LINKING INFECTIOUS and NARCOLOGY CARE) Evidence-Based for Engagement in HIV Care
COMPENDIUM OF EVIDENCE-BASED INTERVENTIONS AND BEST PRACTICES FOR HIV PREVENTION LINC (LINKING INFECTIOUS AND NARCOLOGY CARE) Evidence-Based for Engagement in HIV Care INTERVENTION DESCRIPTION Goal of Intervention • Improve engagement in HIV care • Improve retention in HIV care • Improve CD4+ cell count • Reduce self-reported hospitalizations Target Population • HIV-positive injecting drug users in treatment Brief Description LINC (Linking Infectious and Narcology Care) is an individual-level, strengths-based case management intervention for HIV-positive persons who inject drugs (PWID). It is adapted from the Antiretroviral Treatment Access Study (ARTAS). LINC involves coordination between the HIV and narcology systems of care to reduce barriers to HIV care and help motivate HIV-positive PWID to engage in care by supporting recognition of one’s strengths to make positive life changes. The initial session is delivered in a narcology hospital (e.g., in-patient addiction treatment setting) and includes provision of CD4 test results to increase engagement in HIV medical care. After discharge, subsequent sessions are conducted in community or clinic locations over six months. LINC aims to build self-efficacy, enable self-management, and increase outcome expectancies regarding engaging in HIV care via education and social support. Theoretical Basis • Social Cognitive Theory (SCT) • Psychological Empowerment Theory (PET) Intervention Duration • Five sessions delivered over six months Intervention Settings • Narcology hospital • Community or clinic locations • Phone Deliverer • Peer case managers (i.e., HIV-infected men and women in recovery from addiction) LRC Chapter – LINC (Linking Infectious and Narcology Care) Last updated March 17, 2020 COMPENDIUM OF EVIDENCE-BASED INTERVENTIONS AND BEST PRACTICES FOR HIV PREVENTION Delivery Methods • Case management • Printed materials • Discussion • Video • Goal setting Structural Components There are no reported structural components reported for this study. -
Autism Practice Parameters
American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry AACAP is pleased to offer Practice Parameters as soon as they are approved by the AACAP Council, but prior to their publication in the Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry (JAACAP). This article may be revised during the JAACAP copyediting, author query, and proof reading processes. Any final changes in the document will be made at the time of print publication and will be reflected in the final electronic version of the Practice Parameter. AACAP and JAACAP, and its respective employees, are not responsible or liable for the use of any such inaccurate or misleading data, opinion, or information contained in this iteration of this Practice Parameter. PRACTICE PARAMETER FOR THE ASSESSMENT AND TREATMENT OF CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS WITH AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDER ABSTRACT Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is characterized by patterns of delay and deviance in the development of social, communicative, and cognitive skills which arise in the first years of life. Although frequently associated with intellectual disability, this condition is distinctive in terms of its course, impact, and treatment. ASD has a wide range of syndrome expression and its management presents particular challenges for clinicians. Individuals with an ASD can present for clinical care at any point in development. The multiple developmental and behavioral problems associated with this condition necessitate multidisciplinary care, coordination of services, and advocacy for individuals and their families. Early, sustained intervention and the use of multiple treatment modalities are indicated. Key Words: autism, practice parameters, guidelines, developmental disorders, pervasive developmental disorders.

