Objective: Extended-release methylphenidate (ER-MPH) formulations used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) have complex pharmacokinetic (PK) profiles, resulting from differing ratios of immediate-release and extended-release components and/or their site of absorption. This study aimed to evaluate the smoothness of PK curves of ER-MPHs.

Design: The integral of the second derivative squared was evaluated for modeled PK curves, with smaller values indicating a smoother curve. The calculated smoothness of each PK curve was normalized by dividing by Cmax 2 to derive a normalized smoothness parameter appropriate across the dose range of each formulation. Calculations used modeled PK curves from 100mg delayed-release and ER-MPH (DR/ER-MPH), 54mg osmotic release oral system MPH (OROS MPH), 60mg MPH controlled-release delivery (MPH CD), 60mg ER-MPH oral suspension (MEROS), 20mg ER dexmethylphenidate (d-MPH ER), and 60mg multilayer-release MPH (MLR-MPH).

Results: The Cmax2-normalized smoothness value was consistent across DR/ER-MPH doses, allowing for relevant comparisons across formulations. Normalized smoothness values differed widely; the lowest normalized smoothness was 0.05 with DR/ER-MPH and ranged up to 9.56 with d-MPH ER.

Conclusion: DR/ER-MPH demonstrated a smoother PK profile compared to the highest dose of other ER-MPH formulations. While the benefits of a smooth PK profile remain to be tested clinically, having fewer peaks and troughs has been hypothesized to reduce waxing and waning of therapeutic effects throughout the day, and more gradual changes in MPH plasma levels have been hypothesized to lower the risk of likeability and potentially abate afternoon symptom rebound.

目的:用于治疗注意缺陷多动障碍(ADHD)的缓释哌醋甲酯(ER-MPH)制剂具有复杂的药代动力学(PK)谱,这是由速释和缓释成分的不同比例和/或其吸收部位造成的。本研究旨在评价er - mph的PK曲线的平稳性。设计:对建模的PK曲线求二阶导数平方的积分,值越小表示曲线越光滑。将计算得到的每条PK曲线的平滑度除以Cmax 2归一化,得到适合于每种制剂剂量范围的归一化平滑度参数。使用100mg缓释和ER-MPH (DR/ER-MPH)、54mg渗透释放口服系统MPH (OROS MPH)、60mg MPH控释递送(MPH CD)、60mg ER-MPH口服混悬液(MEROS)、20mg ER右甲基哌醋酯(d-MPH ER)和60mg多层释放MPH (MLR-MPH)的模型PK曲线进行计算。结果:cmax2标准化平滑值在DR/ER-MPH剂量之间是一致的,允许在配方之间进行相关比较。归一化平滑度值差异很大;DR/ER- mph的归一化平滑度最低为0.05,d-MPH的归一化平滑度最高为9.56。结论:与其他最高剂量ER-MPH制剂相比,DR/ER-MPH表现出更平滑的PK曲线。虽然平稳的PK谱的好处仍有待临床测试,但假设较少的波峰和波谷可以减少全天治疗效果的起伏,并且假设MPH血浆水平的更渐进变化可以降低受欢迎的风险,并可能减轻下午症状反弹。

EcoMeditation Modifies Brain Resting State Network Activity. 生态冥想改变大脑静息状态网络活动
Q3 Medicine Pub Date : 2022-07-01
Peta Stapleton, Dawson Church, Oliver Baumann, Debbie Sabot

Background: The tendency of the mind to wander, a characteristic of the brain's default mode network (DMN), correlates with increased unhappiness and self-referential processing and is a deterrent to establishing a consistent meditation practice. The objective of this study was to test the impact of a secular physiological method of meditation. We hypothesized that EcoMeditation would produce increases in neural communication in brain regions associated with compassion and prosociality and decreases in self-referencing networks, such as the DMN, and that these changes would be found in the experimental group, but not the control group.

Methods: Participants (n=38) were randomized into two groups, and the final sample consisted of 25 participants. One group listened daily to a 22-minute EcoMeditation audio track, while the other used an active control. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) was used to assess brain function before and after four weeks of practice. Mystical experiences, as well as psychological conditions, such as anxiety and depression, were measured.

Results: Participants in the EcoMeditation group showed significantly increased connectivity between the bilateral hippocampus and the bilateral insula, compared to pre-intervention. In addition, significant decreases of connectivity between the bilateral hippocampus and the midprefrontal and left dorsolateral prefrontal cortices occurred. EcoMeditation participants also scored significantly higher for mystical experiences than the control group. The results for emotional states were mixed, with one assessment finding increased positive mood, but another finding increased negative affect.

Conclusion: After only four weeks, participants using EcoMeditation demonstrated brain states similar to meditation adepts with thousands of hours of traditional practice.

