This preliminary analysis assesses how judges view the use of behavioral genetics evidence on genetic influences to mental disorders in court. Twenty-one semi-structured interviews, analyzed using constant comparative analysis, were conducted with California trial court judges. Most judges reported the beneficial effects of this evidence being presented in court, particularly as a mitigating factor for sentencing. Yet some judges viewed it as an aggravating factor and expressed concerns about genetic privacy. Login using your SSSFT NHS OpenAthens for full text.

There is a physical inactivity pandemic around the world despite the known benefits of engaging in physical activity. This is true for individuals who would receive notable benefits from physical activity, in particular those with mood disorders. In this study, we explored the factors that facilitate and impede engagement in physical activity for individuals with a mood disorder. The intent was to understand the key features of a community based physical activity program for these individuals.

Background
Jumping to conclusions (JTC), which is the proneness to require less information before forming beliefs or making a decision, has been related to formation and maintenance of delusions. Using data from the National Institute of Health Research Biomedical Research Centre Genetics and Psychosis (GAP) case–control study of first-episode psychosis (FEP), we set out to test whether the presence of JTC would predict poor clinical outcome at 4 years..

This study shows an association between increased intake of individual saturated fats and increased risk of coronary heart disease.
It also shows a link between the replacement of these fatty acids with other types of fat, plant protein, or wholegrain carbohydrates and a reduction in coronary heart disease risk.
The strengths of this study are the large sample size and long follow-up period that looked at repeated measures such as diet, lifestyle and health outcomes.
Limitations also found with the study
The study adds to the evidence that smoking increases the risk of serious conditions like heart disease and stroke, even if you smoke only a few cigarettes a day.
Importantly, the study doesn’t tell us if people’s sedentary behaviour led to them getting diabetes, or whether people became more sedentary after getting diabetes. However, it provides more evidence that spending a lot of time physically inactive is likely to be bad for our health.
In the UK, SSIs could be a useful first-line treatment that GPs and schools could signpost young people to, with the advantage that they could access them right away and at a time and place that fits in with their lives. SSIs could also be useful whilst waiting for other help, and for those young people who are reluctant to talk to people about their difficulties. Whilst SSIs are in no way a replacement for longer-term therapies (nor are self-help approaches a replacement for therapist facilitated help), this addition could enable help-seeking sooner and could reach people who will never otherwise get any help at all.

Simulation-based training and assessment in healthcare are now commonplace in the majority of industrialised nations. The role of standardised patients, high-fidelity and low-fidelity manikins, synthetic, animal and virtual reality platforms, and simulation suites, are accepted, and integrated into training curricula in medical and nursing schools, and residency programmes. Despite this widespread use, only a handful of studies have assessed the impact of simulation-based education on patient and health system outcomes, and these studies have their focus on procedural skills such as central line insertion or laparoscopic surgery.1 2 To read the full article, log in using your NHS OpenAthens details.

Open access. This review considers juvenile delinquency and justice from an international perspective. Youth crime is a growing concern. Many young offenders are also victims with complex needs, leading to a public health approach that requires a balance of welfare and justice models. However, around the world there are variable and inadequate legal frameworks and a lack of a specialist workforce. The UK and other high-income countries worldwide have established forensic child and adolescent psychiatry, a multifaceted discipline incorporating legal, psychiatric and developmental fields. Its adoption of an evidence-based therapeutic intervention philosophy has been associated with greater reductions in recidivism compared with punitive approaches prevalent in some countries worldwide, and it is therefore a superior approach to dealing with the problem of juvenile delinquency.

Social work field education, the mandatory, practice-based component of accredited schools of social work, is in a state of crisis. Welfare state retrenchment has reduced the social and health service sectors’ capacity to provide field education placements. Concurrently, increasing student enrollment in and the expansion of social work programmes in the academy have increased the demand for field education. Whilst the service and academic sectors have developed a range of formal and informal relationships to cope with the crisis that often benefit workers in both domains, the implications for students, especially those who are Black and Minority Ethnic (BME), remain largely unknown. This article reports findings from institutional ethnographic research based on textual analyses and interviews with five BME students from a school of social work in Southern Ontario who were engaged in securing field education placement.

Ketamine and Suicidal Ideation: Direct Effect or Epiphenomenon? SSSFT staff can use the OVID link, or you can request a copy of this article by replying to this email. Please ensure you are clear which article you are requesting.
In this randomised controlled trial, two infusions of IV ketamine were associated with remission in suicidal ideation at 3 days, compared to placebo, in a group of patients with a mix of diagnoses. The effects were most evident in patients with bipolar affective disorder.
Importantly, there were no increases in symptoms of mania in patients with bipolar disorder. It can be a worry that antidepressant treatment in patients with bipolar disorder can trigger a ‘switch’ to a manic state.
Ketamine, a synthetic derivative of phencyclidine, is a commonly misused party drug that is restricted in high-income countries because of its addictive potential. Ketamine is also used as an anaesthetic in human and veterinary medicine. In the 1990s, research using ketamine to study the pathophysiology of schizophrenia was terminated owing to ethical concerns. Recently, controversy surrounding the drug has returned, as researchers have demonstrated that intravenous ketamine infusion has a rapid antidepressant effect and have therefore proposed ketamine as a novel antidepressant. This article debates the question of ketamine as an antidepressant, considering the drug’s addictive potential, ethical concerns about prescribing a hallucinogen, the evidence base and motives behind ketamine trials.

