Objective: to study the structure of NMS, their frequency and clinical significance at all stages of PD; to conduct a comparative analysis of the structure of NMS in PD, depending on the stage, form of the disease and gender characteristics of patients.Material and methods: examined 100 patients with PD, 31 patients as the control, and 11 patients as the comparison with Parkinson’s syndrome. The severity of movement disorders was assessed using the Hen and Yar scale. All patients with PD were also clinically assessed according to the UPDRS scale (parts II, III). Cognitive functions were assessed according to the Montreal CI scale (MOCA). The patients’ neuropsychological status was assessed using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS).Results: vegetative disorders are a frequent manifestation of PD; they differ significantly depending on the gender of the patient and on the stage of the disease. In 20% of patients with PD clinically pronounced depression and severe cognitive impairment were revealed. Conclusion: non‑motor disorders are distinguished by a wide variety of manifestations and combinations, and their structure changes significantly from early to late stages of PD. The presence of NMS is an obligatory sign of PD. Although the structure of non‑motor manifestations of the disease is not specific, attention is drawn to the combination of more than ten different NMS in most patients, which does not occur with natural aging.

Kognitive Funktionen

Die in mehreren Studien gefundenen kognitiven Störungen bei Tumorpatienten nach Chemotherapie werden zumeist mit der Zytostatikaneurotoxizität assoziiert. In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird der Zusammenhang von Angst, Depression und Posttraumatischer Belastungsstörung mit der kognitiven Leistungsfähigkeit bei Frauen mit Mammakarzinom untersucht. Insgesamt wurden 76 Brustkrebspatientinnen fünf Jahre nach Abschluss der onkologischen Behandlung mit neuropsychologischen Testverfahren sowie mit der Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale – Deutsche Version (HADS-D) und der Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Checklist – Civilian Version (PCL-C) untersucht: 23 nach Standard- und 24 nach Hochdosistherapie sowie 29 nach Brustoperation und Strahlentherapie als Vergleichsgruppe. Signifikante Zusammenhänge sind vor allem zwischen kognitiven Funktionen und Intrusionssymptomen einer Posttraumatischen Belastungsstörung (PTBS) festzustellen. Bei Patientinnen nach Standardtherapie weisen Intrusionen der PTBS einen moderaten Zusammenhang mit der globalen kognitiven Beeinträchtigung auf. Die Ergebnisse der Studie deuten auf multidimensionale Einfluss- und moderierende Faktoren bei der Entwicklung kognitiver Defizite bei Brustkrebspatientinnen nach onkologischer Therapie hin.

Zusammenfassung. Der Whiteley-Index ist ein Instrument zur Erfassung von Hypochondrie. Für diesen Fragebogen wurde eine Normierungs- und Validierungsstudie anhand einer bevölkerungsrepräsentativen Stichprobe (n = 1996) durchgeführt. Hypochondrie zeigt eine etwa lineare Altersabhängigkeit (r = .24). Frauen haben in allen Altersstufen höhere Hypochondrie-Ausprägungen als Männer. Für verschiedene Alters- und Geschlechtsgruppen werden Normwerte bereit gestellt. Die in der Literatur beschriebene dreidimensionale Struktur des Whiteley-Index (Krankheitsängste, somatische Beschwerden und Krankheitsüberzeugung) konnte mit gewissen Einschränkungen bestätigt werden. Validierungsuntersuchungen mit anderen Instrumenten (Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory, Gießener Beschwerdebogen, Screening für Somatoforme Störungen und Nottingham Health Profile) zeigten, dass eine auf sieben Items reduzierte Kurzskala der Gesamtskala mit 14 Items ebenbürtig ist. Für differenzierte Analysen wird jedoch die Originalskala empfohlen. Durch die angegebenen Normwerte ist es künftig besser möglich, Patientengruppen verschiedener Alters- und Geschlechtsverteilungen untereinander oder auch mit Stichproben der Normalbevölkerung zu vergleichen.

