Introduction: Adverse events (AEs) monitoring of mood stabilizers (MS) is essential during the treatment of mood disorders as safety and tolerability profiles of MS may greatly influence treatment adherence, patient's compliance, and discontinuation rate. Therefore, clinicians should be aware of their AEs profile and tapering a variety of strategies to manage them, according to an evidence-based approach.
Areas Covered: We aimed at critically summarizing the tolerability and safety profile for each nonantipsychotic MS, providing evidence-based strategies able to manage these AEs, in order to increase clinically useful strategies which may allow clinicians enhancing adherence and therapeutic compliance, the impact on quality of life and treatment efficacy in psychiatric conditions.
Expert Opinion: The management of the safety and tolerability profile of each MS comprises an initial assessment of the symptoms/signs to be observed/measured during the therapy, including a psychoeducational activity, a periodical monitoring with a specific timing depending on clinical parameters and each prescribed MS, but also an evaluation if a treatment modification (in terms of dose adjustment, discontinuation or additional medication to be prescribed) is required as well as which combination therapy is allowed and which caution should be posed by clinicians in some special conditions, including pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Variations in pelvic tilt between relaxed-seated and flexed-seated positions affect stability assessment in 3D modelling in total hip replacement.

Background: The spinopelvic axis is becoming recognized as an essential contributor to impingement and instability leading to dislocation. Computer-assisted hip surgery uses standing and relaxed-seated radiographs as a surrogate marker of pelvic tilt in all seated positions. However, the flexed-seated position is a high-risk position for dislocation, and the standing and relaxed-seated radiographs may not reflect this risk.

DNA nanotechnology represents an innovative discipline that combines nanotechnology with biotechnology. It exploits the distinctive characteristics of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) to create nanoscale structures and devices with remarkable accuracy and functionality. Researchers may create complex nanostructures with precision and specialized functions using DNA's innate stability, adaptability, and capacity to self-assemble through complementary base-pairing interactions.

Dry heat treatment (DHT) is considered a green technology to modify starch structure and functionality since it does not generate effluents and avoids the use of chemical compounds, however, there is still no comprehensive understanding of the effects and mechanisms on the multi-scale structure and their relationship with functionality. This paper reviewed and analyzed the effects of DHT on multi-scale starch structures and functional properties, compared the performance of continuous and repeated DHT, discussed a mechanism of starch dry heating, and summarized the applications of dry-heated starches. DHT evaporates water, accelerates the movement of starch molecules, and breaks hydrogen bonds, which changes the multi-scale structure.

Background: While brief behavioral therapy for insomnia (BBTI) has shown promising results in improving sleep outcomes, its effects on health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and mental health among cancer survivors have been understudied.
Purpose: To evaluate the effect of BBTI on HRQOL and mental health outcomes among cancer survivors, relative to an attention control group receiving a healthy eating program (HEP), over periods from baseline to 12 months and from 3 to 12 months.
Methods: A sample of 132 cancer survivors with insomnia symptoms (Mage: 63.
Challenges for switching central nervous system and psychiatric medication products: A review of the literature.
J Psychopharmacol
January 2025
Department of Psychiatry, McGill University, Montreal, QC, Canada.
Background: Switching between versions of medication products happens commonly despite challenges in achieving bioequivalence and therapeutic equivalence. Central nervous system and psychiatric drugs, especially those that are technically demanding to manufacture and have complex pharmacokinetic properties, such as long-acting injectables (LAIs), pose particular challenges to bioequivalence and safe and efficacious drug switching.
Aims: To assess whether drugs deemed "bioequivalent" are truly interchangeable in drug switching.
