2.Treatment Strategy for Antipsychotic-Induced Side Effects.
Journal of the Korean Society of Biological Psychiatry 1998;5(2):166-174
While the therapeutic efficacy of antipsychotic drugs is not in doubt, a variety of undesirable side effects are common. They can be a disincentive to good compliance with treatment, resulting in increased possibilities for relapse and hospitalization. They can be distressing and disabling and thus interfering with patient safety and quality of life. Furthermore, they may be counter-therapeutic by exacerbating the condition that the drug was prescribed for. In this article, we will provide an overview of management of antipsychotic-induced side effects, with a particular emphasis on the most common side effects as well as less common but serious side effects. In addition, some practical issues regarding the management of side effects will b discussed.

A clinical review was made on 2,191 cases of general pediatric surgery under the age of 15 years which were operated upon at the Divisionof Pediatric Surgery, Department of Surgery, Chonnam University Hospital from January 1988 to December 1997. The number of operations in pediatric age were 13,144 (13.2%) out of total 99,555 operations at Chonnam University Hospital and the most prevalent age group was under 1 year of age (14.3%). The number of operations in Divisionof General Pediatric Surgery were 2,191 (16.7%) out of total 13,144 operations in pediatric age and the incidence of patients under 1 year of age in general pediatric surgery was 42.9% (941/2,191). The prevalent diseases under 1 month of age were anorectal malformations (20.6%) and hypertrophic pyloric stenosis (20.3%) and between 1 month to 1 year of age were inguinal hernia (32.4%) and intussusception (19.6%). The total motality rate in neonatal intensive care unit was 31.3%. Gastroschisis presented highest mortality.

Winging of the scapula is characterized clinically by a prominence of the vertebral border and inferior angle of the scapula. Trauma, neuritis, neural injury during surgical procedure and many other causes may develop winging of scapula. When pain and functional impairment persist, surgical intervention may become appropriate. We report two cases of winged scapula. One case was serratus anterior palsy due to blunt trauma, which was treated by transfer of teres major and pectoralis minor elongated with a tensor fascia strip. Another case was trapezius muscle palsy due to iatrogenic spinal accessary nerve injury, which was treated by transfer of the levator scapulae, rhomboid major and rhomboid minor muscle. In the former case, there was no weakness nor deformity of affected shoulder. In the later case, there was some residual pain and limitation of motion.

Differential diagnosis between physiologic bow legs and nonphysiologic bow legs is difficult and still not fixed in diagnosis, especially under 5 years old age. Recently the problem exist in differential diagnosis and treatment method of rickets because of non-specific laberatory finding in rickets. Metaphyseal-Diaphyseal angle in distal femur, Diaphyseal-Diaphyseal angle between femur and tibia, and Metaphyseal-Diaphyseal angle in proximal and distal tibia, and Metaphyseal-Metaphyseal angle in tibia are measured and compared for 30 bow legs children. And divided into rickets group and physiologic bow legs group by clinical and laboratory findings. The results are as following 1. Mean age was 1.91 years old at initail examination, 2.08 years old in rickets group, 1.73 years old in phisiologic bow legs group. 2. Diaphyseal-Disphyseal angle between femur and tibia was 18.12 ±6.80 in rickets group. And 10.17±5.36 in phisiologic bow legs group. Metaphyseal-Diaphyseal angle in distal femur was 10.88±3.62 in rickets group. And 8.42±4.42 in physiologic bow group. 3. Metaphyseal-Diaphyseal angle in proximal tibia was 11.50±2.56 in rickets group. And 7.17±2.01 in phisiologic bow legs group. It's angle in distal tibia was 10.50±3.86 in the former and 9.50 ±3.09 in the later group. Metaphyseal-Metaphyseal angle in tibia was 20.68±3.91 in rickets group and 16.78±4.11 in phisiologic bow legs group. According to the above mentioned results. Metaphyseal-Metaphyseal angle and Metaphyseal- Diaphyseal angle in tibia are comparable to gross appearance of bow legs deformed children rater than Diaphyseal-Diaphysealangle between femur and tibia, and Metaphyseal-Diaphyseal angle in distal femur. All values are high in rchekts, statistically. Therfore measurement of above mentioned angle in simple X-ray is valuable in differential diagnosis between phisiologic bow legs and Rickets.
