Gut microbial dysbiosis or altered gut microbial consortium, in schizophrenia suggests a pathogenic role through the gut-brain axis, influencing neuroinflammatory and neurotransmitter pathways critical to psychotic, affective, and cognitive symptoms. Paradoxically, conventional psychotropic interventions may exacerbate this dysbiosis, with antipsychotics, particularly olanzapine, demonstrating profound effects on microbial architecture through disruption of bacterial phyla ratios, diminished taxonomic diversity, and attenuated short-chain fatty acid synthesis. To address these challenges, novel therapeutic strategies targeting the gut microbiome, encompassing probiotic supplementation, prebiotic compounds, faecal microbiota transplantation, and rationalised co-pharmacotherapy, show promise in attenuating antipsychotic-induced metabolic disruptions while enhancing therapeutic efficacy.

Introduction: International guidelines make recommendations for the delivery of safe, high-quality primary care for people with dementia including prescribing, personalised care planning and regular holistic reviews. It is unclear how the quality and safety of this healthcare varies with socio-economic factors.

Objective: This scoping review aimed to understand the depth and breadth of existing evidence exploring socio-economic variation in the quality and safety of primary care for people with dementia.

Purpose: This study investigates the potential association between commonly prescribed psychotropic medications, such as Atypical Antipsychotics (AAs), Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs), and Serotonin Norepinephrine Reuptake Inhibitors (SNRIs), and congenital anomalies in newborns. The analysis uses data from the Food and Drug Administration Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS).

Methods: Spontaneously reported cases of congenital anomalies in newborns (under 28 days old) were extracted from the FAERS database, covering January 2004 to June 2023.

Background: Evenamide, a glutamate modulator, is currently in phase 3 of development as add-on treatment to antipsychotics in patients with inadequate response or treatment-resistant schizophrenia. This study was designed to determine if patients with chronic schizophrenia inadequately responding to a second-generation antipsychotic would benefit from add-on treatment with evenamide at a dose of 30 mg bid.

Methods: Study 008A was a prospective, 4-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study evaluating the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of oral doses of evenamide of 30 mg bid in patients with chronic schizophrenia treated at stable therapeutic doses of a second-generation antipsychotic.
