Tardive dyskinesia in the mentally retarded: comparison of prevalence, risk factors and topography with a schizophrenic population.

Thirty mentally retarded patients treated with neuroleptics for aberrant behavior were compared with 30 neuroleptic-treated schizophrenics for the presence, topography and risk factors associated with tardive dyskinesia (TD). In the total sample (n = 60), female sex, schizophrenic diagnosis and increasing age were associated with TD. The length of neuroleptic treatment and current neuroleptic dose were not significantly associated with TD. The only topographical difference in TD presentation was that the mentally retarded group had significantly more tongue involvement.

Weight gain associated with clozapine.

Six of seven patients treated with clozapine gained 6-69 lb. Because of clozapine's anticipated availability in the United States, clinicians should be aware of this possible side effect, which, to the authors' knowledge, has not been reported previously.

The pharmacotherapy-psychotherapy triangle: psychiatrist, nonmedical psychotherapist, and patient.

Members of the Washington State Psychiatric Association (N = 387) were sent a questionnaire asking about their experience with providing adjunctive medicinal treatment to patients in psychotherapy with someone else. Of the 202 respondents, 63% acknowledged such "therapeutic triangles." Younger psychiatrists, psychiatrists working in clinic and/or public settings, and non-psychoanalytic psychiatrists were more likely to participate in such arrangements. It is estimated that between 7200 and 21,000 U.S. psychiatrists participate in such arrangements, with 72,000-210,000 patients seen each month. More extensive study of all aspects of this phenomenon is urged.

Diagnostic significance of persistent colonic gallium activity: scintigraphic patterns.

One hundred and forty-eight gallium scans were reviewed to determine the diagnostic significance of colonic gallium activity and its relationship to colonic disease. Location or intensity of the activity was unchanged during the course of the radionuclide study in 25 patients imaged more than once. Of those patients who had colonic gallium activity that did not change in location or intensity during the study, 9 had proved colonic disease. The patterns of colonic activity were either focal or diffuse. These distinct patterns, however, cannot distinguish benign from malignant disease.

Hyperactivity: diagnostic confusion.

Histories of hyperactive symptoms were evaluated for two samples of young men and women under treatment for drug or psychiatric disorders. More than one in five had shown hyperactivity but almost all of these developed pictures of other psychiatric problems, frequently the antisocial personality, by late adolescence. This picture is felt to reflect inaccurate use of hyperactive labels in difficult-to-handle children. The potential consequences of these practices are discussed.
