The Relationship

SynopsisIn a geographically defined area sample of 141 long-term psychiatric patients in day care in south London, the relationship between tardive dyskinesia (TD) and other aspects of illness, treatment, and social and psychological functioning were studied. The results are compared with previous findings. TD was significantly associated with parkinsonian symptoms and with the number of years in contact with the psychiatric services. There was a trend, in affective disorder only, towards an association with current neuroleptic dose. The patients with affective disorder also had higher rates of TD than patients with schizophrenia and paranoid psychosis. History of treatment with ECT correlated negatively with TD among those with schizophrenia, and positively among those with affective disorder. As in other studies, duration of neuroleptic treatment did not correlate with the presence or absence of TD. In contrast to some previous reports, age and cognitive status were not related to TD status. Possible reasons for this are discussed.

The demography, psychiatric morbidity, and motor consequences of long-term neuroleptic treatment in the 14 children born to a father with a family history of chronic psychiatric illness and a mother with a late-onset affective disorder resulting in suicide are documented. Twelve siblings lived to adulthood, nine of whom were admitted to a psychiatric hospital in their second or third decade, and required continuous in-patient care; five remaining in hospital, with long-term exposure to neuroleptics, had chroniC., deteriorating, schizophrenic illness and emergence of movement disorder. Two siblings showed no evidence of psychosis but developed a late-onset affective disorder. The implications for the issues of homotypia, vulnerability to involuntary movements, and interaction with affective disorder are discussed.

Results are presented of five consecutive annual examinations using the Abnormal Involuntary Movement Scale for 101 community-based chronic psychiatric patients. These 101 patients had a history of longer and more consistent neuroleptic treatment than the 231 patients who initially entered the study, so no conclusions about prevalence of TD can be drawn. At each examination two-thirds of this group showed signs of TD; however, only 45% were TD positive at most examinations and 24% were best described as having fluctuating TD status. Of those patients who were consistently TD positive, 82% showed no overall significant change in summed AIMS scores, 11% improved and 7% became worse.

Diverse Cultures

Northeast India is situated at the nexus of the South Asian, Southeast Asian, and East Asian biogeographical realms and harbours diverse biota, providing a unique opportunity to archaeologists and anthropologists for the study of the relationship between humans and their environment over the ages. Moreover, this region, the abode of diverse ethnic groups with diverse cultures and customs, hints at a long history of continuous and close association between humans and nature, which is important in the understanding of plant and animal domestication. Genetic analysis of present-day domesticates with their wild counterparts provides valuable insights into their differentiation, time of domestication, and changes in their morphological traits through control by humans. The chapter also elucidates the role played by rice in Northeast Indian culture and highlights the long-term history of rice agriculture in the region.

Neuroleptic drugs cause many forms of extra-pyramidal syndromes. One of these, tardive dyskinesia,1 occurs only after the patient has been taking the drug for some time (‘tardive’ refers to the late onset). The movements are involuntary and repetitive usually involving the face and tongue, but they may also affect the limbs and trunk. Tongue protrusion, licking and smacking of the lips, sucking and chewing movements, grimacing, grunting, blinking and furrowing of the forehead have all been described and attributed to long-continued medication with neuroleptic drugs of the phenothiazine, butyrophenone and thioxanthene groups. The patient can inhibit the movements, but anxiety makes them worse. Many of these symptoms were noticed in schizophrenic patients before neuroleptic drugs were introduced2 and they can occur in otherwise normal untreated elderly people. Nevertheless it is generally accepted that in most cases tardive dyskinesia is an unwanted effect of neuroleptic medication. Despite suggestions to the contrary, the abnormal movements are not necessarily associated with high dosage of neuroleptic drugs or with pre-existing brain damage.3 4 Tardive dyskinesia has been reported in 3–6% of a mixed population of psychiatric patients5 and over half of a group of chronic schizophrenics on long-term treatment.4 The more careful the neurological examination, the greater the apparent incidence.

<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> Landform of lowland is remains of the natural disasters and the history. Residents of this area are influenced of the landform with history of natural disaster. Therefore, there is an inseparable relationship between topography and social life. At Geospatial Information Authority of Japan (GSI), we are creating Thematic maps which clearly express topographic information. We also create, Thematic maps which distinguish the topography from the formation of the land. New findings can be obtained by considering these thematic maps in combination.</p><p> In this paper, we study the relationship between landform and history of Tokyo by comparing “Digital Elevation Topographic Map” and “Marsh data in the early Meiji Period”. (This early Meiji Period here is the 1880s.)</p>