背景:思绪游荡是大脑默认模式网络(DMN)的一个特征,它与不快乐和自我参照处理的增加有关,是阻碍建立持续冥想练习的一个因素。本研究的目的是测试一种世俗的生理冥想方法的影响。我们假设生态冥想会增加与同情心和亲社会性相关的大脑区域的神经交流,减少自我参照网络(如 DMN)的神经交流:参与者(38 人)被随机分为两组,最终样本包括 25 名参与者。其中一组每天聆听 22 分钟的生态冥想音频,另一组则使用主动对照组。功能磁共振成像(fMRI)用于评估四周练习前后的大脑功能。对神秘体验以及焦虑和抑郁等心理状况进行了测量:结果:与干预前相比,生态冥想组的参与者双侧海马和双侧岛叶之间的连通性明显增加。此外,双侧海马与前额叶中层和左侧背外侧前额叶皮层之间的连通性明显下降。生态冥想参与者在神秘体验方面的得分也明显高于对照组。对情绪状态的评估结果不一,一项评估发现积极情绪有所增加,但另一项评估发现消极情绪有所增加:结论:仅用了四周时间,使用生态冥想法的参与者就表现出了与经过数千小时传统冥想练习的冥想大师相似的大脑状态。

Introduction: Recent reports have shown several cases of cerebrovascular events after vaccination against COVID-19. The effects have been described mainly in women within the first two weeks of receiving the vaccine.

Clinical case: We describe here the first Colombian case of a cerebrovascular event after vaccination against COVID-19 in a 67-year-old woman with a vascular history. Four days after application of the messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) vaccine, she exhibited deviation of the labial commissure, ipsilateral ptosis, and limitation of march with lateralization. The event was associated with a subacute ischemic event in the right thalamus in parasagittal situation, changes in chronic ischemic microangiopathy of small vessels, and vascular crossing in the right cerebellar angle, without other alternative causes.

Conclusion: The development and rapid use of vaccines has allowed the hospitalization and mortality statistics associated with COVID-19 to be reduced, but at the same time, it has generated concern about the potential side effects, generating controversy among the general population, especially in individuals with cardiovascular diseases. In our case, we provided evidence for the discussion of potential cerebrovascular events related to the application of vaccines in older people with a history of cerebrovascular diseases. This was done in order to analyze and control in subsequent studies the modulation of medical history on the likely effects of vaccination. However, despite the unavoidable side effects, the benefits of vaccination are superior.

最近的报告显示,接种COVID-19疫苗后出现了几例脑血管事件。这种影响主要发生在接种疫苗的头两周内的妇女身上。临床病例:我们在这里描述了哥伦比亚首例接种COVID-19疫苗后出现脑血管事件的病例,患者为一名67岁的有血管病史的女性。应用信使核糖核酸(mRNA)疫苗4天后,她表现出唇连合偏离,同侧上睑下垂,行走受限。该事件与副矢状面情况下右丘脑亚急性缺血事件、小血管慢性缺血性微血管病变改变和右小脑角血管交叉有关,无其他原因。结论:疫苗的发展和快速使用使得与COVID-19相关的住院和死亡率统计数据下降,但同时也引起了对潜在副作用的担忧,引起了普通人群,特别是心血管疾病患者的争议。在我们的案例中,我们为讨论与有脑血管疾病史的老年人应用疫苗相关的潜在脑血管事件提供了证据。这样做是为了在随后的研究中分析和控制病史对疫苗接种可能影响的调节。然而,尽管不可避免的副作用,接种疫苗的好处是优越的。

Gender-affirming Care for Transgender Patients. 跨性别病人的性别确认护理。
Q3 Medicine Pub Date : 2022-04-01
Nita Bhatt, Jesse Cannella, Julie P Gentile

Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer/questioning, intersex, asexual, plus (LGBTQIA+ or LGBTQ+) individuals face a wide array of health disparities both within and separate from the healthcare system. Transgender patients are subject to microaggressions, misgendering, and harassment from providers, medical staff, and fellow patients. These patients experience drastic disparities in suicidality, depression, anxiety, substance use, malignancy, sexually transmitted disease (STD), and victimization of violence. Providers have the opportunity to intervene and positively impact patient experiences through gender-affirming care, but they first require an adequate knowledge base and understanding of the importance of sensitive and inclusive care. Seemingly small interventions, such as listing one's own pronouns, using gender-neutral language, validating and affirming patients, and utilizing appropriate mental and physical health screenings, can lead to significant impacts on the patient experience, health outcomes, and quality of life. This article will discuss some of the most common disparities and obstacles faced by transgender patients and will argue the paramount role of the provider in establishing gender-affirming care and some high-impact avenues which the provider, regardless of specialty, may pursue when caring for these patients.

