Approximately 11% of a 1-year sample psychiatric inpatients from single catchment area engaged in assaultive behavior before admission to the hospital. Among schizophrenic, alcoholic, and organic brain syndrome patients, assaultiveness was linked emotional turmoil, as manifested by agitation anger. In contrast, male patients with other diagnoses showed absence substantial distress, affective disorders were unlikely exhibit even when high levels anger reported. The findings suggest that...
This study relates inpatient-treated prevalence of the three mental illnesses most often requiring inpatient treatment--schizophrenia, alcoholism, and affective disorders--to social class in a suburban area. Rates were developed for total population, including those living domiciliary care, households only, first-admission patients households. Log-linear models supported finding that low socioeconomic status was related to high alcoholism disorders. In contrast, not schizophrenia among or

Five years after its introduction at a state mental hospital, an automated drug exception review system continues to show long-term impact on the prescribing practices of hospital physicians. Although overall rate exceptions has remained low, approximately 25% all new pointed out by computer result in change order physician. The fact that 60% are justified suggests some forms polypharmacy may be appropriate. integration exception-reporting into clinical process avoided danger computer's...
Patients with critical illness have disrupted circadian rhythms, which can lead to increased morbidity, mortality and length of intensive care unit stay. Light intensity within the influences rhythm may therefore impact on patient outcome. We performed an observational single-centre pilot study monitoring nocturnal light exposure patients between November December 2016. As there are currently no medical guidance recommended levels, we audited our findings against building regulation...
Multiple cestode cysts identified as Taenia serialis were present in the bodies of two wild-caught African giant pouched rats (Cricetomys gambianus) at necropsy. This rodent species can be an intermediate host for this parasite. Exotic rodents kept pets United States may affected.

Background Disrupted circadian rhythms can have a major effect on human physiology and healthcare outcomes, with proven increases in ICU morbidity, mortality length of stay. Methods We performed multicentre observational study to the nocturnal lux exposure patients 3 intensive care units. Results The median light intensity recorded was 1 over 6-hour recording period; however, this is deceptive as it hides short periods high lux. When looked at shorter time segments 30 minutes, there were...

<h3>Objective</h3> Freud proposed that in Conversion disorder (CD), the affect attached to stressful memories is “repressed” and “converted” into physical symptoms. Contemporary neuroscience has shown neural correlates for “repression” or memory suppression include dorsolateral prefrontal (DLPFC) cortex activation hippocampal deactivation. Our objectives were: 1. Test this mechanism CD 2. Explore of associated sensorimotor symptom. <h3>Method</h3> Stressful events were elicited from Life...
