Consensus Guidelines for Therapeutic Drug Monitoring in Neuropsychopharmacology: Update 2017
AbstractTherapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) is the quantification and interpretation of drug concentrations in blood to optimize pharmacotherapy. It considers the interindividual variability of pharmacokinetics and thus enables personalized pharmacotherapy. In psychiatry and neurology, patient populations that may particularly benefit from TDM are children and adolescents, pregnant women, elderly patients, individuals with intellectual disabilities, patients with substance abuse disorders, forensic psychiatric patients or patients with known or suspected pharmacokinetic abnormalities. Non-response at therapeutic doses, uncertain drug adherence, suboptimal tolerability, or pharmacokinetic drug…
Immuno-fluorescence cytochemistry on thin frozen sections of human substantia nigra for staining of monoamine oxidase A and monoamine oxidase B: a pilot study
Immunofluorescence cytochemistry on thin frozen sections of human substantia nigra for staining of MAO-A and MAO-B revealed that only about 10% of the melanin-containing neurons are positive for MAO-A, while they are substantially free of MAO-B.
