Typical and atypical antipsychotics--the misleading dichotomy. Results from the Working Group 'Drugs in Psychiatry' (AGATE).

Objectives: (1) To investigate the risk of extrapyramidal motor side effects (EPS) associated with the prescription of different antipsychotics under naturalistic treatment conditions; (2) to test the rationale of the terms 'typical' and 'atypical' based on EPS rates.

Design: Cross-sectional study in the federal state of Bavaria.

Setting: 20 psychiatric hospitals in Bavaria.

[Diurnal variation of pain perception and heart rate in the human tourniquet pain model in healthy volunteers].

The diurnal variation of pain threshold was studied in 13 healthy volunteers (age: 21 - 27 ys) using the tourniquet pain model. A tourniquet was inflated above systolic blood pressure for 1 minute and pain scores and heart rate were recorded at 0.5, 1.
