Offending Behaviour

SynopsisIn anglophonic countries erotomania has traditionally been regarded as a female disorder of little more than curiosity value. The French literature recognizes the disorder in males, but as a rarity. In a recently collected group of violent male offenders the syndrome proved to be fairly common. The offending behaviour was invariably triggered by the core symptom. A description is provided of four cases whose level of aggression was low but appeared to be directly related to the firmness with which the delusion of being loved was held. The disorder of these men can be regarded as a variant of one of the major functional psychoses, but for the purposes of predicting behaviour and management there may be advantages in treating it as a syndrome in a similar taxonomic category as that of morbid jealousy.

Abstract Background Paraneoplastic neurological syndromes (PNSs) are broad-spectrum disorders that can affect any part of the nervous system varying in core symptoms. Onconeural antibodies, including Hu, Yo, Ri, anti-CV2, amphiphysin, Ma2, and Tr are well-characterized and commonly used for the diagnosis of definite PNS. Generally, anti-CV2 antibodies have usually been associated with cerebellar ataxia, chorea, peripheral and autonomic neuropathies, myelopathy, optic neuritis, and retinitis. However, Parkinsonism has not been reported as the core symptom in patients with anti-CV2 antibodies. Case presentation We report a patient with anti-CV2 antibody manifested as Parkinsonism and autonomic dysfunction, which may lead to the diagnosis of multiple system atrophy with predominant Parkinsonism (MSA-P). A lumbar puncture examination was undergone to find a positive anti-CV2 antibody in cerebrospinal fluid. PET-CT showed no tumor. Immunotherapy was adopted and the symptoms were relieved for 5 months. However, with no evidence of tumor, he died after 8 months. Conclusions Our findings indicate that PNS with anti-CV2 antibody can be shown as MSA-P mimic. Considering that MSA is a neurodegenerative disease with a poor prognosis, screening for other treatable or controllable factors like PNS presented in this case is necessary when encountering a rapid progressive MSA-mimic patient.

Abstract BackgroundFatigue is a kind of non-specific symptom, which is widely found in sub-health and various diseases. It is closely related to people's physical and mental health.Due to lack of objective evidence, it is often neglected in clinical diagnosis,especially in the early stage of disease.A large number of clinical practices and studies have shown that tongue and pulse image are reflection of overall state of the body.Establishing an objective evaluation method for diagnosis of disease fatigue and non-disease fatigue by combining clinical symptom and index and tongue and pulse data is of great significance for timely and effective clinical treatment.MethodsIn this study, 2362 physical examination subjects were divided into healthy control, the group of sub-health fatigue and disease fatigue ,used complex network technology to screen out the core symptoms and western medicine indexes of fatigue,respectively. Constructed the core symptom network and the core symptom-index network. At the same time, used canonical correlation analysis to get the associated relationship of tongue and pulse, and analyzed the characteristic of the tongue and pulse data.ResultsThere were some similarities between the core symptoms of sub-health fatigue and disease fatigue,as well as differences. Symptom-index associated analysis of disease fatigue showed that the core indexes in the group of disease fatigue group had a significant canonical correlation, with the canonical correlation coefficient was 0.42 (P < 0.05). There was no statistically significant correlation between the tongue and pulse data in sub-health fatigue group.ConclusionsThe complex network technology was suitable for the correlation analysis of symptoms and indexes in the fatigue population, and the tongue and pulse objective data had certain diagnostic contribution to the classification of fatigue population.Name of the registry: Chinese Clinical Trial RegistryTrial registration number: ChiCTR-IOR-15006502; ChiCTR1900026008Date of registration: Jun. 04th, 2015URL of trial registry record:http://www.chictr.org.cn/showprojen.aspx?proj=11119;http://www.chictr.org.cn/edit.aspx?pid=38828&htm=4 (This is a retrospective registration)

This article examines the post-sanction offending behaviour of individuals who received a warning or exclusion from a Business Crime Reduction Partnership in England. Noteworthy desistance occurred following the receipt of the warning (76%) and the exclusion (37%). Displacement of offending was observed, with most of those who continued to offend doing so only at business premises away from where they received their initial sanction. Variation in post-sanction offending behaviour was explored according to offender age and sex, offence time and whether the offence concerned theft, violence, abuse or alcohol. Higher rates of recidivism were observed among male offenders and those committing abuse offences, higher rates of displacement among those who committed theft offences, and the most varied and unpredictable offending among those who continued to offend post-exclusion. The findings presented here highlight the importance of holistic, multi-sector Business Crime Reduction Partnerships that make information on offenders easily accessible to their members.

Core Symptom

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a heterogeneous disease that is characterized by abnormalities in social communication and interaction as well as repetitive behaviors and restricted interests. Structural brain imaging has identified significant cortical folding alterations in ASD; however, relatively less known is whether the core symptoms are related to neuroanatomical differences. In this study, we aimed to explore core-symptom-anchored gyrification alterations and their developmental trajectories in ASD. We measured the cortical vertex-wise gyrification index (GI) in 321 patients with ASD (aged 7–39 years) and 350 typically developing (TD) subjects (aged 6–33 years) across 8 sites from the Autism Brain Imaging Data Exchange I (ABIDE I) repository and a longitudinal sample (14 ASD and 7 TD, aged 9–14 years in baseline and 12–18 years in follow-up) from ABIDE II. Compared with TD, the general ASD patients exhibited a mixed pattern of both hypo- and hyper- and different developmental trajectories of gyrification. By parsing the ASD patients into three subgroups based on the subscores of the Autism Diagnostic Interview—Revised (ADI-R) scale, we identified core-symptom-specific alterations in the reciprocal social interaction (RSI), communication abnormalities (CA), and restricted, repetitive, and stereotyped patterns of behavior (RRSB) subgroups. We also showed atypical gyrification patterns and developmental trajectories in the subgroups. Furthermore, we conducted a meta-analysis to locate the core-symptom-anchored brain regions (circuits). In summary, the current study shows that ASD is associated with abnormal cortical folding patterns. Core-symptom-based classification can find more subtle changes in gyrification. These results suggest that cortical folding pattern encodes changes in symptom dimensions, which promotes the understanding of neuroanatomical basis, and clinical utility in ASD.
