Objective: To describe trends in psychological health symptoms in Canadian youth from 2002 to 2014 and examine gender and socioeconomic differences in these trends. Method: We used data from the Canadian Health Behaviour in School-aged Children (HBSC) study. We assessed psychological symptoms from a validated symptom checklist and calculated a symptom score (range, 0-16). We stratified our analyses by gender and affluence tertile based on an index of material assets. We then plotted trends in symptom score and calculated the probability of experiencing specific symptoms over time. Results: Between 2002 and 2014, psychological symptom score increased by 1.01 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.73 to 1.41), 1.08 (95% CI, 0.79 to 1.37), and 0.84 (95% CI, 0.55 to 1.13) points in girls in the low-, middle-, and high-affluence tertiles, respectively. In boys, psychological symptoms decreased by –0.39 (95% CI, –0.66 to –0.12) and –0.12 (95% CI, –0.43 to 0.19) points in the high- and middle-affluence tertiles, respectively, and increased by 0.30 (95% CI, –0.04 to 0.63) points in the low-affluence tertile. The probability of feeling anxious and having sleep problems at least once a week notably increased in girls from all affluence groups, while the probability of feeling depressed and irritable decreased among boys from the high-affluence tertile. Conclusion: Psychological symptoms increased in Canadian adolescent girls across all affluence groups while they remained stable in boys from low and middle affluence and decreased in boys from high affluence. Specific psychological symptoms followed distinct trends. Further research is needed to uncover the mechanisms driving these trends.

Improve Sleep Quality

Susceptibility to peer influence among adolescents is associated with a variety of negative interpersonal and psychosocial outcomes. Although proper sleep is crucial for adolescent development and well-being, no study to date has examined the influence of sleep problems on susceptibility to peer influence. We assess this relationship using two waves of data ( n = 907; 50% male, 18% non-White) from the Study of Early Child Care and Youth Development (SECCYD). Results of a series of multivariate regression models demonstrate that sleep problems are positively associated with susceptibility to peer influence, net of pertinent demographic characteristics, theoretical controls, and prior susceptibility to peer influence. These findings suggest that efforts to improve sleep quality and quantity among adolescents, including educational sleep hygiene programs and later school start times, may serve to curtail susceptibility to peer influence and improve various aspects of wellbeing.

Delirium Superimposed On Dementia

ABSTRACTBackground: Persons with dementia frequently present behavioral and psychological symptoms as well as delirium. However, the association between these has received little attention from researchers and current knowledge in this area is limited. The purpose of this study was to examine the relation between delirium and behavioral symptoms of dementia (BSD).Methods: Participants were 155 persons with a diagnosis of dementia, 109 (70.3%) of whom were found delirious according to the Confusion Assessment Method. BSD were assessed using the Nursing Home Behavior Problem Scale.Results: Participants with delirium presented significantly more BSD than participants without delirium. More specifically, they presented more wandering/trying to leave, sleep problems, and irrational behavior after controlling for cognitive problems and use of antipsychotics and benzodiazepines. Most relationships between participant characteristics and BSD did not differ according to the presence or absence of delirium, but some variables, notably sleep problems, were more strongly associated to BSD in persons with delirium.Conclusions: Although correlates of BSD in persons with delirium superimposed on dementia are generally similar to those in persons with dementia alone, delirium is associated with a higher level of BSD. Results of this study have practical implications for the detection of delirium superimposed on dementia, the management of behavioral disturbances in patients with delirium, and caregiver burden.

Narrative Literature Review

Fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) has chronic widespread pain (CWP) as a core symptom and a variety of associated somatic and psychological symptoms such as fatigue, sleep problems, cognitive disturbances, multiple somatic pain, and depression. FMS is the subject of considerable controversy in the realm of nosology, diagnosis, pathophysiology, and treatment.Moreover, the fact that FMS and mental illness are closely associated with each other might intensify the confusion for the distinction between FMS and mental disorders. This narrative literature review aims to provide the concept, diagnosis, and treatment of FMS from the integrative biopsychosocial and psychosomatic perspective. This article first explains the concepts of FMS as a disease entity of biopsychosocial model, and then summarizes the changes of diagnostic criteria over past three decades, differential diagnosis and comorbidity issue focused on mental illnesses. In addition, an overview of treatment of FMS is presented mainly by arranging the recommendations from the international guidelines which have been developed by four official academic associations.

