As such, primary objective this research to establish if psychological...
Antipsychotic medication, stress, gender, and age are factors that influence prolactin levels in patients with psychosis. The aim of the study was to investigate level response antipsychotic treatment acute patients, taking into account total duration psychosis.The conducted on 170 schizophrenia spectrum disorders bipolar disorder. Subjects were divided three subgroups according psychosis (less than 5 years, between 10 years more disorder duration). initial under measured, while severity...
This study aimed to assess the serum levels of intracellular adhesion molecule (sICAM-1), and vascular cell (sVCAM-1), in first psychotic episode schizophrenia (SZ) patients, before after six months antipsychotic treatment.The included 50 patients with a hospitalization for SZ healthy control subjects that were patient-matched regarding age, gender, body mass index smoking status. The evaluation presence cardiovascular risk factors, measurements systolic diastolic blood pressure, index,...
Rational use of medications and monitoring prescriptions in elderly patients is important to decrease the number duration hospitalizations, emergency medical consultations, mortality, as well costs.To identify potentially inappropriate (PIMs) potential prescription omissions (PPOs), determine their prevalence based on Screening Tool Older Persons' Prescriptions (STOPP) v2 criteria Alert doctors Right Treatment (START) for aged >65 years.This cross-sectional study was conducted two rural...
Abstract Background and Hypothesis Meta-analyses have shown that the majority of patients with schizophrenia who not improved after 2 weeks treatment an antipsychotic drug are unlikely to fully respond later. We hypothesized switching another a different receptor binding profile is effective strategy in such situation. Study Design In total, 327 inpatients acute exacerbation were randomized double-blind either olanzapine (5–20 mg/day) or amisulpride (200–800 mg/day). Those had reached at...

Methods This included 214 consecutive admitted at clinic, Country Clinical Emergency Hospital in Timisoara, Romania, between 30.06.2011 12.01.2012. laboratory investigations were performed these hospitalized patients, including serologic tests for IgG IgM...
Caudate nucleus (CN) is a specialized part of the dorsal striatum each brain hemisphere involved in numerous cognitive processes. dysfunctions are associated with Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and Huntington's disease, autism, even schizophrenia. Most studies upon CN related diseases were conducted using neuroimaging techniques, which, some instances have reached contradictory conclusions. This state-of-the-art technique triggered development methods able to provide information at molecular...
Treatment resistance requires higher doses and polypharmacy, thus increasing the risk of side effects drug interactions.The objectives study were to identify factors predicting medication choice, dose adjustments augmentation.The included patients treated with long acting injectable (LAI) antipsychotics distributed into three samples: low, middle high dosage groups (LDG/MDG/HDG).We analysed socio-demographics clinical data (age at disorder onset, total duration psychosis, pre-LAI LAI...
Literature shows that patients taking antipsychotic medication risk developing metabolic complications.The study aims to compare the presence of syndrome (MS) and its components in outpatients treated with long acting injectable (LAI) olanzapine risperidone.A double-center was performed on psychosis, which were divided into two samples: one another risperidone.The following data analyzed: age, gender, severity psychiatric symptoms, blood pressure, waist circumference, fasting glucose, lipid...
Targeting of the phenomena which arises when electric current is passing through human body leads to definition some equivalent circuits. The parameters segment skin were studied. For this, an original measuring device was conceived and built using a digital control unit based on PIC16F870 microcontroller.
Pharmacogenetic markers are current targets for the personalized treatment of psychosis. Limited data exist on COMT and NRG1 polymorphisms in relation to risperidone treatment. This study focuses impact rs4680 (rs35753505, rs3924999) schizophrenia spectrum disorders (SSDs). included 103 subjects with SSD treated monotherapy. rs4680, rs35753505, rs3924999 were analyzed by RT-PCR. Participants evaluated via Positive Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) after six weeks. Socio-demographic clinical...

Employing WHOQOL-BREF instrument, research hypothesized that AUD would show significantly lower QoL scores across its...
The manipulators, used to handling products or devices in industrial departments, needs be self-balanced order compensate the different weight of load its position workspace. known technical solution for self-balancing with counterweight, springs and actuators can substituted through a band mechanism. paper proposed new conco-balancer manipulator mechanism presents synthesis approach. non-circular profile permits variation compensated moment easy manipulated by operator.
The aim of this study was to develop a method for identification and quantification diazepam its major metabolite, desmethyldiazepam in plasma samples psychiatric patients. Liquid - liquid extraction (LLE) procedure applied order simplify the pre-analytical phase, followed by gas chromatography � mass spectrometry (GC-MS) detection flame ionization (GC-FID) quantitation.
