Abstract

Objective: The authors explored the family history and psychiatric comorbidity of a group of compulsive buyers who volunteered for medication studies. Compulsive buying is characterized by inappropriate shopping and spending behavior that leads to impairment. Method: Thirty-three subjects who met the criteria of McElroy and colleagues for compulsive buying, and who scored more than two standard deviations above the mean on the Compulsive Buying Scale, were recruited. Twenty-two comparison subjects were recruited in the course of another study, and the presence of obsessive-compulsive disorder was the only reason for exclusion. Both groups were administered the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-III-R disorders. The Family History Research Diagnostic Criteria were used to collect information about psychiatric disorders in first-degree relatives. Results: Compulsive buyers had a mean age of 40 years; two (6%) were men. Comparison subjects had a mean age of 39 years; six (27%) were men. The two groups differed in gender distribution but not in age, marital status, or educational achievement. Compulsive buyers were more likely than comparison subjects to have lifetime mood disorders (especially major depression) and to have more than one psychiatric disorder. First-degree relatives of compulsive buyers were more likely than comparison relatives to suffer from depression, alcoholism, and a drug use disorder and to suffer more psychiatric disorders in general. Conclusions: These results indicate that persons who report compulsive buying behavior, and their first-degree relatives, are more likely to have a higher prevalence of psychiatric disorder than are comparison subjects.

Abstract

BACKGROUND: To assess the lipid-lowering effects and safety of atorvastatin and niacin in patients with combined hyperlipidemia or isolated hypertriglyceridemia. METHODS: We performed a randomized, open-label, parallel-design, active-controlled, study in eight centers in the United States. We enrolled 108 patients with total cholesterol (TC) of [is greater than or equal to] 200 mg/dL, serum triglycerides (TG) [is greater than or equal to] 200 and [is less than or equal to] 800 mg/dL, and apolipoprotein B (apo B) [is greater than or equal to] 110 mg/dL. Patients were randomly assigned to receive atorvastatin 10 mg once daily (n = 55) or immediate-release niacin 1 g three times daily for 12 weeks (n = 53). Patients were stratified based on low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C): Patients with LDL-C [is greater than or equal to] 135 mg/dL were considered to have combined hyperlipidemia and patients with LDL-C [is less than] 135 mg/dL were considered to have isolated hypertriglyceridemia. The primary outcome measure was percent change from baseline in LDL-C. Other lipid levels were evaluated as secondary parameters. RESULTS: Atorvastatin reduced LDL-C 30% and TC 26% from baseline, and increased high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (FIDL-C) 4%. Total TG were reduced 17%. Niacin reduced LDL-C 2%, TC 7%, increased HDL-C 25%, and reduced total TG 29% from baseline. There was a significant difference in LDL-C reduction, the primary efficacy parameter, between the two treatment groups (P [is less than] 0.05, favoring atorvastatin), as well as a significant difference in the improvement in HDL-C (P [is less than] 0.05, favoring niacin). The effect of atorvastatin was relatively consistent between patients with combined hyperlipidemia and isolated hypertriglyceridemia, whereas there was more variability between these strata in the niacin treatment group. Atorvastatin was better tolerated than niacin. CONCLUSION: Atorvastatin may allow patients with combined hyperlipidemia to be treated with monotherapy and offers an efficacious and well-tolerated alternative to niacin for the treatment of patients with isolated hypertriglyceridemia.

Abstract

Transcriptomic imputation approaches combine eQTL reference panels with large-scale genotype data in order to test associations between disease and gene expression. These genic associations could elucidate signals in complex genome-wide association study (GWAS) loci and may disentangle the role of different tissues in disease development. We used the largest eQTL reference panel for the dorso-lateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) to create a set of gene expression predictors and demonstrate their utility. We applied DLPFC and 12 GTEx-brain predictors to 40,299 schizophrenia cases and 65,264 matched controls for a large transcriptomic imputation study of schizophrenia. We identified 413 genic associations across 13 brain regions. Stepwise conditioning identified 67 non-MHC genes, of which 14 did not fall within previous GWAS loci. We identified 36 significantly enriched pathways, including hexosaminidase-A deficiency, and multiple porphyric disorder pathways. We investigated developmental expression patterns among the 67 non-MHC genes and identified specific groups of pre- and postnatal expression.

Abstract

Byline: Neal D. Hillman, Jon N. Meliones, Donald R. Black, Damian M. Craig, Ira M. Cheifetz, Peter K. Smith Abstract: Acute respiratory distress syndrome continues to be associated with significant morbidity and mortality related to ventilation-perfusion mismatch, pulmonary hypertension, and right ventricular failure. It has been suggested that inhaled nitric oxide, which is a selective pulmonary vasodilator, may be effective in the treatment of acute respiratory distress syndrome; however, the effects of nitric oxide on cardiopulmonary interactions are poorly understood. We therefore developed a model of acute lung injury that mimics the clinical syndrome of acute respiratory distress syndrome. In our model, inhaled nitric oxide significantly reduced pulmonary artery pressure, pulmonary vascular resistance, and pulmonary vascular impedance. In addition, inhaled nitric oxide improved transpulmonary vascular efficiency and ventilation-perfusion matching, which resulted in increased arterial oxygen tension. Although arterial oxygen tension increased, oxygen delivery did not improve significantly. These data suggest that by improving ventilation-perfusion matching and arterial oxygen tension while lowering pulmonary vascular resistance and impedance, nitric oxide may be beneficial in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome. However, additional measures to enhance cardiac performance may be required.

