PHQ-A has clinical utility as a screening instrument for depressive disorders in outpatient adolescents with TBI when the cutoff for clinically significant concern is set at more than 4 and premorbid psychiatric history is also taken into account. To explore the perceived interactions between consequences of traumatic brain injury (TBI). Fifteen clinicians experienced in working with patients with TBI. Participating clinicians completed an online questionnaire in which they estimated the degree to which consequences of TBI (taken from the Brief ICF Core Set for Traumatic Brain Injury) causally relate to each other. Based on these perceived interactions, a visual network was constructed and centrality measures for this network were computed. The resulting network demonstrates various strong perceived causal relations between the consequences of TBI. Impairments in consciousness were perceived to most strongly cause other TBI consequences in the network. Difficulties with acquiring, keeping, and terminating a job were perceived to be most strongly caused by other TBI consequences. Difficulties in partaking in complex interpersonal interactions were also perceived to play a central role in the network. In the perception of clinicians, consequences of TBI interact with each other and are thus not solely a direct result of the injury. While more research is needed to map the interactions between consequences of TBI, our results could have important implications for the way we understand and treat the problems patients are faced with after TBI.In the perception of clinicians, consequences of TBI interact with each other and are thus not solely a direct result of the injury.

This study examined the effects of 6 weeks of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) on performance and health indicators in obese perimenopausal (PERIM) women and similarly aged and older postmenopausal women (POSTM1 and POSTM2, respectively). Sixteen PERIM women (average age 49.6 y), 21 POSTM1 women (average age 50.6 y), and 19 POSTM2 women (average age 69.6 y) completed a 6-week HIIT intervention. Anthropometric parameters, mechanical efficiency (ME in %), lipid oxidation (LO in %), and low and high spectral frequencies (LF[ms2] and HF[ms2]) were computed pre- and postintervention. PERIM women showed a significantly higher VO2max preintervention compared to POSTM1 and 2 (P < 0.01). Moreover, HF, LF, and the LF/HF ratio differed significantly in PERIM women preintervention compared to POSTM1 and 2 (P < 0.01, respectively). After 6 weeks, a significant decrease in anthropometric variables was observed for all groups (P < 0.01). The VO2max in mL/kg/min increased for all groups (P < 0.01). Multiple linear regression analysis demonstrated that age contributed significantly to differences in VO2max values between groups preintervention (r = 0.72). This model accounted for 34% (r2 = 0.34) of the variation. On the other hand, menopause status was an independent predictor of LO, accounting for 38% of the variation, as well as of HF (33%), LF (29%), and the LF/HF ratio (24%). After HIIT, no age or menopause effect was detected for these independent variables. Maximal oxygen consumption, HF, LF, and the LF/HF ratio differ among women according to the menopausal status and age. A 6-week HIIT intervention improved many health and performance parameters and reduced the effects of menopause and age.Maximal oxygen consumption, HF, LF, and the LF/HF ratio differ among women according to the menopausal status and age.

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of acupuncture on women with vasomotor symptoms during the menopausal transition with the aid of the Kupperman-Blatt Menopausal Index. Crossover, single-blind, sham-controlled trial with 100 women randomly divided into two groups of 50 participants each G1 and G2. During the first 24 weeks of treatment, the G1 women received acupuncture and the G2 women were given sham acupuncture. The crossover was then applied the G1 participants were given sham acupuncture, and the G2 participants received acupuncture for 24 more weeks. The mean score of hot flashes of the group who first experienced acupuncture (G1) was statistically higher than that of the group that started with sham acupuncture (G2, P = 0.020). Also, both groups had similar mean scores in the middle of the study (both were receiving acupuncture). During the last 6 months of the study, after crossover, the values of G2 (acupuncture) were lower than those of G1 (sham acupuncture). Acupuncture treatment may mitigate hot flashes and other climacteric symptoms during the menopausal transition.Acupuncture treatment may mitigate hot flashes and other climacteric symptoms during the menopausal transition. To evaluate predictors of bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy at hysterectomy and determine rate of unnecessary bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. Retrospective review of hysterectomies at six Ontario, Canada hospitals from July 2016 to June 2018. Data was extracted from health records coding and electronic medical records. Of patients with concurrent bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, age, preoperative diagnoses, surgical factors (presence of endometriosis/adhesions), and surgeon training (fellowship/no fellowship) were recorded. 4-PBA supplier Chi-square tests compared indicated and nonindicated bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy cases based on preoperative diagnosis. Criteria for unnecessary bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy were age under 51 years, benign preoperative diagnosis, and absence of intraoperative endometriosis and adhesions. Concurrent bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy occurred in 749/2,656 (28%) cases with 509/749 (68%) indicated based on preoperative diagnosis. There was interhospital variation in rate of indicated bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy based on preoperative diagnosis (45.
