Request.'"13 "From him" might mean the person could compel obedience or punish disobedience because of his social position or his willingness to use force. Clear cases of performativity in Austin's sense, which I once dubbed having "strong illocutionary force, " must be distinguished from others, which might only have "weak illocutionary force." 14 "I now pronounce you man and wife, " when said by a judge, a religious official, or the captain of a ship, constitutes the performative act of marriage, but pronounced by anyone else does not. "It's a girl!" pronounced by medical staff at a birth, and followed up by a written record, constitutes the performative act of "girling."15 Pronounced by the parents, the statement usually would not be performative, because parents usually do not have the authority to fill out a birth certificate. For acts with "weak illocutionary force, " I think that the sense in which they intended may be more aptly described as expressing a wish, than as making a change in the world. This, I would argue, is the case for much of the back talk by students and patients in Rounds. No matter what anyone wishes, if the doctors say you are manicdepressive and write that down in your chart, then that is what you are, in contexts in which medical authority operates. The territory over which medical authority operates is so vast, that, however powerful the wish to be classified otherwise, more often than not such a wish is without much effect on the world. But expressing a wish expresses something about the person who says it: it manifests weakly, but still performatively, an aspect of a person`s subjectivity: "The description of a wish is eo ipso the description of its fulfillment." Mr. Burton`s kisses might, on this account, be understood as the expression of his wish that his attachment to his kin could become part of his medical. Adverse Drug Reactions in Dentistry. Seymour and Walton, OUP 1988 ; We have had several reports recently of drug-induced oral disease. Both increase and decrease in salivary flow can be due to drugs, and we have had reports of dry mouth associated with paroxetine Seroxat ; , a recognized complication of that drug. Doctors have also sent Yellow Cards describing hypersalivation with clozapine Clozaril ; , and with fluvoxamine Faverin ; . The former reaction, but not the latter, is mentioned in the data sheet. The CSM has now had 5 reports of hypersalivation with fluvoxamine, suggesting that it may not be a chance association. We have also heard of oral ulceration associated with carteolol Teoptic ; eye drops, with diclofenac and with trimethoprim. Drugs with a local irritant effect, including non-steroidal agents like diclofenac, are well-known causes of mouth ulcers, which can also indicate neutropenia caused by drugs such as carbimazole. Gum hypertrophy has been reported in a woman treated for epilepsy with carbamazepine plus primidone. This is interesting, because the reaction is common with phenytoin but not wellrecognised with other anti-epileptic drugs. It can also occur with nifedipine, the oral contraceptive. Peripheral Neuropathy Peripheral neuropathy seen among alcoholics results from vitamin deficiencies, especially, thiamine, pyridoxine and pantothenic acid. The onset of the symptoms is insidious and the progress is slow. Typically, patients complain of pain, paraesthesias and weakness, with symptoms being generally more prominent in the lower extremities. Paraesthesias are particularly distressing. Symptoms are more striking in the distal part of the limbs glove and stocking distribution ; and progress proximally as the disease advances. On physical examination, there is loss or diminution of ankle jerks. Sensory examination reveals loss of superficial touch, position sense and vibratory sensation. These changes are usually symmetric. Treatment involves vitamin supplementation, along with physical therapy to preserve muscle strength. Recovery is slow. Tricyclic antidepressants and carbamazepine have been used to alleviate pain. Alcoholism might affect the autonomic nerves resulting in impotence, postural hypotension and bladder or bowel dysfunction. Alcoholic Myopathy Chronic use of alcohol is sometimes associated with progressive muscle weakness. Characteristically, the proximal group of muscles of the lower limbs is involved. Patients usually complain of difficulty in climbing staircases or walking on an uneven ground. On physical examination, subjects have difficulty in getting up from squatting position without support. Diagnosis is confirmed by muscle biopsy. Treatment consists of abstinence & physiotherapy. Alcohol and Accidents There is a three- fold increase in accident rate among alcoholics. Besides road traffic accidents, alcoholics are at a greater risk to be involved in accidents at home and at the work place. Head injury in an alcoholic is particularly common. It has been reported that more than 20% of accident related head injury is associated with.

