Of 5,412 patients admitted to the University of Iowa Psychiatric Hospital over a ten-year period, forty-six died of cancer during follow-up, which did not differ significantly from expected. Significant excess mortality from cancer was present within the first two years of follow-up. At risk during this period were women and patients with organic mental disorders. A review of relevant literature is presented.

The County Borough of Southend-on-Sea is a seaside town with an estimated population of 166,390 in 1965, approximately 24 per cent. of whom were over the age of 60, as compared with 17.8 per cent. of the total population of England and Wales, and 17.7 per cent. of the population of urban areas, outside the conurbations, with populations of 100,000 and over. As in other seaside towns of a similar character, the suicide rate is high: 181 per million population in 1965, as compared with 108 per million in England and Wales, and 120 per million in urban areas outside the conurbations with populations of 100,000 and over (Registrar-General, 1967). Of 237 (46.4 per cent.) consecutive suicides in Southend 111 were over the age of 60 at the time of death.

SummaryThe patterns of self-reported symptoms in 103 chronic psychiatric patients were examined using the Delusions-Symptoms-Sign Inventory (DSSI). The subjects were all those able to co-operate drawn from the total population of psychiatric patients in Leicestershire who had been in continuous in-patient or day-patient care for over one year. A majority reported dysthymic symptoms and some sort of delusions. Three-quarters produced patterns of response predicted by the hierarchy hypothesis of Foulds.

BackgroundLittle is known about accidental death risks among psychiatric patients.AimsTo examine this issue in the most comprehensive study to date.MethodNational cohort study of all Swedish adults (n = 6 908 922) in 2001–2008.ResultsThere were 22 419 (0.3%) accidental deaths in the total population, including 5933 (0.9%) accidental deaths v. 3731 (0.6%) suicides among psychiatric patients (n = 649 051). Of persons who died from accidents, 26.0% had any psychiatric diagnosis v. 9.4% in the general population. Accidental death risk was four- to sevenfold among personality disorders, six- to sevenfold among dementia, and two- to fourfold among schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression or anxiety disorders, and was not fully explained by comorbid substance use. Strong associations were found irrespective of sociodemographic characteristics, and for different types of accidental death (especially poisoning or falls).ConclusionsAll mental disorders were strong independent risk factors for accidental death, which was substantially more common than suicide.

synopsisFrom the Camberwell Register it was found that 9–14% of all admissions in the years 1965–70 were readmissions within a month of discharge. The characteristics of these patients were compared with the total population admitted. No particular diagnostic category was associated with rapid readmissions but the rapidly readmitted group contained a high proportion of young patients and divorced or separated patients.The case notes of rapidly readmitted patients were examined and compared with the case notes of a control group. The circumstance which predisposed patients to require rapid readmission was the degree of socially disruptive behaviour of the patient.Patients benefited from readmission and the reasons for this are discussed.

AbstractThe Oort cloud probably is the source of Halley-type (HT) comets and perhaps of some Jupiter-family (JF) comets. The process of capture of Oort cloud comets into HT comets by planetary perturbations and its efficiency are very important problems in comet ary dynamics. A small fraction of comets coming from the Oort cloud − of about 10−2− are found to become HT comets (orbital periods < 200 yr). The steady-state population of HT comets is a complex function of the influx rate of new comets, the probability of capture and their physical lifetimes. From the discovery rate of active HT comets, their total population can be estimated to be of a few hundreds for perihelion distancesq <2 AU. Randomly-oriented LP comets captured into short-period orbits (orbital periods < 20 yr) show dynamical properties that do not match the observed properties of JF comets, in particular the distribution of their orbital inclinations, so Oort cloud comets can be ruled out as a suitable source for most JF comets. The scope of this presentation is to review the capture process of new comets into HT and short-period orbits, including the possibility that some of them may become sungrazers during their dynamical evolution.
