Beebe LH et al. – Ninety seven outpatients with schizophrenia spectrum disorders (SSDs) were randomly assigned to the Walk, Address Sensations, Learn About Exercise,
Cue Exercise Behavior for SSDs (WALC–S), a motivational intervention designed to increase exercise in SSDs (n = 48), or a time and attention control group (TAC, n = 49). This study is
among the first to examine interventions designed to enhance exercise motivation in SSDs.Receive more summaries like this by joining MDLinx. We provide free daily digests of top journal articles in your field. >> Click here to choose your specialties. |

Lakhan SE et al. – Based on the available evidence, it appears that nutritional and herbal supplementation is an effective method for treating anxiety and
anxiety–related conditions without the risk of serious side effects. There is the possibility that any positive effects seen could be due to a placebo effect, which may have a
significant psychological impact on participants with mental disorders. However, based on this systematic review, strong evidence exists for the use of herbal supplements containing
extracts of passionflower or kava and combinations of L–lysine and L–arginine as treatments for anxiety symptoms and disorders.Receive more summaries like this by joining MDLinx. We provide free daily digests of top journal articles in your field. >> Click here to choose your specialties. |

Your Article SummaryMilnacipran: a unique antidepressant? (>> click to go to the journal's website)Neuropsychiatric Disease and Treatment, 08/27/10 |
Kasper S et al. – Milnacipran, one of the pioneer serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), was designed from theoretic considerations to be more effective than SSRIs and
better tolerated than Tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs), and with a simple pharmacokinetic profile. Milnacipran has the most balanced potency ratio for reuptake inhibition of the two
neurotransmitters compared with other SNRIs (1:1.6 for milnacipran, 1:10 for duloxetine, and 1:30 for venlafaxine), and in some studies milnacipran has been shown to inhibit norepinephrine
uptake with greater potency than serotonin (2.2:1). Clinical studies have shown that milnacipran has efficacy comparable with the TCAs and is superior to SSRIs in severe depression. In
addition, milnacipran is well tolerated, with a low potential for pharmacokinetic drug?drug interactions. Milnacipran is a first–line therapy suitable for most depressed patients. It
is frequently successful when other treatments fail for reasons of efficacy or tolerability.Receive more summaries like this by joining MDLinx. We provide free daily digests of top journal articles in your field. >> Click here to choose your specialties. |

Diener HS et al. – Chronic migraine is defined in different ways. The most commonly used definition is headache on more than 15 days per month in patients with
migraine. Chronic migraine is difficult to treat and requires a multidisciplinary approach. Only two pharmacological treatments have been shown to be effective in placebo–controlled
randomized trials: topiramate and local injection of botulinum toxin. Both therapies are effective in patients with chronic migraine with and without medication overuse. Many other
substances have been investigated in chronic daily headache. All trials were underpowered and, therefore, recommendations concerning possible efficacy are not possible.Receive more summaries like this by joining MDLinx.

Subjective loss of QoL associated with psychotic disorders may be smaller than objective loss of functioning suggests. The EQ?5D is problematic as an outcome measure in psychotic

Horvath S et al. – Individuals with genuine high self–esteem in contrast, self–presented more moderately and also used the more socially accepted
discounting of negative traits. Subsequent increased accessibility of positive self–information, only shown by narcissists, indicates that their desire for self–worth is hard to
fulfill. These findings continue to illuminate the distinction between narcissism and self–esteem.Receive more summaries like this by joining MDLinx. We provide free daily digests of top journal articles in your field. >> Click here to choose your specialties. |

Newson RS et al. ? Atherosclerosis does not appear to increase the risk of incident depression in older adults. These findings do not support the vascular depression
hypothesis and, alternatively, taking findings from prior studies into account, suggest either that depression contributes to vascular burden or that both result from an underlying
biological substrate. Methods

those of its comparators, and that pirlindole was significantly better in terms of reducing anxiety symptoms. However, the analysis of these results should take into account the quality of
the original included articles, which had a mean Jadad trial quality score of 3.7 (out of 5). Therefore, further clinical trials should be conducted to evaluate the benefits of
pirlindole.Receive more summaries like this by joining MDLinx. We provide free daily digests of top journal articles in your field. >> Click here to choose your specialties. |

Spadoni G et al. – Well–documented effects of agomelatine suggest that this MLT agonist offers an attractive alternative for the treatment of depression,
combining efficacy with a favorable side effect profile. Despite a large number of high affinity nonselective MLT receptor agonists, only limited data on MT1 or MT2 subtype–selective
compounds are available up to now. Administration of the MT2–selective agonist IIK7 to rats has proved to decrease NREM sleep onset latency, suggesting that MT2 receptor subtype is
involved in the acute sleep–promoting action of MLT; rigorous clinical studies are needed to demonstrate this hypothesis. Further clinical candidates based on selective activation of
MT1 or MT2 receptors are expected in coming years.Receive more summaries like this by joining MDLinx. We provide free daily digests of top journal articles in your field. >> Click here to choose your specialties. |