Open access. Ketamine has recently become an agent of interest as an acute treatment for severe depression and as the anaesthetic for electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). Subanaesthetic doses result in an acute reduction in depression severity while evidence is equivocal for this antidepressant effect with anaesthetic or adjuvant doses. Recent systematic reviews call for high-quality evidence from further randomised controlled trials (RCTs).
The use of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is limited by concerns about its cognitive adverse effects. Preliminary evidence suggests that administering the glutamate antagonist ketamine with ECT might alleviate cognitive adverse effects and accelerate symptomatic improvement; we tested this in a randomised trial of low-dose ketamine.

Pharmacotherapy to rapidly relieve suicidal ideation in depression may reduce suicide risk. Rapid reduction in suicidal thoughts after ketamine treatment has mostly been studied in patients with low levels of suicidal ideation. The authors tested the acute effect of adjunctive subanesthetic intravenous ketamine on clinically significant suicidal ideation in patients with major depressive disorder.

In their presentation of guidelines for the use of ketamine in mood disorders, Sanacora et al1 rightly state that ketamine is not standard treatment in psychiatry but then inexplicably refer to 0.5 mg/kg intravenously over 40 minutes as the “standard” dose.

We congratulate Sanacora et al1 for the publication of their consensus statement in JAMA Psychiatry. The growing amount of literature on this topic has generated interest among patients and physicians, which called for such an important document as the basis for decision-making societies, health care professionals, and regulatory authorities. Until official approval of depression as an indication, off-label uses by medical experts assuming legal, scientific, and medical hazards will increase. On the other hand, ketamine clinics or ketamine wellness centers already offer ketamine as outpatient treatment with unscientific and dangerous methods. To overcome the lack of regulation, consensus statements and their dissemination are of utmost importance. Please contact the library to request a copy of this article - http://bit.ly/1Xyazai
Rasmussen has correctly pointed out that the 0.5-mg/kg dose of racemic ketamine hydrochloride used in most published reports to date was not arrived at through extensive preclinical studies or strong experimental therapeutic rationale. In fact, the 0.5-mg/kg dose provided over a 40-minute intravenous infusion implemented in the original Berman et al1 study was adopted from a previous dosing strategy devised by Krystal et al2 as a means of assessing the acute psychotomimetic, perceptual, and cognitive effects of ketamine as a potential model of psychosis.

Approximately one-third of patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) do not respond to existing antidepressants, and those who do generally take weeks to months to achieve a significant effect. There is a clear unmet need for rapidly acting and more efficacious treatments. We will review recent developments in the study of ketamine, an old anaesthetic agent which has shown significant promise as a rapidly acting antidepressant in treatment-resistant patients with unipolar MDD, focusing on clinically important aspects such as dose, route of administration and duration of effect.

Personal view. We present a review and analysis of the ethical considerations in off-label ketamine use for severe, treatment-resistant depression. The analysis of ethical considerations is contextualised in an overview of the evidence for ketamine use in depression, and a review of the drug's safety profile. We find that, based on current evidence, ketamine use for severe, treatment-resistant depression does not violate ethical principles; however, clinicians and professional bodies must take steps to ensure that guidelines for good practice are enacted, that all experimental and trial data are made available through national registries, and that the risk potential of ketamine treatment continues to be monitored and modelled. We conclude with a set of key recommendations for oversight bodies that would support safe, effective, and ethical use of ketamine in depression.

The authors of the study conclude that “KAT offers clinically meaningful improvements and demonstrated a desirable safety and risk mitigation profile”. Ongoing ketamine-based medication sessions enhance therapeutic benefits by preventing the 90% relapse rate that is often seen in single-infusion ketamine-based treatments (Kryst et al., 2020).
Hull et al. (2022) take this standpoint to reiterate the use of dissociative and psychedelic compounds for reducing important symptoms of common mental health disorders such as reducing suicidal ideation and behaviour. This could be viewed as an exaggeration, especially since the mechanism of dissociation is still relatively unknown in terms of how it reduces anxiety and depression symptoms (Liu et al., 2020).
Commentary on Cochrane corner. Glutamate receptor modulators, including ketamine, are possible candidates for new antidepressants with a novel mode of action. The pair of reviews discussed in this month’s Round the Corner considered their use in treating unipolar major depression and bipolar depression. Promising results were seen for ketamine, but further studies are needed, in particular to investigate whether the benefits are sustained or can be extended by repeated or adjunctive treatment, whether ketamine is effective in treatment resistance, whether other modes of administration are as effective as the intravenous route and the long-term adverse effects of use.
