Psychotherapy and Psychosomatics, 08/31/09
Sonino N et al. – In the highly selected population, several difficult patients could be appropriately managed by virtue of a holistic view. Such an approach must involve experienced clinicians with a broad–spectrum training in psychoneuroendocrinology and psychosomatic medicine. If confirmed in its efficacy and cost–effectiveness, this model might be further expanded.

International Psychogeriatrics, 08/31/09
Rodda J et al. – The evidence base regarding the efficacy of cholinesterase inhibitors in BPSD is limited, in part due to methodological considerations. In the absence of alternative safe and effective management options, the use of cholinesterase inhibitors is an appropriate pharmacological strategy for the management of BPSD in Alzheimer's disease.

* nou:lloperidol
- The oral formulation has demonstrated efficacy in reducing the symptoms of acute schizophrenia at fixed daily doses ranging from 12 to 24 mg.
- Iloperidone should be titrated slowly to avoid orthostatic hypotension, potentially delaying the achievement of a therapeutic dose level.
- There appears to be a dose relationship for adverse events such as dizziness, somnolence and dry mouth; for example NNH vs. placebo for somnolence was 25 for iloperidone 10–16 mg/day and 10 for 20–24 mg/day.
- Iloperidone is essentially free of extra-pyramidal side effects.
- Iloperidone is associated with weight gain comparable with risperidone.
- Long-term double-blind maintenance studies have demonstrated iloperidone's non-inferiority to haloperidol for relapse prevention.
- Product labelling includes a warning about the potential for QT interval prolongation.
- The development of a depot formulation of iloperidone as well as efforts to identify genetic biomarkers for prediction of both efficacy and tolerability are in progress.

- Bupropion and agomelatine caused significantly less sexual dysfunction than venlafaxine.
- The evidence for mirtazepine having an advantage over the SSRIs is lacking and there are currently insufficient data for desvenlafaxine.
- Well–designed comparative studies of contemporary antidepressants with direct assessment of sexual side–effects as the primary outcome measure are scarce.
* substratul antomo-patologic al schizofreniei
Chan RCK et al. – Frontotemporal brain structural abnormalities are evident in nonpsychotic individuals at high risk of developing
schizophrenia. The present meta–analysis indicates that these gray matter abnormalities become more extensive through first–episode and chronic
illness. Thus, schizophrenia appears to be a progressive cortico–striato–thalamic loop disorder.

Results
- Did not find any difference according to sex, but the mean body mass index varied significantly among the three groups of patients.
- The DEBQ external eating factor was higher in patients treated with atypical antipsychotics than in patients who received conventional neuroleptics (P=0.035).
- The TFEQ disinhibition and DEBQ emotional eating scores tended to change among the three types of treatment.
- Patients with metabolic syndrome (19%) had lower DEBQ external eating scores (P=0.044) and a tendency of higher TFEQ disinhibition scores.
- The TFEQ disinhibition and hunger scores increased according to the body mass index (P=0.003; P=0.017).
