Abnormal gray and white matter volume in delusional infestation

TL;DR: Investigating gray and white matter abnormalities in delusional infestation shows that structural changes in prefrontal, temporal, insular, cingulate and striatal brain regions are associated with DI, supporting a neurobiological model of disrupted prefrontal control over somato-sensory representations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Incidence of seclusion and restraint in psychiatric hospitals: a literature review and survey of international trends

TL;DR: Databases on the use of seclusion and restraint should be established using comparable key indicators because of huge differences in the percentage of patients subject to and the duration of coercive interventions between countries.
Journal ArticleDOI

Antipsychotic treatment of primary delusional parasitosis: systematic review.

TL;DR: Analysis of selected patients with primary delusional parasitosis showed that typical and atypical antipsychotics were effective in the majority, but that remission rates did not differ significantly between typical andAtypical anti-psychotic drugs.
Journal ArticleDOI

What does the HAMD mean

TL;DR: The results confirm the validity of the commonly used measures for remission and response in MDD trials: a CGI-I score of 2 ('much improved') corresponded to a reduction from baseline of > 50% and < 60%, and a CGI/CGI score of 1 ('very much improved') to a reduce of > 75% and< 85%.
Journal ArticleDOI

Second-generation antipsychotics in primary and secondary delusional parasitosis: outcome and efficacy.

TL;DR: This first retrospective case-based study provides low-level evidence that SGAs are effective in DP and that outcome is favorable, although a publication bias is likely.
