Outcomes of long-acting injectable antipsychotics use in pregnancy: A literature review.

Background: Women with a history of serious psychotic disorders are at increased risk of disease relapse during pregnancy. Long-acting injectable (LAI) antipsychotics have been widely used to improve adherence and prevent relapse in patients with various severe psychotic disorders, but there is a lack of high-quality data from previous research on the safety of LAI antipsychotics during pregnancy.

Aim: To summarize relevant data on maternal, pregnancy, neonatal, and developmental outcomes from published cases of LAI antipsychotic use in pregnancy.

Meta-analysis of peripheral insulin-like growth factor 1 levels in schizophrenia.

Objective: We aimed to investigate if there is a significant difference in peripheral insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) levels between schizophrenia patients and healthy controls and to determine whether a difference exists before and after initiation of antipsychotics.

Methods: PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, and Web of Science were searched up to March 27, 2022. Original clinical studies of any type that reported peripheral blood, serum or plasma IGF-1 levels measured after fasting in schizophrenia patients and/or healthy control group were selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria.

Risk factors for potential drug-drug interactions in patients with myasthenia gravis.

Objectives: Our aim was to determine risk factors for and frequency of potential drug-drug interactions (pDDIs) among hospitalized patients with myasthenia gravis (MG).

Methods: This was a retrospective cross-sectional study of the-first time hospitalized MG patients or patients hospitalized because of the exacerbation of MG at the Neurology Clinic of the Clinical Center of Serbia, Belgrade. Medical records and discharge summaries of hospitalized MG patients over a 10-year period were reviewed.

Antimicrobial treatment of Corynebacterium striatum invasive infections: a systematic review.

The aim of this study was to establish an evidence-based guideline for the antibiotic treatment of Corynebacterium striatum infections. Several electronic databases were systematically searched for clinical trials, observational studies or individual cases on patients of any age and gender with systemic inflammatory response syndrome, harboring C. striatum isolated from body fluids or tissues in which it is not normally present.

A review of published cases of Stevens-Johnson syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis associated with the use of acetaminophen.

Purpose: Acetaminophen (paracetamol) is a widely used analgesic and antipyretic. In several studies, its use was associated with the occurrence of Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN). This narrative review aimed to explore and summarise available cases of SJS/TEN suspected to be associated with acetaminophen reported in the literature.

The effects of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors on male and female fertility: a brief literature review.

The aim of this review was to determine whether selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) affect the ability to conceive in men and women of reproductive age, as well as to find out whether there are certain differencies between them in terms of effects on fertility. Our review was based on systematic search of literature in four online databases: Medline (PubMed), Scopus, Web of Science and SCIndex (Serbian Citation Index). Several clinical studies reported that SSRIs can decrease the number and viability of sperm, and cause a disruption of their morphological structure.
