Authors: Ali D. , Effat S. , El Serafi D. 
Published: July 2013

BackgroundChildren with autism have developmental motor profile that differ from other healthy children. This is evident since early childhood, sometime noted by parents and neglected by clinicians. These motor deficits are related to other domains of dysfunction in children with autism as social and language skills .Improving motor deficits can help better prognosis for these children.AimTo detect motor deficits in a sample of autistic children and correlate them with the severity of autistic symptoms.MethodsWe recruited 20 autistic children ranging from 3 to 6 yrs from the Institute of psychiatry outpatient child psychiatry and rehabilitation clinics of Ain-Shams university hospital .We excluded patients having total intelligence less than 75 or having other developmental disorder. We matched them with healthy controls for age and sex and compared both motor development and self help skills using Brigance scale. We confirmed diagnosis of autism in each patient by applying ICD-10 criteria of autism by a senior psychiatrist and by having a Childhood Autism Rating Scale (CARS) score above 30. Relation of autism severity and motor deficits was assessed later by Correlation co-efficient test.ResultsCompared to controls, autistic children showed statistically significant low Brigance test scores on; gross movement, fine movement and self-help skills subdomains .Motor delay was significantly correlated with the severity of autism.ConclusionsMotor deficits were evident in autistic patients and could indicate severity
1190 – Assessing Alexithymia In Different Subgroups Of The Chinese Population: Sample Invariance Of The Chinese Version Of Toronto Alexithymia Scale-short Form (tas-9-c)

IntroductionThe TAS-9-C is a short form of TAS-20 validated for assessing alexithymia in adolescent populations. Tam & Wong (2012) reported the invariance of the one-factor model of TAS-9-C; yet this resulting model has yet been tested against its original three-factor model of the TAS-20. The objective of this study was to test the goodness-of-fit of both models in three different Chinese samples.MethodsData were obtained from adolescents (n = 1294), healthy adults (n = 196) and adult psychiatric outpatients (n = 243). Confirmatory factor analyses (CFAs) tested the fit of a one-factor model and a correlated model that comprised three correlated first-order factors (including difficulty identifying feelings, difficulty describing feelings and externally-oriented thinking) to the data. The factorial invariance of the TAS-9-C between independent samples was investigated using multigroup CFAs.ResultsThe CFAs results demonstrated a better fit of the correlated three-factor model (CFI > 0.776) over the one-factor model in both adolescent and adult samples (CFI > 0.871). While the correlated model showed evidence of strong factorial invariance among different adolescents from different grade levels, configural invariance was evidenced in the adolescent, healthy adults and adult psychiatric outpatients samples.ConclusionsThe three meaningful clusters of TAS-9-C mirrored the original factor structure of TAS-20. The use of subscales representing different aspects of alexithymia adds incremental value to the measurement using full scale alone among Chinese across developmental stages and settings. Configural invariance among these samples suggests that growth-related change leads to different developmental trajectories for adult alexithymia. Future research is necessary to ascertain this.

Authors: Neznanov N.G. , Vasilyeva A.V. 
Published: July 2013

Mental health is the fundamentals of intellectual, creative, productive and defense capability of the nation. According to the Russian health ministry evaluation about 15-20% of population need mental health care services and only about 5-5.5% really get it.Psychiatry today can be defined as stigmatized, suffering from social and professional isolation medical discipline. We have to take it seriously the strong influence of psychiatric mythology, stigmatization and self-stigmatization are the other parts of social and social-psychiatric reality, defining the patient decision to cooperate with psychiatrists. The survey made by Russian Psychiatric Association revealed that majority of professionals as well as mental health care consumers are not satisfied with mental health care system in Russia today.Reorganization of social consciousness is one of the main challenges for psychiatry today. The following steps have to be done. Rebuilding of the mental health care system on the voluntary principle, with legislative definition of the involuntary hospitalization in the patient interests. Systematic educative work is necessary. The discrepancy between the defined by mythology expectations and psychiatric reality has to be overcome in the work with patients and their relatives.Mandatory is not only radical restricting of the mental hospital functioning, but also development of various with differentiated services outpatient mental health care facilities, including the organization of the so-called outer dispensaries mental health services in general medicine institutions. It is necessary to develop and widen psychotherapeutic and social services, providing the mental health services at the different stages of patient treatment and observation.

IntroductionMany studies have concluded that doctors -irrelevant of their specialties- have higher levels of hostility and psychological problems compared to these observed in the general population.ObjectivesThe investigation of psychological characteristics of Greek male and female resident doctors.AimsTo demonstrate the high hostility rates among physicians.Materials and methods102 Greek resident doctors in the field of Internal Medicine, 45 male and 57 female, participated in the present study. The scientific tools used were: a) the Other As Shamer Scale (OAS), b) the Experience of Shame Scale (ESS), c) the Hostility and Direction of Hostility Questionnaire (HDHQ), d) The Symptom Checklist-90-R (SCL-90-R), e) a questionnaire concerning socio-demographic information.ResultsThe 52% of the sample(73,3% of male and 33,5% of female) are single with mean age 33,9 and 34,2 correspondingly. In their comparison using the T-Test it was observed that the male resident doctors showed a statistically higher mean value in the subscales of: behavioral shame (P=0,045), criticism of others (P=0,031), extrapunitiveness (P=0,048). No other significant differences were demonstrated between the two groups.ConclusionThere were not demonstrated significant differences between male and female doctors. Both male as well as female resident doctors of the sample showed high levels of hostility, a result that is supported by many other international studies. Concerning the socio-demographic results of the study it must be stressed that the medical doctors used in the sample are married at a higher age compared to the general Greek population of their coevals.

