The temporal relationship between premonitory urges and covert compulsions in patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder
No full textRecent studies in patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) have shown that many compulsions are associated with urges rather than obsessions. Premonitory urges are uncomfortable sensory feelings or a rising inner tension, often likened to the urge to scratch, yawn or blink. We studied premonitory urges preceding mental compulsions in 19 patients with OCD and preceding eye blinks in 16 healthy controls. Urge intensity was assessed continuously over 20 min using a real-time urge intensity monitor; compulsions and blinks were measured as discrete events in a free compulsion/blinking and a compulsion/blink suppression condition. Urge intensity showed an inverted U-shaped relationship (increase then decrease) around compulsions within a time-window of approximately 60 s in patients with OCD and within 13 s around blinks in healthy controls. Urge intensity was higher during compulsion / blink suppression and varied more independently of compulsion execution in patients with OCD. There is a close temporal relationship between premonitory sensations and compulsion execution that changes when compulsions are suppressed, indicating that urge intensity might drive the execution of and is then alleviated by compulsions. Suppression weakens the association between urge intensity and compulsion execution
Reports and Interviews: Abhishiktananda Society: Retreat--Seminar: Mysticism -- Saiva and Christian: Rajpur, India November 1-6, 1990
No full textIt was Swami Abhishiktananda\u27s dream to realize a spiritual dialogue between Hinduism and Christianity. During his lifetime most of the dialogue meetings in which he took an active part were in fact ecumenical meetings of Christians encountering Hinduism. Together we had planned a Hindu-Christian meeting in Varanasi which did not come about. In fact, Swamiji\u27s was a personal dialogue, first within himself, and with his Hindu gurus, friends, fellow sannyasis and disciples. The results he passed on to his Christian friends and disciples

Temporal relationship between premonitory urges and tics in Gilles de la Tourette syndrome
No full textPremonitory urges are a cardinal feature in Tourette syndrome and are commonly viewed as the driving force of tics, building up before and subsiding after the execution of tics. Although the urge-tic interplay is one of the most preeminent features in Tourette syndrome, the temporal relationship between tics and urges has never been examined experimentally, mainly due to the lack of an appropriate assessment tool. We investigated the temporal relationship between urge intensity and tics in 17 Tourette patients and between urge intensity and eye blinks in 16 healthy controls in a free ticcing/blinking condition and a tic/blink suppression condition. For this purpose, an urge assessment tool was developed that allows real-time monitoring and quantification of urge intensity. Compared to free ticcing/blinking, urge intensity was higher during the suppression condition in both Tourette patients and healthy controls, while tics and blinks occurred less frequently. The data show that urge intensity increases prior to tics and decreases after tics in a time window of approximately ±10 sec. Tic suppression had a significant effect on the shape of the urge distribution around tics and led to a decrease in the size of the correlation between urge intensity and tics, indicating that tic suppression led to a de-coupling of tics and urges. In healthy controls, urges to blink were highly associated with eye blink execution, albeit in a narrower time frame (∼±5 sec). Blink suppression had a similar effect on the urge distribution associated with eye blinks as tic suppression had on the urge to tic in Tourette patients. These results corroborate the negative reinforcement model, which proposes that tics are associated with a relief in urges, thereby perpetuating ticcing behaviour. This study also documents similarities and differences between urges to act in healthy controls and urges to tic in Tourette syndrome.</p

Altered perceptual binding in Gilles de la Tourette syndrome
No full textGilles de la Tourette syndrome (GTS) is a common multifaceted neuropsychiatric disorder. Research in GTS has traditionally focussed on mechanisms underlying changes in motor processes in these patients. There is, however, growing interest in GTS related sensory phenomena. According to the Theory of Event-coding (TEC), sensory stimuli do not only serve representational functions but also action-related functions. In the current study, we use the TEC framework to examine whether the way perceptual features are processed is altered in GTS. The results show that basic perceptual processes differ between GTS patients and healthy controls which might be central for the understanding of this disorder. Details or features of perceptual objects were less bound in GTS suggesting that perceptual features integration is attenuated in them. Behavioural findings were unrelated to patient characteristics implying that they might represent trait abnormalities. It is possible that altered perceptual processing in GTS is due to a long-range under-connectivity of parietal areas with other brain regions repeatedly been described in these patients.</p
