Psychopharmacology (Berl). 2016; [epub ahead of print]. N-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-arachidonamide (AM404) is an anandamide transport inhibitor shown to reduce rewarding and relapse-inducing effects of nicotine in several animal models of tobacco dependence. However, the reinforcing/rewarding effects of AM404 are not clear. The authors investigated whether AM404 maintains self-administration behavior or reinstates extinguished drug seeking in squirrel monkeys. In monkeys with a history of anandamide or cocaine self- administration, we substituted injections of AM404 (1-100 μg/kg/injection). Using a 10-response, fixed-ratio schedule, self-administration behavior was maintained by AM404. Dose-response curves had inverted U shapes, with peak response rates occurring at a dose of 10 μg/kg/injection. In anandamide-experienced monkeys, we also demonstrated

Although circadian rhythm alterations and molecular mechanisms associated with neuropsychiatric conditions are an area of active investigation, success is limited so far, and further investigations are required. Thus, even though compelling evidence connects the circadian clock to addictive behaviour and vice-versa, yet the functional mechanism behind this interaction remains largely unknown. At the molecular level, multiple mechanisms have been proposed to link the circadian timing system to addiction. The molecular mechanism of the circadian Citation: Saad, L.; Zwiller, J.; clock consists of a transcriptional/translational feedback system, with several regulatory loops, that Kalsbeek, A.; Anglard, P.

  • Introduction
    1 INTRODUCTION Dissociative disorder (conversion disorder), is symptoms and signs affecting voluntary motor or sensory function that cannot be explained by a neurological or general medical condition1.The reported prevalence in the neurology clinics of unexplained symptoms among new patients is very high (between 30 and 60%) and affects between 0.011% and 0.5% of the general population2. Previous prevalence studies found incidence rates of 22 and 11 newly diagnosed cases per 100,000 person-years, in Iceland and US respectively3(Gelder et al 2001). In Western societies the rate of Dissociative disorder (conversion disorder), is 1%to 3% in outpatient psychiatry clinics, whereas in non- Western societies it is about 10%4(Carson et al 2000). Dissociative disorder (conversion disorder), may develop at any time between early childhood and late old age, it is reported to be most common between 15 and 35 years of age. Dissociative disorder (conversion disorder), is more prevalent among females compared to males, with a ratio between 2:1 and 10:15(Nimnuan et al 2001). Dissociative disorder (conversion disorder), is also more prevalent in rural areas, in developing countries, among people of low socioeconomic classes, among undereducated people ,and among those with relatively low medical knowledge6(snijders et al 2004). In our study, we study about socio-demographic profile of the Dissociative disorder (conversion disorder) in our tertiary care centre. As far as presentation of dissociative disorders (conversion disorder) is concerned, previous studies reported that almost any physical symptom can be produced but most 2 common manifestations are those of similar to motor manifestations of neurological disease, for example: paraparesis, pseudoseizures and aphonia2.

A recent pilot nonplacebo controlled study has shown Current Opinion in Otolaryngology & Head and Neck Surgery 2008, 16:1–4 promising results for treating laryngopharyngeal reflux symptoms with liquid alginate suspension. The role of cognitive behaviuoral therapy may hold hope for patients with refractory symptoms. A small randomized trial showed promising results for treating globus with speech therapy, but larger trials are required. There is no evidence for the use of antidepressants or anxiolytics. Summary After many decades of interest, the most popular organic theory that ‘A lump in the throat’ is reflux related is still challenged by lack of strong evidence for empiric antacid treatment of this symptom. Globus pharyngeus is a clinical diagnosis and not a diagnosis of exclusion and over investigating these patients is unnecessary.
