Obesity is an epidemic in this country and much of the rest of the developed world. It is a major contributor to a range of metabolic disorders responsible for much of the medical morbidity and mortality that burden our society. The combination of the costs to society of the chronic illness of schizophrenia with the costs of obesity and the chronic illnesses associated with it, e.g., metabolic disorders, diabetes, dyslipidemias, and cardiovascular disease, represents a major public health problem. Obesity in schizophrenia is accentuated even further largely through illness-related factors, like poor dietary conditions and more sedentary lifestyles, and particularly because many of the psychiatric medications antipsychotics, mood stabilizers, and antidepressants ; used to combat this devastating illness themselves result in weight gain that, if untreated, may result in the usual obesity-associated morbidity and mortality. This article is intended to review some of the physiology of obesity and obesityrelated metabolic disorders, the risks to schizophrenia patients engendered by obesity, the evidence for weight gain associated with the antipsychotic drugs, and the possible mechanisms involved in antipsychotic medicationassociated weight gain.

Several upgrades were completed during 2004-2005 including the replacement of valves on the main high pressure steam lines at numerous buildings on campus, extensive water main repairs campus wide, initiation of the installation of a third cooling tower for the university's chilled water system required for the increased number of keele campus buildings ; , and the replacement of main valves in the cooling distribution system.
Study objectives: The aim of this study was to determine the role of complement components in novel markers to assess which pleural effusion measured within different of complement activation, whether the pathway of activation is predominant diseases, and to find out analysis of complement components and their activation products could help in diagnostic procedure differentiating the etiologies of pleural effusion. Patients: The study population consisted of 71 patients who had pleural effusion secondary to tuberculosis n 23 ; , rheumatic disease n 10 ; , or malignancy n 38 ; . Measurements: Complement components and their activation products, including the soluble terminal complex SC5b-9, were measured in plasma and pleural fluid. Results: In all patients with rheumatic pleurisy, pleural fluid SC5b-9 was higher than 2 AU mL and in all patients with malignant pleural fluid it was lower than 2 AU mL. The mean level of SC5b-9 in rheumatic pleural effusion was also significantly higher than in tuberculosis. In addition, the concentrations of pleural fluid C3 and C4 were significantly lower and the ratio C4d C4 was significantly higher in rheumatic compared with tuberculous or malignant pleurisy. In plasma, both SC5b-9 and Cls-Clr-ClINH-complexes were significantly higher in rheumatic subjects than in other patients. In stepwise multinominal logistic regression analyses, the most SC5b-9 significant predictors for rheumatic pleural fluid were high pleural fluid activatedand low C4. Conclusions: These observations indicate that the complement cascade is through both the classic and the alternative pathways in rheumatic pleurisy. Determinations of SC5b-9 and C4d C4 in pleural fluid were the best variables differentiating rheumatic, tuberculous, and 1998; 114: 723-730 ; malignant effusions. CHEST.

The primary long-term endpoint is the first occurrence of death, atrial cardioversion, hospitalization for AF HF, or AAD change owing to AF prophylaxis failure or adverse events. These are some of the major adverse events that may occur in paced patients with SND. The rationale for choosing this composite endpoint was based on the expected event rate that should yield adequate statistical power described in the sample size paragraph. The criteria for heart failure hospitalization were need for supplemental oxygen therapy, need for repeated doses of intravenous diuretics, need for intravenous pressors or inotropes, poor response to more conservative outpatient therapy. Data on major clinical events were obtained at follow-up visits and, when necessary, by telephone.

