Luay Haddad & The Academic Journalism Secret Society Sucks

Today, I received a call from a patient in Stonecrest Center in Detroit.

The patient was informed that his wallet, with identification and Social Security card, including his phone, was "not found".

The patient called the Wayne County Mental Health Advocacy line, left multiple messages for a week, where no one has returned the calls.

The patient explained that a complaint was filed because the psychiatrist, Dr. Luay Haddad was walking around the floor discussing the patient's case with his colleagues without his consent, and filed an HIPPA complaint.

The patient entered into the system, an adolescent, because the mental health providers in Wayne County were administrating a 30 day shot for mental health purposes, and the medicine was having extremely negative side effects.

No one would listen and it was eventually off to the emergency room.

It seems Luay Haddad has a reputation amongst his younger patients of treating them like chattel because all he does is script, script, script.

So, I proceeded to do what I do best and see if I could debunk my hypothesis that Luay Haddad sucks.

The first place one must always search to determine if a subject sucks is to troll the journals.

Yes, academic journalism is a secret society, whereby NGOs will dump big stupid money to have a university come up with some manufactured credibility so they can market their crap.

If your research does not further their privatization agenda, you are rejected and shunned from the academic communities.

Without publication of the academic secret society, you are nothing.

I do not know who is worse, Harvard or Cornell...perhaps, it is Wayne State University, considering the fact I have busted them on more than one occasion.

They do not like me very much at Wayne State University, which means I am solid in my preservation of the annals of history.

All publications must demonstrate it can bill the federal government for something in a clear presentation of profit and sustainability.

In this instance the crap is setting up another layer of child welfare programs to maximize revenues of trafficking tiny humans in Medicaid.

Mental Health in Syrian Refugee Children Resettling in the United States: War Trauma, Migration, and the Role of Parental Stress

Below, is why this study was manufactured.

It was manufactured for the Detroit Land Bank Authority because they have to have a place to live and pay mortgages to Clinton, et al, right?

Before one can launch a new child welfare program, you have to get lots of money from the National Institute of Health to make it look real 'mportant.

In order for me to make my final determination on whether Luay Haddad sucks, let me share quick and dirty tale about Wayne State University and its child and youth psychology operational history.

Once upon a time there was this chick who was running the psychiatry programs at WSU.

For research purposes, of course, she had to pull an all nighter and generate State medical passports for a couple hundred kids who were locked up in St. Vincent Sarah Fisher Residential Center for years, who had no medical files, as there was a whole bunch of fraudulent billing to Medicaid and lab rat longitudinal research for private pharmaceutical corporations through NGO grants so they could market their new psychiatric drugs for kids.

Anyway, the psychiatry chick though she was slick and completed flip phone medical evaluations under the light of a dimming oil lamp into the wee hours of the morning.

One of the youth she had completed a medical exam identified the youth as a 10 year old girl, who was actually a boy.

The end. 

Luay Haddad has a history in forced migration clinical trails research.

N2  - Many Iraqi refugees suffer from posttraumatic stress. Efficient, culturally sensitive interventions are needed, and so we adapted narrative exposure therapy into a brief version (brief NET) and tested its effects in a sample of traumatized Iraqi refugees. Iraqi refugees in the United States reporting elevated posttraumatic stress (N = 63) were randomized to brief NET or waitlist control conditions in a 2:1 ratio; brief NET was 3 sessions, conducted individually, in Arabic. Positive indicators (posttraumatic growth and well-being) and symptoms (posttraumatic stress, depressive, and somatic) were assessed at baseline and 2- and 4-month follow-up. Treatment participation (95.1% completion) and study retention (98.4% provided follow-up data) were very high. Significant condition by time interactions showed that those receiving brief NET had greater posttraumatic growth (d = 0.83) and well-being (d = 0.54) through 4 months than controls. Brief NET reduced symptoms of posttraumatic stress (d = -0.48) and depression (d = -0.46) more, but only at 2 months; symptoms of controls also decreased from 2 to 4 months, eliminating condition differences at 4 months. Three sessions of brief NET increased growth and well-being and led to symptom reduction in highly traumatized Iraqi refugees. This preliminary study suggests that brief NET is both acceptable and potentially efficacious in traumatized Iraqi refugees.

Luay Haddad hangs with the Arab American Chaldean Council.

It is a very small world, Luay, very small, and I do not appreciate what I shall term as retaliation just because you suck, but I am quite sure you already know this.

Wayne State awarded $3.2 million NIH grant for schizophrenia research

DETROIT - Researchers in the Wayne State University School of Medicine's Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Neurosciences will use a new five-year, $3.2 million grant from the National Institute of Mental Health to explore the underlying mechanisms of impaired learning and memory in schizophrenia from the perspective of brain plasticity, function and network dynamics.

