Is Kava (Piper Methysticum) Safe and Effective for Reducing Anxiety in Adult Patients 18-65?

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this systematic review is to determine is Kava (piper methysticum) safe and effective for reducing anxiety in adult patients 18-65? STUDY DESIGN: Review of three English language primary randomized controlled studies published from 2005-2009. DATA SOURCES: Randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled trials comparing Kava and placebo were found using OVID, PubMed, and CINAHL and COCHRANE databases. OUTCOMES MEASURED: Each of the three trials assessed the adverse event of hepatotoxicity and clinical improvement in anxiety symptoms. Studies utilized to measure change in anxiety symptoms included State Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI-state), Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA), the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), Sheehan Disability Inventory (SDI), and Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II). RESULTS: Three double-blind randomized controlled trials were included in this review. Results from the Conner et al study indicate that Kava use is effective in reducing anxiety in individuals with low baseline anxiety, but there were no differences between Kava and placebo when HAMA scores were \u3e 16 or \u3e 18. The second study by Sarris et al concluded that the response rate after treatment with Kava was 62% with a remission rate of 35%. The third study by Jacobs et al showed a reduction in anxiety symtpoms, but not greater than that of placebo; however, the data was not statistically significant. All three trials demonstrated that kava use does not contribute to hepatotoxicity. CONCLUSIONS: All of the RCTs demonstrate that Kava use is safe and effective at reducing anxiety. However, it seems to be a less efficient option in the overall anxiety score reduction when compared to the current available treatment. In addition, the studies failed to demonstrate that Kava has an effect on hepatotoxicity

Finding Lost Space: Theories of Urban Design

The problem of "lost space," or the inadequate use of space, afflicts most urban centers today. The automobile, the effects of the Modern Movement in architectural design, urban-renewal and zoning policies, the dominance of private over public interests, as well as changes in land use in the inner city have resulted in the loss of values and meanings that were traditionally associated with urban open space. This text offers a comprehensive and systematic examination of the crisis of the contemporary city and the means by which this crisis can be addressed. Finding Lost Space traces leading urban spatial design theories that have emerged over the past eighty years: the principles of Sitte and Howard; the impact of and reactions to the Functionalist movement; and designs developed by Team 10, Robert Venturi, the Krier brothers, and Fumihiko Maki, to name a few. In addition to discussions of historic precedents, contemporary approaches to urban spatial design are explored. Detailed case studies of Boston, Massachusetts; Washington, D.C.; Goteborg, Sweden; and the Byker area of Newcastle, England demonstrate the need for an integrated design approach--one that considers figure-ground, linkage, and place theories of urban spatial design. These theories and their individual strengths and weaknesses are defined and applied in the case studies, demonstrating how well they operate in different contexts. This text will prove invaluable for students and professionals in the fields of architecture, landscape architecture, and city planning. Finding Lost Space is going to be a primary text for the urban designers of the next generation. It is the first book in the field to absorb the lessons of the postmodern reaction, including the work of the Krier brothers and many others, and to integrate these into a coherent theory and set of design guidelines. Without polemics, Roger Trancik addresses the biggest issue in architecture and urbanism today: how can we regain in our shattered cities a public realm that is made of firmly shaped, coherently linked, humanly meaningful urban spaces?
