However, despite these limitations, this study shows that in euthymic outpatients with bipolar disorder, those with suspected cognitive impairment had consumed a higher number of health resources over the previous year. These preliminary results may foster similar studies on the relationship between mental healthcare resource use and cognitive dysfunction in bipolar disorder and other psychiatric disorders.Anaphylaxis is a life-threatening allergic reaction, for which the worldwide prevalence is rapidly increasing. The currently used synthetic antiallergic drugs have a high tendency to cause adverse effects, like gastric ulcers, in long-term use. Therefore, a great deal of attention has been given to develop new safer and more effective antiallergic agents from natural compounds that are chemically/enzymatically-modified. Here, we evaluated/compared the efficacy of two different doses (50 and 100 mg/kg body weight "b.w", given orally) of sodium R-lipoate (NaRLA) and enzymatically-modified isoquercitrin (EMIQ) in alleviating both local/systemic non-immunological anaphylactic reactions and stress-induced gastric ulceration in mice, in comparison with sulfasalazine (SSZ) as a reference drug. The results indicated that the pre-treatment of animals with NaRLA or EMIQ (especially at 100 mg/kg b.w) completely succeeded, as SSZ, in alleviating the hind paw edema induced by either histamine or compound 48/80 (Cpd 48/80). Furthermore, NaRLA and EMIQ prevented the mast cell degranulation and anaphylactic shock caused by Cpd 48/80 (in a dose-dependent manner) and reduced significantly (P less then 0.001) the histamine release from the mouse peritoneal mast cells, like SSZ. Moreover, their use was associated with alleviating both gastric histopathological and biochemical alteratio
