The Environment of Health Care Primum Non Nocere Comment on The Association of Emergency Department Crowding During Treatment for Acute Coronary Syndrome With Subsequent Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Symptoms The Environment of Health Care
archinte.jamanetwork.com - 3/25/13
As a profession, we tend to neglect to reflect on the impact our environments of care may have on patients' experiences of illness. In particular, our emergency departments and inpatient wards tend to be chaotic maelstroms of human activity with few boundaries. To the unacculturated, these environments can be extremely frightening. Couple that with the terror of severe, life-threatening illness, and one can only imagine how distressing that might be. In this issue of the jou
The Association of Emergency Department Crowding During Treatment for Acute Coronary Syndrome With Subsequent Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Symptoms
archinte.jamanetwork.com - 3/25/13
Our recent meta-analysis of 24 studies (N=2383 patients) found that 12% of patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) (including patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction [STEMI], non-STEMI, and unstable angina [UA]) develop posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms owing to their ACS, and that these PTSD symptoms 1 month post-ACS are associated with a doubling of risk for ACS recurrence or mortality in the subsequent 1 to 3 years.

A current overview of cannabinoids and glucocorticoids in facilitating extinction of aversive memories: potential extinction enhancers.
pubmed.gov - 12/31/12
Emotional learning is extremely important for the survival of an individual. However, once acquired, emotional associations are not always expressed. The regulation of emotional responses under different environmental conditions is essential for mental health. Indeed, pathologic feelings of fear and anxiety are defining features of many serious psychiatric illness, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and specific phobias. The simplest form of regulation of emotional responses is extinction, in which the conditioned response to a stimulus decreases when reinforcement (stimulus) is omitted. In addition to modulating basal anxiety states, recent studies suggest an important role for the endocannabinoid (eCB) and glucocorticoid systems in the modulation of emotional states and extinction of aversive memories in animals. The purpose of this review is to briefly outline the animal models of fear extinction and to describe how these have been used to examine the potential of
Psychological stress--cellular and molecular mechanisms.
pubmed.gov - 12/27/12
Pathophysiological regulation of the stress response involves a number of complex interactions at the organismal, cellular and molecular levels. A salient feature of the stress response is the activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis. Molecular studies of this phenomenon have found a number of genes which are differentially expressed in stressed individuals and control subjects. The transcription factor NF-kappaB controls many of these genes, which is evidence of the key role it plays in the cellular stress response. Stress upregulates a number of genes such as the transcription factor genes that control cell growth, chromatin structure, cell cycle activation and enzymes involved in the biosynthesis of nucleic acids and proteins. The genes that are down-regulated in stress are cell cycle inhibitors, apoptosis related genes, antiproliferative cytokines and Apo J, the NF-kappaB inhibitor. Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is an anxiety disorder which develops as a
EMDR for post-traumatic stress and other psychological trauma.
pubmed.gov - 12/17/12
Eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing (EMDR) is a powerful psychotherapy with well-researched benefits for adults and children who are experiencing post-traumatic stress and post-traumatic stress disorder. There is a wealth of research and practice-based evidence demonstrating the effectiveness of EMDR in many differing clinical presentations but the true potential of this extraordinarily beneficial therapeutic approach has not been fully embraced by the mental health nursing profession.
The long-term consequences of military deployment: a 5-year cohort study of United kingdom reservists deployed to Iraq in 2003.
pubmed.gov - 12/14/12
Reserve and National Guard forces have been mobilized to an unprecedented degree in recent overseas conflicts. There is concern that rates of psychological problems may continue to rise for many years after deployment. The authors conducted a cohort study of 552 United Kingdom Reservists who deployed to Iraq in 2003 and 391 nondeployed Reservists. Measures of mental health and social functioning were collected a mean of 16 months and 4.8 years after return from possible deployment. At the first follow-up, deployment was associated with increased common mental disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and poor general health. By the second follow-up, those who had deployed were no longer at increased risk for common mental disorder or poor general health and had good levels of social functioning. However, those who deployed continued to have over twice the odds of PTSD (odds ratio = 2.42, 95% confidence interval: 1.04, 5.62) and were more likely to report actual or serious
Contextual representations increase analogue traumatic intrusions: evidence against a dual-representation account of peri-traumatic processing.
pubmed.gov - 11/30/12
Information processing accounts of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) state that intrusive memories emerge due to a lack of integration between perceptual and contextual trauma representations in autobiographical memory. This hypothesis was tested experimentally using an analogue trauma paradigm in which participants viewed an aversive film designed to elicit involuntary recollections.|Participants viewed scenes from the film either paired with contextual information or with the contextual information omitted. After viewing the film participants were asked to record for one week any involuntary intrusions for the film using a provided intrusions diary.|The results revealed a significant increase in analogue intrusions for the film when viewed with contextual information in comparison to when the film was viewed with the contextual information omitted. In contrast there was no effect of contextual information on valence ratings or voluntary memory for the film, or on the reported
