OBJECTIVE
First- and second-generation antipsychotics commonly cause mild gastrointestinal hypomotility. Intestinal necrosis may be a consequence of such gastrointestinal perturbations.
METHODS
We reviewed all the observations of ischaemic colitis and gastrointestinal necrosis notified to the French
We present the case of a 26-year-old man with schizoid personality disorder who suffered from a very focal and transparietal necrosis of the sigmoid after an overdose of atypical neuroleptics. This is a singular, rather unknown and potentially lethal side effect of these drugs. The physiopathology
BACKGROUND
Strong associations exist between tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and metabolic syndrome (MetS). Although TNF-α is associated with bipolar depression (BD), its role in atypical antipsychotic (AAP)-associated MetS in BD is unclear. Here, we investigate the potential intervening role of
Some recent reports show that schizophrenia is accompanied by changes in lymphocyte activity. This study investigated the activity of monocytes by determining their release of interleukin- 1 beta (IL- 1 beta) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha). Monocytes were immunomagnetically isolated
BACKGROUND
Dysregulation of the immune system has been suggested to play a role in the etiology of schizophrenia (SCZ). In this context, the tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) is considered an interesting candidate for genetic studies as overproduction of TNF-alpha, which may be genetically
Thioridazine has been known as an antipsychotic agent, but it also has anticancer activity. However, the effect of thioridazine on tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) sensitization has not yet been studied. Here, we investigated the ability of thioridazine to sensitize
We report a 66-year-old male who developed diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) and necrosis of the small intestine due to non-occlusive mesenteric ischemia (NOMI), 3 months after starting quetiapine treatment. He was transferred to our hospital and diagnosed as diabetic for the first time, associated with
Psychotic disorders are accompanied by activation of the immune inflammatory response system (IRS). The compensatory immune-regulatory system (CIRS) is a regulatory immune response that is induced by the IRS but exerts negative feedback through increased levels of anti-inflammatory cytokines such as
OBJECTIVE
The underlying mechanism for second-generation antipsychotic (SGA)-related glucose-lipid metabolic dysfunction is not fully understood. Recent studies have suggested a possible impact of SGAs on endocrine regulation, especially on adipocytokines. We examined the effect of each SGA on
BACKGROUND
Antipsychotic medications have been associated with considerable weight gain. The degree of inter-individual variability and known genetic contributions to obesity suggest a combination of genetic and environmental factors. In the absence of established mechanisms and valid predictors for
OBJECTIVE
To critically review published literature on the causal association between leptin, cytokines, and excessive body weight gain (BWG) induced by antipsychotic drugs (APs).
METHODS
We completed a Medline search using the words leptin, cytokines, antipsychotic drugs, neuroleptics, psychotropic
Atypical antipsychotics such as clozapine represent a significant improvement over typical antipsychotics in the treatment of schizophrenia, particularly regarding extrapyramidal symptoms. Despite their benefits, use is limited by the occurrence of adverse reactions such as sedation and weight gain.
The pathogenesis of the neuroleptic malignant syndrome is currently unclear, and no specific morphological abnormalities in the CNS of victims of neuroleptic malignant syndrome have been described. The authors report a case of neuroleptic malignant syndrome with recent foci of necrosis in the
A 94-year-old man who had been admitted to our hospital for the treatment of senile dementia and restless behavior exhibited consciousness disturbances, acute respiratory failure, high fever, and thrombocytopenia the day after receiving haloperidol as prescribed by a psychiatrist. On the fourth day