In this examiner's opinion, while there may be some jobs which claimant would otherwise be able to attempt, the severe level of pain with which he lives daily, coupled with his age, education, and lack of experience in any field other than manual labor, conspire against him to enable him to ever return to the workforce in any full-time, meaningful capacity, with the ability to earn the salary he earned before his October 23, 2003, compensable injury. It is this examiner's opinion that claimant has met his burden of proving by a preponderance of the credible evidence that he is entitled to wage loss disability experienced over and above the impairment rating. In regard to Second Injury Fund liability, the Arkansas Supreme Court set forth a tripartite test for Second Injury Fund liability in Mid-State Construction Co. v.

Imipramine As an Inactivation Stabilizer: The Accessory Role of the Tertiary Amine Chain. In this study, we demonstrate that imipramine binds to the inactivated neuronal Na channels with a dissociation constant of 1.3 M, whereas the affinity between imipramine and the resting channels is at least 100 times lower Figs. 2 and 3 ; . Imipramine is thus similar to anticonvulsants phenytoin, carbamazepine, and lamotrigine in selective binding to the inactivated channels Kuo and Bean, 1994; Kuo et al., 1997; Kuo and Lu, 1997 ; . Given a one-to-one binding process, a binding rate of 1.5 105 M 1s 1 Fig. 5 ; , and a dissociation constant of 1.3 M, imipramine should unbind from the inactivated Na channels at a rate of 0.19 s 1. In the same preparation, the unbinding rate of carbamazepine is 0.95 s 1 calculated from a binding rate of 3.8 104 M 1s 1 and a dissociation constant of 25 M the inactivated Na channels; Kuo et al., 1997 ; . The 20-fold difference in overall binding affinity indicates a difference of 3 RT 1.8 kcal mol; R is the gas constant and T is the absolute temperature ; in the total binding energy between the two drugs. Because imipramine and carbamazepine share the same three-dimensional structure in the diphenyl motif Fig. 1A ; , the tertiary amine chain present in imipramine but not in carbamazepine.

129 with one condition consisting of phenelzine followed by pill placebo. Here, we included only the phenelzine condition. Of the trials included in the meta-analysis, six were TCA treatments, which included desipramine n number of trials ; 2; mean dose i.e. mean dose at the end of treatment ; 200 mg day ; , imipramine n 2; mean dose 242 mg day ; , amitriptyline n 1; mean dose 175 mg day ; , and trazadone n 1; mean dose 300 mg day ; . Although carbamazepine is structurally similar to TCAs, we classified it separately because it appears to have different pharmacologic properties to conventional TCAs. In addition to its anti-seizure effects, it is thought to reduce problems of impulse control Coccaro and Siever, 1995 ; , which in turn raises the question of whether it plays an important role in the reduction of unwanted, intrusive, trauma-related thoughts Lipper, 1990 ; . One trial of carbamazepine that was suitable for inclusion was located mean dose 661 mg day ; . Seven MAOI treatments were included, consisting of phenelzine n 6; mean dose 60 mg day ; and brofaromine n 1; mean dose 150 mg day ; . BDZ treatment consisted of a single trial of alprazolam mean dose 3.75 mg day ; . Four SSRIs trials included fluoxetine n 2; mean dose 60 mg day ; , fluvoxamine n 1; mean dose 150 mg day ; , and sertraline n 1; mean dose 105 mg day ; . All patients in all drug trials were on medication when assessed at posttreatment. Thirteen behavioural therapy trials were included. They generally entailed some type of exposure therapy n 11 ; , with some of these using imaginal exposure n 4 ; and others using both imaginal and in-vivo exposure n 7 ; . Some behavioural therapies also included stress-inoculation training SIT: n 3 ; . mentioned earlier, we examined behavioural therapies as a group which included cognitivebehavioural treatments ; , rather than separately examining each `type' of behavioural intervention. This was because there were insufficient trials to conduct a more fine-grained analysis. Thus, our meta-analysis was directed toward examining behaviour therapy as a class of interventions, which is similar to the way in which other meta-analyses have examined classes or groups of interventions see, for example, Lipsey and Wilson's 1993 ; metaanalysis of very broad classes of psychological and educational interventions ; . EMDR therapies were also examined as a class of therapies, consisting of 11 trials. Although EMDR has been modified since it was first described by Shapiro 1989 ; , the initially proposed elements of and trihexyphenidyl.
