Antipsychotics for patients with Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome.
Authors: Nutting S, Martin C, Prensner R, Francis A, Bellon A Abstract Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome (WPW) is a cardiac conduction abnormality characterized by ventricular contractions that appear sooner than the usual interval regulated by the atrioventricular (AV) node. It is commonly asymptomatic but in rare cases can lead to sudden cardiac death. Little is known about the cardiac effects of antipsychotics on patients with WPW. Here we review all the published information currently available on the use of neuroleptics in patients with this cardiac conduction anomaly. Only a few case reports and one con...

Understanding and Managing Treatment Adherence in Schizophrenia.
The objective of this paper is to present a narrative review which synthesizes the rates and predictors of medication nonadherence, as well as associated interventions, across schizophrenia, first episode psychosis and general medicine. Given the breadth of these topics, this paper does not aim to present a complete review of the data but rather a concise synthesis of several lines of research in order to provide a general framework for approaching this important topic. Overall, this paper identifies that rates and risk factors of nonadherence in schizophrenia are similar to those reported in general medicine. Rates of adh...

Effectiveness of Cognitive Training in an Intensive Outpatient First Episode Psychosis Program.
Authors: Murray A, Svendahl K, Lee S, Ramsay IS, Mooney ME Abstract Despite effective pharmacotherapy for positive symptoms of psychosis, cognitive deficits emerge early and are persistent. Efficacy studies have demonstrated cognitive training can produce improvement in cognition, symptoms, and functional outcomes for psychosis. A chart review of seventy-one first episode psychosis patients in a cognitive training program was designed to determine feasibility and effectiveness of the program in a non-research clinic setting. Cognitive testing data, symptom change, and re-hospitalization data were reviewed....
