From the third Swiss Health Survey, gender prevalence of psychotropic and anti-pain drugs uses are described. Age differences are added to gender differences. In particular for aging populations, psychotropic drugs are prescribed by compassion. Results suggest medical doctors as prescriptors attribute a large impact to psychological suffering coming from physical illness and incapacities linked to age. Analysis of drug uses allows fruitful interpretation of the patient-doctor relationship by gender and age.

EMC chaperone-Ca structure reveals an ion channel assembly intermediate.

Voltage-gated ion channels (VGICs) comprise multiple structural units, the assembly of which is required for function. Structural understanding of how VGIC subunits assemble and whether chaperone proteins are required is lacking. High-voltage-activated calcium channels (Cas) are paradigmatic multisubunit VGICs whose function and trafficking are powerfully shaped by interactions between pore-forming Ca1 or Ca2 Caα (ref.

Carbamazepine (CBZ), an anticonvulsant with psychotropic and anti-pain properties, has been reported to displace ligands at adenosine binding sites. This paper describes biochemical and behavioural studies in rodents comparing CBZ to the adenosine agonists L-phenylisopropyl-adenosine (L-PIA) and N-ethylcarboxamido-adenosine (NECA), the new antagonists PD116,948 and PD115,199 which are also relatively A1 and A2 specific respectively, and the mixed antagonists theophylline and caffeine, attempting to determine functional correlates of the binding studies. Changes in cAMP synthesis and behavioural syndromes produced by the drugs, alone and in combination, were monitored.

Using the classification of psychotropic drugs made by Delay and Deniker, the author analyses the practical applications of some psycholeptics, some psychoanaleptics, and even some psychodysleptics in anti-pain therapeutics. The analysis of some statistics on the frequency of pain in different patient samples, from general medicine as well as from psychiatry, helps to comment upon the great advance implied by the psychopharmacological revolution.