The NIMH defines schizophrenia as a chronic and disabling mental disorder that affects how a person thinks, feels and behaves, including loss of reality due to hallucinations, delusions, unusual or dysfunctional ways of thinking, and agitated body movements. People with the condition also have difficulty beginning or sustaining activities, focusing or paying attention, or remembering information immediately after learning it. About 1 percent of the U.S. population -- approximately 2.2 million people -- have schizophrenia, but the neurobiology of the illness remains poorly understood.

Principal Investigator and Associate Professor Jeffrey Stanley, Ph.D., and Co-Principal Investigator and Professor Vaibhav Diwadkar, Ph.D., lead the study "Advancing innovative brain imaging to detect altered glutamate modulation and network dynamics in schizophrenia," which was funded on its first submission. The study is the first to combine functional MRI (fMRI) and complex analyses of brain imaging data with innovative measurement of the brain's functional neurochemistry using functional magnetic resonance spectroscopy (fMRS).

"While fMRI data are somewhat 'distant' from fundamental neurobiological processes because the signal relies on blood flow that is correlated with -- but distinct from -- neurophysiological and neuro-chemical events, in developing fMRS we are able to measure and quantify changes in hippocampal glutamate in the brain. We have an imaging technique that may provide more direct information about functional changes in the brain," Dr. Stanley said.

The combination of approaches will provide objective biological markers of this poorly understood illness. The team plans to explore interventions that may eventually normalize the abnormal markers. "This is a longer-term goal but is central to our collective aims," he added.

The duo co-directs the department's Brain Imaging Research Division, which encompasses about 40 staff and student trainees involved in multiple areas of research, including imaging studies into obsessive compulsive disorder, mood disorders, borderline personality disorder, ADHD and reading disabilities, and more. The division has published extensively in the areas of schizophrenia and psychosis in the last seven years, with research supported by the NIMH, the Brain and Behavior Research Foundation, and other private foundations.

"Because the pathophysiology of schizophrenia remains obscure, our efforts have been in the area of innovative image analyses and methods development. Schizophrenia is fundamentally a disorder that disrupts cognitive and memory processing, psychological processes that depend on normal communication between brain regions" Diwadkar said. "Therefore, using fMRI, we have primarily been interested in how brain regions fail to 'communicate' appropriately during basic processing. Several of these investigations have zeroed in on the dorsal prefrontal cortex, or dPFC, and the hippocampus, two brain regions that are particularly implicated in the illness. The dPFC has been particularly implicated with regard to the dopamine hypothesis of schizophrenia; the hippocampus has been implicated with regard to the glutamate hypothesis of the illness.

"Using complex network analyses of fMRI signals, we have established that in schizophrenia, the dPFC and the hippocampus are characterized by abnormal interactions during associative memory and learning. This is notable because associative memory and learning are related to hippocampal glutamate. Therefore, our fMRI results provide some manner of convergence with neuro-chemical hypotheses of the illness. The addition of fMRS is a logical methodological and scientific extension of these earlier studies, and is entirely unique."

The researchers compare their current work to the implications of a biomarker like hypercholesterolemia for cardiac disease, once poorly understood as recently as 60 years ago.
"Today, managing cholesterol is a widely accepted treatment pathway in cardiac disease," Diwadkar said. "In many ways, biological psychiatry is in its infancy, yet to better treat neuropsychiatric conditions, understanding the brain is imperative. There is no other organ in the body to which psychiatric illnesses can be related as they can be to dysfunctional processes in the brain."

The project, while of substantial scientific and clinical significance, also spotlights the department's dual aims of research and clinical excellence and outreach, and will increase its recruitment possibilities, he said. The department's clinic for Treatment and Research in Behavioral Health located in the Tolan Park Medical Building is likely the only of its kind in Detroit focused on serving patients with schizophrenia and psychosis.

"Wayne State is also one of the few places that has the expertise -- personnel like Drs. Stanley and Diwadkar -- and infrastructure to carry out this innovative work that, in real time, can measure brain chemistry and function/whole brain network function/dysfunction," said Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Neurosciences Chair and Professor David Rosenberg, M.D. "Dr. Stanley is an internationally recognized physicist, and this is his second R01 as a principal investigator. Dr. Diwadkar is a renowned cognitive neuroscientist, with worldwide collaborations."

The research relies on the clinical support of Psychiatry's Vice Chair for Clinical Services Alireza Amirsadri, M.D., and Vice Chair for Education and Resident Training Richard Balon, M.D., with recruitment efforts aided by Assistant Professor Luay Haddad, M.D., and Professor Manuel Tancer, M.D. The team's research endeavors have also been supported by the department and its chair, Rosenberg, and involves members of the division's core research and recruitment team, including Dalal Khatib, Patricia Thomas, Usha Rajan, Caroline Zajac-Benitez, Asadur Chowdhary and Ashley Burgess, and the clinic team of Ed Mischel, Albert Pizzuti, Jaclynne Burns, and numerous other clinicians and social workers.
The grant number for this project is HD089875.
