STATE OF THE DEPARTMENT Welcome to Another Exciting Year This is an exciting time for our Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences and medical school; I am confident that our new faculty and trainees will share in this excitement, which is almost palpable. Firstly, I would like to welcome our newest faculty person, Dr. Shriti Patel, who is a fellowship-trained geriatric psychiatrist, and graduate of Eastern Virginia Medical School. Dr. Patel will attend on the inpatient geriatric psychiatry unit, in addition to interfacing with the school’s larger geriatric program that will be coordinated by the Glennan Center. Dr. Patel is an enthused teacher and outstanding clinician; we are both fortunate and delighted that she has elected to begin her formal academic career with us. The Department has two recently initiated large “programs” that are attracting much favorable national and even international attention: the Program for the Assessment and Medication Management of Adolescents and Young Adults with Autism Spectrum Disorders, which is directed and co-directed by Drs. Maria Urbano and Kathrin Hartmann, and the Therapeutic Brain Modulation Program, which is co-directed by Drs. Serina Neumann and Paul Sayegh. We are already underway with an innovative clinical trial that is a head-to-head comparison of two dosing strategies of D-cycloserine, a partial glycineB site agonist for the NMDA receptor, for the treatment of persons with autism spectrum disorders. D-Cycloserine is a medication that was used in much higher doses for the treatment of tuberculosis, but is of interest to us in Psychiatry because it enhances endogenous NMDA receptor-mediated neurotransmission. This clinical trial complements laboratory studies in our Department that showed D-cycloserine improved sociability in the geneticallyinbred Balb/c mouse, which is a genetic mouse model of autism spectrum disorders. Importantly, our Department is developing a clinical trials infrastructure that will enable us to rapidly implement exploratory hypothesis-testing and hypothesis-generating trials of novel medications strategies for autism spectrum disorders. Thus, Drs. Urbano, Hartmann and their collaborators will be exploring the safety, tolerability and therapeutic efficacy of galantamine, a positive allosteric modulator of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, over the course of the next year. The rationale for this latter study emerged out of the recent genetic data suggesting that there is insufficient expression of the alpha7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor or inefficient transduction of the acetylcholine signal by this receptor in persons with autism spectrum disorders. Dr. Hartmann is also taking the lead on developing a novel psychotherapeutic strategy for intervening with persons affected with autism spectrum disorders. (continued on page 2)...

State of the Department (continued from page 1) Dr. Neumann is planning to implement a trial of the combination of transcranial magnetic stimulation and a behavioral intervention for the treatment of veterans with PTSD. Briefly, in a controlled clinical setting, Dr. Neumann will administer magnetic stimulation to circuits implicated in the pathophysiology of PTSD after her patients “re-experience” the traumatic event. Hopefully, this procedure will diminish the synaptic strength of the pathological circuit perpetuating symptoms of PTSD. This study is especially important in the Hampton Roads region, which is the home to a large military and veteran community. Dr. Ball has completed a preliminary study examining the neurodevelopmental implications of a subtle abnormality of the fetal brain that is detected sonographically during the mother’s pregnancy; his data suggest that was has heretofore been referred to as a benign fetal sonographic variant of uncertain or no clinical significance may actually be (causally) associated with nonverbal learning disability and ADHD in school-age children. Certainly, his data suggest that children with sonographic evidence of this fetal brain abnormality (i.e., mild cerebroventriculomegaly as an “isolated” finding) should be followed for neurodevelopmental problems in childhood. Dr. Ball collaborated with trainees Elionora Katz and Janelle Mason on this project, in addition to Dr. Alfred Abuhamad, the Chair of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology. Dr. Spiegel continues to publish scholarly case reports and is nationally recognized for his expertise in Consultation Psychiatry. This past year, Dr. Spiegel led a Seminar at the Annual Meeting of the American Psychiatric Association on the bedside assessment of frontal cortical functioning. The APA has invited Dr. Spiegel “back” to develop a special seminar that targets trainees and early-career psychiatrists specifically. Dr. Barbara Cubic continues to provide national leadership on new integrated care models for delivering mental health services more efficiently and effectively. Drs. Robert Archer and Richard Handel bring much positive attention to our Department for their contributions to Personality Assessment, and innovative large sample studies of the MMPI in special populations. During this upcoming academic year, we will be initiating a reading seminar in Cognitive Neuroscience. Also, we will be creating a new core facility in the area of quantitative EEG. Our teaching programs remain excellent due exclusively to our entire talented faculty! The current financial health of the Department is excellent, which is due, in no small part, to the strengthening of our affiliation with Sentara Norfolk General Hospital; we are indebted to our psychiatry faculty for making the contracts with Sentara viable and even “fun.” Indeed, these are exciting times; of course, there is much uncertainty because we do not yet know the full implications for Academic Psychiatry of the new healthcare reform initiatives and legislation, nor do we know the true “meaning and implication” of Accountable Care Organizations for us. Irrespective of what awaits us, our camaraderie and support of each other will allow us to weather any and all storms. In fact, we will thrive during this period of uncertainty because we are together. Thank you for your friendship and continued personal support! Stephen I. Deutsch, M.D., Ph.D., Ann Robinson Endowed Chair in Psychiatry Professor and Chairman, Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences
