Short Communication

  • Screening for domestic violence among patients admitted to a French emergency service

  • Objective.

    The authors assessed the prevalence of domestic violence among patients examined in the emergency service of a general hospital. They compared the socio-demographic status and psychiatric comorbidity of victims of domestic violence and other patients.

    Method.

    An assessment was made on 126 consecutive patients received by the emergency service of Bichat-Claude Bernard hospital (Paris, France). Assessment of domestic violence was made through the use of a specific questionnaire.

    Results.

    The prevalence rate of domestic violence was 18% among patients examined by the emergency service. Thirty-five percent of the cases were physical violence, 22% sexual violence, 17% psychological violence and 26% multiple forms of domestic violence. Domestic violence had been going on for less than 1 month in only one case. In 74% of the cases, violence lasted for more than 1 year. No differences were found in terms of socio-demographic characteristics (age, marital status, rate of unemployment, sex ratio) and psychiatric comorbidity between victims of domestic violence and others.

    Conclusion.

    Patients seen in an emergency service must be identified as a population at risk for domestic violence (18%). These situations can be identified only by a systematic assessment using a standardized questionnaire.

  • Efficacy of lithium treatment in Kleine–Levin syndrome

  • F. Muratori, N. Bertini, G. Masi
  • Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    16 April 2020, pp. 232-233

  • The Kleine–Levin syndrome (KLS) is characterized by periodic, sudden-onset episodes of hypersomnia, compulsive hyperphagia, and behavioral–emotional symptoms, lasting from a few days to a few weeks, with complete remission in the intercritical periods. We report on efficacy of lithium treatment in a highly recurring form of the disorder in a 17-year-old male adolescent. The decreasing severity of the disorder paralleled the progressive increase of lithium dosage, up to 0.9 mEq l–1. Implications regarding the pharmacological treatment of this neglected disorder are discussed.