Overall Blood Pressure Changes Table 1 shows the comparison of baseline and treatment averages for both the final office and 24-h ambulatory blood pressure. Dilti~cm delivered by either system reduced the diastolic blood pressure significantly with no changes in pulse rates. 3.ncontrast with the comparison of-office blood pressure means, comparison of 24il ambulatory blood pressure averages also detected significant systolic blood pressure reductions achieved by both delivery systems.
Kristen L. Mauk, PhD RN CRRN-A APRN BC Nearly 65 million American adults, or one in three persons, have hypertension. Often called the "silent killer" because of the lack of early symptoms, high blood pressure contributed to the death of more than 52, 600 people in 2003 American Heart Association, 2005 ; . The death rate for African Americans, both men and women, is significantly higher than for Caucasians. Hypertension also remains the number-one risk factor for stroke, a leading cause of death and disability throughout the world. Hypertension is defined by the American Heart Association as a blood pressure of 140 90 or higher. The vast majority of hypertension has no identifiable cause but is manageable by lifestyle changes and medications. The purpose of this article is to discuss the common medications used in treatment of hypertension. The most recent guidelines for treating hypertension provide four basic strategies to manage and prevent complications. First, identify prehypertenion and begin lifestyle changes early. Prehypertension is defined as a blood pressure of 130139 mm Hg systolic and 8089 mm Hg diastolic. Persons with prehypertension are more likely to become hypertensive than those with lower blood pressures. Second, even for patients over the age of 50, treat a systolic blood pressure over 140 mm Hg. Previous guidelines allowed older adults more flexibility in the systolic reading if the diastolic was within normal limits. New research suggests that deaths could be avoided by initiating treatment earlier. Third, the use of more than one medication is advisable. "Using more than one drug to treat most patients will be key to improving blood pressure control rates. Patients and physicians need to begin the drug treatment process with an open mind, using as much medication as necessary to achieve goal blood pressure" Jones, 2003 ; . A few significant classes of medications are commonly used in treatment of hypertension. These include diuretics, beta-blockers, ACE inhibitors, angiotensin II receptor blockers, calcium channel blockers, and central alpha agonists. Table 1 provides a summary of the common medications used under each class and celecoxib. About 6%-8% of Caucasians, and a very low percentage of Asians, have little or no activity and are "poor metabolizers" ; and to inhibition by a variety of substrates and some non-substrates, notably quinidine. Extensive CYP 2D6 metabolizers convert risperidone rapidly into 9-hydroxyrisperidone, whereas poor CYP 2D6 metabolizers convert it much more slowly. Although extensive metabolizers have lower risperidone and higher 9-hydroxyrisperidone concentrations than poor metabolizers, the pharmacokinetics of the active moiety, after single and multiple doses, are similar in extensive and poor metabolizers. Risperidone could be subject to two kinds of drug-drug interactions see PRECAUTIONS - Drug Interactions ; . First, inhibitors of CYP 2D6 interfere with conversion of risperidone to 9-hydroxyrisperidone. This occurs with quinidine, giving essentially all recipients a risperidone pharmacokinetic profile typical of poor metabolizers. The therapeutic benefits and adverse effects of risperidone in patients receiving quinidine have not been evaluated, but observations in a modest number n 70 ; of poor metabolizers given risperidone do not suggest important differences between poor and extensive metabolizers. Second, co-administration of known enzyme inducers e.g., phenytoin, rifampin, and phenobarbital ; with risperidone may cause a decrease in the combined plasma concentrations of risperidone and 9-hydroxyrisperidone. It would also be possible for risperidone to interfere with metabolism of other drugs metabolized by CYP 2D6. Relatively weak binding of risperidone to the enzyme suggests this is unlikely. In a drug interaction study in schizophrenic patients, 11 subjects received risperidone titrated to 6 mg day for 3 weeks, followed by concurrent administration of carbamazepine for an additional 3 weeks. During co-administration, the plasma concentrations of risperidone and its pharmacologically active metabolite, 9-hydroxyrisperidone, were decreased by about 50%. Plasma concentrations of carbamazepine did not appear to be affected. Co-administration of other known enzyme inducers e.g., phenytoin, rifampin, and phenobarbital ; with risperidone may cause similar decreases in the combined plasma concentrations of risperidone and 9-hydroxyrisperidone, which could lead to decreased efficacy of risperidone treatment see PRECAUTIONS Drug Interactions and DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION Co-Administration of RISPERDAL with Certain Other Medications ; . Fluoxetine 20 mg QD ; and paroxetine 20 mg QD ; have been shown to increase the plasma concentration of risperidone 2.5-2.8 fold and 3-9 fold respectively. Fluoxetine did not affect the plasma concentration of 9-hydroxyrisperidone. Paroxetine lowered the concentration of 9-hydroxyrisperidone an average of 13% see PRECAUTIONS Drug Interactions and DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION Co-Administration of RISPERDAL with Certain Other Medications ; . Repeated oral doses of risperidone 3 mg BID ; did not affect the