Deficits in automatically detecting changes in conjunction of auditory features in patients with schizophrenia.

Disturbances in processing simple acoustic changes in a stream of stimuli have been widely reported in patients with schizophrenia, but little is know about auditory feature conjunction in these individuals. This study was designed to examine the extent to which patients with schizophrenia automatically process changes in conjunction of auditory features by using event-related brain potentials. Seventeen patients and 17 age-matched controls were presented with frequent low pitch tones at 45 degrees to the left of center and frequent high pitch tones at 45 degrees to the right of center while performing a continuous visual serial-choice reaction time task. The sequence of auditory stimuli included rare conjunction-deviants comprised of a different combination of features (e.g., low pitch tone at 45 degrees right) and double-deviant tones that differed from the standard tones in both pitch and location (i.e., middle pitch at 0 degrees azimuth). Conjunction-deviant stimuli elicited an MMN wave that was maximum at frontocentral sites. Compared with controls, the MMN to conjunction-deviant was reduced in patients and was more centrally distributed. Double-deviant sounds generated a biphasic MMN followed by a P3a wave at central sites. Both MMN and P3a were reduced in patients compared with controls. These results show that patients with schizophrenia have difficulty in automatically detecting changes in a combination of auditory features as well as orienting to what "normally" would be considered salient by healthy individuals.

We examined the perceived problems and needs for services among 72 middle-aged and elderly outpatients with schizophrenia and related psychotic disorders. The survey questionnaire included 50 Likert scaled items involving everyday functioning skills, health, clinical symptoms, and social skills. Subjects assigned the highest priority to physical health and memory. Other areas of high priority were: social functioning, education about their own mental illness, and improvements in sleep and mood. Reducing frequency of psychiatric hospitalization, and drug or alcohol rehabilitation received low priority. Focused interventions targeting health-related and social issues are needed in older patients with schizophrenia.

Enhancement of executive functioning skills: an additional tier in the treatment of schizophrenia.
Davalos DB, Green M, Rial D.

Schizophrenia is viewed by most as having a neuropsychological component, with deficits primarily occurring in the areas of attention/concentration, memory, and executive functioning. These deficits often contribute to difficulties in everyday living and social functioning. The purpose of this study is to examine the efficacy of cognitive rehabilitation methods, typically utilized by brain-injured patients, to improve the executive functioning skills of patients with schizophrenia spectrum disorders. While this pilot study is limited in terms of sample size, results suggest that the addition of cognitive rehabilitation to the comprehensive treatment of schizophrenia could be beneficial in enhancing daily living skills.

Ethical challenges of decision making with pregnant patients who have schizophrenia.

OBJECTIVE: Because there is a dearth of literature, we developed an ethical framework to guide decision making about the management of pregnancy of patients with schizophrenia. STUDY DESIGN: We review pertinent literature on schizophrenia and pregnancy, including information on maternal and fetal risks and outcomes, and relate this information to ethical concepts. RESULTS: The ethical framework has five components: the concept of chronically and variably impaired autonomy, assisted decision making, surrogate decision making, strategies for dealing with the physician's feelings in response to these patients, and the concept of the fetus as a patient. We apply this ethical framework to clinical challenges of decision making during pregnancy with this patient population. CONCLUSIONS: The preventive ethics strategies of assisted and surrogate decision making can be used to prevent ethical conflicts in decision making about the management of pregnancy of patients with schizophrenia. These preventive ethics strategies should contribute significantly to reducing the vulnerability of these patients and therefore to enhancing their autonomy in the physician-patient relationship.

There are a number of approaches to hair loss problems.
Hair Million is an herbal alternative. It is a formula made of traditional, edible herbs
and has been anecdotally demonstrated the efficacy to ward off hair loss
problems.
There is no singular medical or alternative cure for hair loss since the
biology of hair growth is a highly complicated phenomenon.
It is unknown how Hair Million stops hair loss,
and promotes hair restoration.
The advantages of Hair Million over other approaches are, firstly, Hair Million is comparatively inexpensive,
and secondly, it is made only of traditionally used safe and healthy herbs that promote hair growth
according to Chinese pharmacopoeia. In addition, Hair Million is cardiotonic, meaning that Hair Million consists of herbs
that strengthens your heart, according to Chinese medicine. There is an interesting research paper which correlates baldness
to heart diseases: people with alopecia or hair loss
problems are significantly more likely to develop heart attacks.
DHEA is a natural hormone, and it is produced in our body by the adrenal glands.
DHEA has been suggested to provide numerous potential benefits. DHEA (or dehydroepiandrosterone) is converted into androgens (male hormones)
or estrogens (female hormones) in the cells.
