Predictors of 1-year outcome for patients with panic disorder.

The course of panic disorder (PD) is often prolonged, but factors that affect the social outcome have not yet been made clear. The aim of this study was to find predictors of outcome for patients with PD. The subjects were 65 outpatients (28 men and 37 women) with PD (DSM-III-R) who were treated at our hospital for more than 1 year. The factors affecting 1-year outcome were evaluated by multiple regression analysis. We found that the following were predictors of poor social outcome in PD: (1) severe agoraphobia at the first psychiatric examination and (2) long duration of illness before the first psychiatric consultation. Furthermore, the complication of hypochondriacal symptoms predicted a poor outcome for PD. Early attention to agoraphobia and hypochondriasis is essential for the treatment of PD, and early introduction to psychiatric treatment is recommended.

Preputial separation and glans penis changes in normal growing Crj: CD (SD) IGS rats.

This study was designed to detect preputial separation and glans penis changes in normal growing SD rats. We examined the changes until 53 days after birth. The glans penis surface changed from a protruding os penis structure to a W shape, and from a W shape to a flattened surface with age. The protruding os penis structure changed gradually to the W shape from postnatal day (PND) 30, and all rats had the W shape by PND 35. The flattened surface was observed from PND 39, and all rats had this structure by PND 44. In all rats, the day of complete preputial separation exactly corresponded to the day of appearance of the flattened surface.
