Abstract:
Despite medical, technological, and humanitarian advances, the criminalization of those with serious mental illness continues. This is not an isolated phenomenon. The benefits of treatment reform and innovation are difficult to maintain or sometimes outright harmful. Across time and geography, the care of those with serious mental illness tends towards maltreatment, be it criminalization or other forms of harm. We present a social history of serious mental illness, along with the idea that the treatment of serious mental illness is a Sisyphean task—perpetually pushing a boulder up a hill, only for it to roll down and start again. The history is provided as a basis for deeper reflection of treatment, and treatment reform, of those with serious mental illnesses.

Abstract:
The Institute of Medicine states that most diagnostic errors are caused by flaws in clinician diagnostic thinking. Accurately inferring the correct diagnosis from the patient history is the best way to improve diagnostic accuracy and efficiency. Such an improvement is contingent upon training early phase medical learners how to organize data from a patient history to arrive at the most likely diagnosis of the patient’s chief health concern (CC). We describe how organizing the traditional history of present illness into what our trainees have come to call the “ All-Inclusive History of Present Illness” ( AIHPI) by applying the Bayesian statistical concepts of chronologically sequencing, as suggested by Skeff, both relevant historical risks and known medical events generate a series of pre-event probabilities of the most likely disease causing a patient’s CC. Our trainees have enthusiastically recognized that the AIHPI organization process helps them improve both their ability to deliver well-organized, succinct verbal case presentations and the efficiency of generating and communicating what they think is the most likely disease causing a patient’s CC.

Abstract:
Children's healthy mental development has never been the focus of long-term, committed public health policy in the way that early physical health and development have been. We discuss four types of societal response to illness—cure, care, control, and prevention—and trace the history of public health in terms of its special responsibility to control and prevent disease. We identify four periods in the history of public health: the Sanitarian era (up to 1850), the Bacterial era (1850–1950), the Behavioral era (1950–present), and the Communitarian era (the next century). Looking at this history from the viewpoint of the developmental psychopathology of the first 2 decades of life, we trace progress in public health responses to children with mental illness, from a philosophy of control by isolation toward one of preventive intervention. We examine primary, or universal, prevention strategies that have been tried, and we suggest some that might be worth reconsidering.

Abstract:
This article explores illness as an assemblage of bodies, discourses, and practices by tracing a genealogy of the condition hystero-epilepsy in order to show the precarity of dominant bio-psychiatric ideology in the present. I read Siri Hustvedt’s case study of her own nervous condition with and against other histories of nerves, including Charcot’s treatment of hystero-epilepsy in the 1870s, Foucault’s treatment of hysteria, simulation, and the ‘neurological body’ presented in his lectures in 1974, and Elizabeth Wilson’s recent treatment of the Freudian concept of ‘somatic compliance.’ I assemble this eclectic hystero-epileptic archive not in order to present a definitive history of hystero-epilepsy, but rather to think about how illness is made, unmade, and remade in the clinic and narrative.

Abstract:
Early traditional mental health policies in Japan did not protect the rights of patients with mental illnesses, with public safety prioritised over human rights. The situation has since improved, but these early perceptions have impacted on current mental health policies in Japan. Dr Minori Utsunomiya, Aichi Prefectural University, Japan, believes past policies are the root of many challenges facing people with mental illness and she is exploring Japan's complex history of mental health and psychiatric care to shed light on the correlation between past and present mental health policies. Key foci for Utsunomiya are the Psychiatric Custody Law of 1900, the Psychiatric Hospital Law of 1919 and the Mental Health Act of 1950 and she is exploring these laws from two perspectives: pre-World War II to post-war continuity/discontinuity and the structure of acceptance and exclusion for people with mental illnesses. As such, Utsunomiya embarked on an exploration of the process of the revision and abolition of laws and deliberation with respect to bills related to mental illness, investigated the roles and functions of public psychiatric hospitals and analysed the causal relationship between the revision of laws related to mental illness and social incident.

Abstract:
Patients referred over 28 months from nine medical centres for a trial of prophylactic neuroleptic medication following first episodes of schizophrenic illness (462) were assessed with the Present State Examination, WHO scales for disability, past history, and socio-demographic factors, and a rating of disturbed behaviour; 253 fulfilled the study criteria; of the 209 who did not, 54 did not meet the diagnostic criteria, 65 had a history of a previous episode, and in 15 the psychotic illness was found to have an organic basis. The interval between onset of illness and admission varied widely, but was often more than one year and associated with severe behavioural disturbance and family difficulty e.g. in arranging appropriate care. Current arrangements for initiating management of first schizophrenic illnesses are frequently unsatisfactory.

