DR. MASSIMO RICCIO Consultant Psychiatrist The Priory Hospital Roehampton primary health care are likely to be excessive drinkers so, given the average list size, every GP will see almost 400 excessive drinkers annually." While some patients will admit that they drink more than the recommended guidelines, others require rigorous assessment. If necessary, GPs can order blood tests, an MCV or liver function test to support their diagnosis. GPs should take a good alcohol history whenever a patient presents with depression, stress, anxiety, social difficulties or deterioration, absenteeism or poor performance. "The underlying alcohol problem needs to be resolved before addressing any comorbid psychiatric issues otherwise, treatment for the latter will be ineffective, " says Dr. Riccio. Explode the myth 37% of Priory Group's acute psychiatric patients were publicly-funded in 2003. The Group is recognised by all major private medical insurance companies and many addictions patients self-pay. According to a recent patient satisfaction survey, 96% of Priory patients stated that their care was `good', `very good' or `excellent'. "It's time to explode the myth that alcohol dependency can't be treated. In fact, alcohol dependency can be successfully treated at all stages from incipient dependency to fully-developed alcoholism if the person is willing to change, " says Dr. Riccio. "Priory hospitals have more addictions patients in treatment and deliver more individual treatments than any other UK provider, including up to one year of free patient aftercare for patients who successfully complete treatment." continued overleaf.

Table 1 ; 2 units of fresh-frozen plasma FFP ; were transfused. Except for propofol and fentanyl, no other medications were administered. Within 2 h after completion of the transfusion, partial oxygen pressure in arterial blood Pao2 ; rapidly decreased to 34 mm while the patient was mechanically ventilated with an oxygen fraction in inspired air Fio2 ; of 1.0 and arterial blood pressure decreased from 100 60 mm Hg Hg. No erythema or urticaria was noticeable. An oximetry pulmonary artery catheter was inserted. Auscultation of the chest revealed rales, and a chest radiograph was obtained Fig. 1 ; . Cardiac auscultation and an electrocardiogram were normal. Transesophageal echocardiography performed 45 min after transfusion showed normal myocardial function, intact heart valves, and no evidence of pericardial tamponade. The reaction started after the transfusion and when the FFP bags were no longer available for culture. Blood cultures remained sterile. Initial resuscitation procedures comprised mechanical ventilation with positive end-expiratory pressure 15 cm H2O ; , epinephrine Table 1 ; , 3000 mL IV fluids, muscle paralysis with vecuronium, meropenem, methylprednisolone, ranitidine, and clemastine. His mean arterial blood pressure increased from 40 mm Hg more than 60 mm Hg within 30 min and Pao2 increased from 34 mm Hg Fio2 of 1.0 ; within 2 h. Bleeding was controlled without any further intervention. The patient's condition improved within 25 h of transfusion and he was in excellent condition 1 yr after surgery. Granulocyte-reactive and agglutinating alloantibodies were detected in the serum of one of the two FFP donors using granulocyte and lymphocyte immunofluorescence and granulocyte agglutination tests. The cross-match with the patient's granulocytes and lymphocytes revealed antibodies specific for human leukocyte antigens HLA ; class I. Antibody specificity was confirmed by a glycoproteinspecific enzyme immunoassay MAIGA ; . 499.

Atrophic vaginitis Keep well hydrated: drink at least 1.5 L 3 US pints ; of clean filtered ; water daily. Avoid substances that dry the mucous membranes: these include antihistamines, alcohol, caffeine, diuretics. Wear clothes made from natural fibers, e.g. cotton, which allow the skin to breathe, thus preventing development of the hot, moist environment that favors vaginal infections. Regular intercourse: frequent sex increases blood flow to vaginal tissues, thus helping to improve tone and lubrication. If needed, maintain good lubrication with oil or K-Y jelly. Bladder infections Drink large quantities of fluids at least 2 L [4 pints] q.d. ; , including at least 0.5 L 1 US pint ; of unsweetened cranberry juice or 0.25 L 8 US blueberry juice each day to: enhance the flow of urine by maintaining good hydration prevent bacterial adherence to the lining of the bladder. In order for bacteria to infect, they must first adhere to the mucosal lining of the urethra and bladder. Components found in cranberry and blueberry juice reduce the ability of Escherichia coli to adhere. Minimize consumption of sugars and refined foods: consuming 75 g 3 sugar in one sitting in any form sucrose, honey, fruit juice ; depresses white immune ; cell activity by 50% for 15 hours, thus significantly increasing susceptibility to infection. For more detailed information, including several botanical medicines that can be employed against bladder infections, see the chapter on Cystitis. Cold hands and feet The three major causes of cold hands and feet are hypothyroidism, low iron levels in the body, and poor circulation!

