Psychiatric Deprescribing: A Narrative Review.

Objective: Psychiatric deprescribing is an intervention where psychiatric medications are reduced or discontinued with the goal to improve health and reduce unnecessary risks. The purpose of this study was to synthesize the literature related to psychiatric deprescribing to discuss practice and research implications.

Methods: A structured search of the literature was conducted from May to September 2022, yielding 29 articles meeting inclusion criteria.

Diet Quality Is an Indicator of Disease Risk Factors in Hispanic College Freshmen.

Background: No studies have assessed the relationship between diet quality, using the Healthy Eating Index (HEI), and adiposity, physical activity, and metabolic disease risk factors in a Hispanic college population.

Objective: To assess associations between diet quality and adiposity, metabolic health, and physical activity levels in a Hispanic college freshman population.

Design: This was a cross-sectional study.

Decreased eating frequency linked to increased visceral adipose tissue, body fat, and BMI in Hispanic college freshmen.

Background: To investigate the relationship between eating frequency and specific adiposity markers in a potentially high-risk and understudied population of Hispanic college freshmen.

Methods: This study included 92 Hispanic college freshmen (18-19 y). The following cross-sectional data were collected: height, weight, waist circumference, body mass index (BMI), dietary intake, body composition, physical activity, hepatic fat, visceral adipose tissue (VAT), and subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT).

[Interest of a sterilised anti-burning gel in radiation dermatitis: results of a comparative study].

Trial objectives were to assess effectiveness and tolerance of sterilized Avène thermal spring water anti burning gel (ATSW gel) in prevention of radiation dermatitis in adults irradiated (6 weeks) for breast (n=61) or head and neck (n=8) cancer. Patients included in this open labelled, 2 parallel groups, multicentric study, were randomly assigned to apply five times daily for ten weeks either the Avène spring water gel (n=35) or trolamine cream (n=34). The median of emergence of the first objective radiation dermatitis signs was 31 days in the ATSW gel group and 29 days in the control group (p=0,924).

Evaluation of residual and therapeutic doses of tetracycline in the human-flora-associated (HFA) mice model.

In order to evaluate an in vivo model system for assessing the effect of therapeutic and residue levels of tetracycline on human intestinal microflora, tetracycline was administered via drinking water (1, 10, and 100 mg/liter) to human-flora-associated (HFA) male and female mice. The effects of the antibiotic on fecal aerobic and anaerobic populations, selection of bacteria resistant to tetracycline, metabolic parameters of the microflora, and maintenance of the intestinal barrier against exogenous Salmonella (resistance to colonization) were recorded. In both sexes of mice, tetracycline exposure at 10 and 100 mg/liter induced the selection of several resistant bacterial species (Gram-positive anaerobes, Bacteroides fragilis, enterobacteria, and enterococci).
