RESUMO

Objective: Impulsiveness has been the subject of much research, but little is known about the possible relationship between craniofacial anatomy and impulsiveness. The present study was designed to investigate the relationship between one aspect of craniofacial structure (the angle of inclination of the forehead) and impulsiveness. Method: Photographs in profile were obtained from 131 volunteers who had been fined for driving at high speed and were undergoing a court-mandated driving license point-recovery course. They completed the Barratt Impulsiveness Scale (BIS-11), the Impulsive Behavior Scale (UPPS-P), and Zuckerman's Sensation Seeking Scale (V). The angle of the slant of the forehead was measured with a photographic support and a protractor. Results: High positive concordance was found between forehead inclination and 14 out of the 15 impulsiveness factors studied. Conclusions: The angle of inclination of the forehead was significantly associated with self-reported impulsiveness in this sample of traffic violators.

RESUMO

This exploratory study investigated the association between self-reported impulsiveness and cortical gray matter volume (GMV) of the entire cortex in healthy adults. As a secondary objective and based on preliminary findings concerning the positive association between self-reported impulsiveness and the slant of the forehead degrees (SFD), we analyzed associations between SFD, GMV and impulsiveness. We obtained 48 structural magnetic resonances. The participants also completed BIS 11 and profile pictures were obtained. SFD was measured by a photographic support and a protractor. The GMV of the whole cortex was obtained for each participant through Freesurfer. Firstly, we found negative and positive correlations between fronto-temporal and occipital areas respectively and BIS. Second, we found negative correlations between SFD and GMV in right postcentral gyrus, right caudal middle frontal gyrus, right transverse temporal cortex and positive correlation in left entorhinal cortex. Third, we observed a positive correlation between SFD and BIS in all impulsiveness scores. In conclusion, variations in fronto-temporal and posterior cerebral areas are crucial for BIS in healthy adults. Furthermore, SFD was associated with BIS and correlated with GMV areas involved in self-reported impulsiveness.

RESUMO

Antecedentes. El control cardiovascular y metabólico en pacientes que toman antipsicóticos es fundamental y adquiere una especial relevancia en la edad pediátrica, por ser pacientes más vulnerables y porque cada vez se prescriben fármacos de este tipo en más ocasiones. Objetivo. Describir el grado de cumplimiento de las recomendaciones de control de parámetros cardiovasculares y metabólicos en un grupo de niños y jóvenes en tratamiento antipsicótico. Método. Se trata de un estudio descriptivo transversal en el que se comparan un grupo de 220 pacientes de 8-17 años, diagnosticados de trastorno mental (TM) y en tratamiento antipsicótico, con otro grupo de referencia constituido por 199 individuos asmáticos no expuestos a antipsicóticos del mismo grupo de edad. Los datos se extrajeron de la historia clínica informatizada ECAP en el año 2013. Resultados. La edad de los niños se sitúa entre los 8 y 17 años. La media de edad es de 12 años. La risperidona es el antipsicótico pautado más frecuentemente (62,7%). El porcentaje de registro de peso, talla, índice de masa corporal (IMC) y presión arterial (PA) es de aproximadamente un 50% en los pacientes del grupo TM. En el grupo TM se observa un mayor registro de los parámetros físicos de control cardiovascular (peso, talla, IMC y PA) en comparación con el grupo Asma. En conjunto, se registran más los parámetros físicos que los parámetros bioquímicos. Conclusiones. Este estudio evidencia la necesidad de seguir insistiendo en la monitorización de los parámetros cardiovasculares y metabólicos en los niños y jóvenes en tratamiento con antipsicóticos (AU)


Background. Cardiovascular and metabolic monitoring of patients on antipsychotic medication is essential. This becomes more important in those of paediatric age, as they are more vulnerable, and also because prescriptions of this kind of drugs are still increasing. Aim. To evaluate the monitoring of cardiovascular and metabolic risk factors in a group of children and young people on antipsychotic medication. Method. A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in which a group of 220 patients aged 8-17 years, diagnosed with a mental disorder and on antipsychotic treatment. They were compared to a control group of 199 asthmatic patients not exposed to antipsychotic drugs. Data was extracted from the computerised clinical history ECAP in 2013. Results. The mean age of the children was 12 years (8-17). Risperidone (67%) was the most frequent treatment. The recording of Body Mass Index (BMI) and blood pressure (AP) was 50% in Mental Disorder (MD) patients. A higher number of cardiovascular monitoring physical parameters (weight, height, BMI and BP) were observed in the MD group compared to the control Asthma control group. Altogether, more physical parameters than biochemistry parameters were recorded. Conclusions. This study shows that the recording of cardiovascular parameters and metabolic studies needs to be improved in children and adolescents on treatment with antipsychotics (AU)

