- The sensorimotor transformations necessary for generating appropriate motor commands depend on both current and previously acquired sensory information. To investigate the relative impact (or weighting) of visual and haptic information about object size during grasping movements, we let normal subjects perform a task in which, unbeknownst to the subjects, the object seen (visual object) and the object grasped (haptic object) were never the same physically. When the haptic object abruptly became larger or smaller than the visual object, subjects in the following trials automatically adapted their maximum grip aperture when reaching for the object. This adaptation was not dependent on conscious processes. We analyzed how visual and haptic information were weighted during the course of sensorimotor adaptation. The adaptation process was quicker and relied more on haptic information when the haptic objects increased in size than when they decreased in size. As such, sensory weighting seemed to be molded to avoid prehension error. We conclude from these results that the impact of a specific source of sensory information on the sensorimotor transformation is regulated to satisfy task requirements.

- In a telecare project in Northern Sweden, videophones have been used to facilitate teleconsultations between nurses and elders at a nursing home. The authors designed this study to elucidate qualities in the communication in the professional encounter between nurses and elders assisted by nursing staff in the teleconsultations. They interviewed 2 registered nurses and 5 nursing staff members with long experience of using videophones in the telecare project, out of 20 staff members, and analyzed them using a phenomenological-hermeneutic method. In a comprehensive interpretation, teleconsultations could be understood as glimpses of the experience of being in the other’s room with a feeling of providing nursing presence. This was attained when aspects such as familiarity, safety, transparency, and interest were promoted.

- Background: There is substantial empirical research linking borderline personality disorder with prolonged mental instability and recurrent suicidality. At the same time, a growing body of observations links borderline personality disorder to sexual abuse and other forms of abuse and trauma in childhood. The aim of this study was to investigate among patients admitted for parasuicide the predictive value for outcome 7 years after the parasuicide of a diagnosis of borderline personality disorder compared to the predictive value of a history of childhood sexual abuse.Methods: Semi-structured interviews were conducted at the time of the index parasuicide, with follow-up interviews 7 years later. In addition, information was collected from medical records at the psychiatric clinic. A logistic regression analysis was used to assess the specific influence of the covariates borderline personality disorder, gender and reported childhood sexual abuse on the outcome variables.Results: Univariate regression analysis showed higher odds ratios for borderline personality disorder, female gender and childhood sexual abuse regarding prolonged psychiatric contact and repeated parasuicides. A combined logistic regression model found significantly higher odds ratios only for childhood sexual abuse with regard to suicidal ideation, repeated parasuicidal acts and more extensive psychiatric support.Conclusion: The findings support the growing body of evidence linking the characteristic symptoms of borderline personality disorder to childhood sexual abuse, and identify sexual abuse rather than a diagnosis of borderline personality disorder as a predictor for poor outcome after a parasuicide. The findings are relevant to our understanding and treatment of parasuicide patients, especially those who fulfil the present criteria for borderline personality disorder.

- The high prevalence of borderline personality disorder in parasuicide raises the question whether there are differences in motives, precipitating factors, and life events as compared to other clinical groups. Consecutive hospital admitted parasuicide patients were therefore investigated for personality disorders by a structured clinical interview (SCID-II), a structured interview concerning precipitating factors and a self-report questionnaire on motives and life events. Out of a total of 64 patients, 55% met the criteria for a borderline personality disorder. While the parasuicidal motives and precipitating factors did not differ between the borderline group and the others, the borderline group reported significantly more adverse life events. Our findings suggest that the overrepresentation of borderline personality disorder in parasuicide might be related to accumulated adverse life events rather than to manipulative motives.
