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).

Nutritional and herbal supplements for anxiety and anxiety-related disorders: systematic review (>> click to go to the journal's website)Nutrition Journal, 10/08/10
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. |

Soft drinks, sweetened beverages and risk of pancreatic cancer (>> click to go to the journal's website)Cancer Causes and Control, 11/16/10
Gallus S et al. – Soft drinks usually contain sugar and caffeine that might influence pancreatic carcinogenesis. Authors considered the association between
carbonated drink consumption and pancreatic cancer risk in an Italian case?control study conducted in 1991?2008 on 326 pancreatic cancer cases and 652 matched controls. Authors also
combined the results from all the studies on soft drinks or sweetened beverages and pancreatic cancer published before June 2010, using a meta–analytic approach. The pooled RRs for
heavy drinkers were 1.08 for case?control, 1.21 for cohort, and 1.16 for all studies. Soft drink consumption is not materially related to pancreatic cancer risk.Receive more summaries like this by joining MDLinx.

Milnacipran: 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. |

Treatment of Chronic Migraine (>> click to go to the journal's website)Current Pain and Headache Reports, 11/22/10
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.
