The Impact of Metformin on Weight and Waist Circumference in Patients Treated With Clozapine: A One-Year Retrospective Cohort Study. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Background Metformin shows potential in combating clozapine‐induced weight gain (CIWG). However, current evidence for its use remains limited. Through an audit we determined the prevalence of metformin use among clozapine‐treated patients and its impact on weight and waist circumference (WC).

Antipsychotic dose escalation as a trigger for Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome (NMS): literature review and case series report [PDF]
Background: “Neuroleptic malignant syndrome” (NMS) is a potentially fatal idiosyncratic reaction to any medication which affects the central dopaminergic system. Between 0.5% and 1% of patients exposed to antipsychotics develop the condition.

Abstract Clinical response of clozapine is closely associated with serum concentration. Although tobacco smoking is the key environmental factor underlying interindividual variability in clozapine metabolism, recent genome‐wide studies suggest that CYP1A and NFIB genetic variants may also be of significant importance, but their quantitative impact is ...

Antipsychotic medication for childhood-onset schizophrenia [PDF]
We review the development of several new approaches for extending the performance of Brillouin based slow light systems. In particular we describe the use of cavity effects to enhance the achievable delays, gain saturation to decouple the delay and ...

Since 1997, studies have found that Asians need lower clozapine doses than Caucasians. Caucasians with average clozapine metabolism may need from 300 to 600 mg/day to reach the therapeutic range (350 ng/ml). Thus, serum clozapine concentration-to-dose (C/

Chemical synapses are tiny and overcrowded environments enriched with thousands of protein species. Many efforts have been devoted to developing sensors and actuators able to evaluate and control synaptic communication. Most of these recent tools are based on the engineering of one or more specific synaptic proteins used to target active moieties to ...