exposure AUC ; or peak plasma concentrations Cmax ; of lithium n 13 ; see PRECAUTIONS Drug Interactions ; . Repeated oral doses of risperidone 4 mg QD ; did not affect the pre-dose or average plasma concentrations and exposure AUC ; of valproate 1000 mg day in three divided doses ; compared to placebo n 21 ; . However, there was a 20% increase in valproate peak plasma concentration Cmax ; after concomitant administration of risperidone see PRECAUTIONS Drug Interactions ; . There were no significant interactions between risperidone 1 mg QD ; and erythromycin 500 mg QID ; see PRECAUTIONS Drug Interactions ; . Excretion Risperidone and its metabolites are eliminated via the urine and, to a much lesser extent, via the feces. As illustrated by a mass balance study of a single 1 mg oral dose of 14C-risperidone administered as solution to three healthy male volunteers, total recovery of radioactivity at 1 week was 84%, including 70% in the urine and 14% in the feces. The apparent half-life of risperidone was 3 hours CV 30% ; in extensive metabolizers and 20 hours CV 40% ; in poor metabolizers. The apparent half-life of 9-hydroxyrisperidone was about 21 hours CV 20% ; in extensive metabolizers and 30 hours CV 25% ; in poor metabolizers. The pharmacokinetics of the active moiety, after single and multiple doses, were similar in extensive and poor metabolizers, with an overall mean elimination half-life of about 20 hours. Special Populations Renal Impairment In patients with moderate to severe renal disease, clearance of the sum of risperidone and its active metabolite decreased by 60% compared to young healthy subjects. RISPERDAL doses should be reduced in patients with renal disease see PRECAUTIONS and DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION ; . Hepatic Impairment While the pharmacokinetics of risperidone in subjects with liver disease were comparable to those in young healthy subjects, the mean free fraction of risperidone in plasma was increased by about 35% because of the diminished concentration of both albumin and 1-acid glycoprotein. RISPERDAL doses should be reduced in patients with liver disease see PRECAUTIONS and DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION ; . Elderly In healthy elderly subjects, renal clearance of both risperidone and 9-hydroxyrisperidone was decreased, and elimination half-lives were prolonged compared to young healthy subjects. Dosing should be modified accordingly in the elderly patients see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION ; . Race and Gender Effects No specific pharmacokinetic study was conducted to investigate race and gender effects, but a population pharmacokinetic analysis did not identify important differences in the disposition of risperidone due to gender whether corrected for body weight or not ; or race. CLINICAL TRIALS Schizophrenia Short-Term Efficacy The efficacy of RISPERDAL in the treatment of schizophrenia was established in four short-term 4- to 8-week ; controlled trials of psychotic inpatients who met DSM-III-R criteria for schizophrenia. Several instruments were used for assessing psychiatric signs and symptoms in these studies, among them the Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale BPRS ; , a multi-item inventory of general psychopathology traditionally used to evaluate the effects of drug treatment in schizophrenia. The BPRS psychosis cluster conceptual disorganization, hallucinatory behavior, suspiciousness, and unusual thought content ; is considered a particularly useful subset for assessing actively psychotic schizophrenic patients. A second traditional assessment, the Clinical Global Impression CGI ; , reflects the impression of a skilled observer, fully familiar with the manifestations of schizophrenia, about the overall clinical state of the patient. In addition, the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale PANSS ; and the Scale for Assessing Negative Symptoms SANS ; were employed. The results of the trials follow: 1 ; In a 6-week, placebo-controlled trial n 160 ; involving titration of RISPERDAL in doses up to 10 mg day BID schedule ; , RISPERDAL was generally superior to placebo on the BPRS total score, on the BPRS psychosis cluster, and marginally superior to placebo on the SANS. 2 ; In an 8-week, placebo-controlled trial n 513 ; involving 4 fixed doses of RISPERDAL 2, 6, 10, and 16 mg day, on a BID schedule ; , all 4 RISPERDAL groups were generally superior to placebo on the BPRS total score, BPRS psychosis cluster, and CGI severity score; the 3 highest RISPERDAL dose groups were generally superior to placebo on the PANSS negative subscale. The most consistently positive responses on all measures were seen for the 6 mg dose group, and there was no suggestion of increased benefit from larger doses. 3 ; In an 8-week, dose comparison trial n 1356 ; involving 5 fixed doses of RISPERDAL 1, 4, 8, and 16 mg day, on a BID schedule ; , the four highest RISPERDAL dose groups were generally superior to the 1 mg RISPERDAL dose group on BPRS total score, BPRS psychosis cluster, and CGI severity score. None of the dose groups were superior to the 1 mg group on the PANSS negative subscale. The most consistently positive responses were seen for the 4 mg dose group. 4 ; In a 4-week, placebo-controlled dose comparison trial n 246 ; involving 2 fixed doses of RISPERDAL 4 and 8 mg day on a QD schedule ; , both RISPERDAL dose groups were generally superior to placebo on several PANSS measures, including a response measure 20% reduction in PANSS total score ; , PANSS total score, and the BPRS psychosis cluster derived from PANSS ; . The results were generally stronger for the 8 mg than for the 4 mg dose group.

