persons. In contrast with HIV-AIDS, efforts by Nigerian policy makers to reduce the stigma associated with mental illness are virtually non-existent. Information on the attitude of school children towards affected individuals is essential in placing the need to combat the stigma associated with these disorders in the right perspective.Objectives/aimThis study determined the social distance of a sample of secondary school students in Nigeria towards individuals with mental illness, as compared with those with HIV-AIDS.MethodA cross-sectional comparative survey. Secondary school students (n=170) in Lagos, Nigeria completed the modified Borgadus Social distance Scale.ResultsThe respondents were more likely to be socially distant from patients with mental illness than those with HIV/AIDS (p< 0.001, 95% CI, 2.56-8.24). About seven out of ten (71.8%) and 20.6% of the participants would be afraid to have a conversation with someone who has mental illness and HIV-AIDS respectively (p< 0.001). Those unwilling to be in the same classroom with a student that has mental illness and HIV/AIDS were 74.7% and 17.6% respectively (p< 0.001). Less than a tenth (9.4%) could maintain friendship with someone who has mental illness.ConclusionThe findings suggest that secondary school students in Nigeria desire a higher level of social distance from individuals with mental illness than those with HIV-AIDS. Interventions targeted at reducing the stigma associated with mental illness among school children deserve priority attention.
1377 – Guilt And Shame In Psychiatry: Phenomenological And Psychopathological Enquire
Authors: Madeira L.A. , Figueira M.L. 
Published: July 2013

IntroductionGuilt and Shame have been extensively studied and used as mechanisms for explaining many psychological phenomena. They are frequent and important human experiences and have been proposed as both adaptive and pathological in accordance to psychiatric disorders.ObjectivesThis presentation aims to review literature on guilt and shame experiences and in particular their relation to psychopathology.AimsThe first part appraises the most noticeable connections brought about by cultural settings and theological, philosophical and psychological (expressly psychoanalytical) epistemologies while intending to isolate phenomenological properties of guilt and shame. The latter will be object of a second part where there is an exploration of the possibility for a phenomenological structure of guilt and shame and the search for singularity factors.MethodsIt will review studies using the phenomenological method to decompress both experiences and specifically analyze self-experience, interpersonal experience and the experience of time during such episodes.ResultsAll previous probing will help on reviewing the possibility of guilt and shame experiences as being involved in Psychiatry and in psychopathological phenomena (rather than being used as explanatory devices)ConclusionsGuilt and shame have phenomenological similarities and singularities. As pure experiential phenomena they are still inescapable occurrences in specific psychiatric disorders while their absence also relates to other disorders.

Published: July 2013

IntroductionPatients with schizophrenia have higher cardiovascular morbidity and mortality compared to the general population. They also have high levels of cardiovascular risk factors: hypertension, smoking, raised glucose, physical inactivity, obesity and dyslipidaemia, Hypertension has significant negative effect on immediate delayed and recognition memory in these patients. However, its presence in institutionalized patients with schizophrenia has not been well studied.ObjectivesTo establish a high prevalence of hypertension in institutionalized patients with schizophrenia.AimsTo confirm a high prevalence of hypertensive treatment in these patients.MethodsFour residential institutions for patients with schizophrenia were chosen for the study. There were a total of 145 patients with schizophrenia. The first had 48 patients, males 30 and females 18, the second had 42 patients; 29 males 13 females, the third had 27 patients; 13 males and 14 females and the fourth had 28 patients; 15 males and 13 females. Compurterized print outs from the pharmacies and records from the institutions and office were reviewed.ResultsOf the 145 institutionalized schizophrenia patients, there were 87 males (60%) and 58 females (40%). The average age was 55.76 years. Of these 145 patients, 82 (56%) were on treatment for hypertension and 63 (44%) were not. Of the 87 males, 47(54%) were hypertensive 40 (46%) normotensive. Of the 58 females, 35(60%) were on antihypertensive treatment and 23 (40%) were normotensive.Conclusions56% of our institutionalized patients with schizophrenia were on anti-hypertensive treatment. Due to close medical monitoring, awareness and treatment was one hundred percent.
