The aim of this review was to make an assessment of the state of the art and therapy of tranylcypromine. The recent medical-scientific literature is analyzed and discussed with respect to key aspects of and general trends in practical psychopharmacotherapy. Meta-analyses of controlled clinical studies have shown that tranylcypromine is an established approach to treatment-resistant depression. Doses (maximum dose, maintenance dose) are increasingly adapted to the requirements of treatment-resistant depression. Monoamine oxidase is not only the primary pharmacological target of tranylcypromine but determines for the first doses also the pharmacokinetics of tranylcypromine because monoamine oxidase is also an enantioselective drug-metabolizing enzyme of the monoamine oxidase inhibitor. An increased diversity of the antidepressant pharmacotherapy suggests the need to rethink the continuing assessment of tranylcypromine as a therapeutic \"ultima ratio\" in depression. In conclusion, tranylcypromine as a drug of second choice remains a valuable option in antidepressant treatment. Criteria of a switch from other antidepressant drugs to tranylcypromine should be better defined.</p>","PeriodicalId":12353,"journal":{"name":"Fortschritte Der Neurologie Psychiatrie","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-11-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138290713","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Invasive vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) as a long-term adjunctive treatment option has increasingly been used in the last years. VNS was CE-certified in the European Union for use in chronic and treatment-resistant depression in 2001. Method In this narrative literature review we provide an overview on VNS as a treatment option in patients with depression. We particularly focus on aspects with high clinical relevance. Results Indication to conduct VNS is determined after comprehensive evaluation of the patients' symptoms and psychiatric history. After education of patients and caregivers and obtaining informed consent, a pacemaker-like pulse generator is implanted in the left chest in a short surgical procedure. In the first weeks after implantation, the stimulation is turned on stepwise in an outpatient setting. The left vagal nerve is stimulated for 30 sec. every 5 minutes. Hoarseness during stimulation is the most frequent side-effect. There is a delay in the onset of antidepressant action of about 6-12 months. In a large registry, the cumulative response rate after 5 years was significantly higher (67.6%) in patients treated with VNS plus treatment-as-usual (TAU) than TAU alone (40.9%). Long-term benefits of VNS on quality of life, cognition, morbidity and mortality have been described previously. Conclusion VNS is a long-term safe treatment option in severely affected patients with depression with positive impact on depression severity, quality of life and cognitive function. Increase of monoaminergic transmission and anti-inflammatory effects of VNS are possible mechanisms of action.</p>","PeriodicalId":12353,"journal":{"name":"Fortschritte Der Neurologie Psychiatrie","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"92153427","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In particular, we aimed to evaluate patient satisfaction and feasibility.Initial presentations to our memory center for suspected dementia were evaluated in a standardized regular on-site setting (n=50) and in a standardized video consultation (n=40). In both settings, a neuropsychologist's and a physician's consultation were performed consecutively. Both groups were similarly distributed in terms of age and sex (71.4 vs. 72.3 years, 52 vs. 50% female (F2F vs. VC)). Cognitive status was slightly better in the VC group (ACE III significant, MMST not significant).In the survey of the patients using a 12-question inventory (patient satisfaction, rated 1 to 5), there was no significant difference between the two groups overall. However, the F2F tended to be rated slightly better here in terms of advice. More than 80% of the physicians and neuropsychologists rated the technical process of VC as good/very good.A general assessment of the cognitive deficits by physicians and neuropsychologists correlated extremely highly with the results of the subsequent specific testing (MMST and ACE) in F2F and VC. With a tendency to better agreement in VC, the difference between the correlations was not significant.Overall, we could not find any significant differences in patients' satisfaction between VC and classical F2F presentation.
