Spontaneous dyskinesias vs. neuroleptic-induced dyskinesias in 270 elderly subjects.

A comparative study of spontaneous dyskinesias and neuroleptic-induced dyskinesias was made in 270 elderly subjects of a retirement home in France. Females were found to have twice the incidence of dyskinesias (27%) than did males (12%) (p = .04). In addition, 18% of the patients who had not received neuroleptics had dyskinesias; however, 42% of those who had received neuroleptics had dyskinesias. This difference is significant at the p = .0001 level. These results are discussed in terms of the general phenomena of central nervous system degeneration in the elderly.

Violence in the mentally Ill.. A study of 547 patients at a French hospital for the criminally Insane.

This is a study of 547 patients hospitalized in a French hospital for the criminally insane over the past 10 years. This chart review study correlates diagnosis with criminal act and other psychological and sociological parameters. It is of note that the diagnosis of paranoia is strongly associated with violent crimes against persons, especially murder, whereas personality disorders are more associated with criminal acts involving property.

[Spontaneous dyskinesia in the elderly and tardive dyskinesia of neuroleptics. A survey among 270 patients (author's transl)].

Spontaneous dyskinesia among institutionalized elderly are much more frequent than previously thought. On 270 patients of a retirement home 63 (23.3%) exhibit a buccolinguofacial dyskinesia. Average age is 81.8. Frequency is twice higher among women (26.7%) than in men (15.2%), and twice and half higher if patients were given neuroleptics (42.4% versus 18%).
