[TREATMENT OF SEROTONIN AND NOREPINEPHRINE REUPTAKE INHIBITORS (SSRIS AND SNRIS) DURING PREGNANCY AND LACTATION].

Women are more likely to develop depression during the perinatal period than at any other time in their lives. Studies from recent years raise significant concerns regarding the potential of a depressive disorder in the pregnant mother to cause adverse obstetric results for the mother and the newborn. As antidepressants can penetrate the placenta to different degrees, concern has been raised regarding their teratogenic potential.

[STIGMA AND MISINFORMATION ABOUT METHADONE MAINTENANCE THERAPY].

Opioids play a key role in managing acute and chronic pain, but at the same time, opioid abuse is a socio-economic and health problem that has been expanding over the past three decades, causing a high rate of morbidity and mortality. Methadone maintenance therapy is the most effective treatment choice (combined with psychosocial therapy) for opioid addiction. However, only a small proportion of people with opioid addiction turn to this treatment.

Ocular side effects of novel anti-cancer biological therapies.

To examine the ocular side effects of selected biological anti-cancer therapies and the ocular and systemic prognosis of patients receiving them. We retrospectively reviewed all medical records of patients who received biological anti-cancer treatment from 1/2012 to 12/2017 and who were treated at our ocular oncology service. The following data was retrieved: primary malignancy, metastasis, type of biological therapy, ocular side effects, ophthalmic treatment, non-ocular side effects, and ocular and systemic disease prognoses.

The Relation between Changes in Vitamin D and Vitamin B12 Levels, Body Mass Index and Outcome in Methadone Maintenance Treatment Patients.

Patients' Body Mass Index (BMI) increase during methadone maintenance treatment (MMT), and both Vitamins D and B12 deficiencies may be associated with BMI. We studied the relations between BMI, these vitamins and treatment outcome in patients with opioid use disorder receiving MMT. Vitamin B12 levels were available for 272 patients and Vitamin D levels were available for 260 patients.

Incidence of typically Severe Primary Immunodeficiency Diseases in Consanguineous and Non-consanguineous Populations.

Purpose: Primary immunodeficiency diseases are considered to be rare diseases; however, data on the exact birth incidences of these diseases are sparse. Southern Israel is inhabited by two major populations: a relatively non-consanguineous Jewish population and a highly consanguineous Muslim Bedouin population. We sought to calculate the incidences of typically severe primary immunodeficiency diseases and compare the incidences in these populations.
