A survey of attitudes to mental illness was conducted in a quota sample about 2000 subjects Malvern and Bromsgrove. Factor analysis showed three main components – benevolence, authoritarianism, fear the mentally ill. Residents Bromsgrove, which is served by traditional hospital, were slightly more tolerant than those living Malvern, has community-based service, seen closure two hospitals its vicinity during last 10 years. The demographic determinants tolerance are age, education, occupation,...
Objective: White matter abnormalities may interfere with limbic cortical balance and lead to chronic depressive syndromes. The authors used diffusion tensor imaging test the hypothesis that depressed elders who fail achieve remission have microstructural white in cortico-striato-limbic networks implicated geriatric depression. Method: subjects were nondemented individuals nonpsychotic major After a 2-week placebo period, those had Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAM-D) score of 18 or...
This study tested the hypothesis that microstructural abnormalities in white matter areas of brain containing frontostriatal tracts are associated with a low rate remission geriatric depression.Thirteen older patients major depression received open, but controlled, treatment citalopram at target daily dose 40 mg for 12 weeks. Diffusion tensor imaging was used to determine fractional anisotropy preselected regions.Survival analysis Cox's proportional hazards model revealed lower right and...
To assess the reliability and stability of a standardized road test for healthy aging people those with dementia Alzheimer type (DAT).A prospective study involving patients DAT age-matched controls in which subjects' driving performance was evaluated by several raters an initial follow-up test.Urban medical school urban highways streets.A convenience sample 58 controls, 36 subjects very mild DAT, 29 DAT.Analysis ability (2 [3%] failed test), (7 [19%] failed), (12 [41%] failed) disclosed...
The effect of hyperglycemia on hormone levels, metabolite and memory performance was examined in 22 subjects with very mild probable dementia the Alzheimer type (DAT) 12 normal elderly adults. Subjects were tested 3 plasma glucose conditions (fasting baseline, 175 mg/dl, 225 mg/dl) at initial 18-month follow-up sessions. Initially, adults DAT showed facilitation elevations insulin 225-mg/dl condition relative to baseline. At follow-up, patients whose had progressed significant decreases...
Complex tests of declarative memory, working procedural learning, and response generation inhibition were administered to 27 younger adults (M = 20.8 years) 32 older 68.5 following ingestion saccharin (23.7 mg) or glucose (50 g). The effects administration examined along three dimensions: age, sex, glucoregulatory response, defined as the degree which blood levels returned baseline administration. Glucose significantly enhanced performance on memory measure paragraph recall for males whose...
Abstract Background Structural abnormalities of the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) may interfere with interaction cortical and limbic networks involved in emotional regulation contribute to chronic depressive syndromes elderly. This study examined relationship regional volumes treatment remission elderly depressed patients. We hypothesized that patients who failed remit during a 12‐week controlled trial escitalopram would exhibit smaller gray matter than remitted. Methods The participants...
To determine the range of biometry prediction error postoperative refraction and visual outcome after cataract surgery.Postgraduate teaching hospital.Refraction outcomes were recorded prospectively for a consecutive case series 1817 procedures. Complete preoperative data available 1676 eyes (92.4%). The paired mean difference between predicted achieved refraction, percentages falling within +/-0.50 diopter (D), +/-1.00 D, +/-2.00 values that contained 99% points then calculated. number final...
Abstract Objective To estimate the projected population of US adults aged 18 years or older with lifetime experience doctor‐diagnosed depressive disorder from 2005–2050. Methods Based on nationally representative survey data year 2006 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance Survey (BRFSS), prevalence estimates depression (minor major, and dysthymia) were weighted to incorporate complex sampling design increase generalizability findings. The by age sex in then used adult based sex‐specific Census...
Vignettes representing mentally ill people were presented to about 2000 randomly selected residents in Bromsgrove, served by a mental hospital, and Malvern, community-based psychiatric service. They asked the likely cause of condition, what action they would take, agencies most help. In seemed more enterprising involving various tolerant. It is possible derive simple ‘action scores' as an indicator such tolerance. Although there significant demographic differences between subgroups, overall...
