Triptans, Serotonin Agonists, and Serotonin Syndrome (Serotonin Toxicity): A ReviewEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
(Headache 2009;[bull][bull]:[bull][bull]-[bull][bull]) The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have suggested that fatal serotonin syndrome (SS) is possible with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and triptans: this warning affects millions of patients as these drugs are frequently given simultaneously. SS is a complex topic about which there is much misinformation. The misconception that 5-HT1A receptors can cause serious SS is still widely perpetuated, despite quality evidence that it is activation of the 5-HT2A receptor that is required for serious SS. This review considers SS involving serotonin agonists...

Neurological symptoms in patients with biopsy proven celiac diseaseEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
In celiac disease (CD), the gut is the typical manifestation site but atypical neurological presentations are thought to occur in 6 to 10% with cerebellar ataxia being the most frequent symptom. Most studies in this field are focused on patients under primary neurological care. To exclude such an observation bias, patients with biopsy proven celiac disease were screened for neurological disease. A total of 72 patients with biopsy proven celiac disease (CD) (mean age 51 ± 15 years, mean disease duration 8 ± 11 years) were recruited through advertisements. All participants adhered to a gluten-free diet. Patients were inter...

Streptococcal infection, Tourette syndrome, and OCD: Is there a connection?Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions: The present study does not support a strong relationship between streptococcal infections and neuropsychiatric syndromes such as obsessive-compulsive disorder and Tourette syndrome. However, it is possible that a weak association (or a stronger association in a small susceptible subpopulation) was not detected due to nondifferential misclassification of exposure and limited statistical power. The data are consistent with previous reports of greater rates of diagnosis of Tourette syndrome or tics in white populations. (Source: Neurology)
