Abstract null null Background null Adults with cystic fibrosis have unique barriers that may decrease their ability to receive adequate social support and socialization, leading to social isolation. Social isolation has been correlated with negative health outcomes in other populations. In those with cystic fibrosis, social isolation may present additional physiological and psychological challenges, potentially interfering with clinical outcomes and quality of life. However, there is a lack of u...
Abstract null null Objective null Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are among the most common bacterial infections in pregnant women. This is the first longitudinal study investigating the association between gestational UTIs and the risk of maternal antenatal and postnatal depressive and anxiety symptoms. null null null Methods null Data were utilised from the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC).

Abstract null null Objective null We addressed elevated C-reactive protein level (eCRP) specificity comparing, for the first time, eCRP (i.e., serum CRP > 3 and ≤10 mg/L) in patients with major depressive disorder (MDD), bipolar disorder (BD), or obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD). We also assessed to what extent multiple variables that can potentially increase inflammation may have influenced eCRP in our sample. null null null Methods null We performed a retrospective, observational, cross-sec...
Abstract null null Objective null Problem anger and poor sleep are common, particularly in military and veteran populations, but the nature of the relationship is poorly understood, and treatment approaches would benefit from improved understanding of how these constructs interact. Ecological momentary assessment (EMA) is suitable for monitoring day-to-day fluctuations in symptoms, and modelling dynamic relationships between variables. null null null Methods null This study aimed to examine thes...

OBJECTIVE Previous studies have shown that excess weight (including obesity and overweight) can increase the risk of cardiovascular, cerebrovascular and other diseases, but there is no study on the incidence of post-stroke depression (PSD) and related factors in patients with excessive weight. The main purpose of this study was to find related factors of PSD at 3 months after stroke in patients with excessive weight and construct artificial neural network (ANN) and decision tree (DT) models. MET...
