The development of the methods for the extraction, identification, and quantitative determination of alimemazine in the biological fluids from the laboratory animals under the acute poisoning conditions

There is the present-day tendency toward prescribing atypical neuroleptics for the management of neurologic and psychic disorders. Alimemazine appears to be very frequently used for this purpose due to the broad spectrum of its actions. At the same time, cases of alimemazine poisoning with the fatal outcome have been described. The objective of the present study was determine alimemazine in the biological fluids from the laboratory animals under the acute poisoning conditions. The experiments were carried with the use of the Wistar rats having 200 g body weight. Alimemazine was isolated from their biological fluids (blood plasma and urine) using the liquid-liquid extraction techniques developed specially for the purpose of this study. Alimemazine was extracted and quantitatively determined by HPLC and HPLC/MS. The method for the isolation of alimemazine from the urine and blood plasma is described. The results of the study give evidence that the maximum amount of the substance of interest can be extracted from the blood plasma within 1 hour after the administration of the toxic dose of alimemazine and within 2 hours after the administration of its therapeutic dose. The maximum amount of alimemazine in the urine is found within 3 hours after the administration of its therapeutic dose to the laboratory animals. It is concluded that the proposed methods for the extraction of alimemazine from the biological fluids can be included in the scheme of the chemical toxicological analysis of this substance.

Role of Ayurveda in the management of Apasmara: A case study

Apasmara (epilepsy) is defined by Acharya Charaka as Apagama (deterioration) of Smriti (retention) associated with Bibhatsa Chesta (seizers) due to derangement of Dhi and Sattva. The vitiate Dosha related to the condition are Vata and Rajo Dosha. The main features of Apasmara are impairment in memory or awareness. Even though most of the times, it is considered as Manasrogas (psychic disorders), it is not a Manasroga. Apasmara is one of the diseases, which affects both Sharira (physical) and Manas (mental). A 52-year-old man approached the OPD of Panchakarma department with the impairment of memory in the last 2 years. Earlier he had taken allopathic medicine but he discontinued the medicine due to no significant relief from the adverse effects of the medicines. He was advised with Yoga Basti (enema), Shirodhara (Pouring of medicated oil over head from a distant height), and Nasya (errhine therapy) along with palliative treatment. After 1-month treatment and follow-up, it was observed that the patient was satisfied with treatment and changes in the complaints with improved quality of life. Palliative treatment was advised to the patient for additional.

ВОЗРАСТНЫЕ АСПЕКТЫ КОМОРБИДНЫХ НАРУШЕНИЙ И МЕДИЦИНСКОЙ РЕАБИЛИТАЦИИ У ДЕТЕЙ С ЭПИЛЕПСИЕЙ

Topicality. Further evidential studies are needed to explore medical rehabilitation of patients with epilepsy, its consequences and comorbid disorders during existing seizures as well as the issues of its comprehensive evaluation. Purpose of the work. To determine the frequency and structure of comorbid disorders in children of different age groups during the onset of epilepsy before prescribing anticonvulsant therapy as well as to estimate effectiveness of medical rehabilitation interventions performed differentially according to the unified evaluation of epilepsy severity. Material and methods. We performed a prospective cohort study of 447 children with epilepsy aged from 0 to 17 years before prescribing them anticonvulsant therapy. The frequency of age-related psychic, neurologic and somatic accompanying disorders was studied. Two groups of children who were matched by the main criteria were formed: those who received complex medical rehabilitation (n=233) – the main group, and those who did not (n=214) – the control group. Results. Psychic disorders at the onset of epilepsy were found in 30.6% of cases with the highest frequency in children less than 1 year of age (50.8%), pFisher<0.001. A complex delay of psychic and preverbal development was verified in 53.4% of children under 1 year. Comorbid neurologic disorders at epilepsy onset were noted in 26.6% of cases, and in the group under 1 year neurologic disorders were present in 66.8% of cases. Chronic somatic pathology in children under 1 year was registered in 74.6% of cases, while in older children it was noted in every second patient, pFisher<0.001. In the main group after medical rehabilitation positive dynamics was noted in 30.0% of cases, stable functioning potential – in 67.8%, negative dynamics – in 2.1%. Medical rehabilitation was not associated with aggravation of epilepsy. Conclusion. The study results showed high frequency of comorbid disorders found in children with epilepsy at the onset of disease and before anticonvulsant therapy, which justifies the necessity of performing medical rehabilitation interventions already at disease onset. These interventions performed according to the unified evaluation of patient's state showed high efficacy.

Pszichoszomatikus tünetek gyakoriságát befolyásoló tényezők 18–90 éves nők körében

Psychosomatic health complaints are common in children and adults as well, and affect the quality of later life. Age tendency of psychosomatic complaints are influenced by regional, socioeconomic, environmental and lifestyle factors. Our aims were to reveal the age pattern of the psychosomatic health complaints in Hungarian women aged 18–90 years and to identify those components of lifestyle, body structure and environmental factors that affect the pattern of psychosomatic complaints among 18–90 year-old women.&#x0D; Healthy premenopausal and postmenopausal women were enrolled to the present analysis (n=483). Three groups of the psychosomatic health complaints were used: somatic (abdominal pain, headache, dizziness), psychic (irritability, nervousness, grumpiness) and sleep disorders (awakenings during the night, falling asleep difficulties, waking up tired). Frequency distributions of women experiencing somatic, psychic complaints and sleep disorders often (daily or several times a week) were analysed by comparing the results derived from our previous auxological study. Logistic regression analysis was applied to reveal the relationship between the groups of psychosomatic health complaints and the hypothesized predictive factors.&#x0D; The frequency of the most psycho-somatic complaints reached maximum values in the age-group of 21–25 years and another increase was identified in women aged 56–60. Irritability, waking up tired and awakenings during the night were the most frequently reported symptoms. The frequency of symptom of awakenings during the night increased up to the age group of 61–65 years. The results of the regression analysis revealed that the frequency of the psychic complaints and the level of physical activity affected the frequency of somatic complaints. Age, sleep disorders and somatic complaints were determinants of the psychic complaints. Postmenopausal status and the frequency of the psychic complaints influenced the frequency of sleep disorders.&#x0D; Numerous factors of lifestyle and body structure were tested in the analysis. Special life events (school, work, birth of children, menopause) are suspected in the background of the highlighted periods. More factors (socioeconomic status, nutrition, health condition, disabilities) should be considered in future studies.

Self-esteem and consumption of alcohol, tobacco, and other substances in outsourced workers.

Objective to evaluate self-esteem, the consumption of alcohol, tobacco and other substances in outsourced workers of a public university.Method a descriptive-analytical, cross-sectional, quantitative study developed with 316 outsourced workers from a municipality in the Southeast of Brazil. Data was collected through a characterization tool, the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale and the Alcohol, Smoking and Substance Involvement Screening Test. For data analysis, we used descriptive statistics, Pearson’s chi-square test, Fisher’s exact test, odds ratio and logistic regression.Results the majority of workers had high self-esteem and some used alcohol, tobacco, marijuana and inhalants. A significant association between gender, age group and work shift with self-esteem; between the risk of developing problems related to alcohol consumption with sex, age group, marital status, religious belief and number of children; between the practice of physical activity and the risk of developing problems related to the consumption of tobacco products was found.Conclusion this study contributes to the increase of knowledge due to the small number of researches involving this subject and to contribute to the nurses to have subsidies to work with this population using strategies to combat the triggers of psychic disorders.

Gender differences of alexithymia level in students with non-psychotic psychic disorders

