  • Two Cases of Intractable Auditory Hallucination Successfully Treated with Sound Therapy

Two cases of intractable auditory hallucination successfully treated with sound therapy Yutaka Kaneko, M.D. 1 Yasuhiko Oda, M.D. 2 Fumiyuki Goto, M.D. 3 Abstract We report two cases of patients with schizoaffective disorder with treatment-refractory auditory verbal hallucinations (AVHs) who were successfully treated with sound therapy, which is effective to treat tinnitus. AVHs in both patients were alleviated within about one month, and no recurrence was reported for 31 and 17 months after the sound the- rapy together with medication.

Our study aimed at researching the effect of delusion and hallucination types on treatment response in inpatients admitted with a diagnosis of schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder. Method: The patient group included 116 consecutive inpatients diagnosed with schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder according to DSM-IV-TR in a clinical interview. Delusions types were determined using the classification system developed by Gross and colleagues. The hallucinations were recorded as auditory, visual and auditory-visual. Response to treatment was assessed according to the difference in the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) scores at admission and discharge and the duration of hospitalization. Results: Studying the effect of delusion types on response to treatment, it has been found that for patients with religious and grandiose delusions, statistically the duration of hospitalization is significantly longer than for other patients.

  • The Phenomenological Control Scale: Measuring the Capacity for Creating Illusory
    Norms for the Phenomenological Control Scale 1 1 The Phenomenological Control Scale: Measuring the capacity for creating illusory 2 nonvolition, hallucination and delusion. 3 Lush, P.* 1,2, Scott, R.

There 30 are stable trait differences in this ability, as shown by responses to imaginative suggestions 31 of, for example, paralysis, amnesia, and auditory, visual, gustatory and tactile hallucinations. 32 Phenomenological control has primarily been studied within the context of hypnosis, in 33 which suggestions are delivered following a hypnotic induction. Reports of substantial 34 relationships between phenomenological control in a hypnotic context (hypnotisability) and 35 experimental measures (e.g., the rubber hand illusion) suggest the need for a broad 36 investigation of the influence of phenomenological control in psychological experiments. 37 However, hypnosis is not required for successful response to imaginative suggestion. 38 Because misconceptions about the hypnotic context may influence hypnotisability scores, a 39 non-hypnotic scale which better matches the contextual expectancies of other experiments 40 and avoids the hypnotic context is potentially better suited for such investigation.

  • Neuropsychiatric Manifestations of COVID-19 Can Be Clustered in Three
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Neuropsychiatric manifestations of COVID‑19 can be clustered in three distinct symptom categories Fatemeh Sadat Mirfazeli1,8, Atiye Sarabi‑Jamab2,8, Amin Jahanbakhshi3, Alireza Kordi4, Parisa Javadnia4, Seyed Vahid Shariat1, Oldooz Aloosh5, Mostafa Almasi‑Dooghaee6 & Seyed Hamid Reza Faiz7* Several studies have reported clinical manifestations of the new coronavirus disease. However, few studies have systematically evaluated the neuropsychiatric complications of COVID‑19. We reviewed the medical records of 201 patients with confrmed COVID‑19 (52 outpatients and 149 inpatients) that were treated in a large referral center in Tehran, Iran from March 2019 to May 2020. We used clustering approach to categorize clinical symptoms. One hundred and ffty‑one patients showed at least one neuropsychiatric symptom. Limb force reductions, headache followed by anosmia, hypogeusia were among the most common neuropsychiatric symptoms in COVID‑19 patients. Hierarchical clustering analysis showed that neuropsychiatric symptoms group together in three distinct groups: anosmia and hypogeusia; dizziness, headache, and limb force reduction; photophobia, mental state change, hallucination, vision and speech problem, seizure, stroke, and balance disturbance. Three non‑ neuropsychiatric cluster of symptoms included diarrhea and nausea; cough and dyspnea; and fever and weakness. Neuropsychiatric presentations are very prevalent and heterogeneous in patients with coronavirus 2 infection and these heterogeneous presentations may be originating from diferent underlying mechanisms. Anosmia and hypogeusia seem to be distinct from more general constitutional‑like and more specifc neuropsychiatric symptoms. Skeletal muscular manifestations might be a constitutional or a neuropsychiatric symptom. In December 2019 a number of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) were reported in Wuhan, China that became eventually a pandemic infection with over 8 million reported cases until June 2020 1.

    4/7/2016 Auditory Hallucinations in Youth: The Good, the Bad, and the Reassuring Nick Weiss, MD April 30, 2016 Objectives • Participants will learn about the prevalence and patterns of auditory hallucinations in youth. • Participants will become familiar with approaches to assess possible auditory hallucinations in youth. • Participants will be able to describe appropriate management of possible auditory hallucinations in youth. Disclosures • I have no financial interests to disclose. • I will discuss FDA off-label use of medications, but I will designate it as such. 1 4/7/2016 Key Points • Psychotic-like symptoms are fairly common in childhood and adolescence • Schizophrenia is exceedingly rare in children (<1/10,000), and still very uncommon in adolescents • Most youth who experience psychotic-like symptoms will never develop a primary psychotic disorder • Most people who do develop schizophrenia will pass through a non-specific “prodrome” that may only be identifiable in hindsight What is psychosis? Hallucinations or delusions without insight Delusions or hallucinations Grossly disorganized speech or behavior Loss of contact with consensual reality The Continuum Perspective • Hallucinations and perceptual abnormalities occur outside of psychopathology in children, adolescents, and adults (PLIKS) • Barrett and Etheridge 1992, Verdoux and van Os 2002 • Adolescents: McGorry 1995 • Poulton 2000: 14.1% of 11 year old children in population sample had psychosis-like symptoms • Self-report questionnaires have shown 6.0-58.9% of adolescents reporting psychosis-like symptoms 2 4/7/2016 The Continuum Perspective: The ALSPAC Cohort • 6455 general population 12.9 year olds given a structured questionnaire followed by a triggered semi-stuctured interview (PLIKSi) • 5.6% of 12 year old children in population sample assessed as having had definite psychotic spectrum symptoms.

