Studies conducted in twins show a threefold increased risk of psoriasis in monozygotic twins versus fraternal twins.7 In addition, based on a study in 3,095 families with psoriasis, the calculated lifetime risk of developing psoriasis if no parent, one parent, or both parents have psoriasis was found to be 0.04, 0.28, and 0.65, respectively. If there was already one affected child in the family, the risks were increased to 0.24, 0.51, and 0.83, respectively.7,9 As many as 71% of patients with psoriasis during childhood have some positive family history.1 Similarly, psoriatic arthritis is heritable, with a prevalence 19 times higher in first-degree relatives of patients with psoriatic arthritis than in the general population.7...

Humans have been exposed to nickel in nickel mines and processing plants, and numerous epidemiology studies have been performed to assess the cause of death in these workers. Accidental ingestion of nickel also has been documented in a small child and in electroplating workers. Nickel dermatitis is the most prevalent effect of nickel in humans. 

Psychosocial morbidity association. Cannabis dependence is a prevalent comorbid substance use disorder among patients early in the course of a schizophrenia-spectrum disorder. Among 29 eligible patients, 18 participated in the study. First-episode patients with comorbid cannabis dependence (n = 8) reported significantly greater childhood physical and sexual abuse compared with those without comorbid cannabis dependence (n = 10). The result indicated the preliminary evidence of an association between childhood maltreatment and cannabis dependence among this especially vulnerable population. Child-...

According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 1.4 million cases of child maltreatment are reported annually, with 160,000 children suffering serious injuries and 2000 children dying each year as a consequence of maltreatment. Prevalence rates have been evaluated for different types of abuse in clinical, community, and national samples. Prevalence rates of sexual abuse range from 7%-62% in women (McCauley et al., 1997). A reanalysis of 166 studies on the prevalence of sexual abuse in boys revealed rates from...

Not only does the absolute total number of prescriptions differ among physician specialities, but also the likelihood that one will receive a prescription from a given specialty varies, once the patient is seen in the provider s office. From the 1996 NAMCS database, Hoagwood et al. (2000) found that prescription prevalence rates vary among different providers 94.9% of visits by children with ADHD to family practitioners entailed the prescription of stimulants, while only 74.2% of such visits to psychiatrists and 75.4% of visits to pediatricians resulted in a stimulant prescription. Furthermore, while 14.8% of the visits to psychiatrists resulted in a nonstimulant prescription, only 1.9% of visits to family practitioners involved nonstimulant medication prescriptions. When considering the likelihood of any medication being prescribed (stimulants or nonstimulants) for a child with presumed ADHD, 11% of psychiatrist visits resulted in no prescription at... 

Similarly, Kaplan and Busner (1997) assessed the prevalence of psychotropic use during 1991 among inpatient pediatric (< 18 years) populations who were treated by child psychiatrists in a New York suburban area. One state, one county-university, and one private hospital were surveyed. Findings showed that overall, 79% (state), 68% (county-university), and 76% (private) of the child and adolescent patients in the population received a psychotropic treatment during the course of the study. The prevalence of antidepressant treatment in the private hospital was very high (80%) but relatively low in the other hospitals (26% each). Antipsychotics were prescribed to 74% of the county hospital patients, and to 57% and 35% of the patients at the other locations. Stimulants were prescribed only rarely (2%, 3%, and 4% of patients). Lithium was prescribed to 35% and 34% of state and county hospital patients, respectively, and to 16% of private hospital patients. Other mood stabilizers (anticonvulsants) were prescribed frequently to private and county hospital patients (31% and 23%, respectively).
