Disease relevance of Child Abuse

 

Psychiatry related information on Child Abuse

 

High impact information on Child Abuse

  • The chemistry of child neglect: do oxytocin and vasopressin mediate the effects of early experience [11]?
  • BACKGROUND: Substance abuse has been called the dominant characteristic of families involved in child abuse cases, but the frequency with which childhood victims become adult victimizers remains uncertain [12].
  • These data suggest that apoptosis, as detected by the presence of cytochrome c in CSF, is uniquely prominent among the subset of TBI patients diagnosed with child abuse [1].
  • Pituitary-adrenal responses to standard and low-dose dexamethasone suppression tests in adult survivors of child abuse [13].
  • These variables are reviewed, and an increased child abuse risk factor for children with IDDM is discussed [2].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of Child Abuse

  • Policymakers have responded to the increase in the prevalence of methamphetamine (MA) use and the associated social costs (such as crime and child abuse and neglect) by mandating a growing number of MA users to substance abuse treatment via the criminal justice system (CJS) and/or child protective service (CPS) agencies [14].
 

Biological context of Child Abuse

  • To assess physician attitudes and practices in controversial areas of child abuse and neglect, anonymous questionnaires were mailed to pediatricians, family practitioners, and emergency medicine physicians in Pima County (Tucson) and Arizona (statewide) [15].
  • Because passive inhalation of cocaine can produce measurable urine BZ concentrations, a positive urine screen does not necessarily indicate poisoning or intentional administration of the substance and therefore is not proof of child abuse or neglect [16].
 

Anatomical context of Child Abuse

 

Associations of Child Abuse with chemical compounds

  • In deciding seven recent landmark child abuse cases, the U.S. Supreme Court has addressed and sought to balance the inherent conflict between the constitutional rights of the defendant and the best interests of the child [18].
  • Young age and child abuse were associated with extremely high CSF glutamate concentrations after TBI [19].
  • Child abuse: parenteral hydrocarbon administration [20].
  • Cutaneous necrosis after contact with calcium chloride: a mistaken diagnosis of child abuse [21].
  • The jurisdiction of the Hannover Institute of Legal Medicine recently experienced an unusually high incidence of lethal child neglect, with three cases in a 5-month period in 1999 [22].