Topicality. Importance of contemporary researches associated with alexithymia at young age is determined by the necessity to change curricula and look for new forms of psychological support directed to social adaptation and harmonious individual development of students. Objective: to examine alexithymia level in students with non-psychotic psychic disorders depending on gender and diagnosis. Materials and methods. During 2015-2017 keeping to the principles of bioethics and deontology a comprehensive examination of 1235 students was conducted. The following methods were applied: clinical, clinical-psychopathological, clinical-epidemiological, clinical-anamnestic, experimental-psychological and statistical. The sample had no significant differences in gender and age composition, place of residence, form of study. The survey was conducted in the intersession period. Alexithymic levels were determined using the Toronto Alexithymic Scale (TAS-26) of G. Taylor. Results. The study conducted has given the following results. Primary examination of a general group found a high level of alexithymia in 204 (16,52%) students, after repeated examination this number was 176 (14,52%) (t=0,61). Analysis of a gender aspect of alexithymia in general sampling found that a high level of alexithymia was mostly peculiar for men – 65 (17,81%) as compared with 139 (15,98%) women. Occurrence of a high level of alexithymia was analyzed among the students with non-psychotic psychic disorders. The patients with neurotic disorders associated with stress and somatoform disorders were found to be the most prone to alexithymia manifestation (F 40.0-48.1) – 55,12%. Those with behavioral syndromes associated with physiological disorders and physical factors were found to be least susceptible (F 50.0-51.4) – 7,87%. Conclusions. Considering a considerable value of alexithymia in the formation of non-psychotic psychic disorders screening is recommended to be made in order to find clinically important levels of alexithymia for young people in the course of planned medical check-ups.

Факторы риска формирования суицидального поведения у детей и подростков (по результатам анализа региональных посмертных судебных экспертиз)

On the basis of a specially developed statistical matrix, which includes more than 50 parameters, 179 conclusions of post-mortem complex forensic psychiatric-psychological expertises carried out in various regions of Russia were analyzed. Typical psychological and psychopathological factors in genesis of suicidal behavior of children and adolescents were identified. The article describes the main psychic disorders diagnosed in minors, among which a high percentage of psychogenic states is noteworthy. Special attention is paid to suicidal statements and attempts, addictive behavior in the pre-suicidal period, adolescents’ means of communication (social networks). The extremely low frequency of requests for specialized assistance to specialists (psychiatrists, psychologists) was noted. It indicates the increased need for psychoeducational measures among the general population. The prospects of interdisciplinary research, which can reveal more differentiated characteristics of suicidal behavior in minors, are outlined.

“Crying For Healing” Formulation in The Frame of Sufistic Counseling

Crying for healing formulation in the frame of sufistic counseling. This study discusses cry formulations for healing various problems, both physical and psychic health disorders that are wrapped in a frame of sufistic counseling. The object of this research is all forms and benefits of crying taken from literature, both literature books and research journals related to healing crying through Sufism. The purpose of this study is to produce crying for healing various problems that interfere with physical and psychological health through Sufism. The method used is descriptive qualitative method with content analysis techniques. The results of his research concluded that the crying for healing formulation in the frame of sufistic counseling included the types, benefits and the correct crying process to cure various problems. The Crying for Healing formulation in the frame of sufistic counseling is a cry accompanied by three things, namely tazkiyah an nafs (cleansing of the soul), riyadhah an nafs (mental training through worship), and taqarrub ila Allah (approaching Allah). The first thing that is done by a problematic individual if using this formulation for sufistic healing therapy is to "seek" God first. Allah is the right place to return. Only He is the source of all solutions and that gives medicine for all diseases.

PSYCHOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF MYSTICAL EXPERIENCES IN HERMAN HESSE’S SIDDHARTHA

This paper is an attempt to study Siddhartha’s spiritual quest for self-knowledge in psychological perspective. It is meant to explore how far and in what ways is the mystical experience on par with secondary integration of personality that occurs only in the wake of the disintegration of several existing psychological structures. The protagonist’s act of overcoming ego-consciousness and disassociating himself with the social labels and ultimately realizing his ‘self’ are analyzed psychologically using Kazimierz Dabrowski’s theory of positive disintegration as a conceptual framework. Herman Hesse’s novel Siddhartha is selected for the study, and textual analysis is employed as a tool to analyse the text culling the relevant passages as evidence. The study reveals that the protagonist of the novel achieves higher level of personality development and the previously held assumptions which confuse spirituality with psychic disorders are overruled. It also asserts the validity of mystical experiences as higher form of consciousness yielding wisdom allowing mystics to transcend the temporal cum spatial barriers thereby elevating to the level of humanity. This paper suggests that the study of different mystical traditions may well lead to one’s personal development and may prove a step towards gaining maturity.Keywords: Mysticism, mystical experience, self-realization, positive disintegration, secondary integration.

