Ten narcoleptic patients were treated daily with Mazindol 2-6 mg for 42.2 months (31-63 months). The response was excellent on narcoleptic attacks in 6 and on cataplexy in 7 cases. However, the nocturnal sleep disturbance persisted unchanged. The improvement was poor in 1 case and inexistant in 1 subject. Minor side effects (dry mouth) occurred in 3 cases, and urinary retention obliged to stop the medication in 2 cases.

The use of psychoactive substances has been associated with increased risk for traffic accidents. Hair testing has become a routine practice in clinical and forensic toxicological laboratories, with a unique perspective in the investigation of drug consumption. The study aimed to develop and validate a UHPLC-MS/MS method for the determination of multiple drugs in hair, to be used for toxicological examination in driving license granting.

The aim of this study was to evaluate efficacy and safety of amfepramone, fenproporex and mazindol as a monotherapy for the treatment of obese or overweight patients. A systematic review of primary studies was conducted, followed by a direct meta-analysis (random effect) and mixed treatment comparison. Medline and other databases were searched.

Introduction: Most radiotracers for imaging of cardiac sympathetic innervation are substrates of the norepinephrine transporter (NET). The goal of this study was to characterize the NET transport kinetics and binding affinities of several sympathetic nerve radiotracers, including [(11)C]-(-)-meta-hydroxyephedrine, [(11)C]-(-)-epinephrine, and a series of [(11)C]-labeled phenethylguanidines under development in our laboratory. For comparison, the NET transport kinetics and binding affinities of some [(3)H]-labeled biogenic amines were also determined.
