Article Abstract

Aim: To explore the prevalence of residual symptoms (both depressive and manic) and their correlates in subjects with bipolar disorder in clinical remission.

Methodology: This multicentric cross-sectional study included patients in clinical remission recruited across the 14 centers. The patients were evaluated on the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS) and Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS) for the prevalence of residual symptoms. A score of ≤7 on both scales defined the presence of residual symptoms.

Results: Four-fifth (79.8%) of the participants had residual symptoms, with 130 (16.8%) having only residual depressive symptoms, 74 (9.6%) having only residual manic symptoms, and 413 (53.4%) having both depressive and manic residual symptoms, on HDRS and YMRS. The residual symptoms were related to the polarity of the most recent episode and the lifetime predominant polarity. Higher numbers of lifetime depressive episodes are associated with higher residual depressive symptoms, and higher numbers of lifetime manic episodes are associated with higher chances of having residual manic symptoms.

Conclusions: A large proportion of patients with bipolar disorder have residual symptoms during the remission phase. Clinicians need to make efforts to identify and address the same to improve the treatment outcome.

Background: Patent foramen ovale (PFO) has been identified as a potential risk factor for cryptogenic stroke (CS). Although transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is considered the gold standard for PFO detection, false-negative results remain a clinical concern, particularly in CS patients with high suspicion of PFO-related etiology.

Aims: To evaluate the clinical utility of transcatheter PFO exploration (TPFOE) in CS patients with negative TEE findings but high suspicion of PFO-related etiology.

This study aimed to report clinical outcomes of topical chemotherapy for ocular adnexal sebaceous carcinoma (OaSC) with intraepithelial spread. A retrospective chart review of patients with OaSC treated at the Bascom Palmer Eye Institute between 2000 and 2023 was conducted. Patient inclusion criteria included: (1) biopsy-proven diagnosis of OaSC, (2) intraepithelial pagetoid involvement confirmed by conjunctival map biopsy, (3) implementation of topical chemotherapy for tumor control, and (4) repeat conjunctival map biopsy following cessation of topical chemotherapy.

Background: Female athletes are more susceptible to sports-related concussions and experience greater and prolonged symptomatology. Changes in the cervico-vestibular systems have been observed in the acute phase post-concussion, but it is unknown if residual impairments persist in the following 12 months.

Objectives: To determine if there was an association between baseline screening of the cervical spine, vestibular and oculomotor systems in female athletes with and without a history of concussion.

Introduction And Hypothesis: To translate and perform cultural adaptation of the Pelvic Floor Dysfunction-SENTINEL (PFD-SENTINEL) screening tool into Turkish and to establish its reliability and validity for female athletes.

Methods: The study included 200 female athletes (mean age 22 ± 4 years). The translation of the PFD-SENTINEL, which comprised the symptoms related to PFD and item sections related to general risk factors and sports-related risk factors, was performed in accordance with international recommendations.