Sadomasochism in the Genesis of Violent Sexual Behavior

The last few years have witnessed a considerable increase in the share of persons guilty of violent sexual crimes who have been diagnosed with sexual preferences’ disorders in the form of sadomasochism. There has been a growth in quantitative and a change in qualitative indices of violent sexual crimes which are manifested in more brutal violence, greater physical harm, causing extra suffering not aimed at overcoming the victim’s resistance but acting as a source of additional sexual stimulation. A considerable share of crimes (86 %) is connected with torturing and humiliating victims. These facts testify that there is a correlation between the escalation of sexual violence and sexual preferences’ disorders. The author has conducted a criminological and psychological-psychiatric study of persons guilty of violent sexual crimes that showed that 25 % of participants were diagnosed with sexual preferences’ disorders; besides, 60 % of them had sexual preferences disorders of sadomasochism, mainly in its active form. The author believes that sadomasochism as a psychiatric disorder and sadomasochism as a form of sexual violence have a number of similar manifestations that include violence, cruelty as absolute indifference to the sufferings and the fate of the victim; nevertheless, these destructive phenomena considerably differ in motivation. The current study outlines the diagnostic criteria of sadomasochism which contribute to the correct assessment of a violent sexual offence; it determines the causes and origins of this paraphilia, its impact on the emergence of violent sexual motivation; the study draws clear distinctions between sadomasochism as a psychic disorder accompanied by the weakening of control mechanisms and the disruption in volitional control, and BDSM relationships that are part of modern destructive sexual culture. Research results make it possible to considerably simplify the assessment of the psychic condition of persons who have committed violent sexual crimes; they also help to an important cause of violent sexual crimes, which could become the basis for creating an optimal system for preventing criminal sexual violence.

Histoire de la psychiatrie libérale en Île-de-France

The management of mental and psychic disorders in Paris and its suburbs is old, rich and complex, and has several specificities. His study over a long period of time, from the Ancien Régime to the contemporary period, shows that the private has preceded or inspired the public in several fields, and that the health houses, private asylums and other medical clinics played in our discipline a major role. This study is an opportunity to discuss the main achievements and some of the practitioners who have practiced, some of whom have marked their time and many held a prominent place in the life of our society, and to note some events that helped to end the assimilation of psychiatric assistance to hospital care.

Expertise psychiatrique : quelle est la responsabilité pénale en cas de consommation de cannabis ?

Resume Introduction La consommation de cannabis est depuis quelques annees un probleme de sante publique en France, notamment par la democratisation de cette drogue chez les jeunes. Bien que la legislation soit claire en ce qui concerne la responsabilite des personnes sous l’emprise de stupefiants en cas d’infractions, il n’est pas rare que les personnes soient reconnues irresponsables ou partiellement responsables. L’objectif de cette etude est de determiner si une consommation de cannabis au moment des faits est retenue par les experts comme un facteur de d’alteration ou d’abolition du discernement. Methode Une etude descriptive retrospective realisee dans la region PACA aupres de six experts a recueilli 96 expertises penales en responsabilite pour des infractions commises sous l’emprise de cannabis entre 2016 et 2018. Le critere d’evaluation principal etait le discernement, defini soit comme aboli, altere ou non modifie. Les objectifs secondaires etaient d’observer les facteurs associes a une modification de celui-ci. Resultats La consommation de cannabis n’a pas d’impact sur le degre de discernement. La dependance au cannabis chez l’auteur des faits n’est pas significativement associee a une atteinte du discernement. En revanche, le sexe masculin, l’existence d’un trouble de la personnalite, une immaturite affective, les antecedents psychiatriques, un suivi psychiatrique ou addictologique au moment des faits et une decompensation psychotique sont significativement associes a une atteinte du discernement. Conclusion Ces resultats soulignent l’importance des mesures de prevention et de reduction des risques lies au cannabis, notamment dans ce contexte de legalisation ou depenalisation du cannabis.

Psychosocial aspects of work and minor psychic disorders in nursing: use of combined models.

