Ketamine helps patients with severe depression 'when nothing else works', doctors say | The Independent Ketamine can provide relief to patients with severe depression “where nothing has helped before”, researchers calling for a new approach to the drug’s medical use have said. For six years, scientists from Oxford University have been using ketamine to treat more than 100 people with treatment-resistant depression. They said patients who received a series of carefully administered intravenous infusions of the drug, followed by oral top-ups, showed sustained improvement in around 40 per cent of cases – a significant result when other antidepressants have failed. “There are lots of people who are currently resistant to antidepressant drugs and psychotherapies,” consultant psychiatrist Rupert McShane told The Independent. “We’d like to see some more centres developing expertise [about ketamine] and starting to use it.” “A lot of people would never want to have ECT, largely because of stigma. “When people are having an infusion, during that period they feel very peculiar.

Deeper Into Leather: TL Talks With Mitch Alfus To source luxury leather, Alfus says, he goes straight to the ultimate source: the luxury cow (or lamb). To identify such an animal, Mitch wants answers: “How was it raised? How was it fed? Was it naturally fed, was it farm-fed, was it grazing out in the valley?

MA: I have people inspecting it overseas, or the customer is allowed to go and inspect it in the tannery before it gets shipped. MA: We have a reputation not just for selling a commodity of leather, but for creating something… for transforming it into something more: washable leather, for instance, which has been a huge thing over the last 5 years. MA: For spring 2013, it’s layered, bright orange, bright red, and bright blue. MA: It gets better as you wear it. www.libraleather.com For more, check out The Selby’s film Mitch Alfus, The Leather King Amanda Jakubik