Metabolisers. This is all in MIMS ANNUAL but not in what drug reps pass out. So it is not the doctors' fault and patient in USA sue the drug company successfully for failing to reveal this information, which they had in their possession forever. They fail to reveal it for commercial reasons and these problems are now coming home to roost in the form of litigation by state attorneys and individuals as well as class actions. As the rate of bipolar rose in USA and Australia, the DSM invented more catef gories to deal with this new epidemic without losing patients. A century ago, rapid-cycling bipolar disorder was not observed. Either classic nosologists, such as Kraepelin, simply missed it or it did not exist. The term was first coined in the 1970s to identify lithium nonresponders in randomized clinical trials; thereafter, rapid cycling became the subject of decades of further research, which has confirmed that rapid cycling is a factor in poor prognosis. Rapid-cycling patients do worse in follow-up than patients without rapid cycling, and they are also less likely to respond to treatment. The erroneous impression then arose that anticonvulsants, such as carbamazepine or divalproex, were more effective than lithium in treating rapid cycling. The error came from comparing studies using lithium alone against studies using anticonvulsants alone, without a direct comparison of the two treatments. Such comparisons need to be made head to head, in randomized studies. When these comparisons are performed with proper methods, anticonvulsants are seen to be about equivalent to lithium i.e., ineffective ; in treating rapid cycling 1, 2 ; . : ajp.psychiatryonline cgi content full 165 3 300 In bipolar disorder, one often has to wonder if it is medication-induced bipolar that is causing the problems, because the condition simply does not get better. But aside from these hazards, there are also grounds to question whether the treatment effects that some think have been demonstrated in bipolar disorder trials translate into therapeutic efficacy. If use of these agents based on demonstrated effects leads on to efficacy, admissions for bipolar disorder might be expected to fall, but the evidence for this is difficult to find. In North Wales before the advent of modern pharmacotherapy, patients with bipolar I disorder had on average four admissions every ten years. In contrast, against a background of a constant incidence of bipolar I disorder, and dramatic improvements in service provision, bipolar I patients show a 4-fold increase in the prevalence of admissions despite being treated with the very latest psychotropic medications. This is not ordinarily what happens when treatments "work, " but quite often is what happens when treatments have effects. From.

Altered consciousness was proportional to the mortality 10.5% ; . 75% had a good prognosis with a Revised trauma score of 4, of these 82.6% had ocular involvement of no neurological significance. Ocular involvement was present in all cases 2% ; with a revised trauma score of 0 to Conclusions: Sophisticated imaging techniques are now invaluable in localising neurological lesions. Clinical correlation of ophthalmic findings plays an important role in early localisation and management of head injury. Pupillary involvement, papilloedema and oculomotor paresis pointed to more severe injury . To our knowledge this is the first study correlating the ocular findings in head injury. 