Validation of a French questionnaire assessing knowledge of suicide
CONCLUSIONS: The KSS demonstrated good psychometric properties to measure adherence to myths about suicide. This tool could be useful in assessing the effectiveness of suicide prevention literacy improvement programs.PMID:38040504 | DOI:10.1016/j.encep.2023.08.016 (Source: L Encephale)

High average daily temperature in summer and the incidence of thrombolytic treatment for acute ischemic stroke
CONCLUSION: Our findings did not confirm an association between the average daily temperature in summer and the daily number of TT throughout the examined 10-year period. However, importantly, in 2014 and 2015, the years with the highest average daily temperatures in this period, a positive correlation was found. The level of correlation is modest, indicating that risk factors, both meteorological and non-meteorological, other than the average temperature, play equally important roles in determining the incidence of thrombolytic treatment for acute ischemic stroke on the population level.PMID:38040506 | DOI:10.1016/j.encep...

Cognitive functions of patients treated with chemotherapy: A comparative study
CONCLUSIONS: Our results suggest that, after controlling for anxiety and depression symptoms, patients treated with chemotherapy have significantly poorer outcomes on the DSST and TMT-B than treatment-naïve cancer patients and healthy controls. However, when taking confounding factors into account, the difference only persisted between patients undergoing chemotherapy and healthy controls. These findings are in favor of a multifactor cognitive impairment in patients with cancer partially related to chemotherapeutic treatment.PMID:38040507 | DOI:10.1016/j.encep.2023.10.001 (Source: L Encephale)

Organization of French outpatient psychiatric clinics and delay to appointment
CONCLUSIONS: The organizations of the outpatient psychiatric clinics of the French region Hauts-de-France seem homogeneous. The evaluation by a nurse followed with a care proposal is the common practice. Primary psychiatric structures are able to provide a response within a reasonable time, with half the centers proposing an appointment with a nurse within 10.0 days.PMID:38040509 | DOI:10.1016/j.encep.2023.09.005 (Source: L Encephale)

Funding of psychiatry in France, the problem of expensive drugs. Example of Esketamine in the case of resistant depressive episodes
Encephale. 2023 Nov 30:S0013-7006(23)00204-X. doi: 10.1016/j.encep.2023.09.007. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIn France, the funding of mental health institutions relies on an annual budget allocation. Esketamine, a non-competitive NMDA glutamate receptor antagonist, has been approved for adults with treatment-resistant major depressive disorder since 2019. However, due to its high cost (€200 per 28 mg device, excluding tax), the aim of this work was to evaluate whether the income received by an institution for the management of a patient treated with Esketamine could cover the purchase of devices, based on real clinical...

Etomidate versus propofol for electroconvulsive therapy: An intraindividual comparative study during the COVID-19 pandemic
CONCLUSION: By using each patient as its own control, our study found that etomidate, while compared to propofol, was related to a lower level of stimulatory intensity and a longer electroencephalographic seizure duration.PMID:38040511 | DOI:10.1016/j.encep.2023.09.002 (Source: L Encephale)
