      EFFECT OF ARIPIPRAZOLE WITH CARBAMAZEPINE AND FLUVOXAMINE ON LIVER FUNCTION
Aripiprazole given in combination with fluvoxamine, there was significant hepatotoxicity possibly due to inhibition of aripiprazole metabolizing enzyme CYP3A4. Similarly co-administration of carbamazepine, a CYP3A4 inducer may lead to significant decrease in plasma concentration of aripiprazole and potentially a loss in aripiprazole's clinical efficacy..

      PSYCHIATRIC MORBIDITY IN IDIOPATHIC TRANSVERSE MYELITIS
Consecutive patients with idiopathic transverse myelitis and first-episode stroke (30 each) underwent two-stage screening for psychiatric morbidity. A high prevalence of psychological distress, psychiatric morbidity (principally major depression), and cognitive impairment was found in idiopathic TM, comparable to that found among patients with stroke. This morbidity was associated with greater disability..
