Forensic Psychiatric

The Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) and an information questionnaire were administered to 110 male forensic psychiatric patients at a state hospital. Patients were divided into either the overcontrolled personality type or the undercontrolled personality type based on anamnestic data and Overcontrolled-Hostility (O-H) scores. Results were consistent with theoretical predictions, indicating that the overcontrolled group showed a better adjusted MMPI profile, scored higher on scales reflecting repression, denial, conscience, and inhibition of aggression, and scored lower on scales reflecting impulsivity and acting out hostility. Moreover, when overcontrolled patients engaged in assaultive behavior, they tended to commit extremely violent crimes. The implications of these findings are discussed in terms of classification of psychiatric offenders and the treatment of the overcontrolled-hostile individual.

Platelet Release

SummaryPlasma levels of β-thromboglobulin (BTG) and fibrinopeptide A (FPA), markers of platelet release and thrombin generation respectively, were measured in 48 patients within 3 days of admission to hospital for acute chest pain. Twenty-one patients had a confirmed myocardial infarction (MI); 15 had unstable angina without infarction; and 12 had chest pain due to noncardiac causes. FPA and BTG were also measured in 23 control hospital patients of similar age. Mean plasma BTG levels were not significantly different in the 4 groups. Mean plasma FPA levels were significantly higher in all 3 groups with acute chest pain when compared to the control subjects (p < 0.01), but there were no significant differences between the 3 groups. Increased FPA levels in patients with acute chest pain are not specific for myocardial infarction, nor for ischaemic chest pain.
