The literature on pharmacologic treatments for postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) is inconsistent and unstandardized. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate choices in pharmacologic treatment options for POTS and the challenges encountered in the studies. We searched numerous databases like PubMed, Scopus, Embase, Web of Science, and Google Scholar for literature published before April 8, 2023. The search was done to retrieve potential peer-reviewed articles that explored drug therapy in POTS. Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines were used to conduct the systematic review. Of the 421 potential articles assessed, 17 met the inclusion criteria. Results demonstrated that pharmacologic treatment options for POTS were effective in reducing symptoms of POTS, but most of the studies were underpowered. Several were terminated due to various reasons. Midodrine ivabradine, bisoprolol, fludrocortisone, droxidopa, desmopressin, propranolol, modafinil, methylphenidate, and melatonin have been studied with positive impact but sample sizes that were low in the range of 10-50 subjects. Therefore, we concluded the treatment options effectively improve symptoms of POTS and increase orthostatic tolerance, but more evidence is needed as most studies had a low sample size and thus are underpowered.

Neuropsychiatry and Behavioral Pharmacology explores the neuropsychiatric consequences of congenital and acquired brain lesions and their appropriate pharmacologic treatment. The clinical problems addressed - practically, though always in a theoretical framework - are the severe behavioral disorders of children, of retarded people, of people with epilepsy, and of victims of traumatic brain injury. Topics examined include the neuropsychiatric and delayed neurobehavioral sequelae of traumatic brain injury, inadvertent drug effects, self-injurious behavior, Cornelia De Lange syndrome, autism, tardive dyskinesia, and childhood hyperactivity.

“In Tudor times, in the sixteenth century, the pantry could be described as the control center of the domestic economy. It was here that the countrywoman would store her precious herbs and spices, and make lotions, potions* and distillations. In doing so, she could be described as the family doctor, pharmacist, herbalist, perfumer, candlemaker and pest controller all rolled into one, and the health and well being of everyone in the household was her responsibility.” ~ Stephanie Donaldson, The Country Store *Note: Although "potion" is often referred to in the occult world, it's definition can also mean a liquid with healing properties. I love reading about women in history, how they lived and what they were responsible for. Something that has always interested me was that our female ancestors survived without modern stores and conveniences. They were well acquainted with herbal remedies to treat their ailing loved ones. Countess Juliana van Stolberg had her own private apothecary (pharmacy) inside her castle. Puritan women such as Anne Bradstreet were also skilled in the art of natural healing which was necessary in the primitive "New World". Not only were they educated in herbs and plants, but they created their own simple soaps, body care products, household cleaners and more. They were experts in food preservation methods such as fermenting and drying. They knew how to create distilled floral waters such as lavender and rose. They handcrafted beautiful items for their home such as herbal wreaths (to ward off certain insects and odors), they hand-poured their own candles and prepared colorful potpourri of various sorts. "In Elizabethan England it became customary for gentlewomen to write down the secrets of their household management in a book to pass on their skills from one generation to the next. As well as recipes, this book would include simple remedies, lotions and potions*, potpourris and polishes, many of which we would recognize and even keep in our pantry today." ~ Stephanie Donaldson, The Country Store The educated women of that day would write down their recipes to pass down to their daughters. Their knowledge of running a household was recorded in an "herbal". Though some remedies were undoubtedly based off superstition of the time, many were viable sources of medical information. source Would you like to reinvent this concept for modern use? Here are some ideas... Collect methods on how to make medicine out of basic pantry staples, how to prepare a poultice, how to treat a burn or how to soothe colic. We could record recipes for the bath and body such as lotions, balms and scrubs. We can incorporate instructions on how to ferment foods or prepare cultured dairy products. We can include practical recipes like homemade extracts, condiments (mayonnaise, ketchup) and other items that wouldn't be found in an ordinary cookbook. Another section might include how to dry herbs and how to utilize them. We can include tutorials on room sprays, candle-making and sweet smelling sachets... The object is to acquire a broad spectrum of knowledge for your household and document it into one place. Like our ancestors, we can pass down our favorites to our daughters and daughter-in-laws.

We remain challenged to improve treatments and outcomes in schizophrenia. Explore the latest options.
Abstract After decades of sociopolitical obstacles, the field of psychiatry is experiencing a revived interest in the use of hallucinogenic agents to treat brain disorders. Along with the use of ketamine for depression, recent pilot studies have highlighted the efficacy of classic serotonergic hallucinogens, such as lysergic acid diethylamide and psilocybin, in treating addiction, post-traumatic stress disorder, and anxiety. However, many basic pharmacological and toxicological questions remain unanswered with regard to these compounds. In this study, we discuss psychedelic medicine as well as the behavioral and toxicological effects of hallucinogenic drugs in zebrafish. We emphasize this aquatic organism as a model ideally suited to assess both the potential toxic and therapeutic effects of major known classes of hallucinogenic compounds. In addition, novel drugs with hallucinogenic properties can be efficiently screened using zebrafish models. Well-designed preclinical studies utilizing zebrafish can contribute to the reemerging treatment paradigm of psychedelic medicine, leading to new avenues of clinical exploration for psychiatric disorders.
