Relactation.

Abstract

Relactation may be useful in the developing world either if the child has been ill and unable to feed for a time or the mother is ill or has died. Relactation appears to be easier with a younger infant and in women who have lactated previously. However, with appropriate care, support and motivation even some women who have never been pregnant or who have been pregnant but never lactated may be able to start lactation.

Genetic influences in antisocial personality and drug use disorders.

While an association between antisocial personality disorder (APD) and substance use disorder (SUD) has been frequently observed, the causes of the comorbidity remain unclear. Adoption and twin studies have found evidence of both genetic and environmental influences in APD and SUD. Therefore, comorbidity between APD and SUD may be the result of shared genetic influences, shared environmental influences, or a combination of the two. However, only a limited number of adoption and twin studies have addressed this issue and the results have not been conclusive. In future studies, a distinction should be made between alcohol and drug abuse and between juvenile and adult APD symptoms. Twin samples of adequate size would allow use of structural equation analytical methods for estimation of the relative magnitude of genetic and environmental influences shared between the two conditions, as well as influences contributing to each specifically. Results would be highly relevant for the clinical setting as well as for efforts to identify the genes involved in either trait.

Recent advances in genetic research on schizophrenia.

Evidence for genetic factors in schizophrenia is reviewed with regard to family, twin and adoption studies, and recent advances in molecular genetic technology are applied to explore possible gene loci susceptible to schizophrenia. Application of neuropsychological and neuroimaging methodologies are also reviewed with an aim to develop criteria for defining phenotypes for genetic studies.
