Mov Disord Clin Pract 2023; 10:1090-1098. [PMID: 37476316 PMCID: PMC10354616 DOI: 10.1002/mdc3.13789] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/06/2022] [Revised: 03/09/2023] [Accepted: 05/02/2023] [Indexed: 07/22/2023] Open
Abstract
Background About 70% of neurologists report that PD patients do not get their medication properly when hospitalized, and 33% are prescribed contraindicated drugs. Objectives To execute medication reconciliation (MedRec) focused on antiparkinsonian drugs to identify, characterize and, eventually, prevent medication errors, thus promoting therapeutic quality and safety in daily practice. Methods An interventional, single-center, 1 year, prospective study. All the patients who were hospitalized and had, at least, one active prescription containing an antiparkinsonian drug at hospital admission were included. MedRec was performed by following a three-phased check: inpatient electronic prescription validation after assessing the outpatient medication schedule, review of the latest clinical report emitted by the Neurology Department/General Practitioner, and pharmacist-driven interview of the patient and/or caregiver to confirm the information regarding medication gathered. Results A total of 171 admission episodes from 132 patients were registered (February 1, 2021, and January 31, 2022). Of 224 prescription lines involving antiparkinsonian drugs, 179 contained, at least, one medication error (59.8%). Commission errors (91.62%) were more frequent than omitted drugs (8.38%). The most common medication errors were related to timing (41.90%), frequency (21.23%), and dosing (19.55%). The implementation of this program prevented the erroneous administration of 2716 antiparkinsonian doses, 60% of the total number of doses prescribed. Interestingly, a significant relationship between the number of medication errors and having levodopa prescribed was evidenced (P < 0.05). A contraindicated drug was prescribed in almost one-third of the episodes (29.82%). Conclusions Clinical pharmacists' implementation of an antiparkinsonians reconciliation program sharply reduced medication errors and prescription of contraindicated drugs.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) as a prevalent neurodegenerative condition impairs motor function and is caused by the progressive deterioration of nigrostriatal dopaminergic (DAergic) neurons. The current therapy solutions for PD are ineffective because they could not inhibit the disease's progression and they even have adverse effects. Natural polyphenols, a group of phytochemicals, have been found to offer various health benefits, including neuroprotection against PD. Among these, resveratrol (RES) has neuroprotective properties owing to its capacity to protect mitochondria and act as an antioxidant. An increase in the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) leads to oxidative stress (OS), which is responsible for cellular damage resulting in lipid peroxidation, oxidative protein alteration, and DNA damage. In PD models, it's been discovered that RES pretreatment can diminish oxidative stress by boosting endogenous antioxidant status and directly scavenging ROS. Several studies have examined the involvement of RES in the modulation of the transcriptional factor Nrf2 in PD models because this protein recognizes oxidants and controls the antioxidant defense. In this review, we have examined the molecular mechanisms underlying the RES activity and reviewed its effects in both in vitro and in vivo models of PD. The gathered evidence herein showed that RES treatment provides neuroprotection against PD by reducing OS and upregulation of Nrf2. Moreover, in the present study, scientific proof of the neuroprotective properties of RES against PD and the mechanism supporting clinical development consideration has been described.

Abstract
Bromocriptine (BRM), a dopamine 2 receptor agonist, is a common drug for inducing estrus in dogs. It is also used for the treatment of some endocrine abnormalities and has some cardiovascular consequences in the patients under treatment. The current study aimed to evaluate its effects on the cardiovascular function of dogs during administration and the subsequent induced estrus cycle. Eight non-pregnant female dogs were assigned into control and treatment groups. The control group (n = 3) were dogs that showed proestrus naturally. The treatment group (n = 5) received oral incremental (μg/kg) doses (100 on days 1 and 2, 200 on days 3, 4, and 400 on days 5 until the proestrus expression) of BRM tablets (2.5 mg; Iran-Hormone Co, Iran). The left ventricle function, carotid blood flow indices, and systolic (SAP) and diastolic (DAP) arterial pressure were recorded every two days. The phases of the cycle were determined using a vaginal smear. Peak systolic velocity (PSV), end-diastolic velocity (EDV), and resistance index (RI) had a sharp decline following the administration of BRM (P < 0.05). The carotid PSA, EDV, RI, and pulse index were lower during induced estrus compared to the control (p < 0.05). BRM-induced estrus showed a different pattern of changes compared to the normal cycle from day 9 (p < 0.05) onwards. The cardiovascular effects of BRM remained for days after the termination of administration which may interfere with reproductive functions.

Management of dysphagia and gastroparesis in Parkinson’s disease in real-world clinical practice – Balancing pharmacological and non-pharmacological approaches. Front Aging Neurosci 2022; 14:979826. [PMID: 36034128 PMCID: PMC9403060 DOI: 10.3389/fnagi.2022.979826] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/28/2022] [Accepted: 07/18/2022] [Indexed: 12/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Gastrointestinal (GI) issues are commonly experienced by patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD). Those that affect the lower GI tract, such as constipation, are the most frequently reported GI problems among patients with PD. Upper GI issues, such as swallowing dysfunction (dysphagia) and delayed gastric emptying (gastroparesis), are also common in PD but are less well recognized by both patients and clinicians and, therefore, often overlooked. These GI issues may also be perceived by the healthcare team as less of a priority than management of PD motor symptoms. However, if left untreated, both dysphagia and gastroparesis can have a significant impact on the quality of life of patients with PD and on the effectiveness on oral PD medications, with negative consequences for motor control. Holistic management of PD should therefore include timely and effective management of upper GI issues by utilizing both non-pharmacological and pharmacological approaches. This dual approach is key as many pharmacological strategies have limited efficacy in this setting, so non-pharmacological approaches are often the best option. Although a multidisciplinary approach to the management of GI issues in PD is ideal, resource constraints may mean this is not always feasible. In ‘real-world’ practice, neurologists and PD care teams often need to make initial assessments and treatment or referral recommendations for their patients with PD who are experiencing these problems. To provide guidance in these cases, this article reviews the published evidence for diagnostic and therapeutic management of dysphagia and gastroparesis, including recommendations for timely and appropriate referral to GI specialists when needed and guidance on the development of an effective management plan.