Abstract:
This article traces the history of the way in which mental disorders were viewed and treated, from before the birth of Christ to the present day. Special attention is paid to the process of deinstitutionalization in the United States and the failure to create an adequately robust community mental health system to care for the people who, in a previous era, might have experienced lifelong hospitalization. As a result, far too many people with serious mental illnesses are living in jails and prisons that are ill-suited and unprepared to meet their needs.

Abstract:
SynopsisA Past History Schedule (PHS) for use in conjunction with the Present State Examination (PSE) is described. The PHS/PSE interview enables a rating of ‘lifetime ever’ psychopathology to be performed. It provides good inter-rater reliability, as well as a satisfactory agreement between retrospective interviews and casenote-based assessment of past psychopathology. The PHS has been devised specifically for use in a family-genetic study of affective illness, but the general approach may be applicable to other categories of psychiatric disorder.

Abstract:
A review is presented of the meaning of neuralgia - from its introduction in 1801, to indicate an affection of one or more nerves causing pain, to its present day use. There was early dispute whether neuralgia required a lesion to be present in the nerve, and whether peripheral branches, nerve roots or the neuraxis was involved. Affections of organs were seen as a cause and the concept was extended to include links with psychological illness. In the last decades of the 19th century and throughout the 20th century, opinion on neuralgia gradually moved closer to the original meaning.

Abstract:
BackgroundPsychotic illness is strongly associated with the maternal uniparental disomy (mUPD) genetic subtype of Prader–Willi syndrome (PWS), but not the deletion subtype (delPWS). This study investigates the clinical features of psychiatric illness associated with PWS. We consider possible genetic and other mechanisms that may be responsible for the development of psychotic illness, predominantly in those with mUPD.MethodThe study sample comprised 119 individuals with genetically confirmed PWS, of whom 46 had a history of psychiatric illness. A detailed clinical and family psychiatric history was obtained from these 46 using the PAS-ADD, OPCRIT, Family History and Life Events Questionnaires.ResultsIndividuals with mUPD had a higher rate of psychiatric illness than those with delPWS (22/34 v. 24/85, p<0.001). The profile of psychiatric illness in both genetic subtypes resembled an atypical affective disorder with or without psychotic symptoms. Those with delPWS were more likely to have developed a non-psychotic depressive illness (p=0.005) and those with mUPD a bipolar disorder with psychotic symptoms (p=0.00005). Individuals with delPWS and psychotic illness had an increased family history of affective disorder. This was confined exclusively to their mothers.ConclusionsPsychiatric illness in PWS is predominately affective with atypical features. The prevalence and possibly the severity of illness are greater in those with mUPD. We present a ‘two-hit’ hypothesis, involving imprinted genes on chromosome 15, for the development of affective psychosis in people with PWS, regardless of genetic subtype.

Abstract:
AbstractInsight is an elusive concept in psychiatry with a long history of divergent definitions and methods of measurements. Although insight was previously presumed to be a binary construct that an individual could possess or lack, there is an emerging consensus that insight is a multi-dimensional construct consisting of a spectrum of phenomena. Over recent years there has been increasing interest in the topic of insight, especially in relation to psychotic disorders where insight is frequently diminished. In this educational review we will discuss the history associated with the construct of insight, current theories in relation to insight, the association of insight with clinical symptoms and prognosis with particular reference to psychosis, the various methods of measuring insight, the aetiology of insight and present deficiencies in our understanding of insight.

