Metabolic disturbance in first-episode schizophrenia.
BACKGROUND Schizophrenia shortens life, e.g. through suicide and obesity-related diseases such as type 2 diabetes mellitus. It is assumed that medications play a major role, but most of the evidence for this comes from studies poorly controlled for variables such as lifestyle and medication status. AIMS To determine whether schizophrenia is associated (independently of medication) with the de...
متن کاملTypical and atypical antipsychotics differentially affect long-term incidence rates of the metabolic syndrome in first-episode patients with schizophrenia: a retrospective chart review.
UNLABELLED The presence of the metabolic syndrome (MetS) is an important risk factor for cardiovascular disease and diabetes. There are limited data on the prevalence of MetS in patients with schizophrenia at the onset of the disorder and specifically no data on patients treated in the era when only first-generation antipsychotics were available. METHODS Data from a historic cohort of consecu...
متن کاملSuccessful Early Clozapine Trial in the Treatment of First-episode Schizophrenia: A Case Report
Clozapine remains the treatment of choice in refractory schizophrenia despite its various requirement to prescribe, such as mandatory blood monitoring program and various metabolic complication. Currently, clozapine is recommended only after two failed adequate antipsychotics trials. We report a case of a successful early clozapine trial in the treatment of first-episode schizophrenia patient, ...
متن کاملSelective deficits in prefrontal cortex function in medication-naive patients with schizophrenia.
BACKGROUND Previously we proposed that dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (PFC) supports a specific working memory (WM) subcomponent: the ability to represent and maintain context information necessary to guide appropriate task behavior. By context, we mean prior task-relevant information represented in such a form that it supports selection of the appropriate behavioral response. Furthermore, we h...
متن کاملMetabolic risk factors in first-episode schizophrenia: baseline prevalence and course analysed from the European First-Episode Schizophrenia Trial.
Available data on antipsychotic-induced metabolic risks are often constrained by potential confounding effects due to prior antipsychotic treatment. In this study, we assessed the baseline prevalence of metabolic abnormalities and changes following treatment with five commonly-used antipsychotic drugs (haloperidol, amisulpride, olanzapine, quetiapine or ziprasidone) in first-episode, partially ...
