Depression in general practice : underrecognition? Overtreatment? Adequate care!
No full textDit proefschrift geeft een optimistisch beeld van de huidige zorg voor depressieve patiënten in de huisartsenpraktijk i.v.m. eerdere literatuur en mediaberichten. We concluderen dat, de zorg voor depressieve patiënten in de eerste lijn in het algemeen adequaat is, d.w.z. in overeenstemming met aanbevelingen uit geldende richtlijnen.
Ruim twee-derde van de depressieve patiënten werd door de huisarts herkend. Patiënten die psychische problemen met de huisarts bespraken, met meer depressieve symptomen en met tevens een angststoornis werden beter herkend. Het atypische symptoom toegenomen eetlust leidde tot slechtere herkenning.
58% van de depressieve patiënten werd verwezen voor psychologische of psychiatrische zorg. Huisartsen hielden de aanbevelingen voor verwijzing uit de richtlijn hierbij in het oog, patiënten met voorkeur voor psychotherapie, met chronische depressie of suïcidale neigingen werden vaker verwezen.
Ook behandeling met antidepressiva schrijven huisartsen volgens de richtlijn voor. Slechts bij 5,4% van de antidepressiva-gebruikers was sprake van overbehandeling. Bovendien was meer dan de helft van deze overbehandelde patiënten met een goede reden gestart, maar te lang doorbehandeld.
Uit een literatuur-review concludeerden wij dat aanbevelingen voor antidepressiva-gebruik gebaseerd zijn op voldoende bewijs v.w.b. acute behandeling en preventie van terugval gedurende enkele maanden, maar niet voor langdurige onderhoudsbehandeling.
Aanbevelingen voor onderhoudsbehandeling worden ook minder goed gevolgd. Het zijn niet, zoals de richtlijn voorschrijft, patiënten met een chronische of recidiverende depressie die onderhoudsbehandeling krijgen. Wel lijken het patiënten met een slechtere prognose: patiënten met tevens een angststoornis of dysthyme stoornis (langdurige ‘milde’ depressie), patiënten die naast antidepressiva ook kalmerende middelen gebruikten en met recente psychiatrische contacten.
Overall this thesis gives an optimistic picture of current care for depressed patients in primary care compared to previous literature and media reports. We conclude that, in general, the care for depressed patients in primary care is in most cases adequate, i.e. in accordance with ruling guideline recommendations.
The general practitioner recognized over two-thirds of depressed patients. Patients discussing psychological problems with the general practitioner, those with more depressive symptoms and with a concurrent anxiety disorder were better recognized. The atypical symptom increased appetite led to worse recognition.
58% of depressed patients were referred for psychological or psychiatric care. General practitioners took guideline recommendations into account in referring; patients with preference for psychotherapy, chronic depression or suicidal tendency were referred more often.
Treatment with antidepressants was also prescribed according to guideline recommendations. In only 5.4% of antidepressant users it could be called overtreatment. Furthermore, over half of these overtreated patients started with a good reason, but were treated too long according to guideline recommendations.
From review of the literature we conclude that guideline recommendations for antidepressant treatment are thoroughly evidence-based for acute treatment and relapse prevention during several months, but not for maintenance treatment.
Recommendations for maintenance treatment are also less often followed. Maintenance users are not, as the guideline prescribes, patients with chronic or recurrent depression. It does however seem that maintenance antidepressant users are those with a worse prognosis such as patients with comorbid dysthymia or anxiety and patients also receiving sedatives or patients with recent psychiatric contacts.
Liftings for noncomplete probability spaces

Recombinant human erythropoietin to target cognitive dysfunction in bipolar disorder: a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled phase 2 trial
No full textOBJECTIVE: Available drug treatments for bipolar disorder fail to reverse patients' cognitive deficits. Erythropoietin has neurotrophic actions and aids neurocognitive function. The aim of the study was to investigate the potential of erythropoietin to treat cognitive dysfunction in bipolar disorder.METHOD: Patients with an ICD-10 diagnosis of bipolar disorder in remission were randomized, with stratification by age and gender, to receive 8 weekly erythropoietin (40,000 IU) or saline (sodium chloride [NaCl], 0.9%) infusions in a double-blind, parallel-group design. The first patient was randomized in September 2009 and last assessment was completed in October 2012. Patients were assessed at baseline and at weeks 9 and 14. The primary outcome was change in verbal memory indexed by the total words recalled across Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test learning trials (I-V) from baseline to week 9; secondary outcomes were sustained attention and facial expression recognition; and tertiary outcomes were attention, executive function, subjective cognitive function, and mood. Analysis was by intention to treat, using repeated-measures analysis of covariance adjusted for stratification variables and mood. The statistical threshold for which results were considered significant was P ≤ .05 (2-tailed).RESULTS: 44 patients were randomized; given 1 dropout after baseline, results were analyzed for 43 patients (erythropoietin: n = 23; saline: n = 20). There was no significant improvement of verbal memory in erythropoietin versus saline groups (P = .10). However, erythropoietin enhanced sustained attention (P = .001), recognition of happy faces (P = .03), and speed of complex information processing across learning, attention, and executive function (P = .01). These effects occurred in absence of changes in simple reaction times or mood (P values ≥ .16) and were maintained after red blood cell normalization.CONCLUSIONS: This is the first trial investigating erythropoietin to treat cognitive dysfunction in bipolar disorder. The findings highlight erythropoietin as a candidate treatment for deficits in attention and executive function in bipolar disorder.TRIAL REGISTRATION: ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT00916552.</p

The magnetoelectric effect in LiFePO4 - revisited
No full textWe study the magnetoelectric effect in LiFePO4 using the pyrocurrent method to determine the magnetic -field-induced electric polarization as a function of temperature for various applied magnetic field strengths. We discover a diagonal magnetoelectric tensor element not previously reported. This new coupling reflects the emergence of an electric polarization along a induced by a magnetic field along the same direction and is consistent with the symmetry-imposed requirements for the small canting components of the magnetic ground state reported for this compound. Our observation is thus further evidence for a ground state which is not supported by the space group Pnma as originally assigned to LiFePO4.This article is published as Fogh, Ellen, Bastian Klemke, Alexandre Pages, Jiying Li, David Vaknin, Henrik M. Rønnow, Niels B. Christensen, and Rasmus Toft-Petersen. "The magnetoelectric effect in LiFePO4–revisited." Physica B: Condensed Matter 648 (2023): 414380.
