CHAPTER 4. DRUG-FREE COMMUNITIES SUPPORT PROGRAM. In microdialysis studies, typical and atypical antipsychotic drugs most commonly produce relatively large increases in dopamine and its major metabolites, DOPAC and HVA, in either the prefrontal cortex or striatum, or in both of these brain regions Volonte et al., 1997; Westerink et al., 1998; Watanabe and Hagino, 1999 ; . In our experiment sertindole increased DOPAC, ziprasidone increase HVA and quetiapine increased both of the dopamine metabolites. This increase was enhanced after 8-OH-DPAT treatment. Systemic administration of sertindole enhanced dopamine release and extracellular concentration of DOPAC and HVA in the prefrontal cortex Watanabe and Hagino, 1999; Fink-Jensen, 2000 ; . In our experiments sertindole had no effect on the levels of HVA or on DOPAC. Earlier studies have quite consistently shown that 5-HT1A receptor agonists elicit dopamine release in the prefrontal cortex Bantiack et al., 2001 ; . In our experiments 8-OH-DPAT as a single treatment showed no effect on extracellular DOPAC, but increased the levels of HVA. Effect of atypical antipsychotics on glutamatergic system. MK-801, a noncompetitive NMDA receptor antagonist is known to modify locomotor activity in rodents in a dose-dependent manner Liljequist et al., 1991; gren and Goldstein, 1994; Mele et al., 1996; O`Neill et al., 1998; Ninan and Kulkarni 1998; 1999; Andin et al., 1999 ; . Acute administration of MK-801 in doses up to 0.1 mg kg has usually no effect on locomotor activity Carey et al., 1998; Jacobs et al., 2000 ; , which is in agreement with our previous unpublished results, according to which acute administration of MK-801 in doses 0.0250.1 mg kg did not affect locomotion in our open field test. In the present study, MK-801 0.1 mg kg ; was administered in eight independent experiments: it had no effect on horizontal locomotor activity in six experiments but reduced rears in one and increased in another experiment ; , and stimulated the vertical activity in two experiments out of eight. Thus, the 0.1 mg kg dose of MK-801 provides a borderline effect on locomotor activity rather in the direction of stimulation. This is similar to the results of different laboratories which had found in Wistar rats either no stimulation Druhan et al., 1993 ; or hyperactivity Robledo et al., 1991; Hargraves and Clein, 1992 ; in this dose-range. There is no obvious and clear explanation as to what are the reasons for MK-801 at this dose to elicit stimulation only in a few experiments. Haloperidol has been found to block completely the stimulation produced by MK-801 Maj et al., 1991; Losher and Honack, 1992; gren and Goldstein, 1994; Andin et al., 1999 ; , and this was found also in the present study at a dose level, which by itself, did not reduce locomotor activity. Interestingly, coadministration of MK-801, which in this specific experiment had no independent effect, and the locomotor activating dose of haloperidol further increased locomotor activity. This may suggest that low doses of haloperidol preferentially block a subpopulation of dopamine receptors, which inhibit locomotor activation, and this action is associated with glutamate release, which limits the activation. 58 and glipizide.

Or early school-leavers, but are very interested in the flashy visuals associated with computer games. So the central aim of the educational programme was to harness this energy on the part of the target group and to convert them from being consumers of leisure software into producers of leisure software. The recruitment of participants was probably one of the most interesting challenges to the project. Where do you get young unemployed computer gamers? In a way they are not the easiest group of people to find. A lot of them would have Nintendo or Saga systems that you can buy second-hand for 50 to 60. It was hard to target them so we put advertisements in places that they might go, particularly Easons and HMV. We put a lot of ads in the arcade halls in Dublin and we also ran ads in the games column of the National Newspapers, which were again pretty helpful to us. It was important that we were able to target the exact group that we needed, otherwise we would be loosing out on a key objective of the project. About 150 people made enquiries and we received applications from about half this number. After interviewing 35 of these, 25 participants were selected. Curriculum Development: Among the objectives of the programme was to develop a new curriculum suitable for the target group. We did this over a period of about three months. We were very conscious of the existing work done by Ballyfermot Senior College in computer animation and we sought to adapt the actual modules to suit the target group. Everything had to revolve around computer games to keep the participants interested and that was a big problem at the start. Over the first year we learnt a lot and we fine-tuned the course. The core elements included sound, storyboarding, computer graphics and game analysis. Additional elements, included communications and French. The former was included as we recognised that many of the participants had poorly developed social and communication skills. The inclusion of French was not very popular with participants but we felt it was important for a number of reasons including the transnational nature of the project, the international nature of the games business and the and micronase.

