    A review of the association between antipsychotic use and hyperprolactinaemia

    No full text
    Recent evidence linking hyperprolactinaemia to longer-term clinical sequelae, including osteoporosis, hip fractures and possibly breast cancer, is increasing clinical awareness of the relevance of hyperprolactinaemia. A review of the literature finds clinical trials reporting some degree of comparative prolactin data among antipsychotics. Many of the randomised clinical trials (RCTs) do not report categorical rates of hyperprolactinaemia in contrast with the naturalistic studies, making it complex for clinicians to evaluate the extent and severity of hyperprolactinaemia.Hyperprolactinaemia is one of the commonest adverse events reported in clinical trials and can be found in association with all antipsychotics. The highest rates of hyperprolactinaemia are reported in association with risperidone and amisulpride, often as high as 80-90% of all female subjects and consistently greater than with the typical antipsychotics. Significant rates of hyperprolactinaemia of lesser severity and more transience have also been reported in association with other atypical antipsychotics

    The collaborative arrangements of Alice Parker and Robert Shaw

    No full text
    Electronic Thesis or DissertationThis document is a comprehensive survey of the two hundred and twenty-three choral arrangements created in the collaboration between Alice Parker (b.1925) and Robert Shaw (1916-1999). This repertoire was written between 1950 and 1967 for seventeen RCA Victor recordings made by the Robert Shaw Chorale. Part I presents an overview of the music, title listings, and publisher information. Part II is a history of the collaboration, beginning with its genesis and the working relationship between the two. Their work occurred in the "Golden Age" of choral music in America and during the American folk music revival, both of which contributed to commercial album sales and the fame of Shaw and the Chorale. Part III describes the style of the arrangements, whose nineteen style characteristics are demonstrated in excerpts from six different songs. A detailed method developed by Dr. Parker for identifying distinguishing features of these arrangements is applied to one of the folk hymns. Over half of the Parker-Shaw arrangements are then compared in spreadsheets, found in Appendix III, with successive appendices presenting summaries of the results of the comparisons. This process reveals, among other things, the central role of melody and counterpoint in determining the nature of this music, and the arrangers' preference for working with melodies based on traditional church modes and gapped scales over those with strong tonal implications. Part IV demonstrates that the enduring quality of this repertoire can be credited principally to Shaw's comprehensive grasp of both classical and popular music, and Parker's mastery of Shaw's arranging technique. Also important were Parker and Shaw's continual desire to select folk-based music of high quality, to be faithful to the spirit of the melody and text, and to entertain the listener. The document concludes that Parker and Shaw's greatest contribution to the choral repertoire was in their arrangements of early American folk hymns. Though these folk hymns were originally not intended for choirs, the Parker-Shaw arrangements preserve the spirit of the original hymn while making full use of the resources of a four-part chorus, providing the choral world with a significant genre of excellent repertoire

    [Mrs. Thomas Shaw Safe's 'Ocean Lawn' Estate (Front) and Francis Taylor's 'Taylor Villa' Estate (Back), Newport, RI]

    No full text
    Ocean Lawn (along the Cliff Walk from Narragansett Avenue north), seen at center front, was built in 1889 for Elizabeth Amory Gammell, the second wife of Brown University professor William Gammell II; the Queen Anne and Tudor-style villa overlooking the Atlantic Ocean was designed by architects Peabody & Stearns. After Mrs. Gammell's death Ocean Lawn passed to her daughter, Mrs. Thomas Shaw Safe; Lady Helen Louise Gammell Herbert, youngest of the Gammell children, assumed ownership following the death of her sister. Possession of the estate next passed to Mrs. Safe's son, Kenneth Anthony Shaw Safe, and his wife, who owned Ocean Lawn between 1938 and 1946. Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin F. Fitch, the next owners, purchased the estate in 1947 and by the early 1950s had sold Ocean Lawn to Harvey Samuel Firestone Jr., president of Firestone Tire and Rubber Company, and his wife. Pittsburgh investor Robert Chute purchased the 22-acre estate in 1996; at present (2012), Ocean Lawn remains a private residence. Taylor Villa (Annandale Road near Narragansett Avenue), visible behind Ocean Lawn, was built in 1886 for New York businessman Henry Augustus Coit (H. A. C.) Taylor and his wife; the Colonial Revival-style cottage was designed by architects McKim, Mead & White. Following Mr. Taylor's death the estate passed to his sons; at the time of this photograph, Taylor Villa was owned by Mr. Taylor's grandson, Francis Taylor, and his wife, to whom it had been deeded following the death of his father, Moses Taylor. In 1952 the cottage was demolished and its grounds subdivided.
