The authors introduce in this paper the first results of a catamnestic research performed in 1980 through interviews on 759 psychiatric emergencies in 1978 at the Saint-Luc clinics (Woluwe). A detailed analysis of psychiatric emergencies confronts the researcher to various problems (how and why is the psychiatrist called?) and more philosophically about mental health, therapeutic efficacy or the objectivity of the analysis. The authors also emphasize deontological problems in this type of research and the image of psychiatry and psychic disarray in the practice of emergency. Furthermore, this research brings up various working accommodations. Finally, the authors indicate some future areas of action, in the specific frame of the studied clinic, in order to ameliorate alternatives to hospitalisation in face of a psychiatric emergency.

Background And Aims: Online dating applications (ODAs) are gaining popularity, raising concerns about their potential addictive effects on users' health. The main objective of this study was to investigate the association between problematic ODA use and mental health, substance use, and sexual behavior outcomes in men-who-have-sex-with-men (MSM). To achieve this, we first validated a German version of the Problematic ODA Use Scale (PODAUS), which assesses problematic ODA usage patterns.

The optimal endovascular management of cervical carotid dissection causing tandem occlusion remains uncertain. We investigated the impact of emergent carotid stenting during endovascular treatment (EVT) for acute ischemic stroke (AIS) in patients with tandem occlusion secondary to cervical carotid artery dissection. This was a secondary analysis of patients treated with EVT for AIS due to occlusive carotid artery dissection and tandem occlusion included in the retrospective international Antithrombotic Treatment for Stroke Prevention in Cervical Artery Dissection (STOP-CAD) study.

While pediatric mental health emergencies are increasing in frequency and severity, psychiatric resources remain concentrated in tertiary care facilities. Telepsychiatry has successfully mitigated these challenges in rural emergency departments (EDs), suggesting potential benefits for urban EDs that lack psychiatric resources. We implemented telepsychiatry in an urban ED to reduce ED length of stay and the need for transferring pediatric patients with mental and behavioral health complaints.
