Authors: Davidson M. , Goldberg S. , Reichenberg A. , Yoffe R. , Weiser M. 
Published: May 2011

IntroductionCompared to the general population, siblings of patients with schizophrenia have a higher risk of developing schizophrenia.ObjectivesThis study analyzed population-based data to examine the risk of hospitalization for schizophrenia and affective disorders among full vs. half siblings of patients with schizophrenia, and among persons with 1 or more siblings with schizophrenia vs. those with 2 or more.AimsThis study assessed the familial influence of schizophrenia on the development of schizophrenia and other mental disorders in siblings.MethodsThe full (n = 12,555) and half (n = 2,707) siblings of 6,115 patients with schizophrenia (ICD F20.0–20.9) were identified from the Israeli Psychiatric Hospitalization Registry. Age and gender matched controls (n = 61,048) were identified from the Israeli Population Registry. The sample's psychiatric hospitalizations were recorded from the registry.ResultsCompared to controls, risk for schizophrenia was higher among persons with one or more (OR = 9.36, 95%CI: 7.73–11.33) or 2 or more (OR = 13.76, 95%CI: 8.84–24.15) full siblings with schizophrenia. Similarly, persons with one or more (OR = 7.91, 95%CI: 5.15–12.14) or 2 or more (OR = 8.44, 95%CI: 3.57–19.94) half siblings with schizophrenia had a higher risk of schizophrenia. Similarly, risk for hospitalization for affective disorders was higher among persons with one or more (OR = 7.29 95%CI: 5.60–9.49) or 2 or more (OR = 10.25, 95%CI: 5.50–19.10) full siblings with schizophrenia.ConclusionsThis population-based study strengthens existing knowledge that schizophrenia has a strong familial, perhaps genetic component; and the greater the familial load, the greater the risk. Familial schizophrenia also increases risk for affective disorders, emphasizing the overlap between these disorders.

IntroductionIt's evident that abnormalities of subcortical brain structures asymmetry are related with schizophrenia pathogenesis.ObjectivesBasal ganglia participate in memory processes. Estimation of relationship between their asymmetry parameters and memory characteristics should be examined.AimsTo investigate correlations between nucleus lentiformis (NL) MRI parameters and memory peculiarities (semantic aspect) in schizophrenia 96 patients and 51 controls were examined.Methods3D MR images were acquired on magnet 0.5 Tomikon S50, Bruker (69 patients‘and 34 controls‘groups) and 1.5T GE Signa System (27 patients‘and 17 controls‘groups). Volumes (V) of left and right NL and their asymmetry coefficients (2 x (right NLV- left NLV) x 100/ (right NLV+left NLV),%) were calculated.Psychological pictogram method1,2 estimating mnestic activity including semantic aspect was used. Quantitative (retention productivity score (RPS) was analyzed.ResultsDecreasing of the right (more prominent, p = 0.046, p = 0.044) and left NL (p = 0.048, p = 0.048) volumes were demonstrated in both patients groups. The RPS was less in both patients groups as compared with controls (p < 0.01). Correlation between NL asymmetry coefficients and RPS was revealed in patients underwent 0.5 and 1.5T scanners (r = -0.51, p < 0.05; r = - 0.57, p < 0.05 correspondingly).ConclusionsThe data confirm significance of brain asymmetry and memory dysfunction in etiology of schizophrenia.

IntroductionOne salient impact of information technology on students’ lives is the ever-increasing use of the Internet. Although there exist many reports in the media regarding the unhealthy Internet use among students, research is still limited.ObjectivesThus, the purpose of the present study was to examine the relation of internet addiction with family functioning and mental health among students. Two-hundred and eighty students from high school and guidance school were selected by multiple cluster sampling method. They participated in the present study by completing internet addiction questionnaire, family functioning scale and mental health questionnair.The method of this study was descriptive and correlational in order to analyze the results, descriptive statistics (frequency and percentage) and inferential statistics (correlations and regression) were used.ResultsThe results showed negative significant correlation between internet addiction and some subscale of family function such as assertiveness, entertainment orientation and religious emphasis. Results also indicated positive significant correlation between 3 subscales of family functioning including dissociation, conflicts and authoritarian family style with internet addiction. No significant correlations were found between other subscales and internet addiction.Regarding the relationship between mental health and addiction to Internet, research results indicate a significant positive correlation between overall mental health score and two subscale of depression and somatization with internet addiction.ConclusionsThe results of this study confirmed the negative effects of Internet addiction on mental health and emphasized the importance of family on intensifying internet addiction. Hence in designing treatment programs, family environment must be considered.