67. National survey of management of acquired nystagmus I Choudhuri, N Sarvananthan, I Gottlob University of Leicester and Leicester Royal Infirmary Background: Acquired nystagmus causes significant symptoms of visual reduction with oscillopsia. The management includes medical and surgical interventions but evidence for both options is sparse. Purpose: To establish the current management options used by ophthalmologists and neurologists in acquired nystagmus. Methods: A questionnaire was sent out to all ophthalmologists and neurologists in the UK. Names were obtained from The Royal College of Ophthalmologists and British Neurological Association. Information about patients seen with acquired nystagmus, treatment options and results of treatment was collected. Results: Ophthalmologists Out of 850 questionnaires 308 ophthalmologists replied. 177 respondents saw patients with acquired nystagmus. 150 respondents saw less than 5 patients annually and 28 saw more than 5 patients annually. Medical treatments included gabapentin 6 ; , baclofen 5 ; and memantine 1 ; . Botulinum toxin was used by 2 ophthalmologists. Neurologists 135 neurologists replied from a total of 434 questionnaires. 128 neurologists saw patients with acquired nystagmus. 20 neurologists saw less than five patients annually while 106 saw more than five. Medical treatments included baclofen 48 ; , gabapentin 48 ; , clonazepam 12 ; , memantine 3 ; , carbamazepine 5 ; , benzhexol 1 ; , ondansetrone 1 ; and buspirone 1 ; . Botulinum toxin was used by one neurologist. Overall, symptomatic improvement with medical treatment was noted by 11 ophthalmologists and 52 neurologists. Improved vision with medical treatments was seen by 11 ophthalmologists and 44 neurologists. Several side effects were reported with different treatments. Conclusion: We report the first national survey of treatment of acquired nystagmus. It highlights the need for evidence-based knowledge on treatment of acquired nystagmus. 68. Can eye movement recordings help diagnose the aetiology of nystagmus? P E Tesha, N Saravananthan, F A Proudlock, I Gottlob University of Leicester and Leicester Royal Infirmary Introduction: Nystagmus can be idiopathic or associated with low vision and often a cause is present such as optic nerve disease. Often extensive investigations are performed to establish the diagnosis. Aim: To assess whether eye movement recordings aid in the diagnosis of nystagmus. Method: 18 patients with nystagmus associated with retinal disease or low vision and 9 patients with idiopathic congenital nystagmus CIN ; . Ophthalmological and electrophysiological examinations were performed to establish a diagnosis. Infrared or electro-oculogram eye movement were obtained from all patients. Results: In patients with low vision, the clinical diagnosis was: achromatopsia 5 patients ; , congenital stationary night blindness 1 ; , congenital cataracts 3 ; , retinopathy of prematurity 2 ; , retinitis pigmentosa 1 ; , optic nerve hypoplasia 2 ; , optic disc coloboma 1 ; , macular coloboma 1 ; , Bardet Biedl syndrome 1 ; , and congenital stromal dystrophy 1 ; There were 9 patients with congenital idiopathic nystagmus in the good vision group. Analysis indicated that achromotopsia had fine typically 1 degree ; high frequency mean 8 Hz ; nystagmus. Where as patients with nystagmus and other associated disease had larger amplitude typically 6 degrees ; and lower frequency mean 4 Hz ; . Patients with CIN had a mean amplitude of 4 degrees and a nystagmus frequency of 3 Hz. 26% of the patients with retinal disease low vision had disconjugate nystagmus.

