Reported comorbidity of mental disorders with substance abuse among psychiatric inpatients in Israel

Abstract

In preparation for shifting of care from psychiatric hospital to the community, the prevalence of substance abuse comorbidity among discharged psychiatric patients was studied. Such patients are not usually treated by substance abuse programs or mental health clinics. Data from the Israeli National Psychiatric Case Registry were analyzed on reported substance abuse among all 53,379 psychiatric discharges during 1989-92. The Registry consists of data that physicians are mandated to report on all patients. The authors found that reported substance abuse comorbidity was 13.2% for males and 3.6% for females. Patients with a diagnosis of personality disorder had the most reported substance abuse. Reported drug abuse for males increased with age until age 45, and alcohol abuse until age 65. Drug and alcohol abuse by females is the highest for the patients under age 24 and declines with an increase in age. The results were almost identical for each of the four years studied. The results suggest that developing special outpatient facilities to serve this group will be impractical because of the small numbers. Ways of serving these patients in existing community mental health centers are discussed.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
