Because of the amount of time required to make "from scratch" evidence based decisions, evidence based practitioners will often not succeed in reviewing the original literature that bears on a clinical dilemma they face. Thus, two reasons exist why training evidence based practitioners will not, alone, achieve evidence based practice. Firstly, many clinicians will not be interested in gaining a high level of sophistication in using the original literature, and, secondly, those who do will often be short of time in applying these skills. In our residency programme we have observed that even trainees who are less interested in evidence based methods develop a respect for, and ability to track down and use, secondary sources of preappraised evidence evidence based resources ; that provide immediately applicable conclusions. Having mastered this restricted set of skills, these trainees whom we call evidence users ; can become highly competent, up to date practitioners who deliver evidence based care. Time limitations dictate that evidence based practitioners also rely heavily on conclusions from preappraised resources. Such resources, which apply a methodological filter to original investigations and therefore ensure a minimal standard of validity, include the Cochrane Library, ACP Journal Club, Evidence-based Medicine, and Best Evidence and an increasing number of computer decision support systems. Thus, producing more comprehensive and more easily accessible preappraised resources is a second strategy for ensuring evidence based care. The availability of evidence based resources and recommendations will still be insufficient to produce consistent evidence based care. Habit, local practice patterns, and product marketing may often be stronger determinants of practice. Controlled trials have shown that traditional continuing education has little effect on combating these forces and changing doctors' behaviour.4 On the other hand, approaches that do change targeted clinical behaviours include one to one conversations with an expert, computerised alerts and reminders, preceptorships, advice from opinion leaders, and targeted audit and feedback.57 Other effective strategies include restricted drug formularies, financial incentives, and institutional guidelines. Application of these strategies, which do not demand even a rudimentary ability to use the original medical literature and instead focus on behaviour change, thus constitute a third strategy for achieving evidence based care, for example, effectiveness of clozapine.

Issue, 4 ; behavioural modification i.e. toileting schedules ; and 5 ; treating the incontinence with a pharmacological agent.2, 11 The pharmacological agent chosen will depend on the type of urinary incontinence the patient is experiencing. At present, there have been no published randomized controlled trials investigating effective treatments for clozapineinduced urinary incontinence. Effective treatments have, however, been documented in case reports and in one prospective study Table 1 ; . Pharmacological treatment of overflow incontinence secondary to urinary retention and or constipation should be considered once any existing outflow obstruction has been removed. Bethanecol 10-50mg bid-qid ; , a cholinergic agonist, can be used short-term to stimulate bladder contraction. Prazosin 0.5-2mg bid-qid ; , an -adrenergic antagonist, has been used to relax smooth muscle of the urethra and prostate capsule allowing for improved outflow of urine from the bladder. Drugs used in the management of stress incontinence secondary to -adrenergic blockade include -adrenergic agonists and imipramine. Alpha-adrenergic agonists stimulate urethral smooth muscle sphincter contraction, thereby increasing sphincter resistance to outflow. Fuller et al2 investigated the use of ephedrine 25-150mg day ; in 16 patients who experienced urinary incontinence after initiating clozapine therapy 75-900mg day ; for refractory psychosis. Twelve of 16 patients 75% ; had a complete remission of their urinary incontinence, 3 17.8% ; had a reduction in frequency of urinary incontinence and 1 6.2% ; had no response to therapy. Imipramine 1050mg od-tid ; , a tricyclic antidepressant, has also been used to treat stress incontinence. Imipramine has both anticholinergic effects as well as a direct relaxant effect on the bladder smooth muscle and some alpha-agonist activity which enhances urethral resistance.
Key Words clozapine, dopamine, serotonin, psychosis s Abstract "Atypical" antipsychotics represent a new generation of antipsychotics with a significantly lower incidence of extrapyramidal side effects EPS ; , as well as little or no effect on prolactin elevation. These advantages constitute a major improvement in the treatment of patients with schizophrenia. The exact mechanisms that make these drugs atypical is not clear. However, a preferential action on serotonin 5-HT2 or D4 receptors, or a more rapid dissociation from the dopamine D2 receptor, may account for atypicality. Although the atypical antipsychotics have overcome EPS, other side effects such as weight gain and impaired glucose tolerance lipid abnormalities have come to the fore. Thus, the challenges are far from over. The current atypicals are much more effective against the psychosis of schizophrenia than against the other, more enduring aspects of this disorder, e.g. negative symptoms and cognitive dysfunction. At present, the atypicals use a "pharmacological shotgun" strategy to treat aspects of the disease in all patients. A more sophisticated and perhaps effective approach to schizophrenia may lie in independently targeting the pathophysiological mechanisms of each clinical dimension i.e. positive, negative, cognitive, and affective ; with more selective drugs that can be combined and individually titrated to the needs of each patient and

