BACKGROUND: Depression, anxiety and insomnia often co-occur. However, there is a lack of research regarding how they cluster and how this is related to medication used to treat them. AIMS: To describe the frequencies and associations between depression, anxiety and insomnia, and treatment for these conditions in primary care. METHOD: A retrospective cohort study using UK electronic primary care records. We included individuals aged between 18 and 99 years old with one or more records suggesting they had a diagnosis, symptom or drug treatment for anxiety, depression or insomnia between 2015 and 2017...

INTRODUCTION: Electroencephalographic neurofeedback (NFB), as a non-invasive form of brainwave training, has been shown to be effective in the treatment of various mental health disorders. However, only few results regarding manualised and standardised NFB trainings exist. This makes comparison as well as replication of studies difficult. Therefore, we developed a standard manual for NFB training in patients with mental health disorders attending a psychosomatic outpatient clinic. The current study aims at investigating the conduction of a standardised manual for NFB training in patients with mental health disorders...

IMPORTANCE: Although insomnia guidelines recommend the use of several individual hypnotics, the most useful hypnotic for treating insomnia in a clinical setting remains unclear. OBJECTIVE: To determine which guideline-recommended hypnotics have lower risks of monotherapy failure and which hypnotics have a higher risk of long-term prescription for insomnia treatment. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: This retrospective observational cohort study used data from the Japan Medical Data Center Claims Database from April 1, 2005, to March 31, 2021...

REVIEW

In this review, we discuss the potential role of cannabis and cannabinoids in the management of cancer-related symptoms. There is limited evidence demonstrating the effectiveness of cannabis-based products in treating cancer-related pain and gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and loss of appetite. Regarding the role of cannabis-based products in the treatment of insomnia and mood disorders, most studies looked at these symptoms as secondary outcomes with mixed results. Cannabis-based products have adverse effects, ranging from neuropsychiatric to systemic effects to potential drug interactions...

Objective - to measure poor sleep quality, its components, and the variables that contribute to it in a cohort of pregnant women across time. Four hundred and eighty-six strong singleton pregnancies were collected ahead of the fourteenth gestational week. Data on poor sleep quality were gathered before pregnancy and analyzed five distinct times in each trimester and six months after delivery. "Poor sleep quality (PSQ) was defined as a score of fewer than eight on the Athens Insomnia Scale (AIS), and for each trimester, adjusted odds ratios (aOR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI)"were acquired by use of multivariate logistic regression analysis...

Aims: Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) medication is frequently associated with adverse events (AEs), but limited real-world data exist regarding their costs from a payer's perspective. Therefore, this study evaluated the healthcare costs associated with common AEs among adult patients treated for ADHD in the US. Materials and methods: Eligible adults treated for ADHD were identified from a large US claims database (10/1/2015─9/30/2021). A retrospective cohort study design was used to assess excess healthcare costs and costs directly related to AE-specific claims per-patient-per-month (PPPM) associated with 10 selected AEs during ADHD treatment...

METHODS: A nationwide questionnaire-based survey was conducted on HCWs who worked in healthcare facilities and public health centers in Korea in December 2020. Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) and Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7) were used to measure depression and anxiety...

BACKGROUND: When taken as prescribed, endocrine therapy is effective in reducing risk of recurrence and mortality in the treatment of patients with breast cancer. However, treatment side effects can act as a barrier to medication adherence. Existing research has not identified any specific side effects as consistent predictors of nonadherence. Our aim was to explore the influence of symptom clusters on self-reported adherence in patients with breast cancer. METHODS: A cross-sectional online survey was conducted, including patients with breast cancer currently or previously prescribed endocrine therapy (N = 1051)...

BACKGROUND: Patients having COPD share some factors, e.g., chronic hypoxemia, anemia of chronic disease and nicotine use, which are also the risk factors for RLS hence predispose them to experience RLS in higher then general population. There are limited studies with methodological constraints evaluating the prevalence and/or correlates of RLS among patients with COPD. METHODS: Consecutive adult patients of either gender, having stable COPD as per GOLD guidelines 2021, were assessed for RLS using IRLSSG (2014) criteria (excluding RLS mimics) and the severity of RLS was determined in participants having RLS...

In this study, we investigate the veliparib‑induced toxicity in cancer patients. Databases were searched for RCTs treated with veliparib. We found veliparib could increase the risk of hematologic and gastrointestinal toxicities. Anemia, neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, and nausea were the most common toxicities. Patients diagnosed with gastrointestinal tumors tend to have a higher risk of high-grade neutropenia; patients in the first-line setting tend to have a higher risk of high-grade anemia and neutropenia than those in the ≥ second line setting...

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: With the rapidly changing landscape of state level legalization of cannabis, older adults have become one of the fastest growing populations seeking medical cannabis (MC). However, research evidence on the risks and benefits of MC use in this population remains limited. This review aims to synthesize recent literature on the impacts of MC use in older adults and identify critical knowledge gaps to be addressed in future research. RECENT FINDINGS: Recent literature showed that older adults often face financial and/or educational barriers and stigma associated with MC access...
