Bolesnica u dobi od 59 godina, tijekom života nije bila u psihijatrijskom tretmanu. Povremeno bi uzimala alprazolam tablete (ukupno tri tablete dnevno od 0, 5 mg) zadnjih godinu dana. Na pregledu psihijatra kod kojeg se javila zbog problema sa spavanjem negirala je uzimanje bilo kakvih lijekova, a na upite o uzimanju benzodiazepina navodila je da samo povremeno uzme tabletu alprazolama 0, 5 mg. Buduci da je u psihickom statusu dominirala depresivna simptomatila u terapiju je ukljucen fluvoksamin u dnevnoj dozi od 100 mg, uz alprazolam u dnevnoj dozi od 0, 5 mg i zolpidem u vecernjoj dozi od 5 mg. Treceg dana lijecenja bolesnica se javila u bolnicu zbog izražene napetosti, razdražljivosti, tjeskobe, tremora ruku, pojacanog znojenja i problema sa spavanjem. Ucinjena je obrada koja je iskljucila organski supstrat, a bolesnica je potvrdila uzimanje visokih doza alprazolama prije zapocinjanja psihijatrijskog tretmana. Tijekom bolnickog lijecenja doza alprazolama je postupno snižena i potom je alprazolam iskljucen iz terapije. Pri otpustu iz bolnice bolesnici je preporuceno da u terapiji dalje uzima fluvoksamin u vecernjoj dozi od 100 mg, uz zolpidem u vecernjoj dozi od 10 mg.
The molecular underpinnings of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are still unclear due to the complex interactions of genetic, psychological, and environmental factors. Glycosylation is a common post-translational modification of proteins, and different pathophysiological states, such as inflammation, autoimmune diseases, and mental disorders including PTSD, show altered N-glycome. Fucosyltransferase 8 (FUT8) is the enzyme that catalyzes the addition of core fucose on glycoproteins, and mutations in the FUT8 gene are associated with defects in glycosylation and functional abnormalities. This is the first study that investigated the associations of plasma N-glycan levels with FUT8-related rs6573604, rs11621121, rs10483776, and rs4073416 polymorphisms and their haplotypes in 541 PTSD patients and control participants. The results demonstrated that the rs6573604 T allele was more frequent in the PTSD than in the control participants. Significant associations of plasma N-glycan levels with PTSD and FUT8-related polymorphisms were observed. We also detected associations of rs11621121 and rs10483776 polymorphisms and their haplotypes with plasma levels of specific N-glycan species in both the control and PTSD groups. In carriers of different rs6573604 and rs4073416 genotypes and alleles, differences in plasma N-glycan levels were only found in the control group. These molecular findings suggest a possible regulatory role of FUT8-related polymorphisms in glycosylation, the alternations of which could partially explain the development and clinical manifestation of PTSD.
In this short text a number of conditions which should be obtained and achieved are discussed, all in purpose to maintain the clinical trial for 10 years or more.
Results: Patient, 39 years old, with diagnosis of schizophrenia, was in psychiatric treatment for the past 20 years. The patient's compli-ance with previous oral antipsychotic therapy was poor and for that reason she was treated with haloperidol depot during period of 5 years. The patient occasionally had ideas of reference, but with such treatment she was able to function in her social activities and at work. At control examination, the patient reported often being thirsty and also reported frequent urination. The laboratory exami-nation and examination of specialist of internal medicine were advised. Results of laboratory examination showed glucose value above the reference range. In the same time, there was no change in patient's body weight. Also, there was no change in patient's diet. Treatment with haloperidol was discontinued and treatment with fluphenazine was initiated, again as depot injection, because of poor compliance with oral antipsychotic therapy. The patient responded well to such therapy, she was able to function in her social activities and at work, and values of glucose gradually returned to previous values (within reference range).Conclusion: Laboratory examination showed glucose value above the reference range in the patient who was treated with haloperidol depot ; after switching to fluphenazine depot values of glucose gradually returned to previous values (within reference range).