Bjective: Multiple studies have examined the relationship between depression and coronary artery disease. Depression has been consistently associated with increased mortality after myocardial infarction and an increased risk of coronary artery disease has been found among depressed patients. There are little data about whether depression influences outcome after coronary revascularization. Great efforts and expense have been leveraged to improve the technical success of revascularization procedures in an attempt to improve patient outcomes, yet other factors independent of the procedure may deserve equal attention to further improve patient outcome. Depression and its relationship to outcome is particularly important because of its high prevalence in the population. Method: Consecutive patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention and coronary artery bypass surgery at the Mid-America Heart Institute were approached to participate in an observational study documenting the recovery of their health status after coronary revascularization. Assessments were done at baseline and 1 year and included measures of disease severity, depression, and disease-specific health status. Results: A total of 1, 271 patients were enrolled in this study 942 percutaneous coronary intervention, 329 coronary artery bypass surgery ; . Patients with depressive symptoms at baseline 21% of the sample ; had significantly higher mortality rates, poorer health status, poorer disease stability, higher rates of revascularization, and higher complication rates. Depressive symptoms were and questran.
Supplementation during acute presentation of alcoholic hepatitis does not appear to affect survival. Colchicine The final histologic stage in alcoholic liver disease is cirrhosis. Found to inhibit liver fibrosis in rats [96] , colchicine's anti-fibrotic activity presented a theoretical possibility of preventing liver fibrosis in humans. Three clinical trials in the setting of alcoholic hepatitis [97, 98] and a Cochrane database review in the setting of alcoholic and non-alcoholic liver fibrosis[99] fail to find a benefit in the treatment of alcoholic hepatitis with colchicine. Recently published and not included in the cochrane review, the largest trial studying long-term colchicine in the setting of alcoholic cirrhosis did not find a therapeutic benefit when compared to placebo, in concordance with prior literature[100]. Colchicine is not currently recommended for the treatment of alcoholic hepatitis. S-adenosyl-methionine SAMe, produced from methionine by adenosylmethionine synthetase, is important in the metabolism of nucleic acids, structure and function of cell membranes and as a precursor of glutathione. Glutathione may be protective in alcohol induced liver injury [101] . However, in liver disease there is an impairment of enzyme activation of methionine which cannot be corrected by methionine supplementation[102]. In the setting of alcoholic hepatitis, there is a measurable decrease in hepatic methionine, SAMe and glutathione levels [103] . In animal studies, administration of SAMe increased glutathione levels, attenuated ethanol induced liver injury as well as liver injury caused by other hepatotoxins[104-107]. In a 2001 Cochrane systematic review[108], SAMe has yet to consistently demonstrate a significant beneficial effect on the mortality in the setting of alcoholic liver disease. None of the analyzed trials in the systematic review targeted patients with alcoholic hepatitis. The largest multicenter and highest Jadad quality scoring trial, by Mato et al, treated patients with alcoholic cirrhosis with SAMe for up to two years[109]. There was an overall decline in mortality in the treatment group compared to placebo, but did not reach significance. Excluding patients with Child's C cirrhosis, however, did yield a significant mortality benefit. There are currently two NIH funded trials studying the effect of SAMe on the mortality in the setting of alcoholic cirrhosis. There has yet to be a trial studying the effect of SAMe administration on survival in the setting of acute alcoholic hepatitis. SAMe is currently not recommended in the treatment of acute alcoholic hepatitis. Propylthiouracil PTU ; Found to reduce hypoxic hepatocellular injury in ethanol fed rats [110], subsequent animal studies confirm PTU's protective role against oxidative and ischemic liver injury[111]; similar hepatic injuries are found in patients with alcoholic hepatitis[112]. In a 2001 Cochrane systematic review[113], PTU did.

Iron and diabetes tions of transferrin saturation 31 ; . Pilot data from the Jackson Heart Study shows a positive correlation between serum ferritin and fasting blood glucose and A1C r 0.15 ; , though no correlation has been found between transferrin saturation and glycemic status 32 ; . Because of these inconsistencies and absence of specific data on iron chelation or phlebotomy to reverse diabetes or improve glycemic control, it is difficult to draw firm conclusions on the link between iron overload and diabetes in African Americans. HCV, porphyria cutanea tarda, and diabetes. Recent studies have described not only a significantly increased risk for diabetes in patients with HCV infection 33, 34 ; but also its associated conditions such as porphyria cutanea tarda. In porphyria cutanea tarda, a cutaneous condition associated with increased iron overload, up to 87% of patients were glucose intolerant 35 ; . Further, HCV can adversely affect progression of kidney disease in patients with biopsy-proven diabetic nephropathy 36 ; . HCV infection is well known to be associated with an accumulation of iron in the liver parenchyma. Many patients with chronic HCV infection often have elevated serum iron, transferrin saturation, and ferritin levels, and a few have severe hepatic iron overload 37, 38 ; . This might suggest that iron overload has a role in the pathogenic link between HCV and accelerated end-organ damage in diabetes. Type 2 diabetes in mitochondrial iron overload. Friedreich's ataxia, an inherited neurodegenerative disease with a trinucleotide GAA ; hyperexpansion within the first intron of the Friedreich's ataxia gene FRDA ; , is a classic disorder associated with mitochondrial iron accumulation. FRDA encodes for a protein called frataxin, which has a specific association with the mitochondrial inner membrane and is involved in the formation of Fe-S clusters. Friedreich's ataxia is associated with a high incidence of type 2 diabetes 39 ; , suggesting a possible relation between mitochondrial iron accumulation leading to mitochondrial DNA damage and type 2 diabetes. Disruption of the frataxin gene in pancreatic -cells causes diabetes following cellular growth arrest and apoptosis, paralleled by an increase in reactive oxygen species in islets 40 ; . In turn, this leads to progressive damage to both mitochondrial and nuclear DNA 41 ; . Noted occurrence of diabetes in other disorders of mitochondrial DNA, such as Wolfram Syndrome 42 and quinidine.
