CUTLASS trails
Cost Utility of the Latest Antipsychotic Drugs in Schizophrenia Study • It is an unblinded randomised controlled trial comparing first generation v. second generation antipsychotics • The primary outcome was the quality of life at 1 year and symptom measures were the main secondary outcome. • 1, 227 people with schizophrenia included • The second generation drugs were amisulpride, olanzapine, quetiapine or risperidone. • The results showed no advantage of second generation drugs in terms of quality of life or symptom burden over 1 year with those on first generation antipsychotic doing relatively better. • Participants reported no clear preference for either class of drug. • The second phase CUtLASS 2 trial was of similar design and compared clozapine with other second generation drugs in 136 patients who had not responded well to two or more previous drugs. Results showed that there was a significant advantage for clozapine in symptom improvements over 1 year; moreover, patients significantly preferred it.

Talk abt benefit realisation plan Focus MFI Statistical Process Charts
Benefit Realisation Plan is a table used as a tool to ensure that the intended benefits originally planned in a QI project are actually delivered to the stakeholders in a tiemly fashion. The FOCUS approach to QI is shown in the figure below. FOCUS stands for Finding a process to improve, Organising a team, Clarifying current knowledge, Understanding causes of variation and Selecting the process improvement procedures. Model for improvement (MFI) is commonly employed now by many NHS organizations. MFI is an extension of PDSA and describes reflections that need to occur before embarking on a PDSA cycle. To measure outcomes over time, tools are available to generate time series graphs or frequency charts. Commonly used time series graphs include 'run charts' or Statistical Process Control charts (SPC). SPC enables the use of simple statistical concepts to understand processes that are being studied or implemented. In essence, SPC helps to assess the 'system' for predictability of outcome when a change is implemented; if unexpected variations are present, this provides an opportunity to study the external factors that may influence the desired outcome

Poisoning & psychiatric presentations 45-year-old man with history of bloody stools, diarrhoea and vomiting. He appears restless, anxious and is unable to concentrate. A 55-year-old man with loss of appetite and colicky pain. He also has cognitive impairment A 49-year-old man with headache, irritability, joint pains and somnolence. She has tremors, rigidity, mask like face and dysarthria A 63-year-old woman has vomiting and diarrhoea. She complains of hair loss and severe pain in the legs. She is paranoid and confused. A 55-year-old man has worked in a pesticide factory for more than 20 years. He has poor concentration, recent memory impairment and impairment of new learning
Mercury poisoning is featured by CNS symptoms of lethargy and restlessness. The primary symptoms are secondary to severe gastrointestinal irritation, with bloody stools, diarrhoea and vomiting leading to circulatory collapse. It causes depression and mild cognitive impairment with poor attention and concentration with severe anxiety and agitation (Mad hatter's disease). Lead poisoning in children causes an encephalopathy that may be associated with permanent intellectual impairment. Adults exhibit anorexia and colic with cognitive impairment and with chronic exposure can cause psychosis. Manganese poisoning produces symptoms such as headache, irritability, joint pains and somnolence (manganese madness). Lesions involving basal ganglia and pyramidal system result in gait impairment, rigidity, monotonous or whispering speech, tremor of extremities and tongue, masked facies, micrographia, dystonia, dysarthria and loss of equilibrium. Thallium poisoning causes severe pain in the legs as well as diarrhoea and vomiting. Within a week people may develop delirium, convulsions, cranial nerve palsies, blindness, choreiform movements and coma may occur. Alopecia is a common and important diagnostic clue. Behavioral changes include paranoid thinking and depression, with suicidal tendencies. Thallium poisoning almost always follows accidental or intentional ingestion of a rat poison 5) Arsenic poisoning most often occurs during industrial exposure, especially workers in production of pesticides, copper or lead smelting. Psychiatric symptoms include mild impairment of new learning, recent memory and concentration. This may manifest a few years after exposure. Recovery is possible on cessation of the exposure.

