Preburn psychiatric history affects posttrauma morbidity.

A sample of inpatient, burn-injured adults (N = 95) were assessed upon discharge, and 4 and 12 months later with a structured interview and DSM-III-R criteria. The prevalence of disorder in this sample was contrasted with published data on a representative national community-dwelling comparison group in the National Comorbidity Study. The prevalence of lifetime affective, alcohol, and substance use disorders was significantly higher, and lifetime anxiety disorders significantly lower, in the burn-injured sample. The 12-month postburn prevalences of alcohol, and substance use disorders were significantly greater in the burn-injured sample. The risk of postburn disorder was significantly greater for the subjects who had a preburn history of affective, alcohol, or substance use disorder. The risk for developing posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) was elevated in the subjects with a preburn affective disorder but not preburn anxiety disorder. Finally, postburn PTSD was associated with a greater length of stay, and greater preburn comorbidity predicted preburn employment status and tended to lengthen hospitalization.

[Nailbed capillaroscopy in Crohn's disease].

It has recently been suggested that chronic mesenteric vasculitis was a pathogenetic mechanism in Crohn's disease. We have performed a prospective nailfold capillaroscopy study in seven patients with acute Crohn's disease. Minor nailbed abnormalities were frequently observed and three patients presented with major capillary dystrophy. These features are similar to those observed in some systemic vasculitis.
