Clinical Cases

Recent studies indicate there is some disagreement concerning the interpretation and clinical utility of the Type V Bekesy pattern. Bekesy tracings obtained over the past six years from a sample of clinical cases were analyzed and a definition was established for the Type V pattern. This definition was applied to Bekesy tracings obtained from normal listeners, hypoacusics, and pseudohypoacusics. The Type V pattern was found frequently among pseudohypoacusics and only rarely among other individuals.

Disordered Speech

Spectral moment analysis (SMA) is an acoustic analysis tool that shows promise for enhancing our understanding of normal and disordered speech production. It can augment auditory-perceptual analysis used to investigate differences across speakers and groups and can provide unique information regarding specific aspects of the speech signal. The purpose of this paper is to illustrate the utility of SMA as a clinical measure for both clinical speech production assessment and research applications documenting speech outcome measurements. Although acoustic analysis has become more readily available and accessible, clinicians need training with, and exposure to, acoustic analysis methods in order to integrate them into traditional methods used to assess speech production.

Fragestellung: Erwachsene mit Anorexia nervosa (AN) zeigen vor und nach Gewichtsrehabilitation Beeinträchtigungen kognitiver Funktionen. Im Bereich der kindlichen und früh-adoleszenten AN besteht ein großer Bedarf an strukturierten Untersuchungen der kognitiven Funktionen. Bisherige Studien weisen methodische Inkonsistenzen bezüglich der Testauswahl und der Operationalisierung kognitiver Funktionen auf, die die Interpretierbarkeit und Vergleichbarkeit der Befunde deutlich einschränken. Um diese Inkonsistenzen zu verringern, wurde eine neuropsychologische Testbatterie, das sogenannte „Ravello Profil“ entwickelt, das bisher jedoch nicht für den deutschen Sprachraum zur Verfügung steht. Die vorliegende Arbeit stellt daher eine für den deutschen Sprachraum adaptierte Version des Ravello Profils vor und überprüft dessen Anwendbarkeit im Kindes- und Jugendalter. Methodik: Das Ravello Profil wurde für den deutschen Sprachraum adaptiert. Anhand von drei Fallbeispielen wurde die Durchführbarkeit des Ravello Profils bei Kindern und Jugendlichen mit AN überprüft. Ergebnisse und Schlussfolgerungen: Die Fallbeispiele verdeutlichen die Anwendbarkeit des adaptierten Ravello Profils bei Kindern und Jugendlichen mit AN. Das Ravello Profil ermöglicht somit auch im deutschen Sprachraum methodisch konsistente Untersuchungen kognitiver Funktionen bei Kindern, Jugendlichen und Erwachsenen mit AN. Mithilfe des Ravello Profils kann die Rolle kognitiver Funktionen bei der Entstehung einer AN über eine umfassende Altersspanne systematisch untersucht werden.

Objective: This study examines retrospective correlates of nonshared family environment prior to onset of disease, by means of multiple familial informants, among anorexia and bulimia nervosa patients. Methods: A total of 332 participants was included (anorexia nervosa, restrictive type (AN-R): n = 41 plus families); bulimic patients (anorexia nervosa, binge-purging type; bulimia nervosa: n = 59 plus families). The EATAET Lifetime Diagnostic Interview was used to establish the diagnosis; the Subjective Family Image Test was used to derive emotional connectedness (EC) and individual autonomy (IA). Results: Bulimic and AN-R patients perceived significantly lower EC prior to onset of disease compared to their healthy sisters. Bulimic patients perceived significantly lower EC prior to onset of disease compared to AN-R patients and compared to their mothers and fathers. A low family sum – sister pairs sum comparison – of EC had a significant influence on the risk of developing bulimia nervosa. Contrary to expectations, AN-R patients did not perceive significantly lower levels of IA compared to their sisters, prior to onset of disease. Findings of low IA in currently ill AN-R patients may represent a disease consequence, not a risk factor. Conclusions: Developmental child psychiatrists should direct their attention to disturbances of EC, which may be present prior to the onset of the disease.