Dementia is a chronic or progressive neurodegenerative condition which is organic in origin. There will be impairment of thinking, memory orientation, comprehension, language, calculation, and judgement. Alzheimer's disease facts and gures in 2021 according to Alzheimer's association shows Alzheimer's disease accounts for 60% to 80% of the total cases. Behavioural and psychological symptoms of dementia also known as neuropsychiatric symptoms are a group of symptoms with behavioural and psychological manifestations. Disturbances include behavioural symptoms like wandering, hoarding, physical aggression, sexually disinhibition, culturally inappropriate behaviour, agitation and psychological symptoms like apathy, depression, anxiety, delusions, and hallucinations, sundowning, elation. Scales like the Neuropsychiatric Inventory, the Behavioural Pathology in Alzheimer Disease rating scale, the Consortium to Establish a Registry for Alzheimer Disease Behaviour Rating Scale for Dementia, Dementia Behaviour Disturbance scale, and the Neurobehavioral Rating Scale can be utilized to recognise BPSD.Neuropsychological assessment also have an important role. Non-pharmacological methodologies contain different sorts of treatment: tactile stimulation, pressure point massage, fragrant healing, light treatment, garden exercises, music therapy, dance therapy, and Snoezelen multisensory therapy, psychological strategies of multicomponent treatment strategies. Broadly focussing on sensory stimulation, social activities, structural activities, behavioural activities, environmental activities, and training programmes. Pharmacological treatment includes antipsychotics, mood stabilizers and antidepressants in treating BPSD, and cholinesterase inhibitors and memantine for the situation of Alzheimer's dementia sedative/hypnotics for sleep issues. Treatment can be further categorized based on individual NPS like agitation, psychosis, apathy, depression, sleep problems and other symptoms. Future treatment which has less evidence as of now includes rTMS, TDCS and Photo biomodulation therapy

AbstractIn differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC), the standard treatment includes total thyroidectomy and lifetime levothyroxine (LT4) replacement. However, long-term exogenous LT4 has become controversial due to the adverse effects of oversuppression. The study included 191 patients (aged 18–76 years) with a prospective diagnosis of non-metastatic DTC and 79 healthy individuals. The patients with DTC were stratified into three groups according to their TSH levels: suppressed thyrotropin if TSH was below 0.1 μIU/ml, mildly suppressed thyrotropin if TSH was between 0.11 and 0.49 μIU/ml, and low-normal thyrotropin if THS was between 0.5 and 2 μIU/ml. The Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), Anxiety Sensitivity Index (ASI), Short Symptom Inventory (SSI), and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) were administered to all participants. It was found that the BDI, BAI, SSI and PSQI scores were worse in patients with DTC (p=0.024, p=0.014, p=0.012, and p=0.001, respectively). According to theTSH levels, the mean ASI was found to be higher in the suppressed and mildly suppressed thyrotropin groups (19±14.4 vs. 10.6±11.1; 16.4±14.9 vs. 10.6±11.1, p=0.024, respectively), the mean SSI was found higher in the suppressed group (61.0±55.5 vs. 35.1±37.0, p=0.046), and the mean PSQI was higher in all three groups (7.94±3.97 vs. 5.35±4.13; 7.21±4.59 vs. 5.35±4.13; 7.13±4.62 vs. 5.35±4.13, p=0.006) when compared with the controls. No significant difference was found between the groups. A positive correlation was detected in the duration of LT4 use and BDI and SSI, and a weak, negative correlation was detected between TSH levels and ASI and PSQI. Based on our study, it was found that depression, anxiety disorders, and sleep problems were more prevalent in patients with DTC, being more prominent in the suppressed TSH group. These results were inversely correlated with TSH values and positively correlated with the duration of LT4 use. Unnecessary LT4 oversuppression should be avoided in patients with DTC.
