Metabolic Adverse Effects of Psychotropic Drug Therapy: A Systematic Review Lizeth Sepúlveda-Lizcano, Vivian Vanessa Arenas-Villamizar, Enna Beatriz Jaimes-Duarte, Henry García-Pacheco, Carlos Silva Paredes, et al. European Journal of Investigation in Health Psychology and Education, 2023 This review aimed to investigate the metabolic alterations associated with psychopharmacological treatment of neuropsychiatric disorders, which can significantly impact patients’ physical health and overall quality of life. The study utilized the PRISMA methodology and included cross-sectional, retrospective studies, and randomized clinical trials from reputable databases like SCOPUS, CLARIVATE, SCIENCE DIRECT, and PUBMED. Out of the 64 selected studies, various psychotropic drug classes were analyzed, including antidepressants, anticonvulsants, and antipsychotics. Among the antidepressants, such as amitriptyline, Imipramine, and clomipramine, weight gain, constipation, and cardiovascular effects were the most commonly reported metabolic adverse effects. SSRI antidepressants like Fluoxetine, Sertraline, Citalopram, Escitalopram, and Paroxetine exhibited a high prevalence of gastrointestinal and cardiac alterations. Regarding anticonvulsants, valproic acid and Fosphenytoin were associated with adverse reactions such as weight gain and disturbances in appetite and sleep patterns. As for antipsychotics, drugs like Clozapine, Olanzapine, and Risperidone were linked to weight gain, diabetes, and deterioration of the lipid profile. The findings of this review emphasize the importance of continuous monitoring for adverse effects, particularly considering that the metabolic changes caused by psychopharmacological medications may vary depending on the age of the patients. Future research should focus on conducting field studies to further expand knowledge on the metabolic effects of other commonly prescribed psychotropic drugs. Overall, the study highlights the significance of understanding and managing metabolic alterations induced by psychopharmacological treatment to enhance patient care and well-being.

Blood, incompatibility and hearing Valentina Páez-Ruiz and Gaceta Medica De Caracas, 2022 This study aims to analyze the relationship between blood incompatibility and hearing, through the severity that occurs in the perinatal period in the fetus and newborn. Systematic descriptive review is subject to the principles adopted by the Cochrane systematic review. This review made it possible to demonstrate the relation between hearing loss and blood incompatibility and the degrees of severity of the pathology in newborns. The ear as one of the most important sense organs for the development and acquisition of the human being in relation to the environment must remain functional. If there are any birth alterations, they would delay the correct development and in turn, would generate problems for the proper acquisition of language. Therefore, it is necessary to have correct gestational control to avoid the associated risk factors that could happen due to hearing loss.
