Initial investigations of the impact of cerebrovascular pathology on cognition and mood predominantly focused on macrovascular lesions. Progressively, however, the role of a chronic accumulation of small vascular and microvascular lesions on both cognitive status and mood regulation came to light. Recent contributions have pointed to the main role of cortical microinfarcts and subcortical lacunes in dementia, providing the first pathological substrates of mixed dementia. With respect to mood regulation, the research focus has equally shifted from the localisation of macrovascular infarcts to the impact of a chronic cerebrovascular lesion burden. However, empirical results from the wider field of the “vascular depression hypothesis” remain contradictory and the relative contributions of biological and psychosocial factors are still a matter of debate. We review here the currently available datasets and theories regarding the cognitive and affective repercussions of cerebrovascular lesions while considering the methodological limitations of neuroimaging and neuropathological studies. In contrast to the initial neuroanatomically inspired lesion models, the current conception of the clinical expression of vascular burden is based on a vulnerability model. This encourages a multidimensional approach that takes into account not only lesions and risk factors but also the possibilities of early detection and intervention, thus integrating the emergent concepts of healthy aging and cognitive reserve and emphasising the role of psychosocial factors.

Stress und Stressreaktivität bei der Opioidabhängigkeit – ein Überblick

Opioid dependence is a chronic relapsing disorder characterised by a compulsive search for the substance and its consumption despite the negative consequences. Moreover, opioid dependence is marked by modified functioning of the stress regulating endocrine system (i.e., hypothalamicpituitaryadrenal [HPA] axis). Specific neurobiological changes underlie the aetiopathogenesis and clinical course of opioid dependence. These adaptations result from the brain’s ability to change its function and structure permanently and adapt to the requirements of the environment. Stress plays a key role in this process. Stress factors are among the decisive determinants within the multidimensional biopsychosocial approach. They frequently trigger craving (an irresistible desire for heroin) and hence maintain the disorder and the risk of relapse. According to empirical findings, maintenance treatment with methadone, and also with other opioid agonists (e.g. pharmaceutical heroin, diacetylmorphine, DAM), has a stresslowering effect as shown by normalised release of the stress hormones adrenocorticotropin (ACTH) and cortisol, as well as reduced craving, and hence seems to guard against relapses with severe health problems and negative social consequences. The heroinassisted treatment constitutes an effective alternative for those chronic heroindependent patients who initially do not profit sufficiently from abstinenceoriented treatments and methadone maintenance treatment. For patients, continuous opioid administration may serve as a protective factor in stress situations with which they could not cope sufficiently otherwise. At large, the opioid maintenance treatment can be understood as a kind of stress protection, being a precondition for a psychosocial treatment with the goal of improving the patient’s long term medical and psychosocial situation.

Cyberaddiction is not yet listed in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), and it is therefore necessary to clarify certain concepts. This article explains the difference between a vector, defined as a way of distributing a potentially addictive product, and the product itself. In the context of cyberaddiction computer technology in general represents the vector. The product is potentially addictive, the components being present in a computer program (such as online games). Citing as an example “World of Warcraft”, the most popular online role-playing game, the game’s addictive properties are described. References to recent clinical and experimental studies confirm the potentially addictive properties of specific online activities, and underpin the evidence that cyberaddiction is a real mental health concern.

With the present review we aim to summarise current diagnostic criteria and treatment options of Rasmussen’s encephalitis, a chronic inflammatory disease which affects mainly children, but also young adults, and is characterised by unilateral hemispheric progressive atrophy, consecutive neurological deficits and severe focal epilepsy. Pharmacoresistance against antiepileptic drugs is noted early in the course of the disease. Current approaches of immunomodulatory and surgical techniques are discussed. Up to now only surgery is able to provide complete seizure control, but it is usually offered to patients with established neurological deficits, such as hemiparesis. The choice of therapy needs to be reviewed for each patient and also conjointly with the treating physician, neurologist or neuropaediatrician, in order to provide an individually tailored therapy.