女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋、跨性别者、酷儿/质疑者、双性人、无性恋者和同性恋者(LGBTQIA+或LGBTQ+)在医疗保健系统内部和独立于医疗保健系统之外面临着广泛的健康差异。跨性别患者容易受到提供者、医务人员和其他患者的微侵犯、性别误解和骚扰。这些患者在自杀、抑郁、焦虑、药物使用、恶性肿瘤、性传播疾病(STD)和暴力受害方面存在巨大差异。提供者有机会通过性别确认护理进行干预并对患者体验产生积极影响,但他们首先需要有足够的知识基础,并了解敏感和包容性护理的重要性。看似很小的干预措施,如列出自己的代词,使用性别中立的语言,确认和肯定患者,并利用适当的精神和身体健康筛查,可以对患者的体验,健康结果和生活质量产生重大影响。本文将讨论跨性别患者面临的一些最常见的差异和障碍,并将讨论提供者在建立性别确认护理方面的首要作用,以及提供者在照顾这些患者时可能追求的一些高影响力途径,无论专业如何。

Impact of Lurasidone on Metabolic Parameters and Prolactin Levels Based on Differences of Psychiatric Diagnosis, Dosage, and Introducing Methods: An Observational Study. 鲁拉西酮对代谢参数和催乳素水平的影响:基于精神病学诊断、剂量和引入方法的差异:一项观察性研究。
Q3 Medicine Pub Date : 2022-04-01
Masaru Nakamura, Takahiko Nagamine

Objective: Lurasidone is a second-generation antipsychotic (SGA) that contributes an antipsychotic and antidepressant effect, with low incidences of metabolic-related diseases and hyperprolactinemia for the treatment of psychological disorders. However, evidence on lurasidone is limited in psychiatric clinical settings. This study aimed to investigate the effect of short-term lurasidone treatment on metabolic effects and prolactin (PRL) levels, in relation to the differences of psychiatric disorders, lurasidone dosages, and introducing methods, in 35 female and 12 male Japanese inpatients with psychiatric disorders.

Methods: Subjects were placed into six subgroups divided by three categories (schizophrenia/schizoaffective disorder or bipolar disorder, 20mg/day or 40mg/day, adding or switching). Sequential changes in 10 items of metabolic parameters, including estimated insulin resistance and PRL levels at one month, were evaluated. The variations of metabolic parameters that were significantly changed from baseline were analyzed against sample characteristics and other metabolic parameter variations.

Results: In the 40mg/day and switching introduction method groups, lurasidone significantly reduced body weight, body mass index (BMI), levels of alanine amiotransaminase, and levels of fasting blood glucose. PRL levels seemed to increase when lurasidone was added and decrease when lurasidone was switched to from other antipsychotics. Switching introduction method and higher dosage correlated with weight loss and lowering fasting blood glucose levels, respectively.

Conclusion: Lurasidone administration offered the potential for weight loss, lowered serum blood glucose levels, and converging serum PRL concentrations. Moreover, switching introduction method with higher dosages might alleviate basal metabolism and glucose homeostasis. Further prospective studies combining measurements of serum insulin and psychometric evaluation will help to confirm our conclusions.

目的:鲁拉西酮是一种具有抗精神病和抗抑郁作用的第二代抗精神病药(SGA),其代谢相关疾病和高泌乳素血症的发生率较低,可用于治疗心理障碍。然而,关于鲁拉西酮的证据在精神病学临床设置是有限的。本研究旨在探讨短期鲁拉西酮治疗对35名女性和12名男性精神疾病住院患者的代谢作用和催乳素(PRL)水平的影响,以及与精神疾病、鲁拉西酮剂量和引入方法的差异。方法:将受试者分为6个亚组,分为3个类别(精神分裂症/分裂情感障碍或双相情感障碍,20mg/d或40mg/d,添加或切换)。评估10项代谢参数的顺序变化,包括1个月时估计的胰岛素抵抗和PRL水平。根据样本特征和其他代谢参数的变化,分析了与基线相比有显著变化的代谢参数的变化。结果:在40mg/d和切换引入方法组,鲁拉西酮显著降低体重、体重指数(BMI)、丙氨酸转氨酶水平和空腹血糖水平。当添加鲁拉西酮时,PRL水平似乎升高,当鲁拉西酮从其他抗精神病药物切换时,PRL水平下降。改变引入方式和增加剂量分别与体重减轻和降低空腹血糖水平相关。结论:鲁拉西酮给药有可能减轻体重,降低血清血糖水平,并使血清PRL浓度收敛。此外,高剂量的开关引入法可能会减轻基础代谢和葡萄糖稳态。进一步的前瞻性研究结合血清胰岛素测量和心理测量评估将有助于证实我们的结论。

Introduction: Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) is a neurological condition consisting of relapse-related disability. Treatment options are limited. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and tolerability of rituximab (RTX) in comparison to azathioprine (AZT) and mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) for the treatment of NMOSD.

