Background:There are disparities in mental health services (MHS) utilization within and between populations and several factors are studied as its potential correlates. Identifying those correlates would help health policy makers to adjust service provision with characteristics of their community.Aims:To evaluate demographic, socioeconomic and system correlates of MHS utilization among married women from Tehran, Iran.Methods:A household survey of 615 married women residents of 22 municipal districts of Tehran selected via a cluster sampling method. All subjects were asked about health services utilization during last one and 12 months as well as need and access for MHS, demographic and socioeconomic factors. Independent correlates of MHS use were determined with logistic regression analysis.Results:Total 615 women, mean±SE age and duration of marital life of 42.6±0.9 and 22±0.8 years, respectively were selected, rate of MHS utilization during last one and 12 months were 5.2% and 10.1% respectively. 23.6% of women reported having mental illness and 19.3% and 17.9% had need for MHS and access to outpatient health services, respectively. Logistic regression models showed that need for MHS (OR:5.25, 95%CI:2.7–10.1), access to outpatient services (OR:2.17, 95%CI:1.04–4.52), smoking (OR:3.4, 95%CI:1.16–10.2) and crowding index (OR:0.69, 95%CI:0.48–0.99).Conclusions:Rate of MHS utilization in women are low considering the near to estimated rate of perceived illness. Bridging the gap between perceived illness and need for services, then providing better access to services in areas with higher crowding index and higher rates of smoking in residents should considered in any mental health promotion programs.

Authors: Schecker M. 
Published: July 2013

Background:Many studies have shown that also cognitive stimulation in the early stages of Alzheimer's disease improves language processing and (other) cognitive functions. It is no longer the question of whether cognitive stimulation helps rather what kind of cognitive stimulation helps more than others.Methods:42 subjects with mild Alzheimer's disease underwent clinical and cognitive evaluation and participated in a sixmonth study with two experimental groups and a control group. Experimental group 1 participated in, client-centered’ global cognitive stimulation, focused on the self as the highest executive authority. Experimental group 2 participated in a cognitive training program, focusing on the representation of complex context correlations in the working memory. The waiting group received only drug treatment.Results:Results confirmed previous investigation; in both experimental groups increases the cognitive status (MMSE). In looking at the single functional areas only, client-centered’ stimulation improves(1) language processing and(2) (other) cognitive functions and increases(3) ADL/IADL performance and(4) the subjective quality of life.The cognitive training of working memory improves only ADL/IADL performance (more than cognitive stimulation) and stabilizes the level of performance in the three other functional areas. The waiting group is characterized by large declines in performance in all four functional areas.

Introduction:Alcohol consumption is a part of the aboriginal culture. It was found that is a predominant health problem in aboriginal community. There was little research describing whether gender differences in harmful drinking and adverse drinking consequence among aborigines. Thus, it is important to evaluate such differences in order to provide evidence for developing interventions in problem drinking.Aims:The aim of the study is to examine the gender differences in the prevalence, correlates, and adverse drinking consequences among harmful alcohol users in Taiwanese aborigines.Methods:A cross-sectional survey was conducted. 449 study participants, aged 18-60, were recruited into the study from community-dwelling aborigines in southern Taiwan. Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) was used to collect information regarding harmful alcohol drinking. Personal characteristics, related risk factors and adverse drinking consequences were assessed by questionnaire.Results:The result revealed that the prevalence of harmful drinking in male users was 71.6%, female users were 49.2%. The results showed that female harmful alcohol users were more likely to have poor mental health, 58% of them with suicidal ideation, 50% with depression, more inactive in religious practice, and unemployed. It was also found that more than half of the male harmful alcohol users have adverse drinking consequence, including accidental injury, quarreled with others, and unable to work.Conclusions:Harmful drinking was a predominant health problem in aborigines. This finding suggested that depression and suicidal ideation should be routinely evaluated for female harmful alcohol users by the professional of primary care.

Objective:In this study, we aimed to identify protein molecules in the hypothalamus in the female rats injected exogenous androgen before sexual differentiation.Methods:Neonatal female SD rats were randomly divided into two groups: experimental group and control female group. Four neonatal male SD rats were control male group. All animals were subjected to intraperitoneal injection of testosterone propionate as experimental group or aseptic oil as control. The rats were sacrificed 90 days after the injection and the brains were collected. 2-DE were performed in order to establish profiles of proteome from rat hypothalamus and followed by MALDITOF- TOF mass spectrometry was used to identify proteins differentially expressed in rat hypothalamus from experimental group as compared to normal control group.Results:11 differential spots were cut off from the Silver stained gel, and 9 of the spots were identified, which were Dihydropyrimidinase-like 3 (DPYSL3), heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein K(hnRNP K), Profilin2, Triosephosphate isomerase 1(Tpi 1), Carbonic anhydrase II(CA II), Annexin A3, Protein disulfide isomerase associated 3 (PDIA3), Creatine kinase-B and Secernin 1.Conclusion:The results of the present study indicate that the development of sexual differentiation may be associated with the alteration in the expression of a large number of cytosolic proteins in the hypothalamus.

