Culty in effectively selecting a substantial number of treatment-refractory patients is borne out in the report's results: 65% to 67% response rates after 8 weeks of treatment are consistent with treatment response in an unselected, rather than a treatment-refractory, group. In the Kane et al. study, only 30% of the patients responded after 6 weeks. Second, clozapine dosing appears to have been rather conservative, given that mean concentrations in the nonresponder group were 292 ng ml. There is evidence that treatment-refractory patients may need concentrations over 350 ng ml 1 ; order to derive benefit from clozapine treatment. Thus, more patients may have responded to clozapine had they been given higher doses. Third, it has been suggested that response to clozapine may be delayed 6 months or longer after a therapeutic dose is achieved 2 ; . Therefore, a longer observation period may have yielded further responses to clozapine treatment of potential significance for this study, especially had the dose been titrated upward in unimproved patients. We agree with the authors that long-term, comparative trials between risperidone and clozapine, as well as olanzapine and quetiapine, in more homogeneous patient groups are needed. We also think that the previously mentioned limitations to their study preclude extending their conclusions to treatment-refractory schizophrenic patients. Definitive trials are needed to establish risperidone's efficacy with treatmentrefractory schizophrenia.
LD quetiapine in patients enrolled in a commercial, Medicare, and Medicaid managed care organization. METHODS: Pharmacy claims data were analyzed from January 1, 2005, through March 31, 2005, to identify patients receiving LD quetiapine. Prescribing physicians were then faxed a standardized survey to evaluate indication for LD quetiapine use. The primary objective was to assess indications for LD quetiapine use. The secondary objective was to educate prescribers regarding the appropriate use of LD quetiapine. Data were stored in an Access database and assessed using descriptive statistics. RESULTS: A total of 3, 055 members had a paid claim for quetiapine. Of those, 82% n 2526 ; were Medicaid members. 1, 084 members 35% ; received a prescription for LD quetiapine. The majority of LD quetiapine recipients 76% ; were Medicaid members, followed by commercial 21% ; and Medicare 3% ; . Of the LD quetiapine claims, 345 prescribers were identified, and 1, 322 patient-specific surveys were prepared. However, 222 surveys could not be sent because of insufficient contact information, reducing the total number to 1, 100. 542 surveys were returned 49% response rate ; . The top 5 indications for use were: other n 200 ; , anxiety n 153 ; , insomnia n 149 ; , bipolar mania n 127 ; , and agitation n 119 ; . "Other" includes any diagnosis excluding insomnia, anxiety, bipolar mania, agitation, schizophrenia, psychosis not otherwise specified. A follow-up mailing containing survey results and prescriber information was sent to all participating physicians to increase awareness and education. CONCLUSION: The utilization of LD quetiapine is common for off-label indications, particularly as a hypnotic or anxiolytic. Prescriber education was provided through survey results and information on appropriate use of quetiapine. Future interventions include intensive educational outreach to high physician utilizers to influence prescribing pattern, and cost analysis. ss MODELED ACHIEVEMENT OF OPTIMAL LIPID VALUES WITH EXTENDED-RELEASE NIACIN LOVASTATIN IN ELDERLY PATIENTS BY CENTERS FOR MEDICARE AND MEDICAID SERVICES DIAGNOSIS CLUSTERS Charland SL. * Kos Pharmaceuticals, Inc., 1 Cedar Brook Dr., Cranbury, NJ 08512; scharland kospharm INTRODUCTION: As Medicare Part D is enacted, therapy decision makers will require information about specific medication use in the elderly within new Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services CMS ; diagnosis clusters.

Suppress cyclical hemorrhage 3 ; . Results of clinical studies have suggested that MR imaging may be useful in assessing therapeutic response to medical management, thereby limiting the necessity for repeat laparoscopy 14 ; . The demonstration of a further decrease in signal intensity on T2-weighted images in response to gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogues may correlate with a good response to medical therapy 15 ; . Results of another study suggested that larger endometriotic cysts that initially showed the shading sign were less likely to respond to medical treatment 8 ; . It was proposed that more pronounced shading on T2-weighted images resulted from the presence of more concentrated blood products in older endometriomas. These cysts may have obliterated their glandular lining by means of internal pressure, and, thus, would not respond to hormone manipulation 8 ; . In summary, endometriosis is a common condition in women of childbearing age that may result in pelvic pain and infertility. The shading sign is an MR imaging feature of endometriosis that increases diagnostic specificity. Recognition of this sign may yield an earlier accurate diagnosis and aid in minimization of pelvic pain and optimization of fertility and quinine, for example, quetiapine tardive.