Pendahuluan. Sindrom frailty berkaitan dengan angka morbiditas dan kematian yang lebih tinggi, sehingga dipakai sebagai prediktor kesehatan pada orang usia lanjut (usila). Polifarmasi sebagai salah satu faktor risiko sindrom frailty dapat berkaitan dengan obat Proton Pump Inhibitor (PPI) yang sering diberikan pada usila atas indikasi adanya keluhan gangguan saluran cerna bagian atas. Sampai saat ini belum ada penelitian yang mempelajari hubungan PPI jangka panjang dan sindrom frailty pada usila.Metode. Studi kasus kontrol pada pasien usila di Rumah Sakit dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo (RSCM), Jakarta. Kelompok kasus adalah usila terdiagnosis Frailty menurut FI-40 item dan kontrol adalah usila yang tidak frail berdasarkan instrumen yang sama. Data yang digunakan pada penelitian ini berasal dari data sekunder status frailty berdasarkan penelitian sebelumnya dan data rekam medis poliklinik Geriatri dan poliklinik diabetes RSCM.Hasil. Didapatkan 225 subjek (75 kasus: 150 kontrol), 59,6% berjenis kelamin perempuan (rerata usia 72,14 tahun; simpang baku ± 6,4 tathun) dan 47,1% berpendidikan tinggi. Subjek yang berpendidikan rendah, berstatus cerai mati, berstatus nutrisi lebih buruk, tidak mandiri, memerlukan caregiver, hidup tidak berkecukupan dan kondisi kesehatan yang lebih buruk lebih banyak didapatkan pada kelompok frail dibandingkan kelompok yang tidak frail. Proporsi pengguna PPI Jangka Panjang sebesar 40,9%. Penggunaan PPI jangka panjang meningkatkan risiko sindrom frailty (Crude OR 2,15; IK 95% 1,22- 3,78; p<0,007) dengan adjusted OR 1,83 (IK 1,0-3,36) terhadap variabel nutrisi dan merokok.Simpulan. Penggunaan PPI jangka panjang (≥ 6 bulan) secara independen meningkatkan salah satu risiko sindrom frailty pada usila.Kata Kunci: frailty, geriatri, proton pump inhibitor jangka panjang, usia lanjutThe Effect of Long-Term Proton Pump Inhibitor Use on Frailty Syndrome in Elderly PatientsIntroduction. Frailty syndrome, the newest elderly health predictor, associated with higher morbidity and mortality. PPI are often used in elderly due to presence of upper gastrointestinal complaints, and relates with polypharmacy as one of the risk factor for frailty syndrome. There is no study of the relationship between long term PPI use and frailty syndrome in elderly.Methods. A case control study included subjects 60 years and above with good cognitive status. All subjects with history of hypersensitivity of PPI were excluded. Elderly who were frail based on FI-40 item were defined as cases, while individuals that were not frail were classified as control. Primary data (included frailty status) was collected on March-June 2013 by Seto E and Sumantri S, et al. Secondary data used in this current study were gathered from the primary data of previous research and from the medical record taken from geriatric and diabetic outpatient clinics Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital.Results. There were 225 subjects collected (75 cases: 150 controls), 59,6% were female (mean age 72,14 years old, SD ± 6,4 years) and 47,1% with higher education. Lower education, divorced, poor nutrition, dependent, needed caregiver, economically insufficient, more comorbidity and poor health condition were seen in frail group. The proportion of long term PPI use were 40,9%. Long term PPI medication increased the risk of frailty syndrome (Crude OR 2,154; CI 95% 1,225-3,778; p<0,007) with adjusted OR 1,83 (CI 95% 1,02-3,37) after adjusting with nutrition and smoking variables.Conclusions. Long term use of PPI significantly increase the risk of frailty syndrome compared to the non-users.

Abstract INTRODUCTION Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the US. The effects of TBI on quality of life may not become apparent for years after the injury. There are conflicting reports in the literature regarding long term outcomes. Physicians are often asked to predict long term functional and cognitive outcomes, with limited data available. METHODS Patients with severe TBI (GCS = 9) who previously participated in a clinical trial during the 1980s were followed up with and compared to healthy controls without history of TBI. A health questionnaire, sports concussion assessment tool version 3 (SCAT3) and the Telephone Interview for Cognitive Status-modified (TICS-m) were completed over the phone and compared with controls using t-test. GCS at admission and 12-month GRS were used to predict to TICS-M at 30 years using linear regression. RESULTS >45 of the initial 168 subjects were confirmed alive, and 37 (13 females; mean age: 52.43 years S.D. 10.7) consented. Controls (n = 58; 23 females; mean age = 54 years, S.D. 11.5) had lower symptom severity score (6.7 S.D. 12.6 versus 20.6 S.D. 25.3; P = 0.005), lower total number of symptoms (3.4 S.D. 4.7 versus 7.12 S.D. 6.5; P = 0.006), higher standardized assessment of concussion score (25.6 S.D. 2.8 versus 21.2 S.D. 6.9; P = 0.001), and lower corrected MPAI-4 (22.3 S.D. 17.0 versus 43.7 S.D. 12.8; P < 0.001). GCS at admission did not predict cognitive status at 30-years assessed using TICS-M (P = 0.345). The Glasgow Outcome Scale score at 12-months was correlated to TICS-M at 30 years (R = 0.548, P < 0.001); each point decrease in GOS decreasing the score at TICS-M by 5.6 points. CONCLUSION Remote history of TBI disrupts the lives of survivors long after injury. Admission GCS does not predict cognitive status 30 years after TBI. The GOS at 12-months predicted the cognitive status assessed using TICS-M score at 30 years.

Background: Caesarean scar defect (CSD), also called isthmocele or niche is a long-term complication, which can be asymptomatic or can give rise to chronic pelvic pain, dyspareunia and postmenstrual spotting. The objective of this study was to assess the association of CSD with clinical symptoms, position of the uterus and the number of caesarean sections.Methods: This was a prospective observational study done at a tertiary care teaching hospital from January 2019 to December 2019. The study included women with history of previous one or more caesarean sections with demonstrable CSD on transvaginal ultrasound. Various scar dimensions noted were width and depth of the scar. A deficiency ratio was calculated as a ratio of residual myometrium at the scar to the adjacent myometrium.Univariate analysis was done to assess the relationship of clinical symptoms with the defect parameters and number of previous caesarean sections. Multiple logistic regression analysis was done to find out the association between symptoms and number of previous caesarean sections with the scar defect dimensions.Results: The width, depth and deficiency ratio of the CSD were significantly higher in study subjects with a greater number of caesarean sections. Retroflexed uteri had larger CSD. There was no association of clinical features with the defect dimensions and the position of the uterus.Conclusions: CSD dimensions and deficiency ratio correlate with the number of previous caesarean sections and the position of the uterus. There was no association of clinical symptoms with the defect parameters.