Farh’smdisease shows what in the mri?
Fahr's disease is due to an idiopathic (autosomal dominant) progressive calcium deposition in the basal ganglia. An onset between the ages of 20 and 40 is associated with schizophreniform psychoses and catatonic symptoms. An onset between the ages of 40 and 60 is associated with dementia and choreoathetosis. Depression is also very common, but mania is uncommon. 50% patients report psychiatric problems. Psychiatric symptoms correlate with more extensive calcification. The pattern of cognitive impairment found in FD is of the frontosubcortical type. The commonest neurological features of FD are parkinsonism, chorea, dystonia, tremor, gait disturbance, dysarthria, seizures and myoclonus. MRI shows hypointensity of striatum. EEG is non specific - may show diffuse changes. Fahr's disease is also called familial cerebral ferrocalcinosis.

The proportion of all episodes of self-harm that occur in people over the age of 65 Answer 1 Incorrect The subsequent risk of suicide 10 or more years after an episode of self harm. Answer 2 Incorrect The proportion of individuals who will harm themselves again in their lifetimes Answer 3 Incorrect Proportion of individuals who self harm that will repeat at least 5 times in a given year
Following an act of self-harm the rate of suicide increases to between 50 and 100 times the rate of suicide in the general population (Hawton et al., 2003b; Owens et al., 2002). In other words, the subsequent risk of suicide is at least 3% after 10 or more years. The risk of repetition of self harm is extremely high; up to 40% will go on to repeat. About one in six people who attend an emergency department following self-harm will self-harm again in the following year (Owens et al., 2002); a small minority of people will do so repeatedly - 10% will repeat at least 5 times in a given year. This high-repetition group is one reason for the overall high repetition rate observed (40% repetition in 10 years or more). Self-harm can occur at any age but is most common in adolescence and young adulthood (Meltzer et al., 2002a). For example, based on a survey of 12,529 children and young people aged 5 years to 15 years, 1.3% had tried to harm themselves (data collected from parents) (Meltzer, 2002a). In contrast, only about 5% of all episodes of self-harm occur in people over the age of 65 (Dennis et al., 1997; Draper, 1996; Owens et al., 1991). The correct answer is: The proportion of all episodes of self-harm that occur in people over the age of 65 – 5%, The subsequent risk of suicide 10 or more years after an episode of self harm. – 3%, The proportion of individuals who will harm themselves again in their lifetimes – 40%, Proportion of individuals who self harm that will repeat at least 5 times in a given year – 10%

Dementia & drug management This is the only drug currently licensed in the UK for behavioural and psychological symptoms of dementia This medication may increase the risk of bleeding and should be used with caution The use of this drug was associated with increased mortality in patients with mild cognitive impairment when compared with placebo This antidementia drug is prone to cause confusion and hallucinations in patients This hormone may have actions that have preventive effect and potentially reduces the risk of Alzheimer's disease
Risperidone is the only drug licensed in the UK for behavioural and psychological symptoms of dementia. It is indicated for the short-term treatment (up to 6 weeks) of persistent aggression in patients with moderate to severe Alzheimer's disease who are not responding to non-pharmacological measures and when there is a risk of harm to self or others. 2) Several reports have noted that the drug Gingko biloba may increase the risk of bleeding and should be used with caution. 3) The use of galantamine was associated with increased mortality in patients with mild cognitive impairment when compared with placebo. Although no specific cause was predominant, half the deaths reported were due to cardiovascular disorders. As a result, the FDA issued a warning restricting the use of galantamine in patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). 4) Memantine can cause confusion and hallucinations in patients although it is rare. The common side effects are headache, dizziness, constipation, somnolence and hypertension. 5) The hormone oestrogen may have actions that have a preventive effect and potentially reduces the risk of Alzheimer's disease.

Dilemma: When a person acts as though available action or possible roles were limited to polarized alternatives, this is referred to as a dilemma. Snag: when appropriate roles are abandoned because the person makes an assumption that others would oppose them or because they are perceived as forbidden or dangerous. Traps; repetitive cycles where consequences of the behaviour feedback into its perpetuation. Here negative assumptions generate acts that produce consequences that reinforce the assumptions.

