Schizophrenia is a chronic mental disorder known for distortions in perception and thinking consist of positive and negative symptoms for over six months. Expressed emotion (EE) is an attitude towards a patient with a mental disorder from the individuals surrounding him. EE was predicted as a key element in the relapsing of schizophrenia through criticism, emotional over-involvement, and/or intrusiveness. High-EE environment has always been a known risk factor for relapsing into schizophrenia comparing to low-EE environment. However, in our case, that risk has increased the level of suicidality, as few articles have linked EE as a risk factor to increase suicidality in other mental disorders. We present a case of a young male from eastern reigon of Saudi Arabia with a high level of expressed emotion from the family in the form of emotional over-involvement, better highlighting the importance of family therapy through psychoeducational interventions in managing a schizophrenic patient.
Introduction: In-hospital cardiac arrest is a common health problem associated with high levels of mortality, our goal is to identify the important elements that play a significant role in lowering cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in-hospital (code Blue) death rates. Methods: this was a retrospective cohort study, involving patients who had in-hospital CPR at Heraa General Hospital from January 2020 to June 2022. The data was collected from the hospital's information center. Results: our sample population was over 600 patients, selected randomly from the hospital's information center. Consist of 55.1% males and 44.5% of them were females with 53.9% having Pulseless Electrical Activity (PEA) as initial cardiac rhythm. The following variables: age, intubated before CPR, intubated during CPR, initial cardiac rhythm, Adrenaline 1mg, and Amiodarone 300mg showed P-valve less than 0.05. Conclusion: There is statistically significant association between the clinical variables: Intubated before CPR, intubated during CPR, initial cardiac rhythm, Adrenaline 1mg, Amiodarone 300mg and age and "Survived after Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR)".
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