Published: May 2011

IntroductionOver the last decade a series of guidelines and recommendations have been published in the UK by the Department of Health, the Home Office, Professional and Non-Professional bodies. However, an optimal strategy and consensus in the management and care of opioid dependent pregnant users has yet to be established.ObjectivesDetermination of existing methods for identifying and managing pregnancy in opioid users prescribed methadone by NHS Treatment Services and regional differences.AimTo survey the management, treatment and follow-up of pregnant opioid users prescribed methadone by Drug Treatment Services in England and Wales.MethodsIn 2006 a POSTAL survey was conducted among 223 Community Drug Treatment Services (CDTS).ResultsSixty-six percent of CDTS responded to the survey (n = 154/233). A Chi-square, Mann_Whitney U Test and/or Kruskal-Wallis analysis revealed significant differences in the composition of CDTS and service provision across regions. Half of CDTS (55.3%) provided a methadone dosage regime lower than that recommended for non-pregnant drug users. There were also significant variations on how professionals approached the management of pregnant opioid users. CDTS with an addiction specialist were significantly more likely (p < .01) to advocate high doses of methadone whereas those with a midwife, obstetrician or social worker involved were more likely (p < .05) to suggest low dose methadone and/or detoxification.ConclusionsService provision for pregnant opioid users is comprehensive but there is still variability in some aspects of the treatment received. The way in which methadone is prescribed is not always optimal. Further work is required in this area.
FC04-04 - Suicidality during the implementation of security measure of compulsory psychiatric treatment

Published: May 2011

IntroductionEach psychiatric patient is potentially suicidal. However, the mentally illness people who pronounced security measure of compulsory psychiatric treatment are the particular risk group. In their current psychopathology has the greatest importance in the development of suicidal tendencies. On the other hand, many provocative external factors affect the emergence of suicidality.ObjectivesThe paper discusses the influence of several variables on the occurrence of suicidal tendencies: type of mental disorder, kind of crime, length of hospitalization, stigmatization and social and family acceptance.MethodThe retrospective study included 160 patients diagnosed with schizophrenia, paranoid psychosis and mood disorders in the period since 2005 to 2009. The research is related to the relationship of “social isolation” of these patients and suicidal tendencies.ResultsThe results showed that patients diagnosed with schizophrenia exhibit the highest degree of suicidality 67, 5%. Criminal offense into the family, long hospitalization, the stigmatization of patients and not accepting of the social environment, particularly of the family are the factors that contribute to suicidality.ConclusionMisunderstanding and avoidance of the patients from the social environment and especially from the family is a common characteristic of these patients. This causes the feeling of worthlessness, rejection and helplessness. The sense of further life for them doesn’t exist. If we look at suicide as a revenge and punishment of others, than suicidality of this group of mental illness people is a good example of that.

PurposeMedia reports and the official statistics published after the war in Kosova demonstrate a rising trend of suicide in general population. In the past in our clinic have been little interest in whether suicidal risk and behavior has been documented and whether these signs of risk and suicide behavior is associated with Mental disorder and PTSD.Methods134 offenders hospitalized in period time 2007–2009 were included. We used DSM-IV criteria, SBQ-R and assessed risk of suicide factors.Results31,9% were diagnosed with personality disorder, 21,3% were psychotic, 8,5% were drug abusers, 21,3 were depressed with PTSD signs of trauma war, and 17% of them without diagnosis. Risk factors such are abnormal behavior, isolation, hopelessness, depression or other mental disorder, family problems or personal loss and drug or alcohol intoxication were important risk factors for suicidal behavior in 73% of them.12,8 % reported attempt of suicide, 14,9% of them reported that have had a plan to kill themselves, 40% reported that have told someone that are going to commit suicide, and 23,4% reported that they are likely to attempt suicide someday. Suicidal thoughts and attempts were commoner in forensic setting than in general population and were significantly associated with Personality disorder, Psychosis and PTSD.ConclusionSuicide behavior and its significant association with mental disorder play an important role and should include training programs in recognition of offenders at high risk behavior and preventive programme management in forensic settings in our country.

