Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD)
Published in S Paige Hertweck, Maggie L Dwiggins, Clinical Protocols in Pediatric and Adolescent Gynecology, 2022
Confirmation requires at least two prospectively charted cycles (using diaries) that correlate periodicity with symptoms and presence of 5 of the 11 specific symptoms (see in the succeeding sections) and clear documentation of impairment. Diagnosis can be made provisionally prior to confirmation.
Devolopment and significance of the profession in AHP management
Published in Robert Jones, Fiona Jenkins, Managing and Leading in the Allied Health Professions, 2021
An integral part of AHP practice — clinical diagnosis — is a rigorous method of history-taking, clinical examination and assessment. Clinical diagnosis allows conclusions to be drawn concerning possible causes of the patient’s problems, enabling appropriate intervention, if required. The term ‘clinical diagnosis’ is used rather than medical or pathological diagnosis. Medical diagnosis (the doctor’s prerogative although there is often an input by AHPs), encompasses clinical diagnosis together with medical test findings, X-rays, biopsies, etc., while pathological diagnosis can only be made at post-mortem examination. The concept of clinical diagnosis underlies the clinical independence of the AHP in deciding appropriate action to be taken. Although the doctor may give a medical diagnosis, the AHPs’ independent professional role is acknowledged. This represents an important marker of AHP autonomy, recognising their distinct contribution to patient care within a discrete body of knowledge and skill
Chronic Catathymic Homicides
Published in Louis B. Schlesinger, Sexual Murder, 2021
Both acute and chronic catathymic processes can also be useful in courtroom proceedings as a supplement to a traditional DSM diagnosis, especially in cases where the offender’s motive is unclear. Catathymia is not meant to replace a diagnosis but rather to accompany it. A clinical diagnosis is a description of symptoms. The catathymic process helps explain the individual’s behavior. Neither a diagnosis nor a psychodynamic explanation can directly satisfy the requirements of a legal standard; however, various disorders, conditions, and syndromes that relate to the loss of control are always of interest to the court. And as noted in Chapter 5, a catathymic homicide in its pure form may be relatively rare, but features or elements of the process can be found in many cases.

Published in Issues in Mental Health Nursing, 2023

Peer-reviewed journal articles published in the English language between 2000 and 2022 in relation to nurse-led physical health interventions for people with mental illness were included in the review. For the purpose of the current review, a ‘nurse’ was defined as an enrolled nurse, a registered nurse, or a credentialled mental health nurse. ‘Nurse-led’ was determined by either the lead author being a nurse as noted in the author postnominals/qualification, or a nurse or nurses created and delivered the physical health intervention as described in the included manuscript (Jacob et al., 2023). ‘Mental illness was defined as medical diagnosis of psychotic illnesses, primarily schizophrenia spectrum or bipolar affective disorder, and major depressive disorder. Articles were excluded if they did not meet the definition of nurse, nurse-led, and mental illness. In addition, papers were excluded if the role of nurse within a physical health intervention was not clearly described, and where the role of the nurse was to support rather than lead the physical health intervention. Editorials, non-peer-review articles, dissertations, letters, book chapters, review articles, gray literature, and conference proceedings were also excluded.
Clinical prognostic risk analysis and progression factor exploration of primary breast lymphoma
Published in Hematology, 2022
Jili Deng, Lan Mi, Xiaopei Wang, Jun Zhu, Chen Zhang, Yuqin Song
We retrospectively included patients diagnosed with lymphoma with breast involvement and patients who had completed at least one cycle of systemic treatment between November 2004 and October 2020 at two centers (Peking University Cancer Hospital & Institute and Peking University International Hospital). Secondary breast lymphoma was excluded, involving distant lymph nodes in non-breast drainage areas or distant organs based on the definition of PBL. Finally, 63 PB-DLBCL patients were included according to the current standard definition. The pathological diagnosis was by the World Health Organization diagnostic criteria in different periods(Version 2001, 2008,and 2016)[18]performedby the pathology department of our hospital. The staging criteria were as follows: stage I, unilateral breast involvement; stage II, unilateral breast involvement with regional lymph node involvement; and stage IV, bilateral breast involvement with or without regional lymph node involvement.
Orbital and periorbital dermoid cysts: a retrospective analysis of 270 lesions
Published in Orbit, 2022
Diana H. Kim, Daphna Landau Prat, Samuel Tadros, William R. Katowitz
The dermoid cyst is the most frequent cystic orbital lesion seen in the pediatric population,1 accounting for up to 46% of all childhood orbital tumors.2 It is a benign congenital malformation (choristoma) arising from embryonic ectoderm left between fetal lines of closure, most often in the frontozygomatic suture line. It can also present in the frontoethmoidal and frontomaxillary sutures. The dermoid cyst exhibits a slow growing behavior and becomes noticeable in the first few years of life. In the majority of patients, the lesion is superficial but a small portion may present with a “tip of the iceberg” effect, in which a deeper lesion with possible trans-osseous extension is present3; this is often referred to as a dumbbell cyst. Growth often involves CNS, orbital, or nasal extension. Provisional diagnosis is made clinically with or without imaging and confirmed by histopathology.4,5
