Taurine had been clinically tested in a number of diseases with variable results. In the context of neuropsychiatry, taurine was found to be altered in some neurological and psychiatric disorders and its levels affected by mood stabilizers and by antidepressants as well as anti-Alzheimer drugs. Taurine is also a common component in energy drinks and it is claimed (without scientific support) to have stimulant properties. The present study was designed to test taurine's effects in animal models of affective and anxiety disorders and to evaluate its properties as a stimulant.Method: Mice were treated with two doses of taurine with sub-chronic or chronic administration (for different experiments) and tested in the open field, the black/white box and the forced swim test. Taurine's possible stimulant effects were also tested in conjunction with amphetamine administration.Results: For the doses and schedules tested, taurine did not have an effect on measures of anxiety- or depression-like behaviors and did not act as a stimulant, neither alone nor in conjunction with amphetamine. In contrast, high dose taurine administration resulted in a transient decrease in activity.Conclusion: We suggest that any effects of taurine on affective-like behavioral measures may be very subtle (if any) and that prudence is recommended in claims regarding taurine activity as a stimulant.","PeriodicalId":520802,"journal":{"name":"The Israel journal of psychiatry and related sciences","volume":" ","pages":"11-8"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2008-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"40520056","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Sexual dysfunction (SD) is common in these patients and aggravates their distress, affecting overall sexual activity, desire, arousal, orgasm, activity and satisfaction. PTSD clinic patients are frequently referred for consultation and treatment in the SD clinic. This prospective naturalistic follow-up study of a random group of patients was intended to evaluate response to pharmacologic and psychotherapeutic interventions for SD, in terms of both sexual functioning and overall symptomatology.Methods: Ten patients fulfilling DSM-IV diagnostic criteria for PTSD (one woman and nine men) were recruited. Treatment for the sexual symptoms was tailored individually and was administered in addition to the continuing (stable) treatment in the PTSD clinic.Results: After two months of treatment for the sexual symptoms, statistically significant improvements in all domains of sexual functioning were observed. In parallel, statistically significant improvements in all domains of the Impact of Events Scale scores were observed, both on the avoidance and intrusive subscales. There were no significant differences in response to treatment in terms of time elapsed since the onset of PTSD, or the pattern or severity of sexual and PTSD symptoms.Conclusions: The results of this modest study demonstrate the importance of relating to the SD of PTSD patients irrespective of the duration or severity of their disorder. In this mixed group of PTSD patients with varied duration of symptoms, both SD and PTSD core symptoms improved significantly in response to individually tailored adjunctive treatment of the SD.","PeriodicalId":520802,"journal":{"name":"The Israel journal of psychiatry and related sciences","volume":" ","pages":"26-32"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2008-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"40520058","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The present study examined this relationship and investigated whether this commonality is associated with innate hypnotic capacity.Methods: Fifty patients diagnosed with DD and 50 control subjects with major depression were assessed by using a self-mutilation questionnaire, Dissociative Experiences Scale, Traumatic Experiences Checklist, and the Eye-Roll Sign for their self-mutilating behaviors, dissociative symptoms, early trauma, and innate hypnotic capacity, respectively.Results: We have found that 82% of the present sample of patients with DD injured themselves. They had higher scores on trauma, dissociation and eye-roll measurements than controls. In addition, DD patients with self-mutilation were more likely to have high scores of trauma, dissociation and eye-roll than those without self-mutilation. Innate hypnotic capacity was a strong predictor of self-mutilating behavior in DD patients.Conclusions: This study strongly supports the assumption that patients with DD are at high risk for self-mutilating behavior and points to the necessity of routine screening for self-mutilating behavior as well as the hypnotic capacity which may constitute a high risk for self-injury in this patient group.","PeriodicalId":520802,"journal":{"name":"The Israel journal of psychiatry and related sciences","volume":" ","pages":"39-48"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2008-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"40520059","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Psychiatric comorbidity in patients with chest pain without a cardiac etiology.","authors":"Cicek Hocaoglu, Medine Yazici Gulec, Ismet Durmus","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"Objective: Throughout the world and among different cultural groups, physical symptoms are the most common expressions of social problems and distress; chest pain is one of the most widely seen, medically unexplained physical symptoms. Most of the time, chest pain cases in which an organic etiology cannot be determined over time and in those presenting with atypical features should be evaluated as a component or an accompanying symptom of various specific psychiatric disorders, primarily such as panic disorder and depression. The aim of this study was to determine the psychiatric comorbidity rate in patients with chest pain without a cardiac etiology.Method: Seventy patients admitted to the cardiology clinic with a complaint of chest pain but without any detectable cardiac etiology were included in the study. All patients were evaluated using a Sociodemographic Data Collection Form and Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV.Results: Panic disorder was diagnosed in 47.1% of the non-cardiac chest pain group, depressive disorders in 21.4%, generalized anxiety disorder in 5.7%, anxiety disorders not otherwise specified in 5.7%, obsessive compulsive disorder in 5.7%, and undifferentiated somatoform disorder in 2.9%. Two psychiatric diagnoses were established in 12.9% of the patients and no psychiatric diagnosis in 24.3%.Conclusion: Psychiatric disorder rates are quite high in patients with chest pain that cannot be explained cardiologically. These results show the importance of psychiatric evaluations in patients with non-cardiac chest pain or unexplained chest pain (UCP). In addition, understanding the psychiatric symptom profile of these patients will make an important contribution to the treatment of non-cardiac chest pain.","PeriodicalId":520802,"journal":{"name":"The Israel journal of psychiatry and related sciences","volume":" ","pages":"49-54"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2008-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"40521723","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Also, the increased severity of depressive symptoms and higher levels of anxiety were predictive of low pregnancy rates.Conclusion: The pregnancy rate of infertile Turkish women was associated with emotional distress and low levels of social support were associated with increased emotional distress.