ABSTRACTObjective:to analyze the combined use of models for the evaluation of work-related psychosocial aspects and their association with the prevalence of Minor Psychics Disorders among nursing workers. Method:cross-sectional study with a sample of 285 nursing workers. Data collection was performed through the application of a structured sociodemographic and occupational questionnaire and the Demand-Control-Support, Effort-Reward Imbalance and Self-Reporting Questionnaire. Descriptive analysis and a multiple logistic regression were performed. Results:the prevalence of suspicion of minor psychics disorders was 32.6%. The dimensions of both models were associated with mental health. The full Effort-Reward Imbalance and Demand-Control and Social Support models predict Minor Psychics Disorders to a greater extent than the combined use of partial models. Conclusion:it was found that the Effort-Reward Imbalance model captured better the magnitude of the Minor Psychics Disorders in this sample of workers compared to the Demand-Control and Social Support model. However, the concomitant use of the theoretical models revealed unique contributions in the evaluation of Minor Psychics Disorders. Considering the complexity of mental illnesses, it is important that different factors be evaluated.

Forbidden insanity: the systematic denial of mental health issues from a state-run psychiatry.

The authors discuss the issue of psychiatric care and patients during the second half of XX century in Albania, when the country was under an absolute regime of communism. Completely isolated from the rest of the world, the territory remained a prohibited area for scholars, and local authors due to censorship or self-censorship, offered very scarce information. The general feeling of the public was that of a denial of psychic disorders in total, combined with the fear that this kind of disorders has ever since provoked. Nevertheless, insanity defence was a formulation encountered with a certain frequency in Albanian judicial procedures, although forensic psychiatry was a peripheral part of an already neglected medical specialty. The entire system of psychiatric care was mainly hospital based, and shock therapies (electroconvulsive therapy, pyretotherapy, insulin coma) were normal part of the therapeutic armamentarium along with antipsychotics and social isolation. Some recently unclassified documents and some archival papers, whose exhaustive consultation needs further study, might shed light to the problems of a psychiatry, that are not substantially different from the ones encountered in the Eastern communist Europe of the same period of time.

L’expertise médico-psychologique en psychotraumatologie (suite) VII — L’évaluation barémique en droit commun : exposé analytique des barèmes, synthèse et discussion

According to the legal civil code, the permanent functional incapacity is quantified with a percentage established with reference to an indicative or imperative scale. According to their chronology of appearance, we approach in the field of psychiatry, and sometimes neurology, the updated versions of the scales of the Concours Medical and the French Society of Legal Medicine before referring to the Guide Barème Européen. Then, we propose a transversal discussion, which will perhaps allow to understand why the percentage assigned to the permanent functional deficit of the post-traumatic psychic disorders has decreased without discontinuity from one republication to the other of the scales for nearly 50 years.

Structural and functional brain alterations in obstructive sleep apnea: a multimodal meta-analysis

ObjectivesObstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a disease with high prevalence, which reportedly influences our eyes, brain, cardiovascular system and endocrine metabolism system. Much of these symptoms are thought to be associated with damage to the brain. However, the basic neural pathophysiologic mechanism underlying these deficits is unclear. In this study, we investigate the specific and common neurostructural/functional abnormalities in OSA patients comparing with healthy people by conducting separate and multimodal meta-analysis of structural and functional magnetic resonance imaging studies. MethodWe search data from the original studies, extract height, coordinates of the peaks of the reported volumetric abnormalities, and recreate a map of the effect sizes of the differences between patients and controls. We use the anisotropic effect-size version of Signed Differential Mapping (AES-SDM) to clarify the robust regions in our brain when suffering from OSA. ResultWe find shared changes in the orbital frontal cortex (OFC), which showed both decreased gray matter volume (GMV) and functional response in OSA patients; as well as GMV of the bilateral anterior cingulate/paracingulate gyri (ACC/ApCC) and hippocampus/parahippocompalgyrus (Hippo/PHG), the orbital frontal cortex (OFC) and Left cerebellum VI decrease. The dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) exhibited hypoactivation relative to controls, whereas the insula showed hyperactivation. ConclusionWe demonstrated the significant alterations of brain structural and functional response in OSA patients. These changes give us a description about underlying neural alterations in OSA patients and may explain the psychic disorders, memory deficits, cardiovascular abnormalities and endocrine metabolism system problems, suggesting the early diagnose and treatment.

