Lack of relationship of neuroleptic dose and blood serum levels to neuropsychological performance on the LNNB in chronic schizophrenia.

چکیده
The relationship of neuroleptic dose and blood serum levels to performance on the Luria Nebraska Neuropsychological Battery in chronic schizophrenics was assessed. Thirty chronic schizophrenics were individually administered the LNNB and a small sample of blood was obtained. No significant correlation between neuroleptic serum levels and test performance in these subjects was found although different conversion formulas related differentially to the blood serum levels.

Due to a narrow therapeutic range, measurment of theophylline serum levels is highly recommended in patients with a long-term theophylline therapy. In this regard, since blood sampling is an invasive method, exploring alternative methods using other biological fluids in particular saliva samples are targeted. This study was designed to determine any relationship between serum and saliva levels ...
