Article Abstract

The paper is concerned with a study of the effectiveness of lysenyl-forte (Hemapol, Czechoslovakia) and methergoline (Carlo Erba, Italy) for therapy of patients with different types of hyperprolactinemic hypogonadism. Altogether 49 patients were investigated, of them 33 received lysenyl-forte at a dose of 0.6 mg/day and 16-methergoline at a dose of 12 mg/day for 3 months. A degree of galactorrhea, a menstrual cycle and the blood level of prolactin were assessed before and after therapy. A prolactin inhibiting effect of both drugs comparable with that of bromocriptine was noted. However a clinical effect and good tolerance were more frequently observed in this sampling in lysenyl therapy.

Severe forms of vascular malformations (VM) can highly impact patients' quality of life and lead to life-threatening organ dysfunction. Numerous VM are caused by somatic activating mutations in the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signalling pathway. Alpelisib, a PIK3CA inhibitor was recently FDA-approved for paediatric PIK3CA-related overgrowth syndrome (PROS).

Neural cue reactivity and intrinsic functional connectivity in individuals with alcohol use disorder following treatment with topiramate or naltrexone.

Psychopharmacology (Berl)

January 2025

Edith Collins Centre for Translational Research in Alcohol, Drugs and Toxicology, Royal Prince Alfred Hospital, Sydney Local Health District, Sydney, NSW, Australia.

Rationale: Both topiramate and naltrexone have been shown to affect neural alcohol cue reactivity in alcohol use disorder (AUD). However, their comparative effects on alcohol cue reactivity are unknown. Moreover, while naltrexone has been found to normalize hyperactive localized network connectivity implicated in AUD, no studies have examined the effect of topiramate on intrinsic functional connectivity or compared functional connectivity between these two widely used medications.

Background: Schizophrenia is a complex psychiatric disorder, and in patients treated with clozapine, it may induce or exacerbate obsessive-compulsive symptoms (OCS), which negatively affect patients' quality of life, functionality and treatment adherence. Despite its clinical relevance, the reported prevalence and characteristics of clozapine associated OCS vary widely, limiting effective management.

Objective: This scoping review synthesizes evidence on the prevalence of OCS in patients with schizophrenia treated with clozapine and explores treatment characteristics (types, severity, dose, and time to onset/exacerbation).