Talk abt The systemic family therapy focus on wad The structural model (Minuchin) focus on wad
Focuses mainly on the present functioning of the family rather than its past experiences. Strategies include employing paradoxical injunctions, circular questioning. Focuses on a set of unspoken rules that organize ways in which family members relate to one another. Such a structure will have the hierarchy of power (parents in charge of children) and firm boundaries. involves hierarchies, redesigning, reframing the family systems so that it approximates a normative model of care but open boundaries between generational subsystems.

Developments in psychotherapy With the descriptions given below, identify the proponents; who do wad Expanded drive theory to include non-sexual drives Introduced methods of play therapy Proposed that gratification is obtained through relationships as well as through satisfaction of one's desires Examination of games and scripts that characterize relationships Every individual has the motivation and ability to change, and he or she is the best person to decide on the direction of change.
1) Jung expanded the drive theory to include drives other than libido. He also introduced ideas of 'collective unconscious' and personality archetypes. Jung is also associated with concepts such as extroversion and introversion. 2) Melanie Klein introduced methods of play therapy. She is also associated with theories of childhood development including primitive defense mechanisms such as 'splitting'. 3) Donald Winnicott was one of the proponents of the object relations theory. He argued that gratification could be obtained through relationships as well as through satisfaction of desires. 4) Eric Berne is associated with the transactional analysis. He emphasized the importance of therapeutic attributes of genuineness, accurate empathy and unconditional positive regard. 5) Client-centered psychotherapy is associated with Carl Rogers. This therapy is based on the principle that every individual has the motivation and ability to change, and he or she is the best person to decide on the direction of change. Client-centered therapy is nondirective as the therapists avoid directing the therapeutic process. It emphasizes the importance of 'therapeutic attributes of genuineness', 'unconditional positive regard' and 'accurate empathy'.
254
Who suggest basic assumptions Formulation matrix
1) Bion postulated that whenever a group gets derailed from its task, it deteriorates into one of three primary states, that are also called basic assumptions. It includes dependency, pairing, or fight-flight. These basic assumptions must be tackled to allow group work to proceed. 3) The formulation matrix in group therapy was described by Foulkes. It refers to a hypothetical web of communication and relationship in a given group. It is the common shared ground, which ultimately determines the meaning and significance of all events and upon which all communication and interpretations, verbal and nonverbal rest.
255
This therapy focuses on hidden rules and on disagreements about who makes these rules and on inconsistencies between these two levels of interaction. What it is focus on?
In systems approach to couple therapy the focus of treatment is on hidden rules that govern the behaviour of the couple towards one another, on disagreements about who makes these rules and on inconsistencies between these two levels of interaction. Important concepts include enmeshment, which is excessive involvement with the other person and the idea of a cycle of 'cause and effect' such that neither person is whole to blame. These ideas are discussed in conflicts arising in the everyday life of the couple, and it is hoped to arrive at a more balanced and cooperative relationship.
256
This therapy employs communication training, reciprocity negotiation, structural moves requiring disagreement, reversed role-play and the use of paradox. Creat by who How many sessions
Behavioural systems couple therapy was developed by Crowe. It has two sets of components. The behavioural components are reciprocity negotiating and training in communication. The systems components are structural moves (include requiring disagreement, reversed role play & sculpting, timetables & tasks) and the use of paradox. Treatments usually last for 5-10 sessions over 3-6 months.

Tom Main coined the term therapeutic community. Maxwell Jones established the therapeutic community, and Rapoport explained the key features of Therapeutic communities that include communalism, democracy, permissiveness and reality confrontation. Yalom cited 11 'curative' factors responsible for a change in groups. The curative factors include the instillation of hope, universality, imparting information (feedback), altruism, corrective recapitulation, socialisation techniques, imitative behaviour, interpersonal learning, group cohesiveness, catharsis and existential factors. Of these, cohesiveness, and learning from feedback are valued positively though other factors may also be important.