RESUMO

Objetivo: Evaluar si la asociación descrita entre los trastornos de ansiedad y el síndrome de hiperlaxitud articular se mantiene en presencia de esquizofrenia y determinar su importancia clínica. Métodos: Se comparan 20 pacientes casos (10 hombres y 10 mujeres) con esquizofrenia y ansiedad comórbida y 20 pacientes de control, emparejados por sexo, con esquizofrenia sin ansiedad y diagnosticados mediante SCID-I. Se valoran las características sociodemográficas, las escalas de sintomatología positiva y negativa de la esquizofrenia (PANSS), Ansiedad Social de Liebowitz (LSAS) y Adaptación Social (SAS), el somatotipo (método Heath-Carter), las anomalías físicas menores (escala de Waldrop) y los criterios del Hospital del Mar para la hiperlaxitud articular. Resultados: No hubo diferencias significativas por sexo entre los casos y controles en cuanto a edad y características sociodemográficas (estado civil, nivel educativo y situación laboral). Los hombres con ansiedad fueron significativamente más ectomórficos (U = 20; p =0.023), más hiperlaxos (U = 21; p = 0.025) y con menos anomalías físicas menores (U = 14.5; p = 0.007) que los hombres del grupo control. Las mujeres con ansiedad fueron significativamente más ectomórficas (U = 17; p = 0.009) y más hiperlaxas (U = 19; p = 0.017). En toda la muestra, tras ajustar por edad y sexo, únicamente la hiperlaxitud articular se asocia de manera independiente con la ansiedad social (odds ratio [OR] = 1.1; intervalo de confianza [IC] del 95%: 1.02-1.2). Discusión: En los pacientes con esquizofrenia, la asociación entre hiperlaxitud articular, somatotipo ectomórfico y ansiedad comórbida parece persistir.Es un probable marcador clínico-biológico de interés.


To evaluate whether the reported link between anxiety disorders and joint hypermobility syndrome still holds in the presence of schizophrenia, and to ascertain its clinical relevance. Methods: Twenty schizophrenic case-patients (10 men and 10 women) with a comorbid anxiety disorder diagnosed by SCID-I were compared to 20 schizophrenic control-patients without anxiety, matched by gender. Socio-demographic characteristics, positive and negative symptoms of schizophrenia (PANSS), Liebowitz Social Anxiety scale (LSAS), Social Adjustment Scale (SAS), somatotype (Heath-Carter method), minor physical anomalies (Waldrop scale), and Hospital del Mar criteria for joint hypermobility were also assessed. Re-sults: There were no significant differences by gender between cases and controls in terms of age and sociodemographic characteristics (educational level, marital status and labor situation). Men displaying anxiety were significantly more ectomorphic (U = 20; p = 0.023), more hypermobile (U = 21; p = 0.025) and had fewer minor physical anomalies (U = 14.5; p = 0.007) than controls. Women with anxiety were significantly more ectomorphic (U = 17; p = 0.009) and more hypermobile (U = 19; p = 0.017) than con-trols. In the entire sample, after adjusting for age and sex, joint hypermobility was independently related to social anxiety (odds ratio [OR] = 1.1; 95%CI: 1.02-1.2). Discussion: In patients with schizophrenia, the association between JHS, ectomorphic somatotype and co-morbid anxiety seems to persist. It is a probable clinical biological marker of interest.

RESUMO

Introducción. El objetivo de este estudio es observar si existen cambios en las opiniones de los estudiantes de medicina de la UAB hacia la psiquiatría en un período de ocho años. Sujetos y método. Mediante un diseño transversal, se administró el cuestionario de Balon et al (1999) a 90 estudiantes de medicina después de cursar la asignatura de psiquiatría en el año 2005. Los resultados de esta muestra se han comparado con un estudio previo llevado a cabo bajo las mismas condiciones con 91 estudiantes de 1997. Resultados. En comparación con el año 1997, los estudiantes de 2005 tienen una mayor percepción de avance y rigor científico de la psiquiatría y de claridad de las funciones del psiquiatra. Además los estudiantes de 2005 tienen una menor percepción de presión social si muestran interés por la especialidad. Estos cambios coinciden con una mayor percepción de calidad de la enseñanza y un aumento en el porcentaje de estudiantes que muestran interés por escoger psiquiatría como futuro profesional (un 2,2% en 1997 y un 5,6% en 2005). Conclusiones. La mejoría en la percepción de la calidad de la enseñanza puede haber influido en el aumento de las vocaciones hacia la psiquiatría (AU)


