Abstract • During a three-year period 28 fatalities, twice the rate in the general population, were found in a sample of 2,070 psychiatric outpatients. Death occurred in these psychiatric patients approximately 20 years earlier than is expected. All three modalities of death: accidents, suicide, and natural causes, were higher than that in the population at large. Three suicides were thought to be preventable by psychiatric approaches. The importance of the patient's initial visits was stressed. At least four, and possibly five, cases of death were avoidable by appropriate medicosurgical means. The rate of physical illnesses in all three groups was more than 80%, of which one third were inadequately diagnosed by their referring physicians. The importance of the physical evaluation of psychiatric patients was emphasized. References 1. Malzberg B: Mortality Among Patients With Mental Disease .

Abstract • A survey was conducted in Rochester, NY, of the attitudes and practices of psychiatrists (both in private practice and fulltime academic settings), psychiatric residents, internists, and fourth-year medical students concerning physical examinations of psychiatric patients. Thirteen percent of the psychiatrists frequently perform an initial physical examination on their inpatients and 8% frequently do an initial physical examination on their outpatients. These percentages are much larger for the resident groups. A very high percentage of all respondents report that they feel a physical examination of psychiatric patients is important especially when the patient is receiving medication. The largest number of psychiatrists report that they omit the physical examination because the patient has been referred to them after a physical examination by another physician or they refer the patient for such an examination. A notable percentage of psychiatrists in this sample report that they do not feel competent performing a physical examination. References 1. Grinker RR: The sciences of psychiatry.

Patterns of Death Among Suicide Attempters, a Psychiatric Population, and a General PopulationTefft, Bruce M.;Pederson, Andreas M.;Babigian, Haroutun M.

Abstract • This epidemeological study examines patterns of mortality for a population of suicide attempters, a psychiatric population without suicide attempts, and a general population without psychiatric histories in order to clarify earlier reports of differential risks of death associated with these groups. Mortality patterns were investigated over an 11-year period in terms of demographic characteristics and rates of death by various causes. Suicidal deaths were given special attention to identify variables that may have predictive validity for suicide. The results indicate that the suicide attempter group represents a distinctive demographic and mortality entity from either the psychiatric or general populations, and accounts for much of the increased risk of death previously attributed to the psychiatric population. Further, premature deaths due to suicide are strongly associated with the suicide attempter group. The psychiatric and general populations differ in relatively insignificant ways. These results suggest that a profitable approach to the prevention of suicide would be to focus on individuals who were at high risk within the suicide attempter population. Longerterm follow-up of these individuals is necessary if deaths due to suicide are to be prevented. Difficulties associated with implementation of preventive follow-up programs are also discussed.

Increase in Suicide Attempts by Drug Ingestion: The Boston Experience, 1964-1974O'Brien, J. Patrick

Abstract • At the Massachusetts General Hospital between 1964 and 1972, there was an estimated 118% increase in emergency ward admissions for drug overdose suicide attempts and an estimated 257% increase in such attempts by individuals in the 20- to 29-year age range. Approximately 67% of overdoses seen in 1972 and 1974 occurred in individuals under age 30. An increase in drug overdose suicide attempts by males was noted. By 1972, males were making approximately as many attempts as females. Based on extrapolations from the Massachusetts General Hospital drug overdose data, and not including an estimate of non-hospital-treated suicide attempts, an estimated annual (1972) suicide attempt rate of 337/100,000 (0.38%) was obtained for Boston. The estimated suicide attempt-completed suicide ratio for the Boston area was 39:1. These estimates should be interpreted as giving an approximate order of magnitude and not as specifying precise rates. References 1. Weissman MM: The epidemiology of suicide attempts, 1960 to 1971 .

Abstract • Two hundred forty-nine psychiatric inpatients were compared with 249 matched controls and with a psychiatric hospital survey group of 95 patients for incidence of recent bereavement. There were no significant differences between the groups for loss of a first-degree relative in six months and one year prior to admission. There was a preponderance of affective disorder among the psychiatric patients with recent loss. Severe subjective grief reactions were found in the four patients who had lost a spouse or a child and in some patients who had lost a parent, while loss of a sibling usually evoked a mild reaction. Patients with alcoholism tended to increase their drinking during the bereavement period, resulting in incapacitation and hospitalization or, in the case of a control patient, in severe trauma.

Abstract • In a double-blind study, intravenous injection of naloxone, at a dose sufficient to saturate the opiate (endorphin) receptors, had no effect on sexual arousal, penile erection, ejaculation, or orgasm in a human subject. Apparently, endorphins are not involved in these phenomena. References 1.

Abstract • The induction side effects of cyclazocine and naltrexone were compared in double-blind placebo-controlled studies involving 40 patients (20 for each drug). These studies were carried out with a twice-a-day dosage regimen. Naltrexone produced fewer side effects than cyclazocine. Naltrexone side effects fell to levels indistinguishable from those of placebo in the "induction after placebo" phase. In contrast, cyclazocine "induction after placebo" produced an even higher level of side effects than found in its induction. In no case was naltrexone discontinued because of side effects. On the other hand, three of 20 cyclazocine-treated patients discontinued the drug because of distressing side effects. No toxicity was noted with either agent. The controlled data reported supports the clinical impression that naltrexone produces fewer induction side effects than cyclazocine. References 1.

Abstract • This article reviews the function of prostaglandins (PGs) in the nervous system and discusses the possible alterations in PG metabolism as relating to mental illness. The PGs are a unique group of cyclic fatty acids whose immediate precursors are thought to function postsynaptically by inhibition or facilitation of neurotransmission through cyclase inhibition or activation, and by means of a negative feedback loop to inhibit further release of neurotransmitter from the presynaptic nerve. A review of PGs in psychiatric conditions is presented as well as a discussion of the interaction of psychoactive drugs with the PGs. The concluding section of this review discusses possible future strategies to provide insight into PG physiology as it relates to synaptic transmission in normal and pathological conditions in man.

Abstract • A study of the tuberoinfundibular dopamine tract was undertaken in chronic schizophrenic patients with and without tardive dyskinesia. Biochemical evidence of the purported dopamine receptor supersensitivity in tardive dyskinesia was sought by demonstrating a hyperresponse of growth hormone and prolactin to dopamine agonists. Contrary to this prediction, no endocrine supersensitivity occurred in the tardive dyskinesia patients. Rather, a significantly decreased response to dopaminergic stimualtion was demonstrated in the total chronic schizophrenic group. References 1.

The Assessment of Tardive DyskinesiaGardos, George;Cole, Jonathan O.;Brie, Richard La

Abstract • Available assessment methods for tardive dyskinesia were reviewed under three headings: instrumentation, frequency counts, and rating scales. The more objective methods have better reliability but less certain validity, while for the clinical assessment techniques the converse tends to be true. The optimal assessment method for a given study depends on the research question asked. For most studies, the combination of one of the objective techniques with a rating method may be ideal. Research on prevalence and etiological factors would benefit from one of the multi-item rating scales, while in treatment studies a global scale may be necessary. Videotapes are invaluable for educational purposes and for training raters. References 1. Hall RA, Jackson RB, Swain JM: Neurotoxic reactions resulting from chlorpromazine administration .
