Article Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine what side effects were most associated with medication nonadherence as reported by adolescents and young adults with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). A combination of multiple linear regression and chi-square automatic interaction detection techniques were utilized in analyzing the survey data responses of 157 adolescents and young adults with ADHD. The mean number of side effects reported was  = 10.33 side effects with 77% of the sample reporting at least one side effect. In aggregate, the number or severity of side effects were not significantly associated with medication nonadherence. Rather, it was the severity of particular side effects, upset stomach and vomiting, which were significantly associated with medication nonadherence. Health care providers should utilize this information as an indicator that medication nonadherence will be an issue when these side effects are present.

The adverse effects of Western diets (WD), high in both fat and simple sugars, which contribute to obesity and related disorders, have been extensively studied in laboratory rodents, but not in non-laboratory animals, which limits the scope of conclusions. Unlike laboratory mice or rats, non-laboratory rodents that reduce body mass for winter do not become obese when fed a high-fat diet. However, it is not known whether these rodents are also resistant to the adverse effects of WD.

Background: Delirium derived from dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB), and the risk of drug hypersensitivity derived from DLB is not well recognized in oncology. To avoid severe side effects caused by antipsychotics, these risks need to be carefully considered by health care providers involved in cancer treatment. The objective of this study is to report the presence of DLB-derived delirium, which is often mixed with ordinary delirium, and its associated hidden risk in cancer treatment.

Background: Neuropathic pain (NP) is frequently resistant to conventional treatments. Botulinum toxin type A (BT-A) is a recommended option for focal peripheral NP, but the dynamics of its effect in real-life conditions remain poorly characterized.

Objective: To assess BT-A efficacy in a real-world study of patients with focal peripheral NP, over a 1-year follow-up period.