Abstract:
AimsTo assess how patients with dementia present to services and reasons for delayed presentation among patients with dementia in Sri Lanka.MethodA descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among 83 newly diagnosed patients with dementia and their caregivers at the University Psychiatry Unit, National Hospital of Sri Lanka. They were interviewed using a semi-structured pre-tested questionnaire. Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) was utilized for data analysis.ResultThe mean age of the patients was 71.53(SD = 7.595)years. The commonest type of dementia in the cohort was Alzheimer's disease(N = 49, 59%). The mean untreated duration before the first presentation was 16.33(SD = 16.13) months. A family member or the care-giver had initiated help-seeking in many (N = 65,78.3%). 84.33% of patients had behavioural and Psychological Symptoms of Dementia (BPSD) at first presentation. BPSD was the main reason for help-seeking in 40(48.2%) cases. Among them, psychosis(n = 18,45%), depression(n = 9,22.5%), disinhibition(n = 4,10%) and wandering(n = 3,7.5%) were common.Lack of awareness on dementia (n = 70,93.3% and n = 68,86.1%) and considering cognitive impairment as a normal part of ageing (n = 39,52% and n = 43,54.4%)were the commonest reasons for delayed presentation reported by patients and care-givers respectively. Twelve patients misattributed the symptoms to their existing medical or psychiatric conditions. The mean untreated duration was significantly higher in the patient group with a family history of dementia (30.5 months) compared to those without a family history (12.8 months)(t = 3.818;p = 0.000). Similarly, the mean untreated duration was significantly higher when there is a family history of dementia among the care-givers (25.53months) compared to the group of care-givers without a family history (13.85 months)(t = 2.532;p = 0.013). Age, sex, education, occupation, income, knowledge on dementia of the patients and the caregivers, illness-related characteristics (type, severity, and presence of BPSD) or being in contact with medical services were not significantly associated with the timing of the first presentation.ConclusionThere is a delay of more than one year for patients with dementia to present to services in Sri Lanka. The commonest reason for the presentation is BPSD. Lack of prior awareness of dementia and considering the cognitive impairment as a part of normal ageing by both patients and carers were the main reasons for delayed presentation. Patients with a family history of dementia present late than those without a family history. There is no significant association between the timing of presentation and the socio-demographic factors of the patients and care-givers, the presence of prior knowledge on dementia, illness-related characteristics, or contact with medical services.

Abstract:
Similar to trends in Europe, approaches to mental illness in colonial America and recorded in early United States history were commonly characterized by incarceration and the removal of individuals from communities. In the mid-20th century, a major shift began in which treatment was offered in the community with the aim of encouraging individuals to rejoin their communities. In this paper, we will provide a brief history of community mental health services in the United States, and the forces which have influenced its development. We will explore the early antecedents of community-based approaches to care, and then detail certain factors that led to legislative, peer and clinical efforts to create ‘Community Mental Health Centers.’ We will then provide an overview of current community mental health practices and evolving challenges through to the present day, including the development of services which remain focused on recovery as the ultimate goal.

Abstract:
ABSTRACTHereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) is characterised by the familial aggregation of cancer of the colon and rectum (CRC). It may be caused by any of five mutations in DNA mismatch repair (MMR) genes or by non-genetic factors, such as life style. However, it accounts for only about 2% of CRC, which is a very common cancer. Previous actuarial models, of diseases with only genetic causes, assumed that a family history of the disease shows mutations to be present, but this is not true of HNPCC. This is a significant limitation, since the best information available to an underwriter (especially if the use of genetic test results is banned) is likely to be knowledge of a family history of CRC. We present a Markov model of CRC and HNPCC, which includes the presence of a family history of CRC as a state, and estimate its intensities allowing for MMR genotype. Using this we find the MMR mutation probabilities for an insurance applicant with a family history of CRC. Our model greatly simplifies the intensive computational burden of finding such probabilities by integrating over complex models of hidden family structure. We estimate the costs of critical illness insurance given the applicant's genotype or the presence of a family history. We then consider what the cost of adverse selection might be, if insurers are unable to use genetic tests or family history information. We also consider the effect of using alternative definitions of a family history in underwriting.

Abstract:
Background:Patients with ABI present with a relatively higher risk of developing psychotic illness. A co-morbid psychotic illness may pose multiple challenges in rehabilitation of these patients. The medical literature provides limited information on the nature, presentation, diagnosis, course, and prognosis of psychotic disorders after ABI.Methods:Clinically generated data was used to study the prevalence and nature of co-morbid psychotic illness and cause of ABI amongst inpatients requiring multidisciplinary neurobehavioral rehabilitation. The data were collected in an anonymized fashion and analyzed using SPSS version 16.Results:We examined data from 64 patients (51 Male, 13 Female). The age range was 21-61 years (Mean 39, S.D. 10.6). 40% patients had a history of mental illness or self harm prior to ABI. 16% had sustained their ABI as a result of suicide attempts. 12% had history of schizophrenia or bipolar mood disorder prior to ABI.A third (33%) had a Post-ABI diagnosis of a psychotic illness. The most common diagnosis was organic psychosis (21%) followed by schizophrenia (9%) and bipolar mood disorder (3%). The factors that influenced diagnostic differentiation in organic or non-organic psychotic illness included consideration of past psychiatric history, family history, psychopathology, and course of the disorder. The overall patient group showed a significant difference in post admission and latest HONOS-Secure (P< 0.01) and HONOS ABI (P< 0.01) ratings, showing improvement in outcomes during rehabilitation programme. This difference persisted when sub-groups of psychotic and non-psychotic patients were analysed separately.

