    Notes: Abstract There is little agreement about the methodology of clinical trials of antipsychotic drugs in patients with negative symptoms. A literature review revealed wide variation in experimental design, rating scales and study duration. This reflects differing views as to the definition and response to treatment of negative symptoms. Some degree of standardization would improve comparability of studies and aid the development of new compounds. Patients included in such studies should have displayed negative symptoms for at least 6 months. Depressive symptoms, positive schizophrenic symptoms and extrapyramidal signs may all influence or be confused with negative symptoms and may respond to treatment; they should be at a low level at baseline and should be measured during the study period. Studies should last at least 8 weeks. Several scales are available for measuring negative symptoms and are reviewed; a global impression score should be used additionally.

    Notes: Summary A study was carried out involving 134 neurotic-depressive inpatients (according to ICD-9) treated with cognitive behaviour therapy and in a subgroup additionally with antidepressants. Using standardized rating instruments, a large set of potential predictor variables was tested. After cross-validation according to the splithalf technique, only very few of these proved to be suitable as predictors for the main outcome criteria. These predictors included certain aspects of social functioning before index admission, intensity of depressive symptoms at admission and the degree of self-evaluated mood disturbances three weeks after admission. Several predictors known from the literature could not be reproduced in this study, demonstrating the well-known instability of most predictor findings. On the other side, the predictor profile of the neurotic-depressive patients was quite similar to that found in endogenous depressives, a result which might — together with other findings, such as the response of neurotic depressives to antidepressants — question the traditional subclassification of functional depressive states into these subgroups.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Für eine Stichprobe von 295 Patienten nach einem Suizidversuch — in 94% durch Intoxikation — zeigte das Merkmal einer schweren, ohne ärztliche Hilfe tödlich verlaufenden Vergiftung (15,3% der Gesamtstichprobe) signifikante Zusammenhänge zu Charakteristika, die in der Literatur bei Suizidenten gehäuft gefunden wurden. Die Einschätzung eines starken Sterbewunsches der Patienten (bei 47,3%) durch die Untersucher zeigte signifikante Zusammenhänge zu weitgehend den gleichen Merkmalen der untersuchten Population. Eine schwere Vergiftung sowie eine als hoch eingeschätzte Sterbeintention wiesen deutliche Zusammenhänge zu der während des stationären Aufenthaltes erfolgten und für die anschließende Weiterbehandlung vorgeschlagene Betreuung auf.
    Notes: Summary In 15.3% of 295 hospitalized suicide attempters (94% with intoxication) severe intoxication that would have had a lethal outcome without medical treatment was significantly associated with previously described factors characterizing persons who committed suicide. A strong death wish (47.3%), as judged by physicians, was highly associated with almost the same factors. A high degree of physical harm and a firm intention to die correlated significantly with the intensity of care during hospitalization and after discharge from the emergency unit.

    Notes: Summary The antidepressant activity of monoamine oxidase inhibitors has been well established for 30 years. Nevertheless, this group of compounds was handled with great care, mainly because of the interaction potential with tyramine-containing foodstuff. With the discovery of reversible and selective inhibitors of monoamine oxidase type A a renaissance of these compounds has begun. In this paper one of these new substances — brofaromine — will be described in detail. Biochemical and pharmacological aspects will be reviewed, showing that brofaromine is a selective and reversible inhibitor of monoamine oxidase type A with additional serotonin reuptake inhibiting properties. Both mechanisms of action may synergize in the antidepressant effect of the compound. The main results of clinical trials in depression and other indication areas will also be covered. Special attention will be put on the side effect profile.