The connectivity / conversion paradigm - A new approach to the classification of psychosomatic disorders

The classification systems DSM-5 and ICD-10/11 are predominantly based on a phenomenological description of psychic disorders. Psychological and neurobiological findings are only marginally considered. In a conceptual framework, the article proposes a classification system for psychosomatic disorders encompassing descriptive, psychological, and neurobiological aspects. We suggest “connectivity” (neurobiological term)/“conversion” (psychological term) as the common factor which translates emotional distress into physical symptoms. Three types of “conversion disorder” can clinically be distinguished: 1.) The dissociative type comprises a down-regulation of emotionality. 2.) In the asymbolic-operational type, only the physical part of distress is perceived. 3.) The symbolic-expressive type is characterized by the fact that unconscious, mostly conflict-laden images are presented with the aid of symbolic physical symptoms. In a mixed form, the aforementioned conversion types may occur simultaneously or at different times. This multidimensional classification – against the background of the connectivity/conversion paradigm - might become a prerequisite for specific psychotherapeutic interventions tailored to the respective conversion types.

Localization of Encephalogram Spectral Features in Psychic Disorders

Changes in spectral and spatial features of encephalograms are considered, which are observed in various mental disorders. A systematic bibliographic review is presented, including papers on the estimation of pathology spectrum and its position in brain. First of all, the spontaneous activity of the brain in various states is considered, differing in spatial localization and in coherence between brain areas. Articles presented in review show, that the rhythmic activity of the brain in mental disorders differs from normal in several frequency bands. The method is proposed for precise quantitative analysis of this activity based on the encephalography data. Spatial position of the sources of pathological activity is a key issue of brain studies and it is solved by various localization methods. Results of the localization are presented at the anatomical scheme of the brain or at the subject’s magnetic resonance image and as a result, hypotheses of neurophysiological mechanism of pathology under study are proposed. The comparative analysis of encephalography spectra, registered in various channels, distributed over the scalp, can be considered as the simplest of pathology localization methods. Such localization is qualitative and makes it possible to make very rough conclusions. The method, proposed in this paper, is based on Fourier transform of multichannel encephalography data and on the localization of spectral components. Such approach permits to study in detail some or other frequency features of the brain pathological activity and to reveal their connections with the brain anatomy.

Síndrome de burnout em acadêmicos de enfermagem

A Síndrome de Burnout (SB) refere-se a uma resposta aos níveis elevados de estresse relacionados as situações laborais, estando mais relacionada a profissionais aptos a cuidar do estado de saúde do outro. A enfermagem é uma dessas profissões que sofre com esta síndrome, sendo que pode vir a ocorrer também em estudantes desta graduação. Diante dessa situação o objetivo deste estudo objetivo do estudo foi descrever como os acadêmicos de enfermagem podem desenvolver a SB. Este estudo exploratório-descritivo com abordagem qualitativa, através de revisão bibliográfica sistemática, tipo metassíntese, foi realizada com a coleta de dados através da consulta no portal eletrônico SCIELO, BVS e sua base de dados LILACS, livros e manuais. Foram eleitas 30 publicações entre artigos, teses, dissertações e livros, das quais 18 foram analisadas e utilizadas por meio da categorização temática, através da identificação de características comuns existentes entre títulos e resumos de cada referência, 12 foram excluídas por não estarem de acordo os critérios de inclusão e as outras 9 publicações foram utilizadas para complementar a elaboração do artigo. As pesquisas evidenciaram que não houve ocorrência da Síndrome de Burnout nos acadêmicos, entretanto esse público está vulnerável a fatores predisponentes à síndrome. Contudo, tal síndrome é pouco abordada no público acadêmico, ressaltando-se a necessidade de pesquisas e abordagens mais profundas, contribuindo para prevenção dessa síndrome, para que futuramente o graduando não ingresse no meio profissional já acometido por esse distúrbio psíquico, comprometendo sua qualidade de vida, como também a qualidade de atendimento ao cliente.
