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.

Introduction: The clinical characteristics, treatment strategies and outcome of patients with venous thromboembolism (VTE) may vary from country to country. Materials and methods: The RIETE (Registro Informatizado su la Enfermedad TromboEmbolica) is an ongoing, prospective registry of consecutive patients with acute, objectively confirmed, symptomatic VTE. Our aim was to assess the influence of surgery and immobility for non-surgical reasons on 3-month outcomes of all Italian patients registered in the RIETE. Results: Through July 2008, 21,397 patients with acute VTE were registered in the RIETE. Of these, 896 (4.2%) were Italian, and 360 (40%) presented with pulmonary embolism (PE). Overall, 137 (15%) developed VTE after surgery; 156 (17%) developed VTE after >4 days of immobility, and 603 (67%) developed VTE in the absence of surgery or immobility. Most patients (83%) received initial therapy with low-molecular-weight heparin; 15% received unfractionated heparin. For long-term therapy, 63% of patients received vitamin K antagonists. The incidence of fatal PE during the first 3 months of therapy was 1.5% for patients with postoperative VTE, 7.7% for who developed VTE after immobility, and 1.2% for the remaining patients. The incidence of fatal bleeding among these patients was 1.5%, 1.9% and 0.3%, respectively. Of the 137 patients with postoperative VTE, 61% had received VTE prophylaxis. Of the 156 patients with recent immobility, 24% had received VTE prophylaxis. Conclusions: VTE arising after a period of immobility was associated with the highest rates of fatal PE and fatal bleeding during the first 3 months of therapy. The use of thromboprophylaxis in this population should be improved.

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.
