{"title":"Recommendations for pharmacological management of inpatient aggression in children and adolescents.","authors":"Parikshit Deshmukh,&nbsp;Guarav Kulkarni,&nbsp;Drew Barzman","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"<p><p>Objective. While there has been a great deal of speculation by clinical researchers over the last three decades on effective and safe methods for the pharmacological management of aggression in children and adolescents, it is only in the last decade that there have been well-designed studies available to address this issue. Medication is commonly used to control aggression in children and adolescents in inpatient units. Also, there exists a need for evidence-based guidelines for the use of these different pharmacological agents for managing pediatric aggression on inpatient units. The aims of this article are to provide a systemic review and to provide treatment guidelines based on these limited but currently available studies.Methods. The articles reviewed in this study were obtained through a PubMed search using the key words 'children,' 'adolescents,' 'aggression,' 'inpatient,' 'ziprasidone,' 'lithium,' and 'risperidone.' A total of 499 studies were generated. Only studies focusing on pharmacological management of inpatient pediatric aggression with mean duration less than six weeks and published during January 1980 to August 2009 were included. Only English articles were considered. A total of 13 studies met these criteria, which were included in the review without any further statistical analysis. Recommendations are made on this available evidenced-based literature.Results. There is some evidence for the standing use of oral lithium, haloperidol, olanzapine, and risperidone for aggression related to specific psychiatric diagnoses. Intramuscular ziprasidone and olanzapine administered as needed were found to be effective for the rapid management of moderate to severe aggression. Oral or intramuscular diphenhydramine administered as needed was found to be useful for managing mild aggression due to a placebo effect.Conclusions. Studies are available on managing aggression in children and adolescents in inpatient treatment settings but are limited. Further studies on the use of various psychotropic medications are needed in order to develop comprehensive guidelines for the safe and effective pharmacological management of child and adolescent inpatient aggression.</p>","PeriodicalId":20822,"journal":{"name":"Psychiatry (Edgmont (Pa. : Township))","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2848469/pdf/PE_7_2_32.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"28908434","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Hoarding: obsessive symptom or syndrome?","authors":"Randy A Sansone,&nbsp;Lori A Sansone","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"<p><p>Through media depictions, the public is becoming increasingly aware of the phenomenon of hoarding. Hoarding refers to the excessive acquisition of relatively worthless items, which eventually results in the compromise of living space and/or the daily activities of affected individuals. As a symptom, hoarding is relatively common in a significant minority of individuals with obsessive-compulsive disorder. In the context of obsessive-compulsive disorder, symptoms typically emerge in the teens through the early 20s. However, hoarding also appears to exist as a distinct syndrome, which is characterized by late onset, childhood adversity, various Axis II traits, and a history of alcohol misuse. While the explicit position of hoarding in the psychiatric nomenclature remains undetermined, this behavior is likely to surface in both psychiatric and primary care settings.</p>","PeriodicalId":20822,"journal":{"name":"Psychiatry (Edgmont (Pa. : Township))","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2848465/pdf/PE_7_2_24.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"28908432","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A number of other features of the illness, such as depression and negative symptoms, contribute to the overall prediction of these outcomes. Impairment in social cognition is of particular interest as a mediating influence between cognition and social outcomes. Social cognition is a set of cognitive processes applied to the recognition, understanding, accurate processing, and effective use of social cues in real-world situations. In schizophrenia research, social cognition comprises the following domains: emotion perception, theory of mind (ToM), and attributional style. While substantial research has indicated that these abilities are clearly related to social outcomes, research has been slowed by problems in the measurement of these abilities. In this article, I will describe these abilities, discuss how they are currently measured, and how research could improve the current measurement of these abilities to make them more clinically useful.</p>","PeriodicalId":20822,"journal":{"name":"Psychiatry (Edgmont (Pa. : Township))","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2848464/pdf/PE_7_2_41.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"28908435","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This open-label study examined the safety and efficacy of ziprasidone intramuscular with geriatric patients experiencing psychosis or agitation.Design. During an inpatient stay, consenting subjects who became acutely psychotic or agitated received ziprasidone intramuscular 10mg q 6 to 8 hours, up to a maximum dose of 20mg/24 hours. A within-group repeated measures design was employed to study whether the use of ziprasidone over the 24-hour observation period contributed to decreased agitation or to extrapyramidal side effects. The data were analyzed using an Analysis of Variance with trend analysis.Setting. The study was conducted on the geriatric psychiatry inpatient unit at the University of Toledo Medical Center, Toledo, Ohio.Participants. Fourteen patients, six men and eight women with mean age 77+/-8 years, participated in this study. Each patient had a diagnosis of dementia, co-occurring with one of the following: delirium, major depressive disorder with psychotic features, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or schizoaffective disorder.Measurements. The Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale, Delirium Rating Scale, and the Behavioral Activity Rating Scale were obtained at baseline and at 0.5, 2, and 24 hours after the first dose of ziprasidone intramuscular.Results. Overall, physiologic measures that would indicate undesirable side effects, including QTc intervals, remained unchanged pre- and post-study. However, there were significant improvements in scores on a variety of measures assessing agitation or psychosis.Conclusion. This study suggests that ziprasidone intramuscular may be a safe and effective short-term treatment for agitated or psychotic geriatric patients, and, therefore, additional studies should be conducted to confirm these findings.</p>","PeriodicalId":20822,"journal":{"name":"Psychiatry (Edgmont (Pa. : Township))","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2848463/pdf/PE_7_1_17.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"28917116","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