Abstract:
Background Studies examining the temporal relationship between substance use and the onset of psychotic symptoms in schizophrenia are inconclusive.Method Three groups of out-patients with schizophrenia were compared on onset of illness, symptoms and quality of life. Fifty-one subjects had no past or present history of substance misuse, 29 subjects had a history of past substance misuse occurring around the onset of their illness, and 33 subjects were currently misusing substances.Results Current substance misusers had poorer quality of life scores and less negative symptoms than the non-users. Those who had a past history of substance misuse had a significantly earlier age of onset than those with no substance use.Conclusions Attention should be paid to substance misuse present at the first episode. Treatment for schizophrenia should begin even though a diagnosis of drug-induced psychosis cannot be ruled out.

Abstract:
Globally, health care providers have been challenged to provide adequate care during the coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Due to the ever changing and rapidly evolving nature of the novel coronavirus, there is increased public anxiety and knowledge gaps that have created major dilemmas in health care delivery. In this environment, there is tremendous pressure on clinicians to diagnose each and every case of COVID-19. This has led to a situation in which clinicians are primed to suspect all respiratory illness is due to COVID-19 infection until proven otherwise. Because of this, providers may misdiagnose patients who have illnesses that are distinct from COVID-19 but present in a similar manner. In the current article, we present the case of e-cigarette- and vaping-associated acute lung injury (EVALI) mimicking pneumonia secondary to the novel coronavirus. It is unknown if vaping puts patients at higher risk of respiratory failure if coinfected with COVID-19. Therefore, exposure history in patients presenting with pneumonia-like syndrome is important. Physicians should be aware of the overlap between these conditions and should pay particular attention during history taking to distinguish EVALI from COVID-19 pneumonia.

BackgroundEpisodes of mass sociogenic illness are becoming increasingly recognised as a significant health and social problem that is more common than is presently reported.AimsTo provide historical continuity with contemporary episodes of mass sociogenic illness in order to gain a broader transcultural and transhistorical understanding of this complex, protean phenomenon.MethodLiterature survey to identify historical trends.ResultsMass sociogenic illness mirrors prominent social concerns, changing in relation to context and circumstance. Prior to 1900, reports are dominated by episodes of motor symptoms typified by dissociation, histrionics and psychomotor agitation incubated in an environment of preexisting tension. Twentieth-century reports feature anxiety symptoms that are triggered by sudden exposure to an anxiety-generating agent, most commonly an innocuous odour or food poisoning rumours. From the early 1980s to the present there has been an increasing presence of chemical and biological terrorism themes, climaxing in a sudden shift since the 11 September 2001 terrorist attacks in the USA.ConclusionsA broad understanding of the history of mass sociogenic illness and a knowledge of episode characteristics are useful in the more rapid recognition and treatment of outbreaks.

Abstract:
Four published memoirs refute culturally dominant ideas about severe mental illness as personal weakness, as something shameful, and as a condition that necessarily leads to isolation and disenfranchisement. The narrative structure and content of the memoirs reveal that people’s experience differs from the hegemonic discourse: while narrating symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, and acceptance of the illness, all four authors present themselves as accomplished, self-possessed, and socially integrated. Their memoirs, and the act of narrating their experiences with mental illness, challenge the established cultural discourse of mental illness as limitation. The narratives help change that discourse and our social attitudes toward people with mental illness.

