There is life after the UK Clozapine Central Non-Rechallenge Database

, 2021
Background and Aims In the United Kingdom, patients on clozapine whose hematological parameters fall below certain thresholds are placed on the Central Non-Rechallenge Database (CNRD), meaning that they cannot be prescribed clozapine again except under ...

Paternal Caffeine Exposure Programs Offspring Stress Vulnerability via Sperm Dlk1‐Dio3 Imprinting‐Directed Remodeling of a Novel Neural Circuit

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The study elucidates that paternal preconception stress can drive offspring hyperresponsivity of the stress system via hypomethylation of a specific DNA region in sperm. This key link is confirmed in a cohort of prospective fathers: the epigenetic alteration is associated with elevated stress hormone levels.

Palatable‐Food–Driven Top‐Down Circuit Inhibits PVNCRF Activity to Mitigate Stress Via Peri‐PVNCRFR1 Neurons

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Palatable food alleviates stress and prevents anxiety. This study uncovers a dedicated neural pathway: dopamine release in the PFC activates D1R neurons, whose projections to the peri‐PVN engage a population of anxiolytic CRFR1 neurons. These neurons then inhibit stress‐induced hyperactivity of PVNCRF neurons, providing a circuit‐level explanation for ...

Patterns of C-reactive protein trends during clozapine titration and the onset of clozapine-induced inflammation: a case series of weekly and daily C-reactive protein monitoring

Frontiers in Psychiatry
BackgroundInternational guidelines for clozapine titration recommend measuring C-reactive protein (CRP) weekly for 4 weeks after clozapine initiation to prevent fatal inflammatory adverse events, including myocarditis.

Melatonin Levels in 89 Individuals With Smith Magenis Syndrome

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In patients with Smith–Magenis syndrome (SMS), an inverted circadian rhythm of melatonin (MT) contributes to the sleep disturbance. Standard treatment of sleep disturbance with MT often leads to extremely high daytime MT levels, resulting in even more sleep disorders. We therefore retrospectively evaluated the MT data of 89 SMS patients.

Influence of pharmacokinetics‐related gene polymorphisms on plasma levels of clozapine and its metabolites in Japanese patients with schizophrenia

PCN Reports
Aim Clozapine is an atypical antipsychotic drug that is most effective against treatment‐resistant schizophrenia and causes serious adverse effects, including agranulocytosis. We examined the relationships between age, sex, genetic polymorphisms, and the

Clozapine Withdrawal Catatonia: A Case Series and Review of Literature

Annals of Indian Psychiatry
Background: Catatonia has been reported with withdrawal of medications. Among the various psychotropics, clozapine has been implicated to cause catatonia when abruptly withdrawn. The data regarding clozapine withdrawal catatonia are scarce and are mostly

Psychotropic medication use among community dwellers with and without Parkinson's disease – A nationwide cohort study

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Aims We studied the prevalence of psychotropic use and psychotropic polypharmacy in persons with Parkinson's disease (PD) during a 10‐year follow‐up, because longitudinal studies on this topic are scarce although non‐motor symptoms of PD are often treated with psychotropics.