Starting or Resuming a Routine Contraceptive Method One important issue for patients following emergency contraception therapy is starting a routine contraceptive method. Patients can start hormonal contraception immediately following emergency contraception or wait until the next menstrual period. Table 5 outlines options for beginning a family planning method following the use of emergency contraception. After using emergency oral contraception, up to 98 percent of patients menstruate within 21 days of treatment.5 In more than one half of patients, menses occurs at the expected time.20 In more than 90 percent of cases, menses will be of normal for that woman ; duration. Whether the patient has a history of regular or irregular menstrual cycles does not appear to be a contributing factor.5 If the emergency contraception treatment is given before ovulation, menstrual bleeding may begin three to seven days earlier than expected. If the treatment begins after ovulation, menstrual bleeding may come at the expected time or be delayed.3, 21 It is important for the patient to seek prompt medical care if menses has not started within 21 days. Advance Provision Three studies have found that advance provision results in greater use of emergency contraception. A Scottish study37 of more than 1, 000 women compared advance provision with counseling about oral emergency contraception and how to obtain it i.e., by visiting a physician ; . The study found no evidence that advance provision negatively affected women's contraceptive behaviors. Most women used emergency contraception pills correctly, including many who were recruited after they had an abortion and women who had never used contraception before. Although the difference in pregnancy rates between the two groups was not statistically significant, the authors concluded that advance provision does no harm and could help prevent pregnancy. In a San Francisco study38 of more than 200 participants, women were systematically assigned to receive an advance prescription for emergency contraception and education treatment group ; or education only control group ; . Providing emergency contraception in advance, but not education alone, increased the use of emergency contraception. Results of one study39 found that advance provision of emergency contraception significantly increased its use without adversely affecting the use of routine contraception. The study designs and sample sizes are not adequate to demonstrate definitive impact on rates of unintended pregnancy. It may be and

2-adrenoceptor, and other receptor systems in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia for example, the corticostriatal glutamate pathway may directly or indirectly v i a aminobutyric acid [GABA] ; inhibit dopamine function from the ventral striatum leading to increased inhibitory activity in the limbic system. Therefore, decreased activation of glutamate receptors may increase limbic dopamine release, producing symptoms that parallel the apparent limbic dopaminergic hyperactivity thought to be associated with the positive symptoms of schizophrenia. Adenosine receptors have also been implicated [7]. Studies of the four recently cloned adenosine receptors A1, A2A, A2B, A3 ; propose that the A2A receptor may have the ability to interact with other neurotransmitter receptors, including the dopamine D2 receptor. In animal models, the A2A agonist CG21680 2- 4-[2-carboxyethyl]-phenethylamino ; adenosine5'-N-ethyluronamide ; appears to have antipsychotic efficacy and, conversely, the adenosine competitive antagonist caffeine potentiates behavioral effects similar to a dopamine agonist. A modulation of dopamine D2 receptors by adenosine A2 receptors in the ventral striatum has been proposed and supported by few clinical trials [7, 24]. PHARMACOTHERAPY OF SCHIZOPHRENIA The 1990s could justifiably be seen as the decade of psychopharmacology. Since 1990, five new antipsychotics have been approved for use in the USA: risperidone, olanzapine, sertindole subsequently withdrawn ; , quetiapine and ziprasidone. These antipsychotics, along with the protypical drug clozapine, are all considered atypical [32-36]. WHY ATYPICAL ANTIPSYCHOTICS? The outcome for many schizophrenic patients treated with conventional antipsychotics is unsatisfactory. Most controlled trials continue to find a subgroup of 10 to 20% of patients who derive little benefit from typical antipsychotic therapy [7]. Moreover, there is 20 to 30% relapse during the first two years of drug treatment in patients who are initially responsive to antipsychotic drugs [7]. Classical antipsychotic drug treatment appears to have little effect on either the chronic course of the illness or negative symptoms. The negative symptoms tend to be persistent, disabling, difficult to treat and prognostically unfavorable [37-40]. The adverse effects associated with conventional antipsychotics, in particular extrapyramidal adverse effects, can result in poor compliance [37, 38]. THE TREATMENT OF SCHIZOPHRENIA Modern treatment for schizophrenia relies primarily on somatic drug therapy. Pharmacological treatment for schizophrenia did not begin until approximately a century ago [18, 20]. Before this, beliefs surrounding all mental illness were grounded in religious dogma and it was not until the 19th century that any substantial advances were made. Drugs from the phenothiazine class were originally used as anthelminthics in veterinary medicine, but in 1950 in Paris, Paul Charpentier synthesized chlorpromazine, a mild antihistamine that appeared notable as a sedative agent and revolutionized psychiatric treatment. In 1952, Jean Delay and Pierre Deniker reported that chlorpromazine was.