The aim of the study was association between degree of alcohol intoxication and abnormal offenders convicted for the criminal acts. Used sources were courd and medical records, which team exploited while preparing the reports for the County court in Kragujevac, and for the Municipal Courts in the Sumadija region. Analyse is consitsted from two different periods. First is from January 1999 till January 2002. and 72 convicted persons are included. Second period is ten years later, from January 2009 till January 2012. and 58 persons are included.Indictments were for the following criminal acts: mischief, robbery, rape, sexual abuse, intention of murder but without deliberation and murder. Following the degrees of the alcohol as cause of depression of the brain and inhibitory mechanisams, influenced differently on the convicted criminals (p= 0.001). According to the results of the study less degree of the alcohol is most frequent and most dangerous facilitating factor of the criminal acts. There is statistically significant difference between two periods for the different criminal acts connected with degree of alcohol intoxication (p< 0.05).We can conclude that alcohol influence differently on the convicted criminals and different criminal acts depent from degree of alcohol intoxication.

Published: July 2013

Materials and methodsThis descriptive study was held in the department of Internal Medicine in Hedi Chaker Hospital, (Sfax-Tunisia), during 04 months (From July to October 2012). We have included 50 patients, having corticosteroids with a dose equal or greater than 10 mg of prednisone per day for a period exceeding one month. We used in this study, the HAD scale for anxiety-depression, the SF-36 to investigate the quality of life of these patients, the ANGST score of hypomania and the Morisky score to investigate the adherence to treatments (Corticosteroids).ResultsThe average age was 43.43 + / -16.11 years. The age of discovery of the disease was 38.24 + / -14.28 years. An average score of anxiety was 10.6 + / -3.89. The mean score of depression was 8.75 + / -4.035. An average score of hypomania was 8.43 + / -4.025. We noted that 53.7% of patients belong to level 3 of anxiety, and 40.56% have some level depression by the HAD score.Psychiatric complications were noted in 58.5% of patient with a major depressive state in 12.2%. Patients reported sleep disturbances in 24% with behavioral problems in 9.6% of cases.The average score of SF36 was 56.55 + / -15.21, and 74% of patients had distorted quality of life, mainly affecting health psychic (92.54%), limitation due to mental state (95.75%).ConclusionOur results suggest the interest of a psychiatric examination before the introduction of corticosteroids, in order to detect patients requiring special supervision.
1218 – The Link Between Creativity And Bipolar Disorder
Authors: Gomes S. , Lima Peixoto M. , Campos O. 
Published: July 2013

Artists are valued for their ability to capture, express and engender states of intense emotion. Regular experience and sharing of intense emotions may challenge a preexisting mood regulation vulnerability.A series of studies have revealed particularly strong associations between mood disorders, especially bipolar disorder, and creativity. Specifically, recent findings demonstrate that bipolar disorder patients and highly creative individuals have certain personality/ temperamental commonalities, which in turn may predispose them to increased creativity.The aim of this review is to reflect and discuss, based on a revision of the scientific literature, this apparent association between creativity and bipolar disorder.

IntroductionExecutive functions (EF) are associated to frontal lobes and cognitive decline (CD) with worse results on EF tests.Objectives/aimsAnalyze if the Frontal Assessment Battery/FAB assessing EF discriminates elders with CD (vs. with no CD; Montreal Cognitive Assessment/MoCA), and if the results obtained with the Rey Osterreith Complex Figure Test/ROCF (copy's quality, immediate, and delayed memory) are associated with the CD presence/absence. Moreover, we wanted to assess if copy's quality and 3 minutes memory test are associated with FAB results, since these two tests are supposedly associated with EF and with frontal lobes assessed by the FAB, contrarily to the 20 minutes memory (supposedly related to the temporal area).Methodology556 institutionalized elders (age: M ± SD =80.2 ± 5.23; range=60-100) filled in voluntarily a sociodemographic questionnaire, ROCF, MoCA and FAB.ResultsFAB and all ROCF tests were associated with the absence/presence of CD. Regarding variables stratified by age and education, FAB was associated with immediate memory but not with copy's quality nor with delayed memory. With no stratified ROCF and FAB, correlations confirmed the previous associations, but also between FAB and copy's quality.ConclusionsResults follow the literature regarding the association between immediate memory and EF (associated to frontal lobes), in contrast to the long-term memory which is associated with the temporal area and that was not associated with FAB. Results concerning copy's quality (ROCF) are not consensual.