Discussion and diagnosis The differential diagnosis of whitish opacities in the lamellar interface following LASIK includes DLK, epithelial ingrowth, and microbial keratitis. DLK is a culture-negative inflammatory infiltrate that appears within days of the procedure. It appears as a white diffuse granular infiltrate limited to the interface that starts peripherally grade I ; , spreads centrally grade II ; , and may form clumps grade III ; with anterior chamber reaction grade IV ; . Epithelial ingrowth causes more smooth discrete-appearing peripheral patches with no associated inflammation. Microbial keratitis typically has a single dominant focus that invades the flap and stromal bed with significant conjunctival and anterior chamber reaction. It is usually bacterial or fungal. Microbial keratitis is a rare 1 in 1, 000 to 5, 000 cases ; but potentially devastating complication of LASIK. Causative organisms include Staphylococcus aureus, coagulase-negative staphylococcus, Streptococcus viridans, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and several atypical organisms, including mycobacteria, norcardia, fungus, and even Acanthamoeba. The nature and course of these infections are dependent on the pathogenicity of the causative organism and are similar to cases of keratitis in unoperated eyes. Dry eyes and blepharitis may increase the risk of postoperative infection.1 Given the subacute presentation of this case, a differential diagnosis of mycobacterial versus fungal keratitis was made. The flap was lifted, scraped, and irrigated. Cultures were taken on chocolate agar, Sabouraud's dextrose agar, Lwenstein-Jensen media, thioglycollate broth, and Middlebrook 7H9 broth. Initial stains were positive for acid-fast bacilli and negative for other bacteria and fungus. Treatment was started with intensive topical amikacin 10 mg ml ; , levofloxacin 0.5% ; , clarithromycin 10 mg ml ; , and prrdnisolone acetate 1% ; . Following an initial improvement in the infiltrate, an epithelial defect formed, and the infiltrate worsened. Twelve days after presentation, the flap was again lifted, irrigated, and cultured. At this time, the initial cultures grew Mycobacterium abscessus sensitive to amikacin, clarithromycin, and. Figure 1. Structure of prednisolonw C21H28O5, Molecular weight: 360.4. Therapeutic Indication, Dose, and Therapeutic Index Prednjsolone is a well-known corticosteroid that is used to treat a wide variety of acute and chronic disorders, including arthritis, asthma, allergic diseases, hepatitis, congenital adrenal hyperplasia, systemic lupus erythematosus and certain haematological, infectious, cardiac, dermal, neurological, metabolic, gastrointestinal GI ; diseases as well as malignant diseases and many inflammatory states.[10-14] Furthermore, prednisolone is used intravenously at very high doses for the treatment of severe shock.[14] Prednisolonw is used over a wide dose range. Low dose corticosteroid therapy is considered to include doses up to 10 mg prednisolone per day, being most commonly prescribed at approximately 5-7.5 mg day. The dosage must be individualized and is highly variable depending on the nature and severity of the disease, and on patient response. There is no absolute maximum dosage, however, intensity and frequency of adverse events is observed to rise with increasing dose. P4ednisolone is not considered to be a narrow therapeutic index drug and there is generally no need to monitor blood levels. However, for severe diseases that require very high doses of prednisolone, a monitoring of blood levels may be advisable.[14] A special consideration that should be given in prednisolone therapy is to follow appropriate procedures for withdrawing chronically treated patients from high doses of the drug. The strategy to withdraw the patient from systemic corticosteroids depends on the period of treatment and the likelihood of the disease to relapse. In patients who have received systemic corticosteroids for more than 3 weeks at high doses, withdrawal should be gradual[14], [15] in order to allow the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal HPA ; axis to recover. Abrupt withdrawal of systemic corticosteroid treatment which has continued for up to 3 weeks may be appropriate if the disease is unlikely to relapse[16], [17] and is unlikely to lead to clinically relevant HPA-axis suppression.[18] In cases where a dose tapering schedule is appropriate, up to date recommendations can be found in the recent literature.[14] Low dose corticosteroid therapy can generally be terminated without dose tapering although a gradual withdrawal is often recommended. PHYSICO-CHEMICAL PROPERTIES Esters and Salts Several esters of prednisolone are available. Apart from prednisolone itself, the USP 28 includes prednisolone acetate, prednisolone hemisuccinate, prednisolone sodium phosphate, prednisolone sodium succinate, and prednisolone tebutate, [19] while the EP 5th edition monographs prednisolone acetate, prednisolone pivalate, and prednisolone sodium. Cluster headache is usually managed by neurologists or headache specialists in a specialist setting. Since cluster headache is of short duration, abortive treatment must be rapid in onset, and thus oral formulations are of limited value. Successfully used drugs include the following: 35 Subcutaneous sumatriptan 6 mg ; is very effective against cluster headache and is the abortive treatment of choice.155 Nasal spray sumatriptan 20 mg ; is also effective.156 However, oral triptans are relatively ineffective. Oral zolmitriptan 5 mg ; has only modest efficacy against episodic cluster headache, much lower than subcutaneous sumatriptan or oxygen.157 Inhalation of high-flow-rate oxygen is also effective as an abortive treatment in about 70% of patients, usually within 510 minutes of dosing.158, 159 Nasally applied lignocaine is a useful adjunct to other abortive therapies.35 Prophylaxis is the mainstay of cluster headache management, initiated at the beginning of a new cluster period. The following drugs have been shown to be effective: Corticosteroids prednisolone ; , methysergide and ergotamine can be used for short-term prophylaxis. Prednisolone can provide relief for chronic cluster attacks or cover the introduction of medication at the beginning of a cluster period. Verapamil and lithium are used for long-term prophylaxis.35.