Approved weight loss agents are generally poorly tolerated in neuropsychiatric patients e.g., due to events like activation, insomnia, and hallucinations ; , and initial efforts to identify tolerable augmentation strategies designed to attenuate the weight gain associated with atypical antipsychotics have been disappointing. Poyurovsky, Pashinian et al. 2002 Jun ; Olanzapine induces clinically significant increases in short- and long-term weight gain. A comparative study of antipsychotic weight gain at 10 weeks of treatment showed a mean weight gain of 4.15 kg 9.15 lbs ; with olanzapine, vs. 4.45 kg 9.81 lbs ; with clozapine. Blin 1999 ; Within the first three months of treatment, weight increases approximate a mean of 4 kg 8.8 lbs ; . Allison, Mentore et al. 1999 Nov ; Mean increases during 6-12 months of treatment with olanzapine or clozapine have been reported in the range of 14-26.4 lbs, with a mean of over 10 kg 22 lbs ; at 12 months with olanzapine at 15mg day, and individual patients experiencing 50-100 lb. increases. U.S. package insert data show that 29% of patients taking olanzapine for 6 weeks vs. 3% of placebo controls ; , and 56% of patients taking olanzapine long-term, gain greater than 7% of their baseline weight. Although risperidone can produce more weight gain than some high potency conventional agents and more than ziprasidone and aripiprazole, it produces relatively less short term weight gain than olanzapine and clozapine, Penn, Martini et al. 1996 Jun ; ranging from 3 to 5 lbs over the first 10 weeks of treatment. Marder and Meibach 1994 Jun; Masand 1998; Ganguli 1999; Allison, Mentore et al. 1999 Nov ; In a 6 month comparison, Tran et al reported that mean weight gain on risperidone was 5 lbs versus 9 lbs with olanzapine treatment. Tran, Hamilton et al. 1997 Oct ; However, longer treatment with risperidone has been associated with greater gains 9 lbs. ; than those reported in the Tran study. Wirshing, Wirshing et al. 1999 Jun ; Interestingly, Ganguli et al. showed mean weight loss of 2 lbs with risperidone at a mean treatment duration of 125.3 days in unpublished data. Ganguli 1999 ; It may be critical to consider and control for the previous treatment received, as switches from higher weight gain liability agents to lower liability agents can be associated with weight loss. Package insert data for risperidone indicate that 18% of patients gain 7% or more of their body weight over 6-8 weeks, vs. 9% of placebo controls. Quetipaine treatment at 5-6 weeks is associated with approximately 2 kg 4.4 lbs ; of weight increase. Jones, Rak et al.; Arvanitis and Miller 1997 ; During long-term treatment, however, quetiapine treatment has been observed to produce additional weight gain. While one long term study indicated that average weight gain during quetiapine treatment was on the order of one kilogram 2.2 lbs ; , Brecher, Rak et al. 2000 ; another analysis of 2, 216 patients treated with quetiapine revealed an average weight gain of 6 lbs. after 9 to 12 months of treatment. Jones, Rak et al. ; One phase III trial of quetiapine suggests that weight gain in the short term 5-6 weeks ; and long-term 9-12 months ; tends to be roughly twice that of placebo. Arvanitis and Miller 1997 ; Package insert data show that a significant 23% of patients vs. 6% taking placebo ; gained 7% body weight or more with 3 to 6 weeks of seroquel. Ziprasidone appears to show comparatively little weight gain, with minimal weight gain recorded in studies of 4-week Daniel, Zimbroff et al. 1999 ; and 28-week Hirsch, Kissling et al. 2002 ; courses of treatment. Estimated weight in the Allision et al random effects model analysis cited above for clozapine and olanzapine was negligible. Allison, Mentore et al. 1999 Nov ; However, published data are somewhat limited for this and ribavirin.

Date Publication Aug. 21, 2006 The Christian Science Monitor Commentary section Article Theme The media today are awash with images of disease, so much that drug ads have immersed us all "in a pervasive drug culture that seems to have no boundaries." The article says advertising is the "most pervasive and aggressive way of selling sickness, " and advocates legislative action. "Even the American Medical Association [which has ties to the industry] has urged restrictions. Washington should listen to these doctors." A review and follow-up to the Consumers Report feature September issue ; that looks at the increase in use of sleeping pills and whether this could be linked to DTC advertising. About 43 million prescriptions for sleeping pills were filled in the United States last year, which the newspaper said represents a 32 percent increase from 2001. The newspaper reviews the AMA's recommendation to the FDA that DTC be delayed for new drugs and devices until physicians have had time to study the safety and effectiveness, as well as its recommendation that companies obtain FDA approval before launching DTC ads. While presenting both sides, the article uses phrases that indicate support for the AMA position, for example referring to PhRMA as "the lobby." Quotable Comment "Medicine is supposed to be about science, not huckstering; about healing people, not persuading more of them that they are sick, " says author Jonathan Rowe, issues director at Commercial Alert and a former Christian Science Monitor staff writer and requip.