Structured psychological interventions should be considered for patients with bipolar disorder once they are past the acute phase or a relapse, with the aim of reducing the likelihood of future relapses.MethodThe PubMed, Web of Science and Scopus databases were searched for articles containing the following keywords: “bipolar disorder” and “psychoeducation”. The resources were confronted with our own experiences with psychoeducation in bipolar patients and only most relevant information was included in the text.ResultsThe most important target of the psychoeducation is to prevent a relapse by increasing compliance with medication usage, increasing social rhythms, reducing emotional expressivity in the family and increasing coping skills against stress. Studies on psychoeducation in bipolar disorder demonstrate significant effects on rehospitalization rates, compliance and knowledge. Compared with mood stabilizer treatment alone, combination treatment of CBT and mood stabilizers has been shown to reduce the number of bipolar episodes, reduce the duration of episodes that do occur, and reduce the number of hospital admissions due to episodes. The aim of the group psychoeducational program of the Psychiatric clinic in Olomouc is to familiarize patients with the essence of bipolar disorder, the part and principles of pharmacotherapy, the recognition of the warning signs of relapse, to advice about improper and stressful stereotypes in communication within families, and finally the training of social skills. Patients consider this program as a meaningful and helping them to better understanding what happened in their life. Supported by grant IGA MZ CR NT 11047-4/2010.

Published: July 2013

IntroductionThe rate of non-suicidal self-injurious behaviors (NSIB) is reported to be between 12–35% of adolescents. The previous studies revealed that around 9% of adolescents admitted to attempting suicide.ObjectiveThe aim of the study was to determine the lifetime incidence of suicidal ideations, suicide attempts (SA) and NSIB in girls diagnosed with Conduct Disorders (CD) who were educated and treated in Youth Sociotherapy Center (YSC).Methods42 girls aged 13–18 years suffered from CD participated in the study. All participants were residents of YCS due to previous educational and behavioral problems or juvenile delinquency. Based on psychiatric and psychological examination, medical and psychiatric history, the lifetime incidence of suicidal thoughts, SA and NSIB were estimated. The age of onset of symptoms and behaviors was also assessed as well as numbers of SA and NSIB.ResultsAmong the studied group 20 (47.6%) girls confirmed the occurrence of suicidal ideations, 9 (21.4%) patients SA and 26 (61.9%) NSBI during their lifetime. The median age of onset of both SIB and SA was 13 years. Median numbers of SA and NSIB was 4.4 and 12 respectively.ConclusionsAdolescent girls suffered from CD are at high risk of early onset and recurrence of suicide attempts and nonsuicidal self-injurious behaviors.

IntroductionSuicide seasonality with a peak incidence in spring or early summer has been consistently reported. Although a quite robust finding this spring peak of suicides is poorly understood. The effect of climate parameters such as sunlight, temperature, humidity etc. on hormones and neurotransmitters such as serotonin has been hypothesized to explain the seasonal variation in suicide.ObjectiveTo examine the amplitude of suicide seasonality in relation to sunlight duration and serotonergic medication.MethodsBy using Swedish Registers we gathered information including forensic data on antidepressive medication for 11,845 suicides during 1992 to 2003. Moreover, data for sunlight duration for the same period for all Swedish counties was obtained from the Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute. The presence of suicide seasonality was estimated with a Poisson regression variant, in three groups, as defined by tertiles of sunlight duration.ResultsIn regions with low sunlight duration no statistically significant seasonality pattern was found for men independently of medication. In regions with middle or high sunlight duration an increased amplitude of seasonality was observed among men treated with SSRIs in a dose dependent pattern. Such a pattern was not observed among suicide victims on other antidepressant medication or those without an antidepressant. Women on the other hand showed a seasonal variation in suicide only in regions with low sunlight duration.ConclusionsSuicide seasonality amplitude increases with higher sunlight duration especially in men treated with SSRIs. In women, the highest suicide seasonality was observed in regions with the lowest sunshine duration.

IntroductionThe existence of age-normal are causes the special features of sexual dysfunction. At a young age (18-30 years) is characterized by the development and formation of the sexual function. It is for this age period is characterized by the influence of media on the psycho-emotional state - admass, and as a consequence, the development of psychogenic sexual dysfunctions. Propaganda regular and undying of male strength is cause the formation of personality conflict.Methods35 patients were examined in this age range. Analysis of the data revealed that most patients were observed ejaculation disorder, (which was associated with increased sexual arousal) and erectile dysfunction, due to a number of reasons (personal characteristics, the nature of psychological trauma).ResultsAt a young age, there is an active search for a regular sexual partner. Unsuccessful attempts to prove their sexual viability leads to the formation of non-adaptive systems of personality that was the cause of sexual dysfunction. Is aggravated sexual dysfunction picture of perfectionism. The emergence of sexual dysfunction was also due to misconceptions about the norm of sexual activity. Thus formed resistant obsessive fear of impotence. Patients in this group rarely share their problems in sexual life with a partner, because they fear for their dignity and fear seem weak, vulnerable.ConclusionsThe development of sexual dysfunction is largely determined by personality traits of the individual. Thus, in patients aged under 30 years at the base of sexual disorders lying psychogenic factor. The degree of which depends on the personality characteristics.