Background:Lead (Pb) is a confirmed neurotoxin. Clear adverse effects of blood Pb level (BLL) ≥ 10 μg/dl have been documented in children, but questions remain about Pb-associated behavioural disorders at these BLL and whether lower exposures are associated with greater disorders.Objectives:To study the behavioural disorders associated with environmental low-level Pb exposure in children living in the villages of the east coast of the River Nile located nearby Al-Minya industrial area.Subjects:Study was conducted at Al-Minya University Hospital for Obstetric, Gynaecology and Pediatrics (1st of July, 2007 - 30th of June, 2009). It included 120 children aged 7-9 years from the nearest 2 villages to Al-Minya industrial city (60 children each), namely, El-Newayrat and Al-Shorafaa, and 60 children from Talla, a village located to the west of Al-Minya city, as a control group.Methods:BLL had been measured, and all studied children were subjected to Conners’ test.Results:Children BLL from El-Newayrat and Al-Shorafaa were significantly increased when compared to that of Talla children with higher affection reported with El-Newayrat. Conners’ test revealed higher affection in children from EL-Newayrat and Al- Shorafaa when compared to Talla. There was a strong negative correlation to BLL (5–10 μg/dl). The most pronounced deficits were in the areas of ADHD, psychsomatic and learning disorders.Conclusions:Low-level Pb exposure in children was accompanied with behavioral disorders. It is advised to perform a national study to evaluate how big the problem is and to put Pb-toxicity in the list of the national health problems.

Published: July 2013

Introduction:Ambulatory actigraphy is a simple and objective method for the evaluation of motor activity that is used in several neuropsychiatric disoders such as depression, agitation, apathy, and sleep disorders.Objective:To evaluate the sensitivity (Se) and specificity (Sp) of actigraphic postural detection versus postural data gathered by observer during multiple guided activities.Material and methods:A voluntary healthy subject was equipped with different actigraphs (Actiwatch®; MicroMini- Motionlogger®; MotionLog®; Movilis®) then realized multiple guided activities during a 7-hour diurnal period : walking, standing, sitting, decubitus with sleep. Actigraphs were worn on different locations (wrists, thorax, ankles, belt) and two of them included postural recognition in addition to motor activity monitoring. Se and Sp for postural recognition compared to ground-truth were obtained from table of confusion based on raw activity data recordings; error of attribution due to devices is detailed in confusion matrix.Results:Actigraphy postural recognition is efficient for lying position detection (MotionLog: Se 99% Sp 97%; Movilis: Se 80% Sp 72%). Standing position was mainly recognized as sitting position and therefore actigraphic detection lacks of accuracy for these positions. Walking is detected with 20% error.Conclusion:Postural actigraphy is efficient for lying position detection and actigraphic postural recognition could improve detection and characterization of nocturnal awakenings and diurnal napping in clinical practice.

552 – Use of Agomelatin in Depressive and Physical Symptoms of Perimenopause - A Pilot Study
Authors: Koegel K. , Krueger S. 
Published: July 2013

Introduction:Depression affects up to 20% of alle women entering perimenopause. The symptoms of depression are often debilitating and are related to the decrease of the steroid hormones progesterone and estrogen. Treatments such as SSRIS and SNRIs often worsen the physical symptoms of perimenopause such as hot flashes and there is some evidence that a decrease of estrogen inhibits the effectiveness of SSRIs. Thus, we investigated whether agomelatin was effective in treating perimenopausal depression without worsening hot flashes and other perimenopausal-related physical symptoms.Method:35 women with moderate to severe depression related to perimenopause as diagnosed by a typical hormonal constellattion and by systematic psychiatric assessment were treated with agomelatin for 6 weeks. Symptom change of both depression and of physical symptoms was evaluated weekly by several rating scales.Results:Agomelatin improved both depression and physical symptoms of perimenopause, particularly hot flashes and night sweats. After 6 weeks 70% of the women reported remission from depression and all said that their sleeping pattern had improved as well as their overall quality of life. They related this strongly to the significant improvment of hot flashes and night sweats.Conclusions:Agomelatin improves both depressive and physical symptoms of perimenopause. Since hot flashes and night sweats are among the most debilitating symptoms of perimenpause and since about 80% of women suffers from them, agomelatin might be a good option for those women who do not want HRT.