PD Hinduja National Hopsital & Medical Research Center, Mumbai, India Abstract Catastrophic epilepsies of infancy include several syndromes with disabling frequent seizures and development delay. They include specific epileptic encephalopathies like West and Dravet's syndrome, and less specific symptomatic partial and generalised epilepsies secondary to certain etiologies like tuberous sclerosis, Sturge Weber syndrome, focal cortical dysplasia and hemimegalencephaly. Effective treatment should control seizures and improve EEG abnormalities. Current treatment options are presented. Catastrophic epilepsies of infancy include several syndromes with not only disabling frequent seizures but also major effects on normal development. Many of these are specific epileptic encephalopathies like West and Dravet's syndrome with age-dependant expression, predictable responses to antiepileptic drugs and expected outcomes. Sometimes less specific symptomatic partial and generalised epilepsies may have a similar catastrophic course especially if these are secondary to certain etiologies like tuberous sclerosis, Sturge Weber syndrome, focal cortical dysplasia and hemimegalencephaly. Management is a daunting task as an effective treatment should not only control seizures and status epilepticus, but also improve EEG abnormalities if any meaningful gains in development are to be made. The disorders discussed here include the early infantile epileptic encephalopathies with suppression - burst EIEE, Ohtahara's syndrome ; , early myoclonic encephalopathy EME, Aicardi's syndrome ; , West syndrome, Dravet's and related syndromes, malignant migrating partial seizures of infancy Coppola ; , remote symptomatic partial and generalized epilepsies. EARLY INFANTILE EPILEPTIC ENCEPHALOPATHIES WITH SUPPRESSION - BURST EIEE, OHTAHARA's SYNDROME ; , EARLY MYOCLONIC ENCEPHALOPATHY EME, AICARDI'S SYNDROME ; There is no effective therapy for EIEE and EME. Antiepileptic drugs and even ACTH and steroids cannot alter the poor prognosis. Some seizure reduction has been reported in case reports of EIEE with phenobarbital, zonisamide1 and pyridoxine.2 EIEE is often due to structural brain diseases and surgical resections have been shown to be beneficial in hemimegalencephaly and focal cortical dysplasia.3 EME has a more dismal outcome despite all treatments. Trying pyridoxine however, is always justified in cases of EME. WEST SYNDROME Major advances in management include the use of ACTH-7 1958 ; , vigabatrin8-10 1990 ; and the concept that focal lesions often underlie this `generalised' syndrome and therefore being amenable to surgical resection.11 There is still no clear agreement in which agent to use initially, with ACTH being popular in the USA and Taiwan, vigabatrin in Europe and Korea, and pyridoxine in Japan. In India and other developing countries, prednisolone and valproate are used frequently probably because of low cost and easy availability. There is a spontaneous remission rate in West syndrome of about 25% by 1 year of onset12 and this must be taken into account when evaluating new antiepileptic drugs. Standard dose prednisone has been shown to have lower response rates 29-33% ; compared to ACTH 2-87% ; in two randomized controlled trials, 5, though results reached significance in only one.5 On further analysis it is apparent that ACTH given within a month of onset of spasms has a higher response rate than if it is given later. In a recent study using higher doses of prednisone 0 mg day ; , response rates were similar between ACTH 76% ; and prednisone 70% ; .6, 7 ACTH dosage, treatment duration and what type of preparation to use are areas of debate. Natural ACTH is less potent than it's synthetic form, and has fewer adverse effects; hence dosage.

Chronic skin conditions treated with prednisolone include dermatitis herpetiformis, pemphigus, severe psoriasis and severe seborrheic dermatitis. Prednisolone is in the fda pregnancy category this means that it is not known whether prednisolone will harm an unborn baby.