Methods: A systematic search was conducted among electronic databases, including PubMed, Scopus, EBSCO, and Cochrane, for relevant studies. We included randomized, controlled trials and prospective and retrospective studies evaluating the efficacy and safety of RTX compared to AZT and/or MMF in adult and pediatric patients with NMOSD. The Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS) and Cochrane Collaboration tool were used to determine the risk of bias.

Results: Eleven studies involving 1,086 patients were included in our study. Treatment with RTX generally yielded favorable annualized relapse rate (ARR) and Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) results in comparison to AZT and MMF, despite its variable statistical significance. RTX treatment reduced the relapse rate and hazard risk for relapse (HRR). Patients in the RTX group experienced significantly fewer adverse events, among which the most common were allergies, infections, and leukopenia.

Conclusion: In this study, RTX appeared to be superior to AZT and MMF in improving disability and reducing relapse in patients with NMOSD. RTX is also associated with fewer adverse events based on pooled analysis. Future randomized clinical trials are needed to establish the efficacy and safety of RTX in patients with NMOSD.

简介神经脊髓炎视网膜频谱紊乱症(NMOSD)是一种神经系统疾病,会导致复发性残疾。治疗方案有限。本系统综述和荟萃分析旨在评估利妥昔单抗(RTX)与硫唑嘌呤(AZT)和霉酚酸酯(MMF)治疗 NMOSD 的有效性和耐受性:在 PubMed、Scopus、EBSCO 和 Cochrane 等电子数据库中对相关研究进行了系统检索。我们纳入了随机对照试验以及前瞻性和回顾性研究,这些研究评估了在成人和儿童 NMOSD 患者中 RTX 与 AZT 和/或 MMF 相比的疗效和安全性。采用纽卡斯尔-渥太华量表(NOS)和 Cochrane 协作工具来确定偏倚风险:我们的研究共纳入了 11 项研究,涉及 1,086 名患者。与AZT和MMF相比,RTX治疗的年复发率(ARR)和扩展残疾状态量表(EDSS)结果普遍较好,尽管其统计意义各不相同。RTX 治疗降低了复发率和复发风险(HRR)。RTX组患者的不良反应明显减少,其中最常见的是过敏、感染和白细胞减少:在这项研究中,RTX 在改善 NMOSD 患者的残疾状况和减少复发方面似乎优于 AZT 和 MMF。根据汇总分析,RTX 的不良反应也较少。未来需要进行随机临床试验,以确定 RTX 对 NMOSD 患者的疗效和安全性。

Multiple digital health technologies have been evaluated across clinical development programs, including external, wearable, implantable, and ingestible devices and sensors, along with digital mobile health applications (apps) that are accessible via users' personal electronic devices (e.g., smartphones, tablets, and computers). Several of these technologies have been incorporated into our ongoing neurology and respiratory clinical development programs. Based on our experience, one of the greatest potential benefits of digital health technologies is the ability to collect objective and/or biological data continuously or at regular intervals outside of office visits during a patient's normal daily activities to provide additional efficacy and safety information, versus data capture from traditional episodic, time point-based office visits. Many challenges encountered with digital health technologies can be successfully addressed by providing the appropriate training to staff and patients, ensuring availability of appropriate infrastructure support, and conducting pilot studies before scaling up to larger trials. Overall, our experience with digital health technologies demonstrated their potential to increase the amount of objective data collected in clinical trials, expand patient access to trials, and facilitate further improvement of clinical outcomes.

我们在临床开发项目中对多种数字健康技术进行了评估,包括外置、可穿戴、可植入和可摄取的设备和传感器,以及可通过用户个人电子设备(如智能手机、平板电脑和电脑)访问的数字移动健康应用程序(App)。其中几项技术已被纳入我们正在进行的神经和呼吸临床开发项目。根据我们的经验,数字健康技术最大的潜在优势之一是能够在患者正常的日常活动中持续或定期收集诊室外的客观和/或生物数据,以提供额外的疗效和安全性信息,而不是从传统的基于时间点的偶发诊室访问中获取数据。通过为员工和患者提供适当的培训,确保提供适当的基础设施支持,以及在扩大规模进行更大规模试验之前开展试点研究,可以成功应对数字医疗技术遇到的许多挑战。总之,我们在数字医疗技术方面的经验表明,它们有潜力增加临床试验中收集的客观数据量,扩大患者参与试验的机会,并促进临床结果的进一步改善。
