Zusammenfassung

Autismus ist ein persistierendes, heterogenes Störungsbild, das häufig mit einer hohen Zahl an Begleitstörungen assoziiert ist. Vor allem externalisierende Auffälligkeiten wie Aggressionen, Impulsivität und Selbstverletzungen werden als besonders belastend erlebt und können sich störend auf psychotherapeutische und pädagogische Interventionen auswirken. Durch gezielte pharmakologische Behandlung sind jedoch vor allem ausagierende Verhaltensweisen positiv beeinflussbar, wenn auch die Kernproblematik derzeit pharmakologisch nicht ausreichend behebbar ist. Besonders die Wirksamkeit von atypischen Antipsychotika und Methylphenidat sind durch multizentrische Studien inzwischen gut belegt, während selektive Serotoninwiederaufnahmehemmer bei autistischen Störungen nur eingeschränkt empfohlen werden können. Neuere pharmakologische Möglichkeiten zu Verbesserung der Defizite der sozialen Interaktion und Kommunikation befinden sich derzeit in der Erprobung.

Akuter Schwindel: Wann lohnt sich eine MRT?

28.04.2024 Schwindel Nachrichten

Akuter Schwindel stellt oft eine diagnostische Herausforderung dar. Wie nützlich dabei eine MRT ist, hat eine Studie aus Finnland untersucht. Immerhin einer von sechs Patienten wurde mit akutem ischämischem Schlaganfall diagnostiziert.

Niedriger diastolischer Blutdruck erhöht Risiko für schwere kardiovaskuläre Komplikationen
