Duloxetine augmentation in resistant
obsessive compulsive disorder:
Surveying a new medication for
challenges in treatment of OCD

Introduction
Up to 50% of patients with OCD have failed to
respond in SSRI trials, so looking for pharmacological alternatives
in treatment of obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) seems
necessary.
Objectives
Surveying duloxetine augmentation in treatment of
resistant OCD.
Aims
Study the effects of serotonin-norepinephrine enhancers
for treatment of OCD.
Methods
This augmentation trial was designed as an 8-week
randomized controlled, double blind study. Forty-six patients suf-
fering from OCD who had failed to respond to at least 12 weeks
of treatment with a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (flu-
oxetine, citalopram or fluvoxamine) were randomly allocated to
receive duloxetine or sertraline plus their current anti OCD treat-
ment. Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale (Y-BOCS) was the
primary outcome measure.
Results
Forty-six patients (24 of 30 in duloxetine group and 22
of 27 in sertraline group) completed the trial. Both groups showed
improvement over the 8-week study period (mean Y-BOCS total
score at week 8 as compared with baseline:
P
< 0.001 and
P
< 0.001)
without significant difference (
P
= 0.861). Those receiving dulox-
etine plus their initial medications experienced a mean decrease
of 33.0% in Y-BOCS score and the patients with sertraline added to
their initial medication experienced a mean decrease of 34.5% in
Y-BOCS.
Conclusions
Our double blind controlled clinical trial showed
duloxetine to be as effective as sertraline in reducing obsessive and
compulsive symptoms in resistant OCD patients. However, it needs
to be noted that our study is preliminary and larger double blind
placebo controlled studies are necessary to confirm the results.

As human reproduction has to been seen not only from the biolog-
ical (gender) but from the social and anthropological perspective,
and as long as paternity joins a very important aspect in men
identity, we found essential to review actual and past literature
in order to explain symptoms and attitudes experienced by some
fathers to be.
Couvade syndromewas first described in themid-sixties by a group
of British authors who tried to analyze some typical pregnancy
symptoms observed in fathers to be. These symptoms are hetero-
geneous and could be difficultly classified, but must of the authors
tend to group them in anxiety or somatophorm-like disorders.
In this oral communication, we will explore into the deep causes of
this syndrome and its links to the Couvade ritual described in some
ancient cultures like the Greek (year 60 B.C.) as well as analyze an
actual case report, with the help of the exhaustive revision of the
existing literature.
Couvade has to be contemplated as away to define the new identity
of the father to be, and his bond with the newborn, his couple and
the society.
Finally, Couvade could be seen as a proactive and constructive
preparation of the male to the paternity, out of psycopathology
and recognize these comprehensive reactions as a normal and func-
tional part of the reproductive ritual.

relations and attachment style in prostitutes in Iran.

cal population in this study consists of prostitutes of Tehran,
Mashhad, Kerman, Tabriz and Mazandaran and statistical sample

method in 2015. For purpose of data collection, Bell Object Rela-
tions and Reality Testing Inventory (BORRTI) and Hazan and Shaver
attachment styles questionnaire are used. The data were ana-
lyzed using multivariate regression and Pearson correlation in
SPSS-22.
Finding
The results showed that there is significant correla-
tion between object relations and attachment styles in prostitutes
