We hypothesize that there will be a significant association between country of residence and BMI and that Mexican patients will have higher BMI than their Colombian counterparts. The International Study of Latinos on Antipsychotics (ISLA) is a multisite, international, cross sectional study of adult Latino patients exposed to antipsychotics in two Latin American Countries (i.e. Mexico and Colombia). Data were collected from a total of 205 patients (149 from Mexico and 56 from Colombia). The sites in Mexico included outpatient clinics in Mexicali, Monterrey and Tijuana. In Colombia, data were collected from outpatient clinics in Bogotá. For this study we included patients attending outpatient psychiatric community clinics that received at least one antipsychotic (new and old generation) for the last 3 months. A ...

Case series with 65 male adult in-patients, describing socio-demographic and clinical variables. Prevalence of 5.9 % was higher than expected in the general population (1:100.000 in males). Mean age: 38.5 years, most illiterate (98.46%). The most frequent diagnosis was profound mental retardation in 59 (90.77 %) cases, with high multi-axis comorbidity. Folds range from 1 to 16. Age of onset and type of CVG couldn't be established. This is the largest case series reported from a single institution. There is need of further study to determine type, origin, and evolution of the sign.

Métodos: investigación de tipo cualitativo mediante entrevistas semiestructuradas a mujeres filicidas del programa de inimputables del Ministerio de la Protección Social de Colombia. Desde 1997 al primer semestre de 2003, ocho casos son analizados. Se realizó entrevista, grabación de audio y posterior categorización según método deductivo e inductivo. Se presentan viñetas clínicas, datos generales y análisis de casos de tipo cualitativo. Se excluyeron mujeres imputables o en fase probatoria del proceso judicial. Las mujeres firmaron consentimiento informado, los datos obtenidos son confidenciales y no se utilizarán en los procesos, los cuales ya han sido fallados.

Upon arrival at a psychiatric clinic in Bogotá, 76 patients were evaluated by a group of mental health professionals with experience in this diagnosis. Contrary to clinicians' expectations, there was a conspicuous lack of PTSD among this population. Subsequently, the clinical team administered the Clinician Administered PTSD Scale with 21 of these patients; PTSD was found in 57% of the men. The authors consider various arguments that might explain this discrepancy. Differences between the clinical presentation of PTSD among the ex-combatants and the classic descriptions contained in the DSM-IV-TR may be explained by organisational characteristics of the irregular armed groups. Further research is necessary which focuses on the mental health of populations in the context of political violence, such as those encountered in Colombia.