BackgroundThis exploratory study seeks to generate new hypotheses about the relationship between obstetric complications and schizophrenia.MethodThe British Perinatal Mortality Survey represents 98% of all births during one week in March 1958 in Great Britain. Present State Examination (PSE), Catego diagnoses of narrowly defined schizophrenia (n = 49), broadly defined schizophrenia (n = 79), affective psychosis (n = 44) and neurosis (n = 93) were derived from case notes for all cohort members. The remainder of the cohort, surviving the perinatal period, acted as controls (n = 16 812). Variables in the British Perinatal Mortality Survey were grouped into five categories: the physique/lifestyle of the mother (including demographic characteristics), her obstetric history, the current pregnancy, the delivery and the condition of the baby.ResultsThere were 7/17 significant differences in maternal physique/lifestyle and obstetric history between the births of schizophrenics and controls, compared to 4/40 comparisons of somatic variables relating to pregnancy, birth and the condition of the baby. This compares with 4/17 and 7/40 for affective psychotics and a total of 4/57 differences for all categories of variables when neurotics were contrasted with controls.ConclusionsThe purported increased risk of obstetric complications in schizophrenics may result from the physique/lifestyle of their mothers.

Abstract:
Mental illnesses are of various types and all of them have a great impact on the life of the Sufferer, family members and on the society. This study was conducted by the author in the middle of 2002 to find out types of mental illness prevailing in the community on the patients attended at his private chamber. Total eighty new cases were attended during the study period. A semi structured questionnaire was used to collect relevant data and Mental State Examination was done by the author during clinical interview. Majority of the patients belonged to 11 to 30 year age group. Males were 65% and the rest were females. Muslims and Hindu patients were 86.25 and 13.75% respectively. A good number (11.25%) of the cases were married before 18 years of age and 22.50% had a family history of mental illness. Two-thirds of the cases were from rural background. Psychotic patients were 51.25%. Patients having Mental retardation, Headache and Psychoactive substance use disorder also present. Urban patients suffer more than rural. Findings of this may be helpful in assessing the present disease situation in our community.KYAMC Journal Vol. 4, No.-2, Jan 2014, Page 371-379

AbstractFor achieving the good health and wellbeing for all children, the main role of pediatrician and other health care professionals is to follow their development.We implemented developmental monitoring for 465 children at the age of 12 - 60 months, in the period of 4 years (2016 - 2019), using standard algorithm in which start is always with child history. It should be comprehensive, and must include a detailed prenatal, perinatal, and postnatal history.Obtained results showed that 16.13% of participants have some serious illness in family history, and the same percentage (16.13%) manifested serious perinatal problems which imposed the support in intensive care unit. Breastfeed are 49,46 % of children. Only 7,53 % are not completely vaccinated.About the parameters for the development, we obtained that 11,83 % were not walking at the time of the assessment, and 65,81 % were not speaking. Toilet control was negative, and in 75,27 % they still were wearing diapers.Allergic manifestations at the time when the assessment was done is present in 8,60%. Finally, serious illness in child past history was positive in 19.35 % of evaluated sample.We concluded that a good history is needed and indispensable in the assessment process, particularly when exogenous causes are identified as the risk for the developmental delay. Obtained positive answers are directory for further investigation as well to correlate risk-consequences relationship.

Abstract:
Abstract Thrombocytopenia is common among patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU). Multiple pathophysiological mechanisms may contribute, including thrombin-mediated platelet activation, dilution, hemophagocytosis, extracellular histones, ADAMTS13 deficiency, and complement activation. From the clinical perspective, the development of thrombocytopenia in the ICU usually indicates serious organ system derangement and physiologic decompensation rather than a primary hematologic disorder. Thrombocytopenia is associated with bleeding, transfusion, and adverse clinical outcomes including death, though few deaths are directly attributable to bleeding. The assessment of thrombocytopenia begins by looking back to the patient’s medical history and presenting illness. This past information, combined with careful observation of the platelet trajectory in the context of the patient’s clinical course, offers clues to the diagnosis and prognosis. Management is primarily directed at the underlying disorder and transfusion of platelets to prevent or treat clinical bleeding. Optimal platelet transfusion strategies are not defined, and a conservative approach is recommended.

Abstract:
Introduction: Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) is among the most prevalent and debilitating mental illnesses. Associated physical and psychiatric comorbidities furthur complicate its outlook. The present study was conducted to sort out psychiatric and major physical comorbidities among Nepalese OCD patients presenting to a psychiatric out-patient service. Material And Method: We used the ‘ICD-10: Classification of Mental and Behavioral Disorders’ for diagnosis and the ‘Yale Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale’ (YBOC) for rating OCD symptoms. Psychiatric comorbidity diagnoses were made as per the ICD-10 and physical diagnoses according to the departments from or to where subjects were referred. Results: Of total, 45 (60%) were male. The most commonly affected age groups were 20-29 (39%) and 30-39 (32%). More than half subjects presented after more than five years of illness. Thirteen percent subjects had suicidal intents. Nearly two third subjects had presented with the YBOC score of severe range. Forty percent subjects reported past history and 55% family history of significant illness. One fourth revealed substance use and assessment indicated premorbid cluster C traits/ problems among nearly 45%. Ninteen percent had physical and 63% comorbid psychiatric disorders. Mood, mainly depressive and other anxiety disorders were the most common ones. Conclusion: Many of Nepalese OCD patients present late to psychiatric service when they are severely affected and have other comorbidities. Depressive and other anxiety disorders are the most common psychiatric comorbidities.

