Treatment-Refractory Mania with Psychosis in a Post-Transplant Patient on Tacrolimus: A Case Report.
    Clinical medicine & research, 2018, Volume: 16, Issue:1-2

    Bipolar affective disorder type I imparts significant morbidity and disease burden in the population. It is characterized by occurrence of one or more manic episodes which may be preceded or followed by a depressive or hypomanic phase. About half of these manic episodes are characterized by the presence of psychotic features. The condition is further complicated when the patient has multiple comorbid conditions. We report here the case of a Caucasian woman, aged 66 years, previously diagnosed with Bipolar disorder who developed treatment refractory mania with psychotic feature after being on the immunosuppressive agent, tacrolimus, after kidney transplantation.

Comprehensive risk assessment for early neurologic complications after liver transplantation.
    World journal of gastroenterology, 2016, Jun-28, Volume: 22, Issue:24

    To determine risk factors for early neurologic complications (NCs) after liver transplantation from perspective of recipient, donor, and surgeon.. In all, 295 adult recipients were enrolled consecutively between August 2001 and February 2014 from a single medical center in Taiwan. Any NC in the first 30 d post-liver transplantation, and perioperative variables from multiple perspectives were collected and analyzed. The main outcome was a 30-d NC. Generalized additive models were used to detect the non-linear effect of continuous variables on outcome, and to determine cut-off values for categorizing risk. Risk factors were identified using multiple logistic regression analysis.. In all, 288 recipients were included, of whom 142 (49.3%) experienced at least one NC, with encephalopathy being the most common 106 (73%). NCs prolonged hospital stay (35.15 ± 43.80 d vs 20.88 ± 13.58 d, P < 0.001). Liver recipients' age < 29 or ≥ 60 years, body mass index < 21.6 or > 27.6 kg/m(2), Child-Pugh class C, history of preoperative hepatoencephalopathy or mental disorders, day 7 tacrolimus level > 8.9 ng/mL, and postoperative intra-abdominal infection were more likely associated with NCs. Novel risk factors for NCs were donor age < 22 or ≥ 40 years, male-to-male gender matching, graft-recipient weight ratio 0.9%-1.9%, and sequence of transplantation between 31 and 174.. NCs post- liver transplantation occurs because of factors related to recipient, donor, and surgeon. Our results provide a basis of risk stratification for surgeon to minimize neurotoxic factors during transplantation.

Anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis: an important differential diagnosis in psychosis.
    The British journal of psychiatry : the journal of mental science, 2011, Volume: 199, Issue:6

    We present four cases of confirmed anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis; three presented initially with serious psychiatric symptoms and the other developed significant psychiatric symptoms during the initial phase of illness. Brain biopsy findings of one patient are also described. Psychiatrists should consider anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis in patients presenting with psychosis and additional features of dyskinesias, seizures and catatonia, particularly where there is no previous history of psychiatric disorder.
