Background: The 'off-label' effect of alprazolam on depression has not been systematically evaluated.
Objectives: To determine the antidepressant effect, including tolerability and acceptability, of alprazolam as monotherapy for major depression, when compared to placebo and conventional antidepressants in outpatients and patients in primary care.
Search Methods: We searched the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials and the Cochrane Depression, Anxiety and Neurosis Group Register, which includes relevant randomised controlled trials from the following bibliographic databases: The Cochrane Library (all years to February 2012); EMBASE (1970 to February 2012); MEDLINE (1950 to February 2012) and PsycINFO (1960 to February 2012).
Purpose: To evaluate long-term results of stomach-conserving therapy and to assess the value of histological probable minimal residual disease (pMRD) in predicting outcome in patients with gastric MALT lymphoma.
Materials And Methods: We studied 115 patients with stage I-II(2) gastric MALT lymphoma treated between 1975 and 2002. Initially, first-line treatment consisted of radiotherapy only.
