The Role of Ondansetron in the Treatment of Schizophrenia (>> click to go to the journal's website)Annals of Pharmacotherapy, 06/04/10
Bennett AC et al. – Ondansetron may be effective as an adjunct to antipsychotics for the treatment of schizophrenia, specifically negative symptoms, as assessed with
PANSS. Due to the variation in concurrent therapies and dosing regimens, it is difficult to establish an optimal dose from the reviewed trials. Further large, randomized,
double–blind, active–controlled studies would be helpful in determining the role of ondansetron in the treatment of schizophrenia.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. |

Kessing LV et al. ? The objective of this study was to investigate and characterise the incidence of diabetes for people treated with antipsychotic medication in clinical
practice. In clinical practice, treatment with first- and second-generation antipsychotics is associated with an increased risk of developing incident diabetes with large differences
between individual drugs. The risk increases with the duration of treatment and with polypharmacy of antipsychotic drugs. Methods

Mitchell SL et al. – Pneumonia, febrile episodes, and eating problems are frequent complications in patients with advanced dementia, and these complications are

The relational turn in psychoanalysis: revolution or regression (>> click to go to the journal's website)European Journal of Psychotherapy, Counselling & Health, 11/03/10
Carmeli Z et al. – The authors discuss the Relational turn in psychoanalysis that has supposedly taken place in the course of the past 25 years. They spell out the
foundational claims of the Relational group and its view that it has revolutionized psychoanalysis by bringing its relational potential to fruition. After clarifying these Relational views,
the authors explain why they think that the change introduced is misguided and not as revolutionary as it appears. The authors argue that counter to its self–perception, the
relational group in fact reverts to a pre–analytic conception of the person and to an authoritarian stance in relation to the patient.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. |

Predictors of switching antipsychotic medications in the treatment of schizophrenia (>> click to go to the journal's website)BMC Psychiatry, 10/06/10
Nyhuis AW et al. – Switching antipsychotics appears to be prevalent in the naturalistic treatment of schizophrenia and can be predicted by a small and distinct set of
variables. Interestingly, worsening of anxiety and depressive symptoms and of akathisia following 2 weeks of treatment were among the more robust predictors of subsequent switching of
antipsychotics.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. |