Trojan Terrorism: Revenge Colonists Or Condition of Evolution? (To the Problem “Your/Alien”)
Philosophy Study, April 2018, Vol. 8, No. 4, 191-208 doi: 10.17265/2159-5313/2018.04.005 D DAVID PUBLISHING Trojan Terrorism: Revenge Colonists or Condition of Evolution? (To the Problem “Your/Alien”) Menshikova Elena Rudolfovna Expert New Institute for Cultural Research Thinking about the problem of terrorism, the author finds its origins in the myth of the Trojan War, treating it as a battle for space, which was the primary basis for the civilizational leap—the expansion of the Greek world to the east, which led to the flourishing of Greek culture, creating a precedent of justified colonialism, provided strategy and tactics—the causal apology of violence—all subsequent wars, colonial campaigns, which was no exception for the migratory flows of the XX century, as a result of which the word “terrorism” sounded with by force of the song of B. Brecht. The theme of “space”—chucked away, lost, taken away, destroyed, compressed, anarchic, empty, boundless, virtual—remains vital in our time, when the limitless possibilities lead to the limitation of man himself, his emptiness, and “complete shortness” (Platonov), when the treaty as the basis of human existence is rejected, and when you become the Other yourself. The metaphysics of “violence” is buried in anthropology—in ignorance of one’s limits by man, in denying the boundaries of “another’s,” in unwillingness to ask a question and find the answer, in laziness and, in fact, in the loss of oneself. Keywords: myth, space, terrorism, Own/Alien’s, treaty, another, happiness The subtitle to the topic could be played cinematically: “Good, bad, evil: What is happiness, brother?”—then an allusion to the Scorsese’s western (“Il Buono, il brutto, il cattivo,” 1966) and Balabanov’s film (“Brother,” 1997), that became cultic at different times of the revolutionary 20th century, and as a result of social transformations experienced by a society divided by the ocean, history, and culture to different social formations. -

Specificity of Psychosis, Mania and Major Depression in A
Molecular Psychiatry (2014) 19, 209–213 & 2014 Macmillan Publishers Limited All rights reserved 1359-4184/14 www.nature.com/mp ORIGINAL ARTICLE Specificity of psychosis, mania and major depression in a contemporary family study CL Vandeleur1, KR Merikangas2, M-PF Strippoli1, E Castelao1 and M Preisig1 There has been increasing attention to the subgroups of mood disorders and their boundaries with other mental disorders, particularly psychoses. The goals of the present paper were (1) to assess the familial aggregation and co-aggregation patterns of the full spectrum of mood disorders (that is, bipolar, schizoaffective (SAF), major depression) based on contemporary diagnostic criteria; and (2) to evaluate the familial specificity of the major subgroups of mood disorders, including psychotic, manic and major depressive episodes (MDEs). The sample included 293 patients with a lifetime diagnosis of SAF disorder, bipolar disorder and major depressive disorder (MDD), 110 orthopedic controls, and 1734 adult first-degree relatives. The diagnostic assignment was based on all available information, including direct diagnostic interviews, family history reports and medical records. Our findings revealed specificity of the familial aggregation of psychosis (odds ratio (OR) ¼ 2.9, confidence interval (CI): 1.1–7.7), mania (OR ¼ 6.4, CI: 2.2–18.7) and MDEs (OR ¼ 2.0, CI: 1.5–2.7) but not hypomania (OR ¼ 1.3, CI: 0.5–3.6). There was no evidence for cross-transmission of mania and MDEs (OR ¼ .7, CI:.5–1.1), psychosis and mania (OR ¼ 1.0, CI:.4–2.7) or psychosis and MDEs (OR ¼ 1.0, CI:.7–1.4). -
2021 Psychiatry CERT Content Specifications
CERTIFICATION EXAMINATION IN PSYCHIATRY Beginning in 2017, the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology, Inc. (ABPN) issued two- dimensional content specifications for the psychiatry, neurology and child neurology certification examinations. Questions for the September 2021 psychiatry, neurology and child neurology certification examinations will conform to these content specifications. Within the two-dimensional format, one dimension is comprised of disorders and topics while the other is comprised of competencies and mechanisms that cut across the various disorders of the first dimension. By design, the two dimensions are interrelated and not independent of each other. All of the questions on the examination will fall into one of the disorders/topics and will be aligned with a competency/mechanism. For example, an item on substance use could focus on treatment, or it could focus on systems-based practice. The psychiatry, neurology and child neurology content specifications can be accessed from the specialty certification section of our website. Candidates should use the detailed content specifications as a guide to prepare for a certification examination. Scores for these examinations will be reported in a standardized format rather than the previous percent correct format. Starting in 2018, all future examinations given by the ABPN will gradually conform to the two- dimensional content specification. The American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology, Inc. is a not-for-profit corporation dedicated to serving the public interest and the professions of psychiatry and neurology by promoting excellence in practice through certification and continuing certification processes.