Their pain experience or about his or her response to treatment. The patient's report of pain must be believed. Physicians are also influenced by the prescribing practices of their peers to the extent that pharmacological knowledge is subordinated to the practice customary in the community; i.e., if customary prescribing results in undertreatment, but is the community standard, it is likely physicians will adopt the community standard making undertreatment of pain the norm. If adequate pain treatment is to be the norm, this vicious cycle must be broken. Proper pharmacological prescribing must replace customary prescribing. In customary prescribing, outcome is ignored. There are now a number of published standards for pain management in patients with cancer and physicians can expect to be held to those standards, for example, qietiapine price.
Cardiovascular risk factors cannot be ignored Editor--In their paper on the potential for infection by Coxiella burnetii to be a risk factor for cardiovascular disease Lovey et al suggest that the established mode of transmission of C burnetii is unlikely to be associated with risk factors for cardiovascular disease. They also say that the unavailability of baseline data on such risk is unlikely to influence their findings.1 However, in an outbreak of Q fever pneumonia affecting 147 patients in the United Kingdom in 1989 not referred to by Lovey et al ; we found that of 110 patients in whom smoking history was available for the time of the infection, 60 were current smokers, 28 were ex-smokers, and only 22 had never smoked.2 3 A subsequent case-control study in this cohort confirmed smoking to be a risk factor for Q fever.4 Follow up of 87 59% ; patients in clinic nine years after the original outbreak identified 31 35% ; as current smokers mean age 51.2 SD 10.2 , with a mean smoking burden of 33.0 15.8 ; pack years.

P .3.e Psychotic disorders and antipsychotics Other clinical ; ATP criteria were applied to classify patients as obese [body mass index BMI, kg m2 ; 30] and non-obese BMI 30 ; . Main measurements: age, gender, comorbidities, APD use and clinical parameters. The non-repeated episodes selected in the population with clinical records were: arterial hypertension, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, smoking, alcoholism, ischemic heart disease, cerebrovascular accident CVA ; , cardiovascular event CVE ; , heart liver kidney failure, bronchial asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease COPD ; and malignancies. Data were obtained from pharmacological prescription of atypical olanzapine, risperidone and others ; and typical haloperidol and others ; APD, concomitant diseases dementias, neurological and depressive disorders, organic and affective psychoses, schizophrenia ; and clinical parameters: systolic diastolic blood pressure SBP DBP, mmHg ; , baseline blood glucose, glycated hemoglobin HbA1c ; , triglycerides, total cholesterol, low density lipoprotein cholesterol LDL-C, mg dl ; and high density lipoprotein cholesterol HDL-C, mg dl ; , in accordance with legal requirements for confidentiality of patient records. Descriptive statistical analysis was performed with calculation of the mean, standard deviation SD ; and 95% confidence intervals CI ; , and normality of the distribution was tested using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. ANOVA and Pearson's chi-square tests. Correction of the model was carried out using a multivariate logistic regression analysis and ANCOVA models. The SPSS program was used to analyze the data, setting statistical significance at p 0.05. Summary of results: A total of 42, 437 patients were selected [mean age: 50.9 17.8 ; years; women: 59.9%]. Prevalence of obesity in the population was 27.3% 95% confident interval 26.9%27.7% ; . While the 1.3% 0.4%-2.2% ; of all patients were receiving treatment with APD typical; 49.3%, atypical; 50.7% ; , the percentage of obese subjects treated currently with APD was a 1.8% 1.6%-2.0% ; versus 1.1% 1.0%-1.2% ; in non-obese patients p 0.0001 ; , without differences in type of APD.

In this issue, we look at two problems that may not appear to be particularly life threatening: hirsutism and erectile dysfunction ED ; . As researched these topics, it became increasingly clear how serious these problems can be. ED can be a marker for significant microvascular disease. Hyperandrogenic states, such as found in hirsutism, increase the risk of developing cardiovascular disease, glucose intolerance and hypertension. This issue offers practical advice on managing these problems, as well as functional constipation in children back page ; . Many of you have written over the years to share with us how useful you have found informed. I hope that you will continue to find informed to be a practical resource in improving the health of your patients. Here's to the next ten years.