Introduction. The aim of the study is to assess changes in the opinions of medical students from UAB towards psychiatry in an 8-year period. Subjects and method. With a cross-sectional design, we administered the Balon et al (1999) questionnaire to 90 medical students after the psychiatry rotation in 2005. The results of this sample have been compared with a previous study carried out under the same conditions with 91 students in 1997. Results. Compared to 1997, the students of 2005 have a greater perception of advance and scientific rigor of psychiatry and of clarity of the psychiatrist's functions. In addition, the students of 2005 have a lower perception of social pressure if they show interest in the specialty. These changes co-occur with a greater perception of the teaching quality and an increase in the rate of students who show interest in choosing psychiatry as a professional future (2.2% in 1997 vs. 5.6% in 2005). Conclusions. This better perception of the teaching quality could have influenced the increase of vocational tendencies towards psychiatry (AU)

RESUMO

Objetivo: Evaluar la relación entre ansiedad, Síndrome de Hiperlaxitud Articular (SHA) y otras variables asociadas, e identificar las variables físicas y psicológicas que en conjunto distinguen a las personas con SHA. Método: Estudio caso-control con 100 estudiantes evaluados con los criterios de Brighton para SHA, State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), Liebowitz Social Anxiety Scale (LSAS), Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), un cuestionario de afecciones neuropsicosomáticas (ALDIA) y un cuestionario de trastornos de ansiedad. Resultados: Las puntuaciones obtenidas mediante el HADS ansiedad y STAI estado fueron significativamente mayores entre los estudiantes con SHA. Un conjunto de variables físicas y sicológicas resultaron significativas para distinguir a los participantes con SHA. Conclusiones: Los estudiantes con SHA presentan niveles de ansiedad relativamente mayores que los estudiantes sin SHA en este estudio. Se sugiere que mediante la exploración de síntomas físicos y también psicopatológicos es posible detectar la presencia de SHA (AU)


Objective: To test the relationship between anxiety, joint hypermobility syndrome (JHS) and other associated variables, and identify physical and psychological variables that distinguish individuals with and without JHS. Method: One hundred undergraduate students were assessed using the following instruments: Brighton´s criteria for JHS, State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), Liebowitz Social Anxiety Scale (LSAS), Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), a questionnaire of neuropsychosomatic affections (ALPIN) and a questionnaire of anxiety disorders. Results: Anxiety scores measured by the HADS and STAI (state scale) were significantly higher among participants with JHS. A set of physical and psychological variables turned out to be statistically significant when distinguishing students with or without JHS. Conclusions: Participants with JHS reported relatively higher levels of anxiety than those without JHS in this study. We suggest it is possible to detect the presence of JHS by assessing physical and psychopathological symptoms (AU)

RESUMO

Introducción: El objetivo de este estudio es observar los cambios en las actitudes, opiniones y tendencias vocacionales hacia la psiquiatría de los estudiantes de medicina durante la carrera. Material y métodos: La muestra del estudio consiste en un total de 207 estudiantes; 117 de primer curso de la facultad de Medicina de la Universidad Autónoma de Barcelona (UAB) y 90 de quinto curso de las distintas unidades docentes que componen dicha facultad. El instrumento seleccionado para la obtención de los datos fue una adaptación con dos variantes del cuestionario de Balon. Resultados: Se han observado cambios significativos en algunos aspectos sobre la eficacia y lugar de la psiquiatría entre las demás especialidades médicas, sobre algunas funciones y posibles abusos de los psiquiatras y, finalmente, sobre algunas características de la carrera profesional. Sin embargo, los estudiantes siguen manteniendo una elevada presión social al elegir la especialidad y restan peso a la función del psiquiatra dentro del sistema de salud mental. Ni la sensación de haber adquirido una buena preparación práctica ni la convivencia con pacientes psiquiátricos parece influir en la decisión de escoger psiquiatría. Conclusiones: La elevada tendencia vocacional entre los alumnos de quinto (14%), no observada en otros países, puede responder, en parte, por una propensión a percibir la elección de la especialidad como un reto (AU)


