Background: Two jewel beetle species native to Europe, the cypress jewel beetle, (, ) L. (Buprestidae, Coleoptera), and the sinuate pear tree borer, Olivier (Buprestidae, Coleoptera), are key pests of ornamental thuja and junipers and of orchard and ornamental rosaceous trees, respectively. Although chemical control measures are available, due to the beetles' small size, agility, and cryptic lifestyle at the larval stage, efficient tools for their detection and monitoring are missing.

Article Synopsis
  • In a study analyzing treatment interruptions in psoriasis patients, some individuals continued to experience positive outcomes even after halting their medication.
  • Following a 12-week treatment with ixekizumab, patients who showed significant improvement had varying times before losing their treatment response when switched to placebo, with median times of 16.1 weeks for substantial improvement and 12.1 weeks for complete improvement.
  • A minority of patients maintained their high levels of disease control long after treatment discontinuation, suggesting that not all patients will immediately lose effectiveness of previously successful treatments.

Background: The objective of the present analysis is to determine the impact of the 3-hour observation period for olanzapine long-acting injection (LAI) on patient satisfaction and well-being by comparing data collected before and after its implementation.

Methods: This is a post hoc analysis of patients treated with olanzapine LAI in 1) a 6-month fixed-dose randomized controlled trial and/or 2) a 6-year open-label safety study. This analysis was limited to patients with schizophrenia who were treated with olanzapine LAI consistent with the approved indication and dosing recommendations of the European Union Summary of Product Characteristics (N=966).

Purpose: To assess the long-term efficacy and safety of olanzapine long-acting injection (LAI) in the treatment of schizophrenia, focusing on clinical trial data consistent with the approved indication and dosing recommendations in the European label and which forms the basis for treatment decisions made by clinicians in daily clinical practice.

Patients And Methods: This was a post hoc analysis of a 6-year open-label study of olanzapine LAI in patients (male or female, 18-75 years old) with schizophrenia entering this study following feeder studies of olanzapine LAI. Patients were flexibly dosed (45-405 mg, 2- to 4-week intervals), but those receiving oral olanzapine supplementation whose total olanzapine dose was >20 mg/day equivalent were excluded from this post hoc analysis.

The International Schizophrenia Outpatient Health Outcomes study, IC-SOHO is a three-year international observational study that investigates clinical and health outcomes of antipsychotic treatments. 7658 outpatients treated for schizophrenia were enrolled in the study, who needed an antipsychotic therapy to initiate or switch. The primary analysis compared the group taking olanzapine with the group taking any other antipsychotics, while the secondary comparison was performed between those treated with olanzapine and those with risperidone.
