Adaptive Reactions

The aim of this study was to establish types of psychological reactions and conditions in patients with lower-extremity amputations. Apart from using psychological interviews, detection was performed using psychometric tests: Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory and Beck Depression Inventory. Psychometric parameters were analyzed in a group of 20 examinees treated at the Medical Rehabilitation Clinic in Novi Sad. Out of the whole sample. 45% of patients presented with adaptive reactions to amputation and consequent disability, whereas 55% presented with maladaptive responses. The registered psychopathological symptoms included nosologic categories: reaction to stressful events and adjustment disorder (predominantly affecting other emotions: mixed disorder of conduct and emotions: prolonged depressive reaction) and dysthymia. When working with lower-extremity amputees, apart from adaptive, nonpathological forms of behavior, one also encounters maladaptive responses with predomination of mood disorders due to severe somatic stress. .

Rehabilitation Clinic

At the end of the Second World War, the General State Hospital had seven departments, the same facilities, and the same bed capacity as in the pre-war period. In the newly formed state of Yugoslavia, intensive growth and modernization of the hospital began, despite the great financial difficulties. The hospital became the Main Provincial Hospital and new departments and services were established. Mainly during the 1960s and 1970s, ten new surgery departments were established, which later became independent clinics. The surgery departments occupied pavilions 1, 2, 3 and 4. Complex and contemporary abdominal and thoracic surgeries were performed. The Department of Internal Diseases became the Clinic of Internal Diseases and in 1964 it was moved to a newly equipped four-story building. The Clinic of Gynecology and Obstetrics was founded and it was moved into a modern, purpose-built facility with a 230 bed capacity for adult patients and 105 for newborns. Rapid progress has also been made in the development of the Clinic of Infectious Diseases, Clinic of Eye Diseases, Clinic of Ear, Nose and Throat Diseases, Neurology and Psychiatry Clinics, Clinic of Dermatovenereology Diseases, Medical Rehabilitation Clinic - as well as a modern laboratory, X-ray, blood transfusion, and polyclinic services. After the establishment of the Faculty of Medicine and the Clinical Center of Vojvodina, this large tertiary medical institution is the source of pride for Novi Sad. Founded 110 years ago, the hospital is still dedicated to providing better healthcare for patients.

Background To assess the prevalence of elevated risk of serious mental illness and probable ICD-11 adjustment disorder in the UK population at two time points during COVID-19, and their association with COVID-19-related stressful events. Aims To check the dose–response model for stress between the number of COVID-19-related stressful events and mental health indices. Method We conducted two cross-sectional studies, using internet survey samples across the UK (N = 1293 for study 1; N = 1073 for study 2). Samples used internet panel surveys during March–April 2020 and 3 months later (June 2020), and used random stratified samples. Studies assessed prevalence of serious risk of mental illness and probable ICD-11 adjustment disorder. Results Elevated risk of serious mental illness was found among those with COVID-19-related social life or occupationally stressful events (study 1). Elevated risk of serious mental illness and probable ICD-11 adjustment disorder was evident among those reporting COVID-19-related stressful events (personal health problems and caregiving; study 2). Cumulative COVID-19-related stressful events were associated with elevated risk of serious mental illness in study 1 (odds ratio 1.65; 95% CI 1.03–2.64; P = 0.037), and with both elevated risk of serious mental illness (odds ratio 2.19; 95% CI 1.15–4.15; P = 0.017) and probable ICD-11 adjustment disorder (odds ratio 2.45; 95% CI 1.27–4.72; P = 0.007) in study 2. Conclusions Psychiatrists should be aware that COVID-19-related stressful events can lead to serious psychological problems. Mental health professionals need to pay particular attention to patients who report cumulative COVID-19-related stressful events, and consider them for mental health assessment and treatment.

SUMMARY The differentiation of pathological stress responses from responses that are appropriate and adaptive is a challenge with little to guide the clinician. This refreshment considers adjustment disorder and possible approaches to distinguishing those who have the disorder from those who are responding ‘normally’ to stressful events.

Study Participants

ObjectivesIn this study, we aimed to elucidate the demographic and psychological characteristics of maladaptive soldiers in the Republic of Korea Army.MethodsStudy participants were 110 male conscripts who participated in the Green camp, a kind of group psychotherapy for maladaptive soldiers. All the participants were interviewed and diagnosed by a psychiatrist, and classified into two groups according to whether they left or rejoin the army. We analyzed the difference between these two groups in terms of demographic features, psychiatric diagnosis, and the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) subscores.ResultsCompared with soldiers who rejoined their units, those who left military service exhibited significantly lower educational level (p = 0.041) and higher rate in psychiatric treatment prior to enlistment (p = 0.011). Among the 106 study subjects, 63 (59.4%) and 23(21.7%) were diagnosed as personality disorder and adjustment disorder, respectively. Soldiers who left military service were diagnosed more frequently as mood disorder (p = 0.001) and schizophrenia (p = 0.014), respectively, than those who rejoined their units. The MMPI scores of soldiers who left military service were significantly higher on the psychasthenia (p = 0.028) and schizophrenia (p = 0.039) scales than those of soldiers who rejoined their units.ConclusionMost of the maladaptive soldiers were diagnosed as mental disorder. The results of this study suggest that systematic, consistent psychiatric evaluation and intervention for maladaptive male conscripts is crucial in the army.

Common Variable

A 63-year-old woman with common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) presented with 1 year of insidious onset lower extremity pain and weakness. She underwent a circuitous workup, failed to improve despite treatment for various presumed diagnoses. She presented to a University physical medicine and rehabilitation clinic with continued symptoms. Electrophysiologic testing was recommended revealing a lower extremity motor greater than sensory axonal neuropathy. While CVID has known central nervous system complications, to our knowledge, this represents the second known reported case of peripheral neuropathy. We review the literature on CVID and summarize neurological disease mechanisms and manifestations. Although peripheral neuropathy is a rarely documented complication of CVID, providers need to be aware of potential peripheral nervous system complications of primary immune deficiencies such as CVID due to its significant impact on physical performance, balance, and fall risks.

First Time

Twelve patients (6 men and 6 women), ages 21–79 years, who, as far as it could be determined from their case histories, began to stutter for the first time in adulthood were classified by examining physicians and speech-language pathologists as having psychogenic stuttering. The case histories of these patients were examined to determine the details of their speech and allied complaints, the course and duration of stuttering, and if any psychologically stressful events surrounded the onset and development of the disorder. Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) data on 10 of the 12 patients were analyzed independently. The main findings were (a) stuttering was the chief complaint of 11 patients; (b) all 12 patients had additional neurologic-like complaints that turned out to be nonorganic; (c) duration of stuttering from onset to examination ranged from 4 hr to 1.5 years; (d) the stuttering of most patients was variable in severity and returned to normal either spontaneously or as a result of speech therapy or psychotherapy; (e) psychologic stress was associated with the onset in 10 patients: the stress was chronic in 4 patients and acute in 6; (t) MMPI profiles of 9 of 1O patients were abnormal, with four profiles reflective of a conversion reaction; (g) differentiating neurologic from psychogenic stuttering and the need for interdisciplinary collaboration were essential in all 12 cases; and (h) speech therapy and psychotherapy are justified when psychogenic stuttering is diagnosed.
