RESUMO
The modalities for prescribing a psychotropic (dose and choice of molecule) are currently unsatisfactory, which can lead to a lack of efficacy of the treatment associated with prolonged exposure of the patient to the symptoms of his or her illness and the side effects of the molecule. In order to improve the quality of treatment prescription, a part of the current biomedical research is dedicated to the development of pharmacogenetic tools for individualized prescription. In this guideline, we will present the genes of interest with level 1 clinical recommendations according to PharmGKB for the two major families of psychotropics: antipsychotics and antidepressants. For antipsychotics, there are CYP2D6 and CYP3A4, and for antidepressants, CYP2B6, CYP2D6, and CYP2C19. The study will focus on describing the role of each gene, presenting the variants that cause functional changes, and discussing the implications for prescriptions in clinical practice.
RESUMO
INTRODUCTION: A number of prescribed medicines have been reported in cases of drug-induced delusion, such as dopaminergic agents or psychostimulants. But to this day, most studies are based on a limited number of cases and focus on a few drug classes, so a clear overview of this topic remains difficult. To address this issue, we provide in this article a comprehensive analysis of drug-induced delusion, based on the World Health Organization (WHO) pharmacovigilance database. METHODS: We performed a disproportionality analysis of this database using the information component (IC). The IC compares observed and expected values to find associations between drugs and delusion, using disproportionate Bayesian reporting. An IC0.25 (lower end of the IC 95% credibility interval) > 0 is considered statistically significant. RESULTS: Here we present an analysis of 4559 suspected drug-induced delusion reports in the WHO pharmacovigilance database. These results identified 66 molecules statistically associated with delusion and an extensive analysis of confounding factors and coprescriptions was performed, using full database as background with an IC0.25 > 0. The main drug classes involved were antidepressants, antiepileptics, dopaminergic agents, opioids, antiinfective agents, benzodiazepines, anti-dementia drugs and psychostimulants. CONCLUSION: These results will help clinicians identify potential suspected drugs associated with delusion and decide which drug to discontinue and eventually lead to a re-evaluation of drug labels for some molecules.

OBJECTIVES: Long COVID is a major public health issue. Whether long COVID is comorbid with psychiatric disorders remains unclear. Here, we investigate the association between long COVID, psychiatric symptoms and psychiatric disorders. DESIGN: Cross-sectional. SETTINGS: Bicêtre Hospital, France, secondary care. PARTICIPANTS: One hundred seventy-seven patients admitted in intensive care unit during acute phase and/or reporting long COVID complaints were assessed 4 months after hospitalisation for an acute COVID. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Eight long COVID complaints were investigated: fatigue, respiratory and cognitive complaints, muscle weakness, pain, headache, paraesthesia and anosmia. The number of complaints, the presence/absence of each COVID-19 complaint as well as lung CT scan abnormalities and objective cognitive impairment) were considered. Self-reported psychiatric symptoms were assessed with questionnaires. Experienced psychiatrists assessed Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition-based diagnoses of psychiatric disorders. RESULTS: One hundred and fifteen (65%) patients had at least one long COVID complaint. The number of long COVID complaints was associated with psychiatric symptoms. The number of long COVID complaints was higher in patients with psychiatric disorders (mean (m) (SD)=2.47 (1.30), p<0.05), new-onset psychiatric disorders (m (SD)=2.41 (1.32), p<0.05) and significant suicide risk (m (SD)=2.67 (1.32), p<0.05) than in patients without any psychiatric disorder (m (SD)=1.43 (1.48)). Respiratory complaints were associated with a higher risk of psychiatric disorder and new-onset psychiatric disorder, and cognitive complaints were associated with a higher risk of psychiatric disorder. CONCLUSIONS: Long COVID is associated with psychiatric disorders, new-onset psychiatric disorders and suicide risk. Psychiatric disorders and suicide risk should be systematically assessed in patients with long COVID.

BACKGROUND: On November 13th, 2015, terrorist bomb explosions and gunshots occurred in Paris, France, with 129 people immediately killed, and more than 300 being injured. This article describes the staff organization, surgical management, and patterns of injuries in casualties who were referred to the Teaching European Hospital Georges Pompidou. METHODS: This study is a retrospective analysis of the pre-hospital response and the in-hospital response in our referral trauma center. Data for patient flow, resource use, patterns of injuries and outcomes were obtained by the review of electronic hospital records. RESULTS: Forty-one patients were referred to our center, and 22 requiring surgery were hospitalized for>24h. From November 14th at 0:41 A.M. to November 15th at 1:10 A.M., 23 surgical interventions were performed on 22 casualties. Gunshot injuries and/or shrapnel wounds were found in 45%, fractures in 45%, head trauma in 4.5%, and abdominal injuries in 14%. Soft-tissue and musculoskeletal injuries predominated in 77% of cases, peripheral nerve injury was identified in 30%. The mortality rate was 0% at last follow up. CONCLUSION: Rapid staff and logistical response, immediate access to operating rooms, and multidisciplinary surgical care delivery led to excellent short-term outcomes, with no in-hospital death and only one patient being still hospitalized 45days after the initial event.