The token economy was pioneered by Ayllon, Azrin, Paul & Krasner (Camarillo State Hospital, Calif.). The full range of self-care, social, and work behaviors were thought to be modifiable through systematic and preplanned use of antecedents and consequences of these actions. The "psychopathological" behavior of the mentally ill was conceptualized as being subject to the same "laws of learning" that influenced normal behavior. The tokens could be conveniently dispensed to patients contingent on their exhibiting improvements in their behavior. (Am J Psychiatry 157:9, September 2000).

What scale can be use for political/social attitudes
A Guttmann Scalogram is a scale composed of several yes/no items in a manner such that if a respondent agrees to the one statement, he/she is likely to agree to the lower order statements as well. So the total score of the scale represents a single index for the continuum that is measured. In other words, a person's entire set of responses to all items can be reconstructed from their score. This procedure is also called cumulative scaling. The Guttman scale is most suitable for hierarchical constructs e.g. social attitudes, political views, developmental stages, etc. E.g. Bogardus Social Distance Scale is a cumulative scale used to measure the willingness of people in accepting an immigrant into their social groups (E.g., family, work etc).

Multivariate techniques It reduces a large number of variables that are highly inter-correlated into a smaller group of representative variables It predicts the value of a single dependent variable based on the values of several independent variables It predicts the value of a dichotomous variable based on the values of several independent variables
1) Factor analysis is essentially a method of data reduction - here groups of variables that are highly inter-correlated in a dataset are identified. Then simple correlation analysis of individual factors is carried out. A good example is factor analysis of positive symptoms by Liddle to describe three groups of variables - reality distortion, psychomotor poverty and disorganization syndromes. 2) Multiple linear regression is a linear regression model in which there is a single dependent variable and 2 or more independent variables. In multiple linear regression, several independent variables together predict a single dependent variable. Consider y = a+b1x1 + b2 x2+ b3x3+ b4x4......................+ bnxn. Multiple regression is a multivariate technique. 3) Logistic regression is used to predict the relationship between a binary dependent variable and several independent variables. For linear regression, the dependent variable must be continuous. If the dependent variable is binary, then the logistic regression is used. It is commonly used to get OR, RR or hazard ratio for independent variables that affect the dependent variable.

Methods Adjusted odds ratio when controlling for confounders in a cohort study Summary odds ratio in meta-analysis when there is a substantial difference between the treatment and control group sizes Summary odds ratio in meta-analysis when there is minimal difference between the treatment and control group sizes
Both Mantel-Haenszel method and Peto method are used to arrive at summary Odds Ratio in a meta-analysis of studies that report dichotomous outcome variables. Peto is often used when the ratio of the number of cases vs. controls or exposed vs. unexposed is not considerably different in individual studies. This is often the case in RCTs. In contrast meta-analysis of cohort studies and case-control studies often use Mantel-Haenszel procedure where there are considerable differences in the ratio of group sizes between individual studies. Also, Mantel-Haenszel is primarily used for stratifying odds ratios to analyse and control confounders in causal studies.

A 31-year-old mother of 2 months old child is breastfeeding her baby. But she develops an episode of hypomania whilst free of mood stabilisers and requires a psychotropic medication now. Which of the following is best suited?
All psychotropic drugs enter breast milk but the ratio between infant and maternal plasma levels varies greatly. The rates of adverse effects are uncertain, but there are sporadic reports of problems with, for example, toxicity due to lithium, hepatic dysfunction due to CBZ and thrombocytopaenia or anaemia attributed to valproate. In general, the risks to the infant are the same as those for any patient exposed to the medicine, so clozapine is usually regarded as contraindicated because of the risk of agranulocytosis. Lamotrigine will carry the possibility of rash. Due to its narrow therapeutic index lithium is generally regarded as being a relative contraindication to breastfeeding because it is present in breast milk at 40% of the maternal serum concentration (American Academy of Paediatrics Committee on Drugs, 2000). Though valproate and carbamazepine are equally acceptable, valproate being a better antimanic drug it is recommended as the answer for this MCQ.
