Demand Analysis of a Psychiatric Emergency Room and an Adolescent Acute Inpatient Unit in the Context of the COVID-19 Pandemic in Madrid, Spain.

COVID-19 represents a serious threat to mental health worldwide. The aim of this study is to identify changes in adolescent psychiatry treatment demand in a tertiary hospital in Madrid during the first month (March 11 to April 11) after the pandemic declaration by the World Health Organization (WHO). We hypothesized that fear of contagion within COVID-19 may deter people from asking for psychiatric care.

Correlates of nicotine dependence in men with childhood attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder: a 33-year follow-up.

Identify correlates of nicotine dependence [lifetime (l) and ongoing (o)] in adults with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in childhood. We conducted a 33-year prospective follow-up of boys (mean age 8) with combined type ADHD (n = 135/207, 65% original sample). Correlates of nicotine dependence in adulthood were selected from characteristics obtained in childhood and adolescence.

The Relationship of the Administration of Intrapartum Synthetic Oxytocin and Breastfeeding Initiation and Duration Rates.

Aim: The consequences that intrapartum administration of hormones can have on breastfeeding are unclear. The aim of the study is to determine if synthetic intrapartum oxytocin, used routinely for induction/stimulation, has a relationship to initiation/duration of breastfeeding.

Patients And Methods: We conducted a cohort study that was carried out in a tertiary university hospital distinguished by WHO-UNICEF as a BFHI (Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative).

Childhood Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder and Homelessness: A 33-Year Follow-Up Study.

Objective: To examine whether childhood attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) predicts homelessness in adulthood, and whether the persistence of childhood ADHD through adolescence influences the likelihood of homelessness.

Method: A 33-year prospective, controlled, follow-up was performed of clinic-referred, 6- to 12-year-old boys of white ethnicity with ADHD (probands; mean = 8), at a mean age of 41 years (follow-up [FU] = 41). Comparisons, children without ADHD from the same medical center, were matched for age and socioeconomic status (SES).

Intrapartum synthetic oxytocin reduce the expression of primitive reflexes associated with breastfeeding.

Aim: Several synthetic peptide manipulations during the time surrounding birth can alter the specific neurohormonal status in the newborn brain. This study is aimed at assessing whether intrapartum oxytocin administration has any effect on primitive neonatal reflexes and determining whether such an effect is dose-dependent.

Materials And Methods: A cohort prospective study was conducted at a tertiary hospital.

Locomotor activity measures in the diagnosis of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder: Meta-analyses and new findings.

Introduction: Our aim was to assess differences in movement measures in attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) vs. typically developing (TD) controls.

Methods: We performed meta-analyses of published studies on motion measures contrasting ADHD with controls.

SENTIA: a systematic online monitoring registry for children and adolescents treated with antipsychotics.

Introduction: Despite drastic increases in antipsychotic prescribing in youth, data are still limited regarding their safety in this vulnerable population, necessitating additional tools for capturing long-term, real world data.

Methods: We present SENTIA (SafEty of NeurolepTics in Infancy and Adolescence; https://SENTIA.es), an online registry created in 2010 to track antipsychotic adverse effects in Spanish youth <18 years old currently taking or initiating with any antipsychotic treatment.

Mode of delivery may influence neonatal responsiveness to maternal separation.

Introduction: Maternal-infant separation (MIS) is a highly stressful situation for the neonate.

Materials And Methods: A study was conducted to observe and describe the reactions of term neonates to brief maternal separation and restoration of skin contact within the first 48 h of life, and to assess whether the mode of delivery influences neonatal responsiveness. A brief maternal-infant separation situation was videotaped to observe the reactions of the newborns within the first 12-48 h of life.

Breastfeeding following emergency peripartum hysterectomy.

Emergency peripartum hysterectomy (EPH) is usually performed in cases of intractable obstetric hemorrhage unresponsive to conservative treatment. EPH is associated with a high incidence of maternal morbidity and mortality. Most of these women do not have the opportunity to even start breastfeeding.