Abstract:
The Clinical Effectiveness Group of the Medical Society for the Study of Venereal Diseases and the Association of Genitourinary Medicine published guidelines on the management of pelvic inflammatory disease in 1999. Subsequently, the use of ofloxacin has increased in our department. However, ofloxacin can cause serious psychiatric side effects, particularly in those with a past psychiatric history. This is of relevance to genitourinary medicine (GUM) physicians as there is a high prevalence of psychiatric illness amongst patients attending GUM clinics. We present two cases of ofloxacin causing severe psychiatric symptomatology, in one case causing an acute psychotic reaction. It is recommended a psychiatric history is taken prior to prescribing ofloxacin and that consideration is given to alternative therapy for those with previous psychiatric illness.

Abstract:
Objective Mental illnesses may be caused by genetic and environmental factors. Recent studies reported that mental illnesses were accompanied by higher oxidative stress level. However, the results were inconsistent. Thus, present meta-analysis aimed to analyse the association between oxidative DNA damage indicated by 8-hydroxy-2’-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) or 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2’-deoxyguanosine (8-oxodG), which has been widely used as biomarker of oxidative stress, and mental illnesses, including schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and depression. As oxidative DNA damage is caused by reactive oxygen species (ROS), systematic review and meta-analysis were also conducted to analyse the relationship between ROS and these three mental illnesses.Methods Studies from 1964 to 2020 (for oxidative DNA damage) and from 1907 to 2021 (for ROS) in Pubmed and Scopus databases were selected and analysed using Comprehensive Meta-Analysis version 2 respectively. Data were subjected to meta-analysis for examining the effect sizes of the results. Publication bias assessments, heterogeneity assessments and subgroup analyses based on biological specimens, patient status, illness duration and medication history were also conducted.Results This meta-analysis revealed that oxidative DNA damage was significantly higher in patients with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder based on random-effects models whereas in depressed patients, the level was not significant. Since heterogeneity was present, results based on random-effects model was preferred. Our results also showed that oxidative DNA damage level was significantly higher in lymphocyte and urine of patients with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder respectively. Besides, larger effect size was observed in inpatients and those with longer illness duration and medication history. Significant higher ROS was also observed in schizophrenic patients but not in depressive patients.Conclusion The present meta-analysis found that oxidative DNA damage was significantly higher in schizophrenia and bipolar disorder but not in depression. The significant association between deoxyguanosines and mental illnesses suggested the possibility of using 8-OHdG or 8-oxodG as biomarker in measurement of oxidative DNA damage and oxidative stress. Higher ROS level indicated the involvement of oxidative stress in schizophrenia. The information from this study may provide better understanding on pathophysiology of mental illnesses.

Abstract:
Background: Depressive illness is present among Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients. Objective: The purpose of the present study was to see the influencing factors of development of depressive illness among Parkinson’s disease patients. Methodology: This comparative cross-sectional study was carried out in the Department of Neurology and Department of Psychiatry at Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU), Dhaka, Bangladesh from July 2009 to June 2011 for a period of two (2) years. Parkinson’s disease patients who were attended at the movement disorder clinic and general OPD of Department of Neurology and in-patient department of Neurology at BSMMU, Dhaka were selected as study population. Patients with Parkinson’s plus syndrome, with dementia or other causes of parkinsonism like vascular or drug induced parkinsonism were excluded from this study. Data were collected by filling structured clinical questionnaire, then filling up of ‘structured clinical interview for DSM-IV Axis I disorders’ (SCID-CV) and self-reported ‘Depression scale` questionnaire. Parkinson disease was diagnosed by neurologist by the presence of two or more of the four cardinal criteria namely tremor, rigidity, bradykinesia and postural instability. Then patients were screened for depression by a psychiatrist of Department of Psychiatry at BSMMU, Dhaka. Result: A total of 100 Parkinson’s disease patients were interviewed and 80 patients ultimately participated in the study. The mean age of total Parkinson’s disease patients was 57.71±12.36 years ranging from 35 to 82 years with highest percentage (35%) had age group 65 years or above, 28.7% in 55 to 64 years, 22.5% in 45 to 54 years and lowest percentage (13.8%) in age group less than 45 years. Among 80 Parkinson’s disease patients, depression was present in 34 (42%) patients and was absent in 46 (58%) patients. Diabetes mellitus (p=0.125), hypertension (p=0.097), hypothyroidism (p=1.000), other illness (p=0.595), family history of PD (p=0.758) and levodopa use (p=0.661) were not significantly associated with the development of depressive illness in Parkinson’s disease. Conclusion: Diabetes mellitus (DM), hypertension (HTN), hypothyroidism, other illness, family history of PD and levodopa use do not significantly influence in the development of depressive illness among the Parkinson’s disease.

