Alcohol and Driving- Related Performance – a Comprehensive Meta-Analysis Focusing the Significance of the Non-Significant Alcohol and driving- related performance – A comprehensive meta-analysis focusing the significance of the non-significant Inaugural-Dissertation zur Erlangung der Doktorwürde der Philosophischen Fakultät II der Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg Vorgelegt von Dipl. Psych. Eva Schnabel aus Frankfurt/M. 2011 Erstgutachter: Prof. Dr. Hans-Peter Krüger Zweitgutachter: Prof. Dr. Mark Vollrath (TU Braunschweig) Tag des Kolloquiums: 07.03.2012 III ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The present meta-analysis, which was conducted at the Center for Traffic Sciences (IZVW) in Würzburg, Germany, was produced under the project DRUID (“Driving under the Influence of Drugs, Alcohol and Medicines”) and was part of Work Package 1 (“Methodology & Research”). The project was financed by the European Community within the EU 6th Framework Program and coordinated by the Federal Highway Research Institute in Germany (“Bundesanstalt für Straßenwesen”, BASt). This work would not have been possible without the support of many people. First of all, I extend special thanks to my doctoral adviser Prof. Hans-Peter Krüger for all the productive discussions, the helpful comments and suggestions, and the time and interest he dedicated to this work. I would also like to thank Prof. Günter Berghaus for the extremely pleasant contact and the good cooperation within the project. In addition, I like to thank the whole project team of BASt, in particular Dr. Horst Schulze and Dr. Anja Knoche for the good cooperation and for being host of all the agreeable and fruitful project meetings. I thank all of my colleagues and friends at the IZVW, especially Dr. Volker Hargutt, for a lot of good advice (not only concerning this work, but also concerning survival), his assistance, useful comments and creative suggestions. Without his never-ending encouragement, this work would never have been successfully completed. Also very special thanks to Martina Walter for being my fellow sufferer, for the congenial atmosphere in our shared office, the constructive comments, the many needed distractions, for being there whenever I have needed her and for her valued friendship. Thanks to Marcus Schmitz for many cups of strong coffee, for advice and support, for simply being there. Thanks to all other colleagues for the very pleasant time at work and outside of work. Thanks to all my friends for making sure I found time to relax and to experience valuable moments during this work. Finally, I am particularly grateful to my parents for their ongoing support throughout my life and for encouraging me in everything I do. The present work is dedicated to my father, who taught me endurance and always serves as an example to me.

  • Drugs That Act in the Cns
    DRUGS THAT ACT IN THE CNS Anxiolytic and Hypnotic Drugs Dr Karamallah S. Mahmood PhD Clinical Pharmacology 1 OTHER ANXIOLYTIC AGENTS/ A. Antidepressants Many antidepressants are effective in the treatment of chronic anxiety disorders and should be considered as first-line agents, especially in patients with concerns for addiction or dependence. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) or serotonin/norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs) may be used alone or prescribed in combination with a benzodiazepine. SSRIs and SNRIs have a lower potential for physical dependence than the benzodiazepines and have become first-line treatment for GAD. 2 OTHER ANXIOLYTIC AGENTS/ B. Buspirone Buspirone is useful for the chronic treatment of GAD and has an efficacy comparable to that of the benzodiazepines. It has a slow onset of action and is not effective for short-term or “as-needed” treatment of acute anxiety states. The actions of buspirone appear to be mediated by serotonin (5-HT1A) receptors, although it also displays some affinity for D2 dopamine receptors and 5-HT2A serotonin receptors. Buspirone lacks the anticonvulsant and muscle-relaxant properties of the benzodiazepines. 3 OTHER ANXIOLYTIC AGENTS B. Buspirone The frequency of adverse effects is low, with the most common effects being headaches, dizziness, nervousness, nausea, and light-headedness. Sedation and psychomotor and cognitive dysfunction are minimal, and dependence is unlikely. Buspirone does not potentiate the CNS depression of alcohol. 4 V. BARBITURATES The barbiturates were formerly the mainstay of treatment to sedate patients or to induce and maintain sleep. Today, they have been largely replaced by the benzodiazepines, primarily because barbiturates induce tolerance and physical dependence and are associated with very severe withdrawal symptoms.

  • The Effect of the Roots of Empathy Program on the Use of Psychotropic Medications Among Youth in Manitoba
    The effect of the Roots of Empathy program on the use of psychotropic medications among youth in Manitoba by Lindsey Dahl A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies of The University of Manitoba in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE Department of Community Health Sciences, Rady Faculty of Health Sciences, Max Rady College of Medicine University of Manitoba Winnipeg Copyright © 2017 by Lindsey Dahl Abstract Background: Psychotropic medications prescriptions to youth have increased. Roots of Empathy (ROE) is a social and emotional learning program that may influence the use of psychotropic medication. Methods: Administrative data was analyzed in a matched sample of children who received ROE during 2002/03 to 2012/13. Kaplan-Meier survival curves and Cox proportional hazard models were used to estimate the association between ROE and psychotropic medication dispensations. Results: Few significant differences were observed. Children who received ROE in kindergarten to grade 3 had a lower adjusted hazard for an anxiolytic dispensation. Children who received ROE in grade 7 to 8 had a higher hazard for an antipsychotic dispensation. Males who received the program had an increased hazard for an antipsychotic dispensation. Conclusion: There was no consistent differences in the likelihood of being dispensed a psychotropic medication between children who received ROE and children who did not in Manitoba. ii Acknowledgments I would like to first thank my thesis advisor Dr. Randy Fransoo of the Department of Community Health Sciences, Rady Faculty of Health Sciences, Max Rady College of Medicine at the University of Manitoba.

  • Acamprosate Pharmaceutical Form(S)/Strength: Gastro-Resistant Tablet P-RMS: IE/H/PSUR/0011/002 Date of FAR: 09.02.2012 4.3 Contraindications
    Core Safety Profile Active substance: Acamprosate Pharmaceutical form(s)/strength: Gastro-resistant tablet P-RMS: IE/H/PSUR/0011/002 Date of FAR: 09.02.2012 4.3 Contraindications {Tradename} is contraindicated in patients with hypersensitivity to acamprosate or to any of the excipients. Acamprosate is contraindicated in patients with renal impairment (serum creatinine >120 micromol/l), breastfeeding women (see section 4.6) 4.4 Special warnings and precautions for use The safety and efficacy of {Tradename} has not been established in patients younger than 18 years or older than 65 years. {Tradename} is therefore not recommended for use in these populations. The safety and efficacy of {Tradename} has not been established in patients with severe liver insufficiency (Childs-Pugh Classification C). Because the interrelationship between alcohol dependence, depression and suicidality is well recognised and complex, it is recommended that alcohol-dependent patients, including those treated with acamprosate, be monitored for respective symptoms. Abuse and dependence Non-clinical studies suggest that acamprosate has little or no abuse potential. No evidence of dependence on acamprosate was found in any clinical study thus demonstrating that acamprosate has no significant dependence potential. 4.5 Interaction with other medicinal products and other forms of interaction No change in the frequency of clinical and/or biological adverse reactions has been shown when acamprosate is used concomitantly with disulfiram, oxazepam, tetrabamate or meprobamate. In clinical trials, acamprosate has been safely administered in combination with antidepressants, anxiolytics, hypnotics and sedatives, and non-opioid analgesics. The concomitant intake of alcohol and {Tradename} does not affect the pharmacokinetics of either alcohol or acamprosate.
