Bipolar Affective Disorder (BPAD) accounts for 10-25% of all mood disorders in the geriatric population and 5% of all inpatient admissions to geropsychiatric units. Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is an effective treatment for all phases of BPAD, though only a few studies have focused on BPAD in the geriatric population. https://www.selleckchem.com/products/dyngo-4a.html This study examines the safety and efficacy of ultra-brief right unilateral (UBRUL) ECT for patients with late-life bipolar depression (BD). A retrospective chart review was conducted of patients with late-life BD who received UBRUL ECT treatments. Symptomatic response was measured using pre- and post-ECT Quick Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology (QIDS-SR16) and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II) scores. Clinical improvement and cognitive change were measured using Clinical Global Impression-Improvement (CGI-I) and Electroconvulsive Cognitive Assessment (ECCA) scores. Twenty-Seven elderly patients (mean age 69.1 ± 7.7 years) were included in the analysis. Baseline QIDS-SR16 was 17.3 ± 5.3 and BDI-II 30.0 ± 9.2. 80.0% (16/20) and 57.1% (4/7) of patients achieved response (50.0% decline) in their QIDS-SR16 and BDI-II scores, respectively. Remission rates in QIDS-SR16 (post-ECT scores ≤5) and BDI-II (post-ECT scores ≤12) were 65.0% (13/20) and 42.9% (3/7), respectively. Mean QIDS-SR16 and BDI-II scores were reduced by a statistically significant 68.2% and 50.5%, respectively (two-tailed, paired p-values <0.01) after ECT. CGI-I of ≤2 was attained by 85.2% (23/27) of patients. 85.7% (12/14) of patients saw no change or improvement in ECCA scores. Inherent complications of chart review regarding quality, availability, and homogeny of data. UBRUL ECT is a safe and effective treatment for patients presenting with late-life BD.

Prevention studies for perinatal depression rarely focus on the mother-infant dyad or consider the impact of maternal childhood maltreatment (CM). A secondary analysis of two combined randomized controlled trials of Practical Resources for Effective Postpartum Parenting (PREPP) examined the moderating role of CM on the efficacy of preventing perinatal depression and effects on infant behavior at six weeks. 32% of 109 pregnant women endorsed CM (CM+). At six weeks postpartum, women who received PREPP compared to enhanced treatment as usual (ETAU) had significant reductions in depression and anxiety based on the observer-rated Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HRSD) and Hamilton Rating Scale for Anxiety (HRSA) (mean difference of M=-3.84 (SD= 0.14, p<0.01) and M=- 4.31 (SD= 0.32, p <0.001) respectively). When CM was added to the models, there no longer was a significant PREPP versus ETAU treatment effect on HRSD and HRSA outcomes in CM+ women though effects remained for CM- women. However, CM+ women who received PREPP vs ETAU reported a mean increase in infant daytime sleep of 189.8min (SE= 50.48, p=0.001). Self-report measures of infant behavior were used. CM+ women versus CM- had limited response to an intervention to prevent perinatal depression yet still reported an increase in infant daytime sleep. This study adds to the growing literature that prevention studies may need to incorporate approaches tailored to fit women with childhood trauma histories while also considering infant functioning as both may be treatment targets relevant to maternal mood.

Ownership has significant impact on website motivation. Consumers may heavily rely on the health website ownership cue when assessing credibility and making behavioral response toward health information on it. Health websites were primarily divided into four different ownership types (i.e., governmental, organizational, commercial, and personal) in China's context. However, research on Chinese consumer behavior toward different ownership types of health websites is scarce. To investigate the most credible and most commonly used health website ownership type among Chinese consumers, and to identify the influencing factors on perceived credibility, and actual usage of health websites. A cross-sectional survey of 1653 participants was conducted in 3-tier hospitals in 3 cities with different income levels. Multinomial logistic regression analyses were used to identify factors influencing Chinese consumers' perceived credibility and actual use of health websites. The most credible health website was the orsage of health website. City income level, consumer type and consumer income level were significantly associated with perceived credibility, actual usage of health websites. Both Chinese consumers' perceived credibility and actual use of health website varied by ownership, and there was a gap between perceived credibility and actual usage of health website. Most sociodemographic factors had no statistically significant correlations with perceived credibility and actual usage of health website. City income level, consumer type and consumer income level were significantly associated with perceived credibility, actual usage of health websites. Current lengthening of average life and constant increase of population ageing associated to forces that include rapid unplanned urbanisation and globalisation of unhealthy behaviours have determined the huge relevance of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs). Monitoring key modifiable behavioural risk factors has resulted to be crucial both in spatial terms and as per temporal trends in order to allow comparisons between different geographic areas or levels and over time. In Italy, PASSI (Progressi delle Aziende Sanitarie per la Salute in Italia) and Passi d'Argento are the ongoing Behavioural Risk Factor Surveillance Systems (BRFSSs), respectively, on adults (people aged 18-69) and elderly (65 and older). The two Italian surveillances are information systems providing data not only on the third Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) that explicitly addresses ensuring healthy lives and promoting well-being for all, but on a total of nine health-related SDGs (HRSDGs) and 19 HRSDG targets/indicators. We describe these pairs more in detail specifying where in case of BRFSS core indicators (N = 14 HRSDG targets/indicators) concerning six HRSDGs or, on the other hand, as per BRFSS further in-depth analysis (N = five HRSDG targets/indicators) in regard of four different HRSDGs.
