  • Psychiatry beyond the current paradigm.

    Bracken, Pat; Thomas, Philip; Timimi, Sami; Asen, Eia; Behr, Graham; Beuster, Carl; Bhunnoo, Seth; Browne, Ivor; Chhina, Navjyoat; Double, Duncan; et al. (2012-12)
    A series of editorials in this Journal have argued that psychiatry is in the midst of a crisis. The various solutions proposed would all involve a strengthening of psychiatry's identity as essentially 'applied neuroscience'. Although not discounting the importance of the brain sciences and psychopharmacology, we argue that psychiatry needs to move beyond the dominance of the current, technological paradigm. This would be more in keeping with the evidence about how positive outcomes are achieved and could also serve to foster more meaningful collaboration with the growing service user movement.
  • A novel mutation in the calcium-sensing receptor gene in an Irish pedigree showing familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia: a case report.

    Elamin, Wael F; de Buyl, Olivier; Bantry General Hospital, Bantry, Co, Cork, Ireland. wael@elamin.net. (2010)
    Familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia is a rare autosomal dominant disorder characterized by asymptomatic and non-progressive hypercalcemia due to mutations of the calcium-sensing receptor gene. Disorders of calcium metabolism are very common in the elderly, and they can coexist with familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia in affected families.