Published: May 2011

A study of adolescents with diabetes found that one third had psychiatric disorders, most involving internalizing symptoms; other studies have shown that diabetic youth have greater rates of depression and that those with depression have poor glycemic control.ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of cognitive and emotional response to disease and treatment on diabetes self-management behavior. To study the effect of psychosocial factors as self-esteem, body image, different coping strategies and family factors on diabetes self-management behavior and subsequent glycemic control in diabetic adolescents.MethodCross-sectional study which includes 37 controlled and 30 uncontrolled diabetic adolescents recruited from Abou El-Rich Hospital, All participants were subjected to Semi structured interview, Personal Models of Diabetes Questionnaire, Body Image Scale, Coopersmith Self Esteem Inventory, Taxonomy of Children's Coping Strategies and assessment of Glycosylated Hemoglobin.ResultsPerceived seriousness of diabetes is higher in the group of uncontrolled diabetes (p < 0.001). Higher self-esteem in the group of controlled diabetes (14.91 ± 3.43) compared to the group of uncontrolled diabetes (10.33 ± 4.74). There was highly statistical significant difference regarding Coopersmith Self- Esteem Inventory (p < 0.001).ConclusionLower self-esteem was more prevalent among uncontrolled diabetic adolescents. In the group of uncontrolled diabetes early age of onset, and longer duration of illness were associated significantly with lower self-esteem.

Authors: Wegner L.M. 
Published: May 2011

IntroductionChildren and adolescents experience significant emotional disorders and the prevalence of these conditions is notable. In 1999, the U.S. Surgeon General's report on children's mental health listed the following prevalence data: Anxiety disorders 13.0%; Mood disorders 6.2%; Disruptive disorders 10.3%; Substance use disorders 2%; Any Disorder: 20.9%* (*Children age 9–17 with mental or addictive disorders, combined MECA sample, 6-month prevalence.) However, there is an acknowledged dearth of pediatric mental health care professionals in the U.S. and among those professionals available, geographic and reimbursement limitations restrict access to the care available for many children and adolescents.ObjectivesPrimary health care providers are being encouraged to provide some of the identification and care management to offset this access problem.AimsExpand clinical skills of providers, develop tools for planning at state and local level, educate public about importance of early screening and diagnosis.MethodsIn 2005, the American Academy of Pediatrics convened a Task Force of members and consultants to develop recommendations and paradigms for melding physical health care and mental/behavioral care in the primary practice medical home for children and adolescents.ResultsThis project concluded in 2010 with six published papers and appendices detailing increased identification of pediatric mental health conditions, methods for primary care providers working collaboratively with families and mental health specialists, algorithms for decisions and actions, and payment mechanisms supporting parity between mental and physical care in the US third party payer system.ConclusionsPaper presents the major recommendations and outcomes from this 5 year project.
FC07-05 - Resting brain perfusion in alcohol-induced psychotic disorder: A comparison in patients with alcohol dependence, schizophrenia and healthy controls
Authors: Jordaan G.P. , Warwick J.M. , Hewlett R. , Emsley R. 
Published: May 2011

IntroductionAlcohol-induced psychotic disorder (AIPD), is an uncommon complication of alcohol abuse. AIPD needs to be distinguished from alcohol withdrawal delirium and schizophrenia and the underlying pathophysiology is poorly understood. Few brain-imaging studies in AIPD have been reported to date. Case reports of brain-imaging in AIPD suggest possible dysfunction in the thalamus, basal ganglia, frontal lobes and cerebellum. The aim of this study was to compare resting brain perfusion (rCBF) in patients with AIPD, uncomplicated alcohol dependence, schizophrenia and healthy volunteers.MethodsSingle photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) was utilized to compare rCBF in patients with AIPD (n = 19), schizophrenia (n = 16), uncomplicated alcohol dependence (n = 20) and healthy volunteers (n = 19).ResultsIncreased rCBF was demonstrated in the right calcarine area in patients with AIPD compared to healthy volunteers, with a trend towards increased rCBF to the frontal and temporal lobes and the right pallidum. Decreased left sided rCBF to the putamen, parietal, mid-frontal and mid-temporal lobes and heterogenous flow to the cerebellum were demonstrated in patients with AIPD when compared to patients with uncomplicated alcohol dependence. The left posterior cingulate and right cerebellum showed higher and lower rCBF respectively in patients with AIPD compared to patients with schizophrenia.ConclusionThe findings implicate the right occipital lobe and possibly the cerebellum in the pathogenesis of AIPD. Some findings have similarities with rCBF reports in alcohol-withdrawal. Reduced rCBF to the frontal lobes, thalamus and basal ganglia in AIPD as suggested in previous case reports could not be confirmed.