  • Visual Perceptual Abnormalities: Hallucinations and Illusions John W
    SEMINARS IN NEUROLOGY—VOLUME 20, NO. 1 2000 Visual Perceptual Abnormalities: Hallucinations and Illusions John W. Norton, M.D.* and James J. Corbett, M.D.‡,§ ABSTRACT Visual perceptual abnormalities may be caused by diverse etiologies which span the fields of psychiatry and neurology. This article reviews the differential diagnosis of visual perceptual abnormalities from both a neurological and a psychiatric perspec- tive. Psychiatric etiologies include mania, depression, substance dependence, and schizophrenia. Common neurological causes include migraine, epilepsy, delirium, dementia, tumor, and stroke. The phenomena of palinopsia, oscillopsia, dysmetrop- sia, and polyopia among others are also reviewed. A systematic approach to the many causes of illusions and hallucinations may help to achieve an accurate diag- nosis, and a more focused evaluation and treatment plan for patients who develop visual perceptual abnormalities. This article provides the practicing neurologist with a practical understanding and approach to patients with these clinical symptoms. Keywords: Illusion, hallucination, perceptual abnormalities, oscillopsia, polyopia, diplopia, palinopsia, dysmetropsia, visual allesthesia, visual synthesia, visual dyses- thesia, sensation of environmental tilt, psychiatric, neurological The topic of visual perceptual abnormalities, spe- enable the clinician to understand the phenomenology cifically hallucinations and illusions, spans many fields while diagnosing and treating patients who present with of medicine.

  • 01/02/2018 Simvastatin and Taste Disorders Introduction
    Simvastatin and taste disorders Introduction Simvastatin (Zocor®) is a HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor. HMG-CoA-reductase inhibitors (statins) are competitive inhibitors of 3-hydroxy-3methylglutargyl coenzyme-A reductase, which play a role in the synthesis of cholesterol. Statins are widely used in primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular diseases because of their effects on both the total cholesterol level and the LDL cholesterol level [1]. Simvastatin is indicated for hypercholesterolaemia and for prevention of cardiovascular mortality and morbidity [2]. Taste and smell are critical components of a person's overall sense of well-being and quality of life. [3]. Various drugs have been reported to alter the ability to taste and smell. Drug-induced taste disorders are classified into several subtypes. Taste disorders can be described as ageusia (complete loss of taste), hypogeusia (diminished sense of taste) or hypergeusia (enhanced gustatory sensitivity). Dysgeusia is a qualitative gustatory disturbance relating to a distorted taste perception or to a persistent taste sensation in the absence of stimulation. Frequently, gustatory stimuli are reported to be different from what they used to be; they are perceived as bitter, sour, or metallic [4]. Neurological Review ]. From the smell disorders anosmia describes the lack of ability to smell, hyposmia refers to a reduced ability to smell and hyperosmia to an enhanced ability to smell [3]. Dysosmia and parosmia are synonyms for distortion or perversion in the perception of an odorant; an unpleasant perception may occur when a normally pleasant odor is present, or the perception may occur when no odorant is present (olfactory hallucination) [5]. In July 2004, the Netherlands Pharmacovigilance Centre Lareb previously described a signal of dysgeusia associated with HMG-CoA-reductase inhibitors [6].

  • Ch 9–Screening Questions for Psychosis
    Screening Questions for Psychosis Th e prevalence of some lifetime history of hallucinations and delusions in the general population is 9.1 percent, although most of those reports were fl eeting visions or briefl y hearing the voice of a departed loved one (National Comorbidity Survey; R. C. Kessler, Berglund, Demler, Jin, & Walters, 2005). Th e prevalence of psychotic disorders (schizophrenia, schizophreniform disorder, schizoaff ective disorder, delusional disorder, and psychosis not otherwise specifi ed) was found in a recent U.S. national survey to be 0.5 percent (National Comorbidity Survey; R. C. Kessler et al., 2005), but that is almost certainly an underestimate since many individuals with psychosis are not in a household setting (e.g., hospitalized, in a long-term institution, or in prison). Research that examined institutions as well as households fi nds twice the rate of psychotic disorders in the population (Goldner, Hsu, Waraich, & Somers, 2002). Th us, a reasonable guideline would be to expect about or at least a 1 percent prevalence of psychotic disorders in the U.S. population. Screening for psychosis is not easy because psychotic disorders are extremely heterogeneous. To make a diagnosis of schizophrenia according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (4th ed., text revision; American Psychiatric Association, 2000), the client must have two of these: hallucinations, delusions, disorganized speech, disorganized or catatonic behavior, and negative symptoms for 6 months. Hallucinations can occur in any sensory modality, and if you are being thorough, you will ask about each possible sense. Delusions are very heterogeneous as well, although there are six or so common categories of them.