Mality, with a temporal relationship to drug administration which makes a causal relationship improbable, and in which other drugs, chemicals or underlying disease provide plausible explanations. Only certain and probable cases were considered for analysis and the data was subjected to descriptive analysis. Results A total of 557 patients including those who were transferred from other departments ; were admitted to the Department of Dermatology during the study period, of which 56 patients were diagnosed as cutaneous ADRs. Hence 8.25% of the hospitalized patients in the Department of Dermatology experienced cutaneous ADRs. According to the final causality assessment, one patient was classified under the category of certain, as rechallenge data was available this patient was a case of Fixed drug eruption to metronidazole who was administered the drug for the second time unknowingly ; , 45 as probably associated as only dechallenge data was available and 10 as having possible association with the drug, as dechallenge data was not available. Therefore, only the certain and probable category of patients were considered for analysis which accounted for 46 patients. The male: female ratio was 1: The maximum number of reactions were seen in patients in the age group of 21-40 years. Details of the clinical spectrum of cutaneous ADRs with the implicated drugs are presented in Table 1. Maculopapular rash was the most common manifestation of cutaneous ADRs accounting for 35% of patients, followed by TEN in 20%, SJS in 15%, urticaria and erythema multiforme in 7% each, and drug hypersensitivity syndrome DHS ; , photodermatitis, exfoliative dermatitis and fixed drug eruption FDE ; in 4% each. Antiepileptics, mainly phenytoin and carbamazepine were responsible for causing maximum number of maculopapular rash 56% ; , TEN 55% ; and SJS 43% ; . Urticaria was caused mainly by paracetamol and exfoliative dermatitis by phenytoin. Phenytoin and paracetamol produced a wide spectrum of cutaneous ADRs 4 types each ; . As a group, antiepileptics were implicated in the majority of the patients 44% ; , followed by chemotherapeutic agents 32% ; and NSAIDs 11% ; . Among antiepileptics phenytoin caused maximum number of ADRs 45% ; , followed by carbamazepine 30% ; . Among chemotherapeutic agents cotrimoxazole and dapsone were incriminated in many patients 21% each ; , followed by amoxicillin 14% ; . There was one death reported 2% ; due to SJS induced by leflunomide. Reaction time RT ; i.e. the time taken for the reaction to appear since the last exposure to the suspected drug was observed to be 2-7 days for maculopapular rash, 2-3 weeks for TEN, 1-3 weeks for SJS, 1-3 days for urticaria, 1-2 weeks for erythema multiforme, 1-4 weeks for DHS, 3-4 weeks for photodermatitis, 6 weeks for exfoliative dermatitis and 1 day for FDE. Discussion Hutchison described causality assessment as a "method for eliciting a state of information about a particular and rizatriptan.