IntroductionThe chronic worldwide shortage of psychiatrists has impaired the delivery of first class mental health care. The WHO produced a report on the Mental Health Gap, showing the high burden of mental health, neurological and substance misuse disorders worldwide, estimating a treatment gap of 75% between need and resources.Aims and objectivesResearch to date has highlighted key areas that influence students' choice of a career in psychiatry. There have been several key literature reviews summarising work in the area since the 1950s. The current study updates literature with a systematic review of the past 10 years.MethodsA five level search strategy was used.A standard Critical Appraisal tool was developed based on the one used by the Best Evidence in Medical Education Group in Dundee. Papers were coded and graded using hierarchies of evidence - Sackett Hierarchy of Evidence and Kirkpatrick Hierarchy.Results & conclusionsThe quality of published studies has risen over the past 30 years, with the past decade producing the most robust evidence. However, it is a complex area to research with many potential confounders, and large gaps in knowledge remain.

Published: May 2011

ObjectivesTo investigate the relationship between adaptive, maladaptive, and pathological Internet use and mental health problems, in particular depression, self-harm and suicidal behavior among a representative sample of adolescents from different European countries.MethodsA total of 7.000 students from different European countries were recruited for the SEYLE study, a European school-based intervention study, and completed a self-report questionnaire for baseline assessment. Internet behaviors were evaluated by the Young Diagnostic Questionnaire, depression by the BDI-II, self-harm by the Deliberate Self-Harm Inventory and suicidal behavior by the Paykel Suicide Scale.ResultsPathological Internet users, who met the criteria for Internet addiction, showed significantly higher rates of depression, self-harm and suicidal behavior compared to students with adaptive Internet use. Remarkably, there were no significant differences in depression as well as self-harm and suicidal behavior between students suffering from Internet addiction and students presenting maladaptive Internet behaviors.ConclusionThese results clearly demonstrate that students presenting either Internet addiction as well as maladaptive Internet use are more likely to suffer from depression as well as self-harm and suicidal behaviour. However, the group of students with Internet addiction and the students presenting maladaptive Internet use did not significantly differ from each other. These results suggest that not only Internet addiction, but also maladaptive Internet use, is associated with symptoms of depression, self-harm and suicidal behavior. Therefore, more attention should be paid to adolescents with maladaptive Internet use in order to early recognize depression, self-harm and suicidality in adolescence.

Authors: Flores-Ramos M. , Méndez Ramírez I. 
Published: May 2011

ObjectiveTo determine if serum levels of Follicle Stimulating Hormone, Luteinizing Hormone, estradiol, progesterone, Free Testosterone and Total Testosterone differ between perimenopausal women with first depressive episode, recurrent depression and without depression.MethodsDemographic and clinical characteristics were evaluated in 63 perimenopausal women with first depressive episode (N = 20), recurrent depression (N = 23) or non-depressed (N = 20). Hormonal measurements were evaluated at follicular and luteal menstrual phases and mid-cycle, around one menstrual cycle.ResultsWhen compared depressed and non-depressed women we observed lower levels of luteal progesterone, higher levels of total testosterone and an increasing level of FSH in depressed patients. Differences between the three groups were observed in luteal progesterone levels, luteal FT, and luteal TT. Independently of current diagnosis, women with and without pmdd antecedent, differed in progesterone and testosterone levels. We did not find association of perimenopausal depression and history of post partum depression.ConclusionsHormonal profiles differed between groups. Patients with antecedent of pmdd had a similar progesterone and testosterone profile to perimenopausal depressed women.
