Long Term Therapy

Endometriosis is a common disease, the diagnosis and treatment of which is still a matter of debate. One of the main symptoms of endometriosis -pelvic pain is a particular problem due to the difficulties in identifying the cause and the lack of sufficient effect from surgical and medical treatment. The literature review presents current data on the prevalence, clinical characteristics and methods of individualized therapy in patients with pelvic pain established or presumably associated with endometriosis.

Long Term Therapy

The literature on neuroleptics with substance-specific long-term effects (fluspirilene, penfluridol) is reviewed in tabular form. This is followed by a report of personal investigations on 76 schizophrenics who were treated with fluspirilene initially within the hospital and later on an out-patient basis, on 86 patients who were treated with it exclusively at the out-patients' department, as well as on 123 schizophrenic psychoses treated with penfluridol in the out-patients' department. The side-effects caused by the two substances are compared. Pre-requisites for effective long-term therapy with a few complications are discussed.

Since epilepsy is a chronic disease of the nervous system that requires long-term therapy and regular intake of antiepileptic drugs, good tolerability of therapy is crucial for the quality of life of these patients. The main aim of antiepileptic treatment is the creation of a balance between the efficacy and tolerability of therapy. This literature review analyzes tolerability and safety of antiepileptic therapy. We paid particular attention to valproate, a drug that has been used for the treatment of epilepsy for more than 57 years. Valproate remains a basic drug with high efficacy and well-studied safety and tolerability. This review also covers the problems of epilepsy aggravation in response to some antiepileptic drugs, effects of antiepileptic drugs on cognitive functions, behavior, and mental sphere, as well as the issues of tolerability and safety of antiepileptic drugs in women of reproductive age.

SummaryProblems with unfractionated heparin as an antithrombotic have led to the development of new therapeutic agents. Of these, low molecular weight heparin shows great promise and has led to out-patient therapy of DVT/PE in selected patients. Oral anticoagulants remain the choice for long-term therapy. More cost-effective ways to give oral anticoagulants are needed.
