Thyroid Abnormalities

There are many reports that show different thyroid abnormalities in schizophrenia without clear establishment of their role in etiology and treatment outcome of schizophrenia. Among these reports, there are only a few that consider a role for thyroid hormones as augmenting agents in the treatment with antipsychotic drugs. This case report outlines symptom subsidence of a patient with clozapine refractory paranoid schizophrenia and normal thyroid function who added levothyroxine to clozapine and found that symptoms of psychosis returned once levothyroxine was discontinued. Although this observation needs to be confirmed in controlled clinical trials, we aimed to discuss possible hypothesized mechanisms underlying this observation.

Low Incidence

A case report of a possible interaction between indomethacin and warfarin is presented. The effect of warfarin on the prothrombin time (PT) was enhanced while indomethacin was given concurrently. Substitution of Ibuprofen for indomethacin resulted in the desired control of the prothrombin time. Based on the results of controlled clinical trials and on the rarity of case reports, there is probably an extremely low incidence of enhancement of warfarin-induced hypoprothrombinemia by indomethacin.

Infiltrating Ductal Carcinoma

A 46-year-old woman had an episode of atrial fibrillation during infusion of docetaxel as adjuvant chemotherapy for an infiltrating ductal carcinoma of the breast. All cardiological tests performed before treatment were normal and there was no evidence of thyroid dysfunction nor any objective or anamnestic data indicating acute or chronic cardiovascular disease. None of the drugs administered has ever shown any proarrhythmic activity. In controlled clinical trials docetaxel was found to have a very low cardiotoxicity.

Objective: To highlight the therapeutic potential of oestrogen in schizophrenia and raise awareness about the need for more clinical trials. Method: Case Report. Results: The case concerns a woman suffering from chronic paranoid schizophrenia, who complied poorly with antipsychotic medication and had severely impaired psychological and social functioning. Oestrogen therapy in the form of an oral contraceptive pill (brevinor- norethisterone/ ethinyloestradiol) was used with effect. Conclusions: Oestrogen therapy shows promise in select cases in the treatment of schizophrenia and warrants further study.