Introduction: The aim of this study is to observe changes in the attitudes, opnions, and vocational tendencies towards psychiatry among students during medical studies. Material and methods: Sample included a total of 207 students; 117 in their first year at medical school of the Universidad Autonoma de Barcelona (UAB), and 90 in their fifth year. Data was collected by means of the selected Balon questionnaire adapted with two variants. Results: We have observed significant changes in some aspects regarding: efficacy and role of psychiatry among other medical specialities; some psychiatrists' functions and possible abuses; and finally, features about the professional career. Students still feel high social criticism if they choose psychiatry and diminish the psychiatrists' function within the mental health system. The decision to choose psychiatry does not seem to be influenced neither by the feeling of welllearned psychiatric training nor by cohabitation with psychiatric patients. Conclusions: Perception of psychiatry as a challenge could partially explain the high vocational tendencies among fifth-year medical students (14%) not observed in other countries (AU)

RESUMO

Introducción: se presenta la implantación de un nuevo dispositivo asistencias, el Equipo Multidisciplinar de Soporte Especializado (EMSE). Este es resultado de un programa de soporte y atención a las urgencias psiquiátricas extrahospitalarias en la ciudad de Barcelona (061). Se describen las características del programa, las fases de desarrollo y se realiza una evaluación. Métodos: se analiza la fase 2, se estudian los pacientes valorados en el domicilio en el periodo del 1 de enero del 2004 al 31 de diciembre de 2004. Las alertas son 196, de las cuales se generan 109 casos que serán tributarios de intervención domiciliaria. Resultados: el 55,5% son trastornos mentales graves desvinculados de la red, y el 22,6% son trastornos mentales vinculados pero que han sido atendidos hace más de cuatro semanas. La historia de trastorno psiquiátrico se caracteriza por tener un tiempo medio sin recibir tratamiento de 40 meses (DS ± 59,2 meses). El delirio, conductas de aislamiento y la agitación-agresividad son las razones de consulta principales. Los diagnósticos se agrupan en el espectro del trastorno esquizofrénico. Las recomendaciones-disposiciones de la consulta, el 48,4% se resuelven en ingresos involuntarios y el 22,6% finalizan en el Centro de Salud Mental. En la evaluación a los cuatro meses, se obtiene un 80% de vinculación en los casos gestionados por EMSE. Conclusiones: la utilidad del programa se constata al comprobar la adherencia al tratamiento. Además este dispositivo puede ser predictor y observatorio de detección de necesidades(AU)


Introduction: our group has set up a program for psychiatric emergency home interventions. It is composed of a multidisciplinary mobile outreach team (EMSE) that attends to spychicatic emergency units called for on the local emergency number (061). Objective: to describe the program, the phses of development and a preliminary evaluation. Methods: a descriptive analysis of home interventions from January 2004 to December 2004. During 2004 teher were 196 calls, of which 109 required home intervention. Results: 55,5% were severe mental disorders that were not being treated at the time. The most frequent motives for consultation were delusions, behavior associated with isolation and agitation-aggression. The diagnoses were classified in the spectrum of schizophrenic disorders. The results from intervention indicate that 48,4% are admitted involuntarily and 22,6% are referred to mental health community centres. The evaluation is positive and results in a 80% follow-up and adherence to treatment by patients. Conclusions: This program is proving both satisfactory and necessary. The adherence to treatment reflects the success of the interventions. The program will also be useful in predicting and detecting further needs(AU)

RESUMO

La esquizofrenia tardía es una categoría diagnostica controvertida. Aunque se considera que la esquizofrenia es una enfermedad de la adolescencia tardía o el inicio de la madurez, una proporción no desdeñable de pacientes presentan la enfermedad por primera vez en la etapa final de la vida. Sin embargo, las incongruencias de los sistemas de nomenclatura y diagnóstico, unido a una tendencia a relacionar la psicosis tardías con factores orgánicos, han dado lugar a que existan dudas sobre la conexión de estos casos con la esquizofrenia. La presentación clínica de la esquizofrenia de inicio tardío es diferente por la falta de disfunción premórbida, y la menor presencia de síntomas negativos y trastornos del pensamiento. Asimismo, el curso de la esquizofrenia tardía es variable, lo que puede reflejar una diversidad etiogénica. Los fármacos antipsicóticos atípicos -como risperidona, olanzapina y quetiapina- pueden ser útiles en este tipo de pacientes, especialmente por la baja prevalencia de efectos adversos de tipo extrapiramidal como la discinesia tardía, a los que la población anciana es más sensible. En conjunto, es notable el escaso progreso en el conocimiento de la presentación clínica, nosología, factores de riesgo, fisiopatología y manejo clínico, y la esquizofrenia de inicio tardío continúa siendo un área poco conocida e investigada de la Psiquiatría (AU)
