Portal Systemic Shunt

We report an elderly male patient with hyperammonemia induced by intrahepatic portal-systemic shunt without cirrhosis (IPSSwoC). The occasional emergence of his erratic behaviors was misdiagnosed as a psychiatric disorder. Regardless of his uneven symptoms, IPSSwoC was suspected due to his hyperammonemia. The contrast computed tomography of the abdomen revealed a congenital type of IPSSwoC. As blood ammonia levels are inconstant, repeated blood tests are recommended when this disease is suspected in elderly patients with psychiatric symptoms.

Aim:We want to present a polymorphic clinical features like: hallutinations, paranoid ideas, agitation and violence as a result of prolonged cocaine intranasal consumption.Methods:We exposed a 30-year old male patient with ICD-X diagnostic criteria for cocaine dependence (intranasal consumption) that treated in the outpatient unit of Special Hospital of Addicitons, Belgrade, Serbia from April to July 2008. We used the medical records, psychical examination, psychiatric interwievs, standard blood sampling and cocaine urine detections sample (positive).Results:Observations a specific and polymorphic clinical features with presence of psychotic symptoms after cocaine consumptions in our male patient, for the first time after 5 years of cocaine dependence: auditory hallucinations (two- voice speakers), paranoid persecution ideas and suspiciousness, agitation with appearance of vegetative symptomatology (palpitations, sweating, pupil dilatation), extremely violence behavior to other people, complete social reductions (“armed to the outside world”, refused any personal contact and isolated from friends and family, permanent outdoor checking). There was an intensive fear too and impaired judgment.Conclusions:Permanent cocaine consumption can result with produce a numerous of psychiatric symptoms and syndromes as our experience does. It is similar to the findings of other studies and papers reviewed. It is suppose that cocaine has numerous effects on important neurotransmitters in the brain, such as increase as well as the release of dopamine and it related with aggressiveness, hallucinations and other psychiatric symptoms.

AbstractWe had previously reported the case of a male patient with schizophrenia, having de-novo balanced translocation. Here, we determined the exact breakpoints in chromosomes 4 and 13. The breakpoint within chromosome 4 was mapped to a region 32.6 kbp upstream of the LDB2 gene encoding Lim domain binding 2. Variant screening in LDB2 revealed a rare novel missense variant in patients with psychiatric disorder.

Koro, in its complete, classic form has been described as a culture bound syndrome. It usually occurs in otherwise healthy individuals in the context of acute, severe anxiety. The incomplete form of Koro is said to occur as part of a recognizable primary psychiatric disorder. A case report is presented for the first time of Koro in association with phobia for AIDS. A cognitive-behavioral approach was utilized in the management of the AIDS phobia and symptoms of Koro.

Self Administered Questionnaire

Objective: To evaluate the relationship among demographic data, anxiety, significant losses, depression, and irrational beliefs reported by first-offence shoplifters. Method: One hundred and six adult shoplifters who were first-time offenders completed a self-administered questionnaire. Results: Men and women were equally likely to be arrested for this offence. The majority of offenders were poor and unemployed. Depression, but not anxiety, was the most common psychiatric disorder associated with shoplifting. Subjects with depression presented the greatest number of irrational beliefs related to shoplifting. Conclusions: The authors suggest 2 categories of shoplifters: those who shoplift through rational choice; and those for whom shoplifting is a response to depression or leads to the fulfilment of some psychological needs. In conclusion, shoplifting does not have a unitary motive, and the clinical implications are that the affective and cognitive aspects of shoplifters' behaviours must be taken into account.

Monosomal Karyotype

Abstract Abstract 3069 Background: Monosomal karyotype (MK) is defined as the presence of two or more distinct autosomal chromosome monosomies or a single autosomal monosomy associated with at least one structural abnormality (Breems DA et al. J Clin Oncol 2008; 26: 4791). In acute myeloid leukemia (AML), MK has been shown to be prognostically worse than complex or other unfavorable karyotype (Breems DA et al. J Clin Oncol 2008; 26: 4791). In primary myelofibrosis (PMF), complex karyotype or isolated trisomy 8 predicts inferior survival (Hussein K et al. Blood 2010; 115: 496). Objective: To determine if MK in PMF is prognostically distinct from previously defined poor cytogenetic risk categories including complex karyotype and isolated trisomy 8. Methods: The Mayo Clinic database for PMF was used to identify consecutive patients with unfavorable karyotype including complex karyotype and sole trisomy 8. WHO criteria were used for PMF diagnosis and leukemic transformation (Vardiman JW et al. Blood 2009; 114: 937). Results: Among 793 PMF patients with cytogenetic information at the time of their first time referral to the Mayo Clinic, 452 displayed a normal karyotype and 341 (43%) an abnormal karyotype. Of the latter, 41 (12%) displayed complex karyotype and 21 (6%) sole trisomy 8. Among the 41 patients with complex karyotype, 17 (42%) met the criteria for MK and 24 (58%) displayed complex karyotype without monosomies. Overall survival was significantly inferior in patients with MK compared to those with either complex karyotype without monosomies (p=0.02; HR 2.3, 95% CI 1.1–4.8) or trisomy 8 (p=0.02; HR 2.4, 95% CI 1.2–5.1) (Fig. 1). Prognosis among all three groups was significantly worse than patients with normal karyotype (Fig. 1). Leukemia-free survival was also significantly inferior in patients with MK compared to those with either complex karyotype without monosomies (p=0.02; HR 6.9, 95% CI 1.3–37.3) or trisomy 8 (p=0.02; HR 14.8, 95% CI 1.7–130.8) (Fig. 2). LFS in patients with normal karyotype was similar to those with either complex karyotype without monosomies (p=0.31) or trisomy 8 (p=0.86) (Figure 2). Conclusions: Monosomal karyotype in PMF is distinctly associated with extremely poor overall and leukemia-free survivals that are significantly worse than those seen in PMF patients with other unfavorable karyotype including complex karyotype without monosomies and sole trisomy 8 abnormalities. Disclosures: No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.

ABSTRACTTrichotillomania is a relatively understudied psychiatric disorder. Even less is known about this disorder in the elderly. We describe an unusual case of an elderly woman presenting for the first time with trichotillomania at age 70 and highlight the treatment complexities we encountered.
