The overall prevalence of depression and anxiety in DFU patients is compatible with other diabetic populations. Various parameters of ulcer severity and duration did not influence the probability of depression and anxiety occurrence. Depression in general was not associated with poorer ulcer treatment results.
Цель исследования. Выявление нарушения свертываемости плазмы крови у больных шизофренией и аффективным заболеванием в состоянии обострения с использованием теста тромбодинамики. Материал и методы. В исследование были включены 46 больных (все женщины), 32 из которых страдали шизофренией с приступообразным, приступообразно-прогредиентным или непрерывным течением (F20.00, F20.01, F20.02 по МКБ-10), 7 -малопрогредиентной шизофренией (шизотипическое расстройство, F21.3-21.4 по МКБ-10), 7 -аффективным заболеванием (F32.00, F32.3 по МКБ-10). Тест проводили на анализаторе Регистратор тромбодинамики Т-2 (ООО «Гемакор», Москва, Россия). Результаты. Впервые установлено, что для всей группы пациентов (n=46) тромбодинамические показатели скорости роста сгустка: начальная скорость (Vi), стационарная скорость (Vst) и скорректированная на спонтанные сгустки скорость (V) и величины сгустка на 30-й минуте теста тромбодинамики (Clot Size, CS) были достоверно выше нормы. Среднее значение времени появления спонтанного тромбообразования (Tsp) было статистически значимо меньше 30 мин (p<0,0001), что свидетельствует о быстром, спонтанном тромбообразовании. Среднее время задержки сгустка (Tlag) и плотность сгустка (Density, D) не отличались статистически значимо от нормы. Число измененных тромбодинамических показателей уменьшалось в следующей последовательности: шизофрения с разными типами течения > малопрогредиентная шизофрения с разными типами течения > аффективное заболевание, что соответствует более благоприятному течению аффективного заболевания по сравнению с шизофренией. Заключение. Тест тромбодинамики имеет хороший потенциал для внедрения в медицину в целях выявления повышенной свертываемости плазмы крови и повышенного риска развития тромботических осложнений у больных, а также для контроля нормализации гемостаза антиагрегантными или антикоагулянтными препаратами. Тест позволяет выявить склонность к гиперкоагуляционным состояниям на ранней стадии, когда другие методы еще недостаточно чувствительны. С помощью данного исследования выявлена повышенная свертываемость плазмы крови у больных шизофренией и аффективным заболеванием.Ключевые слова: шизофрения, аффективное заболевание, гемостаз, тромбодинамика, гиперкоагуляция.
Background: The prevalence of obesity and metabolic abnormalities is increased patients with mental disorders receiving psychopharmacotherapy, which significantly impairs their treatment adherence.Aims: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of metformin in prevention and treatment obesity and overweight in patients with mental disorders receiving antipsychotics.Materials and methods: This was an open-label, prospective, randomized, placebo-controlled study of female patients with mental disorders (age, 18 to 50). The patients were randomized into two groups in a 2:1 ratio: the treatment group received metformin and the control group received placebo. Metformin was administered at a starting dose of 500 mg daily, with subsequent up-titration every 2 weeks when necessary, up to 2000 mg daily. The treatment duration was 6 months.Results: Baseline BMI in the treatment group (N=62) was 27,3 [24,0; 30,4] kg/m2; it decreased to 26,0 [22,5; 30,5] kg/m2, p < 0.0001, Wilсoxon test) after 6 months of treatment. The patients receiving metformin decreased their body weight by 3 [-6; 0] kg, or -4,0 [-8; 0] %. In the placebo group (N=30), the baseline BMI was 27,5 [24,0; 32,0] kg/m2 and increased to 28,2 [25,8; 34,0] kg/m2 at 6 month (p=0.001, Wilсoxon test), or 3 [1; 6] kg. After 6 months of treatment, the difference in BMI between the metformin and placebo groups was significant (26,0 и 28,2 kg/m2, respectively, р=0,027, Mann-Withney test). Six (6) of 62 patients treated with metformin had side effects and were switched to an equivalent dose of prolonged release metformin, with reduction of side effects in 5 of them.Conclusions: The use of metformin in patients with mental disorders receiving antipsychotics allows for reduction or stabilization of body weight in 80% of cases, with ≥5% decrease of body weight in 44% of patients. It is recommended to start metformin at a dose of 500 mg daily with subsequent up-titration of up to 2000 mg if necessary.
IntroductionAntipsychotic-induced hyperpolactinemia (AIH) is associated with disturbing clinical symptoms, such as sexual dysfunctions, menstrual disorders and galactorrhea. Long-term studies of dopamine agonists in AIH are scarce.ObjectivesTo assess efficacy and safety of cabergoline use in psychiatric patients with AIH, including impact on sexual function and quality of life(QoL).MethodsIt was an open-labeled non-randomized naturalistic prospective comparison of cabergoline vs nо treatment in 84 chronic psychiatric patients (F/M = 77/7) with AIH. Cabergoline treatment was started in 44 patients, the сontrol group included 40 patients who rejected the treatment with cabergoline. For assessment of QoL, sexual dysfunction and other hyperprolactinemia symptoms, UKU side effects rating scale (UKU) and SF-36 were used.ResultsThe main and control groups were comparable on all main clinical and psychiatric characteristics. The effective cabergoline dose was 0,25-3 (median-0,5) mg weekly; total cabergoline exposure–534 patient-weeks. Normal prolactin levels were achieved after 4-44 (median-14) weeks in 95% of patients. At 3 months after cabergoline discontinuation, prolactin remained normal in 71%, and AIH recurred in 29% of patients. Prolactin normalization was associated with significant reduction of menstrual disorders, galactorrhea, improvement of UKU scores on sexual desire, orgastic dysfunction, total UKU score and SF-36 scores on subscales of social functioning (P = 0,006), role-emotional (P = 0,042), and mental health (P = 0,049). The rate of psychosis exacerbation in control group was higher than in the treatment group (37,5% vs 0%; P < 0,001).ConclusionsCabergoline is effective and safe in majority of AIH patients. Long-term cabergoline treatment is not associated with psychosis exacerbation. Beyond reversal of typical AIH symptoms, treatment with cabergolin improves sexual function and QoL.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.
