Interventions to Improve Metabolic Risk Screening Among Children and Adolescents on Antipsychotic Medication: A Systematic Review.

Antipsychotic use among youth is common and is associated with metabolic side effects such as weight gain. Guidelines recommend periodic screening of metabolic measures in youth prescribed antipsychotics; however, a guideline-to-practice gap exists. We systematically reviewed the literature to synthesize the knowledge from interventions that aim to improve antipsychotic metabolic screening.

Interventions to Improve Metabolic Risk Screening Among Adult Patients Taking Antipsychotic Medication: A Systematic Review.

Objective: Antipsychotic use is associated with elevated cardiometabolic risk.

This review systematically assessed interventions that address this guideline-to-practice gap and described their quality, improvement strategies, and effect on screening rates.

Antidepressant foods: An evidence-based nutrient profiling system for depression.

Aim: To investigate which foods are the most nutrient dense sources of nutrients demonstrated by the scientific literature to play a role in the prevention and promotion of recovery from depressive disorders.

Methods: A systematic literature review was conducted to derive a list of Antidepressant Nutrients from the 34 nutrients known to be essential for humans using level of evidence criteria. Nutritional data was extracted for a subset of foods with a high content of at least 1 Antidepressant Nutrient using a USDA database.

Biomarkers of gluten sensitivity in patients with non-affective psychosis: a meta-analysis.

Background: Dohan first proposed that there may be an association between gluten sensitivity and schizophrenia in the 1950s. Since then, this association has been measured using several different serum biomarkers of gluten sensitivity. At this point, it is unclear which serum biomarkers of gluten sensitivity are elevated in patients with schizophrenia.
