Aims: To investigate the differences in disrupted rhythms between healthy people and patients with functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs) and their associations with mood disorders during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Methods: The rhythm scales were composed of subscales 1 and 2 for the assessment of life-work and entertainment rhythms, respectively; Zung’s Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS) were used to assess mood disorders. Results: A total of 671 patients with FGIDs and 4373 healthy people successfully participated. The scores of subscales 1 and 2 for patients with FGIDs were significantly higher than those for healthy people ( p < .005). The SAS and SDS scores, their prevalence rates were significantly higher than those for the healthy group (all p < .001). Health status, current occupation, life-work rhythm, SDS, and SAS were independent related factors of FGIDs. The score of life-work-entertainment rhythm was significantly positively correlated with SDS and SAS (both p < .001). Conclusion: Disrupted rhythms in patients with FGIDs under the COVID-19 pandemic were more frequently and significantly positively associated with mood disorders.

Based on multimodal functional magnetic resonance imaging technology, explore the changes of local brain function in the whole brain range of patients with primary insomnia at rest, and conduct correlation analysis to explore the relationship between this locality and function and clinical features. Provide further imaging evidence for the exploration of the neural mechanism of primary insomnia. Using multimodal functional magnetic resonance imaging, self-rating anxiety scale, self-rating depression scale to assess the status anxiety factor and trait anxiety of STAI in patients with primary insomnia (88 cases) and normal sleepers (82 cases). Factors and total scores, depressive mental disorders and total scores were statistically significantly different from the normal sleep group. The study found that patients with primary insomnia under the multimodal functional magnetic resonance imaging assisted treatment have abnormal local functional activities in multiple brain regions such as emotions and sensorimotor regions. We explored the brain of patients with primary insomnia from the perspective of functional differentiation. Changes in nerve activity are conducive to further understanding the characteristics of nerve activity in primary insomnia.

Abstract Introduction Depression causes and worsens malnutrition. The prevalence of malnutrition in the elderly of the developed world was about 22.6% and about 40% of hospitalized elderly are malnourished while about 4.8% have one major depressive episode in people aged 50 and above. Food rich in omega-3 has antidepressant effect and its low intake is linked with dementia. Decrease dietary folate has been linked with depression. This study was aimed at determining the relationship between depression and nutritional status among the elderly in selected primary healthcare centers (PHC) in Lagos Nigeria. Method A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted using multi-stage technique to select 219 participants by systematic sampling method from the selected PHC centers. Data was collected using structured interviewer-administered questionnaires. Nutritional status and Depression were assessed using Mini-Nutritional Assessment and Geriatric Depression Scale respectively. Data analysis was carried out using Epi-info 7.1. Associations were tested using Chi-square for categorical variables while t-test and analysis of variance were used for continuous variables. Associations were statistically significant if two-tailed probability was less than 5% (0.05). Results It was found that 57.9% and 47.1% were malnourished and depressed respectively. There was a statistically significant association between the sex of the participants and the nutritional status (p = 0.048). Statistically significant association existed between sex (p = 0.024), marital status (p = &lt;0.001), educational qualification and depression. Statistically significant association between monthly income (p = &lt;0.001), living arrangement (p = 0.002) and depression was demonstrated. There was a statistically significant association between family support (p = &lt;0.001), nutritional status (p = &lt;0.001) and depression. There was statistically significant difference between the height (p = 0.00885), weight (p = 0.00052, waist-hip ratio (p = 0.036) and the nutritional status. Remarkably, there was statistically significant difference between the waist (p = 0.023) and hip circumference (p = 0.047) and their level of depression. Conclusion A high prevalence of poor nutritional status and depression existed among the elderly primary healthcare centers.

OBJETIVO: Procuramos avaliar a eficácia terapêutica de estabilizadores interespinosos na doença degenerativa lombar, e a evolução do índice de depressão e somatização de sintomas preexistentes nesses pacientes. MÉTODOS: Estudamos 20 pacientes com estenose de canal lombar. Considerados diversos critérios de inclusão, os pacientes concordaram em participar do estudo assinando o consentimento livre e esclarecido. Na avaliação clínica e psicossomática utilizamos: Escore Euroqol (EQ-5D); escala visual analógica (EVA) lombar e dos membros inferiores; Oswestry Disability Index versão 2.0 e Modified Somatic Perception Questionnaire (MSPQ) e Zung Self-Rating Depression Scale (ZDS). A análise estatística foi realizada com os testes de Friedman e Wilcoxon, sendo o nível de significância 0,05. RESULTADOS: Existiu uma melhoria em EQ-5D (p<0,001), EVA lombar e dos membros inferiores (p<0,001), ODI (p<0,001), sem alterações significativas no MSPQ (p=0,197). CONCLUSÃO: Em pacientes com doença degenerativa lombar (grau 2 e 3 de Benzel e 3 e 4 de Pfirmann), estáveis em termos psicossomáticos, o uso de estabilizadores interespinosos revelou-se eficaz considerando a evolução clínica e o índice de depressão preexistente relacionado com a patologia diagnosticada.

Abstract BackgroundThe outbreak of novel 2019 coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has imposed an enormous physical and psychological pressure on people across the world. This study focused on evaluating the prevalence and influencing factors of anxiety and depression symptoms in surgical nurses during the epidemic in China. MethodA cross-sectional, multicenter quantitative study was conducted in Anhui province (China) from March 3, 2020 to March 19, 2020, with a questionnaire package which consisted of general information questionnaire，Zung's self-rating anxiety scale (SAS), Zung's self-rating Depression Scale (SDS) and social support rating scale (SSRS). A total of 3600 surgical nurses participated in the survey by Wechat and QQ. Data were analysed using multiple linear regression models. ResultsA total of 3492 surgical nurses from 12tertiary hospitals and 12 secondary hospitals in one province of mainland China completed the survey. The prevalence rates of anxiety symptoms and depressive symptoms were 24.83% and 22.39%, respectively. The average level of anxiety and depression of surgical nurses were higher than that of the Chinese norm (P< 0.05).Levels of social support for surgical nurses were significantly negatively associated with the degree of anxiety (r = -0.630, P < 0.001) and depression (r = -0.578, P < 0.001). Fertility status (β = 1.469, P = 0.003), hospital (β = -0.611, P < 0.001), participation in care for COVID-19 patients (β = 2.229, P < 0.001), likelihood of being infected with COVID-19 (β = 1.146, P < 0.001), social support (β = -0.623, P < 0.001) were significantly influencing surgical nurses’ anxiety degree. Similarly, these characteristics were significantly associated with the odds of experiencing depression symptoms in surgical nurses. Divorce and widowed surgical nurses (β = -2.654, P < 0.001) were significantly more likely to experience depressive symptoms than single nurses. ConclusionIn this survey, we found that the surgical nurses had high anxiety and depression symptoms during the COVID-19 outbreak in China. The findings suggest that targeted psychological interventions to promote the mental health of surgical nurses with psychological problems need to be immediately implemented.
