Overestimation of Postpartum Depression Prevalence Based on a 5-item Version of the EPDS: Systematic Review and Individual Participant Data Meta-analysis

Author(s): Thombs BD; Levis B; Lyubenova A; Neupane D; Negeri Z; Wu Y; Sun Y; He C; Krishnan A; Vigod SN; Bhandari PM; Imran M; Rice DB; Azar M; Chiovitti MJ; Saadat N; Riehm KE; Boruff JT; Cuijpers P; Gilbody S; Ioannidis JPA; Kloda LA; Patten SB; ...

Objective: The Maternal Mental Health in Canada, 2018/2019, survey reported that 18% of 7,085 mothers who recently gave birth reported "feelings consistent with postpartum depression" based on scores =7 on a 5-item version of the Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Scale (EPDS-5). The EPDS-5 was desi ...

Sublethal Paraquat Confers Multidrug Tolerance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa by Inducing Superoxide Dismutase Activity and Lowering Envelope Permeability.

Author(s): Martins D, McKay GA, English AM, Nguyen D

Stressors and environmental cues shape the physiological state of bacteria, and thus how they subsequently respond to antibiotic toxicity. To understand how superoxide stress can modulate survival to bactericidal antibiotics, we examined the effect of intracellular superoxide generators, paraquat and menadione, on stationary-phase antibiotic tolerance of ...

LUMINOUS database: lumbar multifidus muscle segmentation from ultrasound images

Author(s): Belasso CJ; Behboodi B; Benali H; Boily M; Rivaz H; Fortin M;

Background: Among the paraspinal muscles, the structure and function of the lumbar multifidus (LM) has become of great interest to researchers and clinicians involved in lower back pain and muscle rehabilitation. Ultrasound (US) imaging of the LM muscle is a useful clinical tool which can be used in the assessment of muscle morphology and ...

Pain in Youth with Sickle Cell Disease: A Report from the Sickle Cell Clinical Research and Intervention Program.

Author(s): Alberts NM, Kang G, Li C, Richardson PA, Hodges J, Hankins JS, Klosky JL

OBJECTIVES: Pain is prevalent among youth with sickle cell disease (SCD). However, previous research has been limited by small sample sizes, and lacked examinations of developmental differences in pain - which are critical to minimizing the development of chronic pain as youth transition into adulthood. The primary aim of the current study was to compare ...

CCCDTD5 recommendations on early non cognitive markers of dementia: A Canadian consensus

Author(s): Montero-Odasso M; Pieruccini-Faria F; Ismail Z; Li K; Lim A; Phillips N; Kamkar N; Sarquis-Adamson Y; Speechley M; Theou O; Verghese J; Wallace L; Camicioli R;

Introduction: Cognitive impairment is the hallmark of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and related dementias. However, motor decline has been recently described as a prodromal state that can help to detect at-risk individuals. Similarly, sensory changes, sleep and behavior disturbances, and frailty h ...

Long-term effects of PM2·5 on neurological disorders in the American Medicare population: a longitudinal cohort study.

Author(s): Shi L, Wu X, Danesh Yazdi M, Braun D, Abu Awad Y, Wei Y, Liu P, Di Q, Wang Y, Schwartz J, Dominici F, Kioumourtzoglou MA, Zanobetti A

BACKGROUND: Accumulating evidence links fine particulate matter (PM2·5) to premature mortality, cardiovascular disease, and respiratory disease. However, less is known about the influence of PM2·5 on neurological disorders. We aimed to investigate the effect of long-term PM2·5 exposure on develop ...

Depression prevalence based on the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale compared to Structured Clinical Interview for DSM DIsorders classification: Systematic review and individual participant data meta-analysis

Author(s): Lyubenova A; Neupane D; Levis B; Wu Y; Sun Y; He C; Krishnan A; Bhandari PM; Negeri Z; Imran M; Rice DB; Azar M; Chiovitti MJ; Saadat N; Riehm KE; Boruff JT; Ioannidis JPA; Cuijpers P; Gilbody S; Kloda LA; Patten SB; Shrier I; Ziegelstei ...

Objectives: Estimates of depression prevalence in pregnancy and postpartum are based on the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) more than on any other method. We aimed to determine if any EPDS cutoff can accurately and consistently estimate depression prevalence in individual studies. Me ...

From Storybooks to Novels: A Retrospective Approach Linking Print Exposure in Childhood to Adolescence

Author(s): Tremblay B; Rodrigues ML; Martin-Chang S;

Despite the far-reaching advantages associated with leisure reading, it is an activity that fewer adolescents are choosing to pursue. The present study used a retrospective correlational approach to investigate shared storybook reading in childhood and current print exposure in 45 parent-adolescent dyads. Parents and adolescents completed a Retrospective ...

Infants Generalize Beliefs Across Individuals.

Author(s): Burnside K, Neumann C, Poulin-Dubois D

It has been argued that infants possess a rich, sophisticated theory of mind (ToM) that is only revealed with tasks based on spontaneous responses. A mature (ToM) implies the understanding that mental states are person specific. Previous studies on infants' understanding of motivational mental states, such as goals and preferences have revealed that, ...

Probability of Major Depression Classification Based on the SCID, CIDI, and MINI Diagnostic Interviews: A Synthesis of Three Individual Participant Data Meta-Analyses

Author(s): Wu Y; Levis B; Ioannidis JPA; Benedetti A; Thombs BD;

Introduction: Three previous individual participant data meta-analyses (IPDMAs) reported that, compared to the Structured Clinical Interview for the DSM (SCID), alternative reference standards, primarily the Composite International Diagnostic Interview (CIDI) and the Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI), tended to misclassify major depress ...

Predicting Interpersonal Outcomes From Information Processing Tasks Using Personally Relevant and Generic Stimuli: A Methodology Study

Author(s): Serravalle L; Tsekova V; Ellenbogen MA;

Despite evidence of differential processing of personally relevant stimuli (PR), most studies investigating attentional biases in processing emotional content use generic stimuli. We sought to examine differences in the processing of PR, relative to generic, stimuli across information processing tasks and to validate their use in predicting concurrent int ...

Gold Nano-Island Platforms for Localized Surface Plasmon Resonance Sensing: A Short Review.

Author(s): Badilescu S, Raju D, Bathini S, Packirisamy M

Nano-islands are entities (droplets or other shapes) that are formed by spontaneous dewetting (agglomeration, in the early literature) of thin and very thin metallic (especially gold) films on a substrate, done by post-deposition heating or by using other sources of energy. In addition to thermally generated nano-islands, more recently, nanoparticle films ...
