まとめ
ミルタザピンは,標準抗嘔吐薬に反応しない2人の入院患者で,妊娠中の重度の吐き気と嘔吐 (sNVP) を効果的に治療しました. これは,耐火性SNVP症例の潜在的な治療選択肢としてミルタサピンを示唆しています.
科学分野:
- 産婦人科
- 妊婦と胎児の医療
- 薬理学について
背景:
- 妊娠中の重度の吐き気 (sNVP) は,母親と新生児の健康に重大な影響を及ぼし,治療の選択肢は限られている.
- 標準的な抗嘔吐剤は,耐性SNVPの症例ではしばしば無効である.
- 他の疾患におけるミルタサピンの有効性と,妊娠中の確立された安全性プロフィールは,それを潜在的な治療候補にしています.
研究 の 目的:
- 妊娠中の重度の吐き気および嘔吐 (sNVP) の治療におけるミルタサピンの有効性と安全性を評価する.
- 耐性SNVPの産婦人科の患者に対するミルタサピンの初期治療ガイドラインを提示する.
主な方法:
- 2人の妊婦の症例報告 標準抗嘔吐剤に耐性のあるsNVP
- 治療には,既存の反嘔吐療法に加えてミルタザピン (15 mg口服分解錠) が使われました.
- 患者は,急性治療期およびその後の維持期にモニタリングされた.
主要な成果:
- 両方の患者は,sNVPの症状の迅速かつ持続的な改善を経験しました.
- ミルタザピンの投与量を増加させる必要はありませんでした.
- 患者はミルタサピンを好調に耐えており,副作用はほとんどなく,他の嘔吐剤の投与量も順調に減りました.
結論:
- ミルタザピンは,耐性SNVPを患った2人の入院患者で,症状の解消に成功しました.
- このケースシリーズは,産婦人科でのミルタザピンの使用,減量,および副作用管理に関する最初の勧告を提供します.
- これらの発見を確認し,最終的な治療プロトコルを確立するために,さらなる研究が必要である.

Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting: 5-HT3 Receptor Antagonists
321
5-HT3 receptor antagonists, such as dolasetron, granisetron (Kytril), ondansetron (Zofran), and palonosetron (Axoli), are crucial in managing chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) and postoperative nausea. These drugs selectively block 5-HT3 receptors in the visceral vagal and spinal afferent nerves, chemoreceptor trigger zone, and the vomiting center. They have a rapid onset of action and can be given as a single dose before chemotherapy. Ondansetron and granisetron, in particular,...

Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting: Dopamine Receptor Antagonists
439
Dopamine receptor antagonists, also known as antipsychotic agents, are critical in managing chemotherapy-induced vomiting. These antiemetic agents block dopamine receptors in the chemoreceptor trigger zone (CTZ), inhibiting signal transmission to the vomiting center. Antipsychotic agents encompass phenothiazines (PTZ), butyrophenones, benzamides, and thienobenzodiazepines (Zyprexa), which are utilized for their antiemetic and sedative properties.

Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting: Neurokinin-1 Receptor Antagonists
259
Neurokinin 1 (NK1) receptors are distributed across the GI tract, vagal afferents, and key CNS regions including the central vomiting center and chemoreceptor trigger zone (CTZ) Chemotherapy agents stimulate enterochromaffin cells in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract to release large amounts of substance P (SP). SP is a neuropeptide released by specific sensory nerves in response to many different stressors, including those in the GI mucosa affected by chemotherapy. SP binds and activates...

Antidepressant Drugs: MAOIs and Other Agents

Atypical antidepressants, including bupropion (Wellbutrin), mirtazapine (Remeron), nefazodone (Serzone), trazodone (Desyrel), and vilazodone (Viibryd), offer unique mechanisms of action. Bupropion weakly inhibits dopamine and norepinephrine reuptake, aiding depression treatment and smoking cessation, with a low risk of sexual dysfunction. Mirtazapine enhances serotonin and norepinephrine neurotransmission, leading to sedation, increased appetite, and weight gain. As a result, it helps treat...

Pathophysiology of Vomiting
1.1K
Vomiting is a complex physiological response to expel harmful or irritating substances from the body. It's a defensive mechanism triggered by stimuli like poisons, microbial toxins, cytotoxic drugs, and mechanical abdominal distension. The process is centrally coordinated by the vomiting (or emetic) center located in the medulla of the brainstem. This area, rich in muscarinic M1, histamine H1, neurokinin 1 (NK1), and serotonin 5-HT3 receptors, coordinates the act of vomiting through...

Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting: Cannabinoids
366
Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is a phytocannabinoid that primarily interacts with the CB1 receptor, a type of G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) predominantly in and around the chemoreceptor trigger zone (CTZ) and emetic center. THC also blocks the serotonin receptor activity in the dorsal vagal complex (DVC) by inhibiting serotonin release. THC exerts its anti-emetic effects through these interactions, which are beneficial for patients undergoing chemotherapy.
