KAVA ( Piper methysticum ) - A REVIEW The Kava plant (Piper methysticum) is a robust, well-branching and erect perennial shrub belonging to the pepper family (Piperaceae). The botanical origin remains unknown, although it is likely that early Polynesian explorers brought the plant with them from island to island. Numerous varieties of Kava exist, and today it is widely cultivated in several Pacific Island countries both for local use as well as the rapidly growing demand for pharmaceutical preparations. The dried rhizomes (roots) are normally used. The first description to the western world of the ceremonial use of an intoxicating beverage prepared from Kava was made by Captain James Cook following his Pacific voyage in 1768. The drink, prepared as an infusion in an elaborate manner after first chewing the root, is consumed on formal occasions or meetings of village elders and chiefs, as well as in reconciling with enemies and on a more social basis. It remains an important social custom in many Pacific Island countries today. Most of the islands of the Pacific possessed Kava prior to European contact, particularly those encompassed by Polynesia, Melanesia and Micronesia. After drinking the Kava beverage a pleasantly relaxed and sociable state develops, after which a deep and restful sleep occurs.

Hallucinogens - LSD, Peyote, Psilocybin, and PCP
Information for Behavioral Health Providers in Primary Care Hallucinogens - LSD, Peyote, Psilocybin, and PCP What are Hallucinogens? Hallucinogenic compounds found in some plants and mushrooms (or their extracts) have been used— mostly during religious rituals—for centuries. Almost all hallucinogens contain nitrogen and are classified as alkaloids. Many hallucinogens have chemical structures similar to those of natural neurotransmitters (e.g., acetylcholine-, serotonin-, or catecholamine-like). While the exact mechanisms by which hallucinogens exert their effects remain unclear, research suggests that these drugs work, at least partially, by temporarily interfering with neurotransmitter action or by binding to their receptor sites. This InfoFacts will discuss four common types of hallucinogens: LSD (d-lysergic acid diethylamide) is one of the most potent mood-changing chemicals. It was discovered in 1938 and is manufactured from lysergic acid, which is found in ergot, a fungus that grows on rye and other grains. Peyote is a small, spineless cactus in which the principal active ingredient is mescaline. This plant has been used by natives in northern Mexico and the southwestern United States as a part of religious ceremonies. Mescaline can also be produced through chemical synthesis. Psilocybin (4-phosphoryloxy-N, N-dimethyltryptamine) is obtained from certain types of mushrooms that are indigenous to tropical and subtropical regions of South America, Mexico, and the United States. These mushrooms typically contain less than 0.5 percent psilocybin plus trace amounts of psilocin, another hallucinogenic substance. PCP (phencyclidine) was developed in the 1950s as an intravenous anesthetic. Its use has since been discontinued due to serious adverse effects. How Are Hallucinogens Abused? The very same characteristics that led to the incorporation of hallucinogens into ritualistic or spiritual traditions have also led to their propagation as drugs of abuse.

Hallucinogens and Dissociative Drugs
Long-Term Effects of Hallucinogens See page 5. from the director: Research Report Series Hallucinogens and dissociative drugs — which have street names like acid, angel dust, and vitamin K — distort the way a user perceives time, motion, colors, sounds, and self. These drugs can disrupt a person’s ability to think and communicate rationally, or even to recognize reality, sometimes resulting in bizarre or dangerous behavior. Hallucinogens such as LSD, psilocybin, peyote, DMT, and ayahuasca cause HALLUCINOGENS AND emotions to swing wildly and real-world sensations to appear unreal, sometimes frightening.

Yorkshire Palliative Medicine Clinical Guidelines Group Guidelines on the Use of Antiemetics Author(S): Dr Annette Edwards (Chai
Yorkshire Palliative Medicine Clinical Guidelines Group Guidelines on the use of Antiemetics Author(s): Dr Annette Edwards (Chair) and Deborah Royle on behalf of the Yorkshire Palliative Medicine Clinical Guidelines Group Overall objective : To provide guidance on the evidence for the use of antiemetics in specialist palliative care. Search Strategy: Search strategy: Medline, Embase and Cinahl databases were searched using the words nausea, vomit$, emesis, antiemetic and drug name. Review Date: March 2008 Competing interests: None declared Disclaimer: These guidelines are the property of the Yorkshire Palliative Medicine Clinical Guidelines Group. They are intended to be used by qualified, specialist palliative care professionals as an information resource. They should be used in the clinical context of each individual patient’s needs. The clinical guidelines group takes no responsibility for any consequences of any actions taken as a result of using these guidelines. Contact Details: Dr Annette Edwards, Macmillan Consultant in Palliative Medicine, Department of Palliative Medicine, Pinderfields General Hospital, Aberford Road, Wakefield, WF1 4DG Tel: 01924 212290 E-mail: [email protected] 1 Introduction: Nausea and vomiting are common symptoms in patients with advanced cancer. A careful history, examination and appropriate investigations may help to infer the pathophysiological mechanism involved. Where possible and clinically appropriate aetiological factors should be corrected. Antiemetics are chosen based on the likely mechanism and the neurotransmitters involved in the emetic pathway. However, a recent systematic review has highlighted that evidence for the management of nausea and vomiting in advanced cancer is sparse. (Glare 2004) The following drug and non-drug treatments were reviewed to assess the strength of evidence for their use as antiemetics with particular emphasis on their use in the palliative care population.

The Effects of Antipsychotic Treatment on Metabolic Function: a Systematic Review and Network Meta-Analysis
The effects of antipsychotic treatment on metabolic function: a systematic review and network meta-analysis Toby Pillinger, Robert McCutcheon, Luke Vano, Katherine Beck, Guy Hindley, Atheeshaan Arumuham, Yuya Mizuno, Sridhar Natesan, Orestis Efthimiou, Andrea Cipriani, Oliver Howes ****PROTOCOL**** Review questions 1. What is the magnitude of metabolic dysregulation (defined as alterations in fasting glucose, total cholesterol, low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, and triglyceride levels) and alterations in body weight and body mass index associated with short-term (‘acute’) antipsychotic treatment in individuals with schizophrenia? 2. Does baseline physiology (e.g. body weight) and demographics (e.g. age) of patients predict magnitude of antipsychotic-associated metabolic dysregulation? 3. Are alterations in metabolic parameters over time associated with alterations in degree of psychopathology? 1 Searches We plan to search EMBASE, PsycINFO, and MEDLINE from inception using the following terms: 1 (Acepromazine or Acetophenazine or Amisulpride or Aripiprazole or Asenapine or Benperidol or Blonanserin or Bromperidol or Butaperazine or Carpipramine or Chlorproethazine or Chlorpromazine or Chlorprothixene or Clocapramine or Clopenthixol or Clopentixol or Clothiapine or Clotiapine or Clozapine or Cyamemazine or Cyamepromazine or Dixyrazine or Droperidol or Fluanisone or Flupehenazine or Flupenthixol or Flupentixol or Fluphenazine or Fluspirilen or Fluspirilene or Haloperidol or Iloperidone
