BACKGROUND Previous research has suggested the clinical profile of individuals with bipolar disorder (BD) differs according to the presence or absence of comorbid migraine. We aimed to determine the clinical characteristics that differentiate individuals with BD with and without comorbid migraine in a large, representative, clinically well-characterised UK sample. METHODS The lifetime clinica...

“The web site is down”. These five words can induce a panic attack in even the most seasoned and level-headed network administrator. Every second of downtime costs money, potentially damages customer relationships, and inhibits new customers. And, to add insult to injury, it is not possible to contact the users to tell them what’s going on because they are nameless, faceless, people located som...

An attempt was made to replicate an earlier finding of a greater sensitivity to fear of criticism by obsessive-compulsives, compared to simple phobics. Two additional comparison groups were included. agoraphobics with panic attacks and social phobics. Results indicated that although obsessivecompulsives did score higher than simple phobics on a measure of fear of criticism, they could not be di...

Dans cet article, nous présentons le projet d'opéra interactif sur CD-ROM Virtualis. Ce projet comporte une dimension scientifique aussi bien qu'artistique.

SYNOPSIS. Dans un premier temps, le problème de l’extraction de motifs séquentiels peut sembler proche de celui de l’extraction de règles d’association. Ce rapprochement s’avère cependant très fragile en raison d’un élément clé qui est propre à l’extraction de motifs séquentiels : la temporalité. Cette notion permet à la fois de distinguer à l’intérieur des enregistrements un ordre d’apparition...

BACKGROUND Panic attacks may be a risk marker for a variety of psychological problems and are associated with increased impairment in a host of domains. However, previous studies have not investigated the role of physical illness in the panic attack-disability relations, which is striking due to findings that physical illness is linked to both panic attacks and disability. The present investiga...

Emerging evidence suggests that anxiety sensitivity (AS) predicts subsequent development of anxiety symptoms and panic attacks. However, evidence regarding whether AS serves as a premorbid risk factor for the development of clinical syndromes is lacking. The primary aim of the present study was to determine whether AS acts as a vulnerability factor in the pathogenesis of psychiatric diagnoses. ...
