Question 1: Which of the following statements regarding recurrent suicidal and self-harm behaviour in borderline personality disorder is FALSE?

This chapter extends the conceptual framework laid out in Chapter 2 to a series of basic questions about various dimensions of ancient and historical pastoralism, using constellations of methods reviewed in Chapters 4 and 5. Answering these questions on the basis of empirical archaeological data also builds a broader basis for comparing ancient pastoralism to historically and ethnographically documented practices, providing the means to generate stronger ethnographic analogies for archaeological interpretation, as discussed in Chapter 3.

Question 1: Which of the following statements about nocturnal sleep polysomnography in patients with narcolepsy is FALSE?

Question 1: John is a 22-year-old male who is overly reliant on his mother – asking her to make the majority of decisions for him, ranging from clothes to wear to jobs to apply for. He has difficulty expressing his opinions to others and often follows what has been suggested to him. He is often anxious when his mother goes on long overseas trips and worries about being unable to care for himself. What is his diagnosis?

Chapter 5 builds on the cognitivist account of literature and art introduced in Chapter 4 to provide a fresh approach to some persistent questions in literary theory, literary linguistics and the philosophy of art. It eliminates a number of long-standing taxonomic confusions and sheds light on enduring puzzles such as the problem of ‘indiscernible objects’: what is it that distinguishes a stretch of ordinary discourse and the same stretch of discourse when quoted verbatim in a poetry book as ‘found text’; mere urinals and Duchamp’s Fountain; a genuine artwork and a perceptually indiscernible perfect forgery? Are the moai, the monolithic human figures carved by the Rapa Nui people on Easter Island in eastern Polynesia, artworks? And if a ready-made artwork is accidentally broken, can it just be replaced by another token of the same type, or is the ‘original’ artwork inadvertently lost? The discussion opens entirely new ways of thinking that might help to escape centuries of dead-ends and circularities, while at the same time giving rise to new types of interdisciplinary programmes on the interface of literary and art studies, linguistics and the cognitive sciences.

Chapter 37 covers the topic of neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS) and serotonin syndrome (SS). Through a case vignette with topical MCQs for consolidation of learning, readers are brought through the management of a patient with NMS and SS from first presentation to subsequent complications of the conditions and its treatment. Things covered include the symptoms, diagnosis, differential diagnoses, investigations, the evidence-based use of pharmacological treatment such as benzodiazpines, dantrolene, bromocriptine, amatadine, cyproheptadine.

Chapter 48 covers the topic of pyromania. Through a case vignette with topical MCQs for consolidation of learning, readers are brought through the management of patients with pyromania from first presentation to subsequent complications of the conditions and its treatment.