Needs of illiterate women in informal employment, and encouraging women to acquire nontraditional skills, has been started in two cities with support from the ILO. New initiatives for legal literacy and general awareness have been started. The NCW initiated a countrywide Legal Awareness Programme for women in 1996 to impart practical knowledge on basic legal rights and remedies provided under various laws and to prepare them for real life challenges. The course curriculum has been revised in 2003-4 to include educational schemes, health programmes and economic development schemes of government. The camps are participative rather than academic and provide an opportunity to participants to come together to form Self Help Groups. Nutrition and health education of women has been intensified through innovative measures undertaken by the Food and Nutrition Board since 2000. SAXENA ET AL.

Engineering, Florida International University, 10555 W. Flagler Street, Miami, FL 33174, United States] - BRAIN TOPOGR. 2003 16 2 ; summ in ENGL This study evaluates the utility of 3-D localization of interictal spike activity on the electroencephalographs EEG ; superimposed on magnetic resonance imagery MRI ; in a pediatric population with extra-temporal lesional epileptic foci. 3-D software programming based on the CURRY platform a multimodal neuro-imaging software ; was adapted for analyzing scalp EEG data and reconstructing superimposed images in 10 children who underwent extensive presurgical evaluation for intractable partial seizures. The results of 3-D spike source localization were assessed in relationship to focal lesions evident on the patient's MRI scans. Calculated spike sources were closest to the lesions during intervals corresponding to the spike peaks. The information was useful in surgical planning in six children that underwent successful resections. 429. Electrophysiological characterization of spontaneous and carbamazepine-induced epileptic negative myoclonus in benign childhood epilepsy with centro-temporal spikes - Parmeggiani L., Seri S., Bonanni P. and Guerrini R. [R. Guerrini, Div. of Child Neurol. and Psychiatry, University of Pisa, IRCCS Fondazione Stella Maris, Via dei Giacinti 1, 56018 Calambrone, Pisa, Italy] CLIN. NEUROPHYSIOL. 2004 115 1 ; - summ in ENGL Objective: Epileptic negative myoclonus ENM ; , a transient muscular atonic phenomenon time-locked to epileptiform EEG abnormalities, is often observed in children with benign childhood epilepsy with centro-temporal spikes BECTS ; . In some, for unknown reasons, ENM can be worsened by carbamazepine CBZ ; . We describe two children aged 11 and 15 years, in whom CBZ precipitated seizure worsening and ENM. We investigated the morphological and topographic features of the EEG abnormalities while on CBZ and after CBZ withdrawal and compared them with those from 9 children with classical BECTS. The aim of the study was to identify possible electrophysiological specificities in patients who eventually develop ENM during CBZ treatment. Methods: The characterization of EEG abnormalities, related R ; and unrelated to ENM U ; , in patients with ENM and rolandic discharges RD ; and in matched controls with BECTS was performed based on polygraphic digital EEG recordings. Off-line time-domain analysis included correlation coefficient between EEG and Emg channels, quantitative analysis on ENM, and topographic analysis on spike-and-wave complexes. Z-score test and paired t test were used when appropriate for statistical analysis on R, U and RD. Results: Recordings in both children with BECTS and ENM while on CBZ showed frequent R discharges mean interval between R 19.89 9.4 s in patient 1; 2.16 1.2 s in patient 2 ; . Withdrawal of CBZ produced abatement of R no recorded in patient 1; 5.69 7.1 s in patient 2 ; and reduction of the slow wave component of R P 0.01 ; . Morphology and topography of R and RD differed in field distribution, amplitude P 0.01 ; and duration P 0.01 ; of the slow wave component. RD and U did not show a significantly different morphology and field distribution. Conclusions: Our findings suggest that an increased cortical inhibition could be the electrophysiological correlate of CBZ-induced ENM. If confirmed on a larger series, the presence of spike-wave rather than sharp waves ; discharges in children with BECTS might be used as an electrophysiological predictor of an abnormal response to CBZ. 2004 International Federation of Clinical Neurophysiology.