The three patients who found atypicals ineffective switched to trifluoperazine, chlorpromazine and haloperidol dec., and one patient came off antipsychotic treatment altogether. The patient who found atypical treatment intolerable switched to flupenthixol dec. and the two patients who found atypicals both ineffective and intolerable switched to clozapine. Of the five patients who were switched citing other reasons, two went on to sulpiride and fluphenazine dec. and there were no records available for the other three patients. Two patients switched drug within the treatment arm during this period because of ineffectiveness. These two patients switched from risperidone to olanzapine and from quetiapine to amisulpride. There were no withdrawals from the study, but there was one death in the atypical arm during this period. Thirteen patients in the atypical arm were receiving more than one antipsychotic drug and one patient was not receiving any antipsychotic drug treatment by the end of the 26week follow-up period. Eighty-eight patients 81% ; in this arm completed their 26-week follow-up assessment and 78 patients 72% ; were still in the randomised arm and receiving an atypical drug at the end of the 26-week follow-up period and prochlorperazine.

Because taking responsibility for a patient's health is fraught with potential liabilities, an employer must screen job candidates with diligence. Rather than just filling an open position, the employer must look at how a potential employee may increase its risk of liability. To start, an employer should first outline the qualifications that a candidate must have to fill the position adequately, according to Kathleen and coreg.
These visualized actions generate entire neural networks that would not have existed without the visualization process. It is likely that you already know how to visualize, but it may not be a skill that you've practiced. For example, anytime you imagine the face of your child and you feel that you can actually "see" that face, you are visualizing. It is a fairly natural process. However, to move this practice up to another level, there are some useful techniques you can employ. First, you will want to take a few minutes to sit still with your eyes closed and consciously try to visualize what you want to accomplish. This means you must reduce the distractions and take a time-out to remember. Many people will read this and think, "But I don't have the time for that. There is just no way." We will give you two responses to that. First, it doesn't take more than a couple of minutes, and if you're so busy that you can't sit quietly and think for two minutes, then you need to seriously consider reducing the number of things you do. Second, think about all of the time you are going to waste later trying to remember. Think about the missed appointments, the forgotten item at the grocery store that you have to drive back to get. Think about how much time you spend looking for your keys. In the long run, you will be saving yourself time. So, find a comfortable chair and sit quietly. Close your eyes and do five abdominal breaths. If you have forgotten how to do this, look at the "Abdominal Breathing" exercise in chapter 3. ; Once you have relaxed a bit, bring the information that you want to remember to your mind's eye. If it is object, imagine it as fully as you can. Try and see it. Imagine all of its details. Does it have a scent? How does it feel to touch it? What emotions does it bring up for you? Does it have a taste? Zoom in and look at parts of the object, then zoom out and see the whole thing. If it is more than one object, bring the whole collection to mind. Look at the.
