The treatment of depressive symptoms in patients affected by schizophrenia is often a concern for clinicians [2] due to potential interaction, in terms of safety and efficacy. Citalopram seems to be a safe SSRI as adjunctive treatment to Olanzapine because of the lack of interactions. We report a serendipitous finding showing that the adjunction of Citalopram to Olanzapine, led to disappearence of residual hallucinations and depersonalization symptoms in a few weeks.Mr A is a 27-year-old male, living in the community, with a 4-year history of schizophrenia,. He was treated with low doses of Olanzapine (10 mg/daily) since 2000 because of an intolerance to dose increments (weight gain and mydriasis).The persistence of sporadic hallucinations (commenting voices) and depersonalization symptoms (when he walked alone he felt his self leaving the body) was well tolerated by the patient. The social functioning was satisfactory: he had a protected job and was involved in a comprehensive rehabilitation programme.

Guillain Barré

Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is an acute demyelinating poliradioculopathy and autoimmune condition, with a fast rapid natural course, and with high disability and usually episodic immune treatment. Clinical features include areflexia, limb weakness and uncommonly, sensory loss proceeding to neuromuscular paralysis involving bulbar, facial and respiratory function with maximum severity of symptoms atin 2-4 weeks. The eEtiology of GBS is not incompletely understood, however, prognosis is usually good with early detection and prompt treatment. In thise paper, we present a unique case of comprehensive rehabilitation treatment for a pregnant woman with GBS atin the 8th week of pregnancy. On the basis of this case report, we discuss possible and safe rehabilitation treatment for women in the first trimester of pregnancy, with significantly weakened muscle strength, after stabilizsation of vital signs and immunotherapy. The paper describes comprehensive care provided to the pregnant woman with teraplegia, hyperstesia and dysphagia after stabiliszation of vital signs, which was conducted until delivery atin the 39th week of pregnancy.

Aim:The present study aimed to assess the clinical effects of ultrashort wave therapy combined with acupuncture and rehabilitation training on patients with dysphagia after stroke.Method:A total of 126 patients with stroke with dysphagia were randomly divided into an acupuncture group (control group: 63 patients) and a comprehensive rehabilitation training group (treatment group: 63 patients). The control group received rehabilitation training and acupuncture, whereas the treatment group received ultrashort wave therapy in addition to rehabilitation training and acupuncture (comprehensive rehabilitation training). The curative effect was evaluated using water-drinking test scores and swallowing quality of life scale (SWAL-QOL) scores before and after intervention. Additionally, the incidence of aspiration pneumonia was assessed in the two groups.Results:The water-drinking test scores in both groups were significantly better after 4 weeks of intervention than before intervention (P < 0.01); however, the improvement degree was significantly greater in the treatment group than in the control group (P < 0.01). The SWAL-QOL scores in both groups were significantly higher after intervention than before intervention (P < 0.05); however, the improvement degree was significantly greater in the treatment group than in the control group (P < 0.05). Moreover, the incidence of aspiration pneumonia was significantly lower in the treatment group than in the control group (P < 0.05).Conclusion:Comprehensive rehabilitation training can greatly improve dysphagia after stroke and can effectively reduce the incidence of aspiration pneumonia.