Abstract:
Summary The present study analyses recent criticisms against the use of modern-historical methodologies in Biblical Studies. These methodologies abstract from the historical horizon of the researcher. In order to relate properly to the historicality of the researcher, historical objectivism needs to be transformed into historical hermeneutics. Recent developments in the historical methodology of biblical scholars are unable to reckon with the historicality of the researcher due to the partial or incorrect implementation of Gadamer’s views on reception history. I analyse the views of Nietzsche, Kierkegaard, and Gadamer on historicality and contend that the study of reception history is a necessary condition for conducting historical study from within the limits of our historicality. Reception history should not be a distinct methodological step to study the “Nachleben” of biblical texts, but needs to clarify how the understanding of these texts is already effected by their history of interpretation. The awareness of the presuppositions that have guided previous interpretations of biblical texts enables us to be confronted by their alterity. This confrontation calls for a synthesis between reception-historical and historical-critical methodology that introduces a new paradigm for conducting historical study in Biblical Studies in dialogue with other theological disciplines.

Abstract Objective The cases describe neuropsychological functioning in a 55-year-old male and 37-year-old female with a history of COVID-19 illness. While COVID-19-related cognitive and psychological impairments are documented, long-term outcomes are not well understood as few case studies exist. The present case studies add to the growing body of literature describing the neuropsychological profile and outcomes in patients with a history of COVID-19 illness at 3 to 12 months post-illness. Method Both patients had confirmed COVID-19 illness with symptoms including fever, headache, ageusia, anosmia, and fatigue. An MRI/DTI/MRS of the brain showed significant changes for both patients. Self-reported cognitive symptoms at the initial evaluation (3 to 6 months post-illness) included problems with memory and attention for both patients. Symptoms of anxiety, depression, and irritability were reported. Results On the initial assessment, both patients showed decline in learning and memory. One patient showed additional decline in attention, executive functions, and processing speed. Symptoms of depression and anxiety were elevated in both patients. Following the initial evaluation, one patient participated in formal cognitive remediation. At the five to ten month follow-up, both patients reported improvements in cognition and psychological functioning. Neurocognitive testing showed improvements across most cognitive domains though residual deficits were noted for one patient in memory and executive functions. Emotionally, symptoms of anxiety and depression remained elevated. Conclusions Results add to the growing body of literature on the course of cognitive decline following COVID-19 illness. While significant cognitive recovery occurs within several months, residual cognitive and emotional problems can remain measurable up to a year post-illness.

Abstract:
SynopsisWe present a 12-month prospective study of hypochondriacal worry in primary care. Data were obtained from 546 family medicine patients at the time of a physician visit for a new illness and again 1 year later. Patients were divided into four groups based on scores on the Illness Worry Scale: non-hypochondriacal (N = 460), transient hypochondriacal (N = 34); emerging hypochondriacal (N = 21); and persistent hypochondriacal (N = 31). Persistent patients had significantly more serious medical history but no more serious current illness than those low on illness worry. Patients with persistent illness worry were more likely than others to have a diagnosis of major depression or anxiety disorder, were more likely to believe that their most important significant other would pathologize new symptoms, yet were less likely to have been encouraged to see the doctor by them. Patients who became less worried over the year reported corresponding decreases in distress, attentiveness to bodily sensations, emotional vulnerability and pathological symptom attributions. We conclude that depressive or anxiety disorders, fears of emotional instability, pathological symptom attributional styles and interpersonal vulnerability provide the best prognostic evidence for enduring illness worry.