Increased mortality in elderly patients with dementia-related psychosis elderly patients with dementia-related psychosis treated with atypical antipsychotic drugs are at an increased risk of death compared to placebo.
One of the most common client complaints in veterinary medicine today is diarrhea. Diarrhea is subjectively determined by observing a loose, ill-formed bowel movement and is often associated with an increase in frequency, fluidity, and volume. Most feline house pets eliminate in the house via the litter pan and therefore, the owner readily detects diarrhea. Diarrhea becomes an even greater concern when the cat opts not to use the litter pan, but instead some area of the house or the carpet. Thus the practitioner's need to eliminate this problem quickly is very high. Diet can play a major role in the management of diarrhea and a quicker return to normal stool consistency. In recent years, much new research has been conducted utilizing dietary therapy for controlling the occurrence and severity of diarrhea. The use of certain types of fiber in the diet, the addition of fructooligosaccharides FOS ; , and the manipulation of the fat content or types of fatty acids used have been shown to be extremely beneficial in the fight against diarrhea, for example, quetiapine 300 mg.

Cautionary note: tricyclic antidepressants have potential danger in that they can be lethal in overdose situations ; . Fluoxetine Prozac ; is helpful if fatigue is significant. Doxepin Adepin or Sinequan ; is helpful if a person requires an antihistaminic effect for the presence of allergies or itchy skin ; . An SSRI medication or clomipramine Anafranil ; is indicated for obsessive-compulsive tendencies. Imipramine Tofranil ; is helpful if there are urinary symptoms, especially nocturia frequent night-time urination ; . Bupropion Wellbutrin ; is an ideal antidepressant to select for smokers smoking is very common among patients who abuse substances and have these three symptom patterns ; . I preferentially prescribe Bupropion over SSRI medication to avoid sexual dysfunction. If a person satisfies the criteria for having a bipolar pattern, it's appropriate to select a mood stabilizer. The most commonly used stabilizing medicines include divalproex Depakene ; , lithium carbonate and olanzapine Zyprexa ; . Forty per cent of patients with bipolar disorder will establish emotional stability with the use of one mood stabilizing agent, but 60% of patients will require two stabilizing agents. Each of these medicines has their own advantages and side effects. Divalproex is protective against the elevated mood component and with rapid mood cycling. Divalproex can be used in conjunction with an antidepressant to manage the depressive component, if necessary. The best antidepressant for the depressive component of a bipolar pattern is bupropion as this medicine is less likely to stimulate to a high while it effectively manages the depressive aspect. Divalproex can also facilitate withdrawal from alcohol and benzodiazepines and can be used to reduce incidence of relapse to these drugs. In this case, the divalproex can be continued for six months to one year. Lithium carbonate is protective against highs and lows in the mood cycle. It is inexpensive and can be effective, but approximately 30-50% of patients with bipolar disorder are considered refractory to lithium treatment that is, lithium stops working for the person after an initial period of effectiveness ; .2 Olanzapine also used as an antipsychotic ; has a mood stabilizing effect protecting against highs and lows. It is also helpful in the treatment of Cluster B and C symptoms. Gabapentin has significant anxiolytic anti-anxiety ; effects. Lomotrigine also has its place in acute bipolar depression, rapid cycling, refractory bipolar patients and bipolar disorder with OCD.2 Conventional wisdom suggests that a person with a bipolar pattern should not be given an antidepressant unless they are on a moodstabilizing agent. Prescribing an antidepressant to a patient with a bipolar pattern without a mood-stabilizing agent, in practice, can precipitate a manic or hypomanic phase and put the patient in danger. Patients with a diagnosis of bipolar disorder will often tell you that they have tried antidepressants and their experience of these antidepressants should serve to inform the doctor that a bipolar pattern is a possibility. The patient will often report that they have been given many different antidepressants and they were of no help at all, or that the antidepressants precipitated a `weird feeling' or a `high.' They will often report the same experience with coffee consumption. Cluster B and C symptoms can be managed with a low dose of psychotropic medicine. These medicines include respiridone Respirdal ; , quetiapine Seroquel ; and olanzapine Zyprexa ; . If the patient has Cluster symptoms and insomnia, then quetiapine or olanzapine would be a good choice. If insomnia is not a problem, a morning dose of respiridone could be helpful. Doses of these medications can be increased until the symptoms are resolved. Benzodiazapines are almost always contra-indicated and should only be prescribed with considerable discretion, although they are very helpful in facilitating withdrawal from alcohol and opiates. Trazadone is helpful as a sedative. Further resolution of these Cluster symptoms can be aided by encouraging the patient to write in letter or dialogue form on a daily basis over a period of time.