This will include choice of positive control, aspects regarding how or whether to blind a study, aspects regarding choice of baseline control and number of replicate ECGs. A discussion around the results of two individual studies and their design will help elucidate issues, and subsequent impact. Comparison of different designs Example of ECG collection and central reading Practical issues regarding study Malcolm Mitchell, Medical Advisor Clinical Pharmacology, Eli Lilly Afternoon Refreshments The timing of a "Thorough QT study" in the clinical development plan: A critical appraisal of ICH E14 and related publications ICH E14 stipulates early conduct of a "Thorough QT study" in the clinical development of an NCE as a critical decision milestone that influences the amount of ECG cardiac safety data to be collected in later stages of development. On the other hand, ICH E14 specifies trial design requirements e.g. maximisation of exposure to mimic clinical `worst case' scenarios ; that clearly require a detailed and comprehensive knowledge basis of the human metabolism, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, safety and tolerability to an extent, which usually is not available at the end of a traditional phase II development. Although these conflicting requirements are difficult to meet, they call for a careful reconsideration of the traditional clinical drug development process. Robert Hermann, Head of Clinical Pharmacology, Altana Pharma Getting the stats right for clinical QT safety assessment in light of the new guideline The new ICH E14 guideline has important statistical aspects, and in particular the primary endpoint of the Thorough QT QTc study, i.e. the maximum mean difference between placebo and the test drug, triggered substantial statistical research. This presentation will give practical guidance for the major statistical issues associated with this trial, and will show ways to cope with the new challenges.

And they increase bowel secretions. Senna eg, standardized senna concentrate, pure sennosides ; is the most commonly used stimulant laxative for OBD; in most cases it is very effective, especially when combined with docusate. Senna is a plant-derived anthraquinone and has been associated with dark pigmentation deposits in the colon melanosis coli ; , which is reversible on discontinuation. Bisacodyl, another stimulant, is associated with more abdominal cramping and diarrhea than senna. Both senna and bisacodyl appear to be safe for longterm use; however, overuse of stimulant laxatives can reduce colonic tone. When stimulants are used for OBD, a BM every other day to every 3 days may be adequate; therefore, daily use should not be needed. If diarrhea occurs with stimulant laxatives, the dosage should be decreased.16 Starting doses are 17.2 mg two 8.6-mg tabs ; for sennabased products and 5 to 10 mg day for bisacodyl. Their typical oral onset of action ranges from 6 to 12 hours rectal bisacodyl works within 1 hour ; , and the expected result of their action is the production of soft, formed stools.20, 21 Patients with OBD may not respond to the stimulant effect of senna or bisacodyl over time, or these agents may be less effective with continual use. These laxatives can also be cathartic and produce rapid evacuation, leading to dehydration and electrolyte disturbances.16. Ing that the occurrence of clinically significant drug intera c t i involving this isoenzyme should be unlikely.16 Ketoconazole 400 mg day ; , a potent CYP3A4 inhibitor, a d m i stered with ziprasione 40 mg day ; was found to increase the steady state mean plasma con c e n ziprasidone by 34%.19 The mean s plasma concentration of the s-methyldihyd ro z i p rasidone M9 ; m e thought to have both therapeutic activity and an effect on the QTc interval, was increased by 59%. This is postulated to be secon d a ry shift in metabolism tow a rds aldehyde ox i d the enzyme re s p onsible for pro d u c the M9 metabolite. While the sample size of this study was small N 14 ; and on ly re rted descriptively, t h e re appeared to be more adverse events seen with the com b i n ziprasidone and ketocon a zole 71% ; than with ziprasidone and placebo 30% ; . Dizziness was re p o rted in 36% of those receiving both drugs versus 8% receiving zipra s i d one alone. No data for QTc interval changes were included, other than the mention that no prolongation greater than 500 msec occurred and no treatment-emergent or significant changes in labora t o ry measures of vital signs were encountered. Similarly, data presented to the FDA for con c omitant ketocon a zole use re p o rted 39% and 55% increases in zipra s i d one and the M9 metabolite, respective ly.14 T h e was little change in the QT c interval during the use of ketocon a zo l Erythromycin, another commonly used CYP450-specific inhibitor, has not been systematically studied for concomitant use with ziprasidone. Even when employed alone, macrolide antibiotics can prolong QTc intervals by blocking potassium channels. This effect, however, most often occurs with high doses or intravenous administration.20, 21 Cases of TdP have been reported both for erythromycin and clarithromycin when used alone.22 Cimetidine is an H2 receptor antagonist, which is known to inhibit several isoforms of CYP450 including CYP3A4.23 At doses of 800 mg day, this nonspecific inhibitor increased ziprasidone plasma concentrations by only 6%, an amount that is unlikely to be clinically significant.17 In data presented to the FDA, cimetidine administration did increase the mean baseline QTc interval by 7.8 msec.14 Induction of ziprasidone metabolism by carbamazepine has also been studied. This report noted a modest decrease of 27% in plasma levels of ziprasidone; however, the impact of induction on levels of the active M9 metabolite was not reported.24 In the briefing paper presented to the FDA, carbamazepine administration resulted in a 4.4 msec increase in the Bazett corrected QTc interval.14 Other studies found no significant changes in and loperamide.