Abstract

Negative attitudes toward borderline personality disorder (BPD) can present a barrier to those seeking care. We explored caring attitudes toward BPD among 860 mental health professionals, including psychiatrists, psychologists, social health educators, nurses, and social workers. The results showed that social workers and nurses scored significantly lower on caring attitudes than psychiatrists, social health educators, and psychologists. Our analysis showed that the more BPD patients treated in the past year, more years of experience in mental health, and having prior BPD training were positively associated with caring attitudes scores. For all professional subgroups, except for social health educators, the caring attitudes score is higher in those who have had prior BPD training, and for professionals with low and medium level of experience in mental health. This result shows that training on BPD should target less experienced clinicians and those professional groups who had less opportunity to receive such education. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Background: Fluvastatin sodium is a new, entirely synthetic 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase inhibitor that may be an effective lipid-lowering agent in patients whose hyperlipidemia does not respond to dietary therapy. We conducted a study to evaluate the effects of fluvastatin on lipoprotein levels in subjects with primary hypercholesterolemia and to compare the efficacy and safety of two fluvastatin sodium dosing regimens: 20 mg once daily vs 10 mg twice daily. Design: We conducted a double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter trial involving 207 patients with low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels of 4.15 mmol/L (160 mg/dL) or higher despite dietary intervention and with triglyceride levels of 3.38 mmol/L or lower. Three parallel treatment groups received 6 weeks of treatment with 20 mg of fluvastatin sodium once daily, 10 mg of fluvastatin sodium twice daily, or a placebo. Results: Total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels were reduced from baseline by 16% and 22%, respectively, with 20 mg of fluvastatin sodium once daily (P

Abstract

Objective: The authors sought to determine the frequency of DSM-III personality disorders in subjects with obsessive-compulsive disorder, well comparison subjects, and their first-degree relatives. Method: Thirty-two subjects with obsessive-compulsive disorder and 33 age- (within 5 years) and gender-matched well comparison subjects were assessed with the Structured Interview for DSM-III Personality Disorder and several self-report instruments. Their first-degree relatives were assessed in a blind manner with the same instruments. Results: Subjects with obsessive-compulsive disorder were more likely than well comparison subjects to have a personality disorder, but compulsive personality was not the most frequent. No significant differences were found in the prevalence of personality disorders among first-degree relatives, including compulsive personality, or in obsessional, hysterical, or oral character traits. Conclusions: Personality disorders are highly prevalent among patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder, but the data do not support a relationship between obsessive-compulsive disorder and compulsive personality.

Abstract

Objectives: The authors sought to determine the association between mental disorder and morbid obesity, defined as weight at least 100% or 100 lb over ideal body weight. Method: Eighty-eight morbidly obese subjects who had come to a tertiary care center surgery clinic requesting vertical banded gastroplasty were systematically interviewed with the National Institute of Mental Health Diagnostic Interview Schedule (DIS) and the Structured Interview for DSM-III Personality Disorders. A comparison group of 76 psychiatrically normal subjects who were matched in age (within 5 years) and gender to the morbidly obese subjects were also interviewed. Results: Most of the morbidly obese subjects were women, were of low socioeconomic status as indicated by method of payment for medical care, weighed more than 300 lb, and had been obese for more than 14 years. The morbidly obese subjects were more likely than the comparison group to have a lifetime history of mood disorders, anxiety disorders, bulimia, and tobacco dependence. The morbidly obese subjects were also more likely to meet diagnostic criteria for one or more personality disorders. Conclusions: Substantial psychopathology exists in morbidly obese individuals requesting gastroplasty, a finding that has important clinical implications.

Abstract

Forty college and university directors of field experiences (from 40 different states) responded to a survey on their payment practices for cooperating teachers. A wide variety of payment practices exists among the states, ranging from no payment, tuition waivers, to various amounts of money. Most directors indicated that their system of payment was consistent with other institutions in their state. The majority of respondents, whose university operated on the semester system, said that there was no difference in payment for quarterly versus semester arrangements. Few changes were noted in the amount paid to cooperating teachers in the past ten years. Fifty percent of the directors knew of no impending pay changes among the institutions in their state. The state board of regents, state legislature, and state educational association were mentioned as having the most influence on payment practices. Sixty-five percent of the respondents said that school administrators were not paid for having a student teacher in the building. Eighteen percent of the directors indicated that they paid teachers for working with early field experience (pre-student teaching) students. It is concluded that, to ascertain if a trend is emerging to change present payment policies regarding cooperating teachers, a broader indepth survey should be made. (FG)

293. Adventures with a Compulsory Computer Literacy Course in the Practicum Year.

Author

Black, Donald B.

Abstract

This paper describes the problems and successes associated with the introduction of a compulsory computer literacy course to approximately 600 professional year students in the Faculty of Education Department at the University of Calgary (Alberta, Canada) during the fall 1984 and spring 1985 semesters. The events leading up to the introduction of the course are explained and descriptions are provided of problems encountered in implementing the course, including budget restrictions; insufficient staffing for course development; lack of available hardware and software; scheduling of professional year student classes; and limited classroom space. On the more positive side, the staff felt that that most course objectives were met, and the majority of students gave the course a favorable rating. It was concluded that: (1) the course should be piloted; (2) instructors must be prepared to spend a great deal of time for teaching and evaluating the course; (3) the course could be used for operational research; (4) the programming component should be reduced and more computer literacy content included; (5) learning theories should be used in course development; and (6) instructors should be prepared to be in a constant state of change. Data for the two semesters are compared for three dimensions of the evaluation: the time allotments for specific topics covered, number and weighting of assignments and examinations toward the grade, and student ratings of the course. A six-item bibliography is provided. (DJR)
