Evaluation of the Brief Psychopathological Rating Scale in relation to aggressive behavior by acute involuntarily admitted patients.

Aggressive behavior during acute involuntary admission was related to ratings on the Brief Psychopathological Rating Scale, age, sex and global assessment in 38 patients. The best prediction model of aggressive behavior was achieved when predicting more serious incidents occurring during the first 8 days of admission. In this prediction model, high scores of hostility and anxiety, together with low scores of grandiosity significantly and accurately predicted more serious violent behavior.

The prevalence of antibodies against viruses causing Kumlinge (tick-borne encephalitis) and Pogosta disease in the population of Iniö, a small island community in southwest Finland was measured. Antibodies against Kumlinge disease were found in 28% of the population, and increased from 10% in the 0-19 year age group to 42% in the 60-79 year age group.
