Combined infant regulatory problems and early maternal psychiatric illness predict risk of functional somatic symptoms in later childhood
Commentary on Rask CU, Ørnbøl E, Olsen EM, et al.. Infant behaviors are predictive of functional somatic symptoms at ages 5–7 years: results from the Copenhagen Child Cohort CCC2000. J Pediatr 2013;162:335–42. Implications for practice and research Counselling mothers to help settle babies with high levels of feeding/sleeping/tactile reactivity may help prevent the development of functional somatic symptoms (FSS) in children. Further research is required to identify additional risk factors for FSS and the evaluation of preventative interventions. Context FSS in children are physical symptoms...

Presence during cardiopulmonary resuscitation is beneficial to family members in the out-of-hospital setting
Commentary on: Jabre P, Belpomme V, Azoulay E, et al.. Family presence during cardiopulmonary resuscitation. N Engl J Med 2013;368:1008–18. Context Inviting family members to be present during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is increasingly common; however, it is still a controversial practice and has not been widely adopted in the USA. While a number of studies suggest that family members are amenable to this practice, robust, scientifically rigorous evidence demonstrating the psychological impact of witnessing a family member's resuscitation is lacking. Methods A total of 570 first-degree, adult family members ...

Peripartum antidepressant use is associated with an increased risk of postpartum haemorrhage
Commentary on: Palmsten K, Hernández-Díaz S, Huybrechts KF, et al.. Use of antidepressants near delivery and risk of postpartum hemorrhage: cohort study of low income women in the United States. BMJ 2013;347:f4877. Context Increased incidence of postpartum haemorrhage (PPH) is reported in a number of high-resource settings since the 1990s. The increase appears unrelated to factors such as rising rates of caesarean sections or increasing maternal age.1 Recent studies have investigated the association between antidepressant use at different stages of pregnancy and PPH, with two studies demonstrating a 1.20-fol...

Higher Coated-Platelets in Patients with Mild Traumatic Brain Injury Correlate with Lower Cognitive Screening Performance (P3.049)
CONCLUSIONS: Higher coated-platelet levels correlate with lower cognitive screening scores as measured by the MoCA test in mTBI patients. Additional studies aimed at determining the long-term impact of these findings in veterans with TBI is warranted.Study Supported by: Clinical Science Research & Development Service of the VA Office of Research and Development (Award number1I01CX000340).Disclosure: Dr. Prodan has received research support from the Veterans Affairs Office. Dr. Vincent has nothing to disclose. Dr. Dale has nothing to disclose.

The efficacy of self-management programmes for increasing physical activity in community-dwelling adults with acquired brain injury (ABI): a systematic review - Jones TM, Hush JM, Dear BF, Titov N, Dean CM.
BACKGROUND: Acquired brain injury (ABI), often arising from stroke or trauma, is a common cause of long-term disability, physical inactivity and poor health outcomes globally. Individuals with ABI face many barriers to increasing physical activity, such as...

Mild traumatic brain injury and epilepsy: alcohol misuse may underpin the association
Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) is associated with various neurological and cognitive problems, but causality is often less clear. For example, postconcussion syndrome (PCS) was widely assumed to be a consequence of neural damage until it was demonstrated that: (1) the symptoms of PCS are not specific to brain injury, being common in the general population,1 (2) ‘PCS’ is as common in those who experience physical trauma without brain injury as those who experience mTBI,2 (3) preinjury factors, such as a history of anxiety or affective disorder, predict development of PCS,2 (4) PCS has a strong relationship w...

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) Clinical Applications: Therapeutics
The number and type of neuropsychiatric conditions being treated by transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is ever increasing. In addition, the parameters utilized to treat these conditions are ever evolving. In this chapter, we explore the evidence concerning the efficacy of TMS to treat a number of psychiatric and physiological conditions: including depression, obsessive compulsive disorder, schizophrenia, post traumatic stress disorder, chronic pain, tinnitus, stroke, and Parkinson’s disease. In addition, we outline the most commonly utilized protocols and parameters to treat each of the above conditions.

Psychiatric and neurologic risk factors for incident cases of new‐onset epilepsy in older adults: Data from U.S. Medicare beneficiaries
Summary
ObjectiveNeurologic diseases such as stroke are risk factors for new‐onset epilepsy in older adults. Recent evidence suggests that psychiatric disorders independently predict epilepsy in older male veterans. Our aim was to examine the relationship between these disorders in a population‐based study of older adults that also included women and minorities.
MethodsWe used a national 5% random sample of 2005 Medicare beneficiaries including all 50 US states and Washington, DC. Beneficiaries were 65 years of age or older, with continuous Medicare Part A and Part B coverage and not in managed care plans. Epilepsy ca...

Late pregnancy use of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors and serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors is associated with increased risk of postpartum haemorrhage
Commentary on: Palmsten K, Hernández-Díaz S, Huybrechts KF, et al.. Use of antidepressants near delivery and risk of postpartum hemorrhage: cohort study of low income women in the USA. BMJ 2013;347:f4877. Implications for research and practice Use of antidepressant medication is associated with increased risk for postpartum haemorrhage (PPH). Further research is needed to establish a causal role between antidepressant medication use and PPH. Clinicians should be aware of possible increased risk of postpartum haemorrhage when treating depression during pregnancy. Context Antidepressant medications are commonly...

Joint hypermobility and autonomic hyperactivity: relevance to neurodevelopmental disorders
Conclusion
We demonstrate for the first time that rates of hypermobility and symptoms of autonomic dysfunction are particularly high in adults with neurodevelopmental diagnoses. It is likely that the importance of hypermobility and autonomic dysfunction to the generation and maintenance of psychopathology in neurodevelopmental disorders is poorly appreciated. Work underway(autonomic testing, fMRI) will test the hypothesis that autonomic reactivity and interoceptive sensitivity predispose to the expression of psychiatric symptoms, particularly anxiety. It is further hypothesized that inefficient neural co-ordination of effe...

Trial suggests yoga and exercise lead to modest improvements in menopause-related quality of life: longer term studies are needed
Commentary on: Reed SD, Guthrie KA, Newton KM, et al.. Menopausal quality of life: RCT of yoga, exercise, and omega-3 supplements. Am J Obstet Gynecol 2014;210:244.e1–11. Context Since publication of the Women's Health Initiative Study, the potential benefits of non-pharmacological therapies for menopause-related symptoms have gained increased interest among midlife women, clinicians and researchers.1 Interventions requiring behavioural change have yielded mixed outcomes, owing to small sample sizes, a variety of outcome measures, lack of control groups and limited follow-up.2–4 Methods To assess the effects of...