Background: Studies have shown that caregivers of the persons with the neurological illness have high levels of psychological distress, depression and caregiver’s burden. The aim of the study was to find out anxiety, depression and caregiver’s burden among the caregivers of persons with neurological illness (PWNI). Method: Thirty caregivers of PWNI attending the Centre of Rehabilitation Sciences, LGB Regional Institute of Mental Health, Tezpur, Assam were selected using purposive sampling technique for the present study. Socio-demographic and clinical data sheet, Zarit Burden Interview Scale and The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale were used. Results: The results shown that in Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, 26.6% of the caregivers' scores were in the abnormal range in the domain of depression. While in the domain of anxiety, 16.6% scored in the abnormal range. In Zarit Burden of Scale, 13.3% of the caregivers were having little or no burden, 26.6% of the caregivers were having mild to moderate level of burden, 20% were having moderate to severe burden and 30% were having a severe burden of care. Care burden has significant positive correlation with depression (r= .124, p≤ 0.01 and anxiety (r= .124, p≤ 0.05). Conclusion: Caregivers of PWNI have been found to be at higher risk of mental health problems and care burden. The importance of addressing the burden of caregivers involved in the care of PWNI need to be taken into consideration while providing treatment and rehabilitation of PWNI.     Keywords: Anxiety, depression, burden, neurological illness

Abstract Background The aim of this investigation was to examine the longitudinal association between change in insomnia status and the development of anxiety and depression in the general population. Methods A survey was mailed to 5000 randomly selected individuals (aged 18–70 years) in two Swedish counties. After 6 months, a follow-up survey was sent to those (n = 2333) who answered the first questionnaire. The follow-up survey was completed by 1887 individuals (80.9%). The survey consisted of questions indexing insomnia symptomatology, socio-demographic parameters, and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale. Change in insomnia status was assessed by determining insomnia at the two time-points and then calculating a change index reflecting incidence (from non-insomnia to insomnia), remission (from insomnia to non-insomnia), or status quo (no change). Multivariate binary logistic regression analyses were used to examine the aim. Results Incident insomnia was significantly associated with an increased risk for the development of new cases of both anxiety (OR = 0.32, p < .05) and depression (OR = 0.43, p < .05) 6 months later. Incident insomnia emerged also as significantly associated with an elevated risk for the persistence of depression (OR = 0.30, p < .05), but not for anxiety. Conclusions This study extends previous research in that incidence in insomnia was shown to independently increase the risk for the development of anxiety and depression as well as for the maintenance of depression. The findings imply that insomnia may be viewed as a dynamic risk factor for anxiety and depression, which might have implications for preventative work.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the psychological distress of urological and uro-oncological patients undergoing surgery. Methods: Patients who presented to Mercy University Hospital from October 2019–May 2020 were consecutively recruited. Demographic and clinical characteristics including age, gender, marital status, type of surgery (uro-oncology or general urology), endoscopy or open surgery were gathered. Mood was evaluated using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale prior to admission, prior to discharge and 6 weeks post-surgery. Results: A total of 118 participants (79.7% male) completed the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale prior to admission, prior to discharge and at 6 weeks post-surgery. Forty patients (33.9%) underwent uro-oncology-related surgery. At pre-admission 39 patients (33%) fell into a possible-probable clinical category for anxiety and 15 (12.7%) for depression. Older patients had significantly lower anxiety levels than younger patients ( p⩽0.01). There were no differences between patients undergoing uro-oncology or more general urology surgery and levels of anxiety or depression. Repeated measures analysis of variance with age as a covariate indicated no significant differences in Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale anxiety scores over time. There was a statistically significant reduction in Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale depression scores over the three assessment time points ( p=0.004). Conclusion: Over one-third of patients were experiencing moderate to severe levels of psychological distress pre-surgery – higher than levels previously reported in uro-oncological patients. Surprisingly, there was no difference in anxiety and depression scores in uro-oncology and urology patients. Psychological distress in both uro-oncology and more general urology patients should be considered in the surgical setting. Level of evidence Moderate
