Background: Approximately 15-25% of depressed patients suffer from difficult-to-treat depression (DTD). Patients with DTD require a thorough examination to avoid the oversight of treatable (psychiatric/somatic) comorbidities or (pseudo-)resistance to antidepressant drugs (ADs). Polymorphisms of the cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes 2D6 and 2C19, which play a major role in the metabolism of ADs, may contribute to resistance to ADs.

Scabies in infants and children - a narrative review.

Eur J Pediatr

June 2024

Department of Dermatology and Allergology, Städtisches Klinikum Dresden, Academic Teaching Hospital of the Technical University of Dresden, Friedrichstrasse 41, 01067, Dresden, Germany.

Article Synopsis
  • Scabies is a widespread skin condition caused by a mite, affecting around 300 million people globally, with infants and children being the most affected.
  • *The primary symptom is intense itching, leading to complications like bacterial infections, and diagnosis is typically done through clinical examination and skin scraping.
  • *Topical permethrin is the preferred treatment, with ivermectin as an oral option for resistant cases, while social factors like poverty and recent events like the COVID-19 pandemic have further increased scabies incidence.

[Treatment resistance in anxiety disorders-Definition and treatment options].

Nervenarzt

May 2024

Fachbereich Psychosomatische Medizin, Kompetenzschwerpunkt Angst, kbo-Inn-Salzach-Klinikum, Wasserburg am Inn, Deutschland.

Treatment resistance in anxiety disorders represents a clinical challenge, contributes to the chronicity of the diseases as well as sequential comorbidities, and is associated with a significant individual and socioeconomic burden. This narrative review presents the operational definition of treatment resistance in anxiety disorders according to international consensus criteria (< 50% reduction in the Hamilton Anxiety Scale, HAM‑A, score or < 50% reduction in the Beck Anxiety Inventory, BAI, score or a clinical global impression-improvement, CGI‑I, score > 2). At least two unsuccessful guideline-based treatment attempts with pharmacological monotherapy or at least one unsuccessful treatment attempt with adequately delivered cognitive behavioral therapy are required.

[Management of treatment resistance-Treatment-resistant schizophrenia].

Nervenarzt

May 2024

Klinik für Psychiatrie, Psychotherapie und Psychosomatik, Medizinische Fakultät, Universität Augsburg, Augsburg, Deutschland.

Despite a very high prevalence and substantial impairments among affected individuals, treatment-resistant schizophrenia (TRS) has not been sufficiently researched in clinical research in the field of psychiatric disorders and the pathophysiology is still poorly understood. A better clinical and pathophysiological understanding of this heterogeneous and severely affected population of people with persistent symptoms in different domains is necessary in order not only to be able to intervene early but also to develop novel therapeutic strategies or individualized treatment approaches. This review article presents the state of the art criteria of the pharmacological TRS, neurobiological disease models and predictive factors for TRS as well as the phenomenon of pseudo-treatment resistance and the clinical management of TRS.
