BACKGROUND Increasing evidence suggests that psychosocial factors, including depression predict incident venous thromboembolism (VTE) against a background of genetic and acquired risk factors. The role of psychosocial factors for the risk of recurrent VTE has not previously been examined. We hypothesized that depressive symptoms in patients with prior VTE are associated with an increased risk o...

BACKGROUND Depression has been related to mortality in coronary heart disease (CHD) patients, but few studies have evaluated the role of anxiety or the role of the co-occurrence of depression and anxiety. We examined whether anxiety is associated with increased risk of mortality after accounting for depression in individuals with established CHD. METHODS AND RESULTS The cohort was composed of...

INTRODUCTION Pregnancy is generally viewed as a time of fulfillment and joy; however, for many women it can be a stressful event. In South Asia it is associated with cultural stigmas revolving around gender discrimination, abnormal births and genetic abnormalities. METHODOLOGY This cross-sectional study was done at four teaching hospitals in Lahore from February, 2014 to June, 2014. A total o...

AE UMa, a Population I high amplitude Delta Scuti (HADS), was observed for 4 nights through 14-21 March 2022. 454 Visual CMOS observations and 11 new times of maxima were obtained over period ~19.4 hours in total. Using python coding Fourier analysis, fundamental frequency ƒ0 = 11.6251 cd-1 established further observation amplitudes light led to beat phenomenon Pb 0.29360 d. Subsequently, the f...

BACKGROUND The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) is a questionnaire widely used for detecting anxiety and depressive disorders. It is used extensively in France, but has never been the subject of a full study in a population at work. The objectives of this study were to present some psychometric properties of the HADS on a large sample of French employees. METHOD The HADS questionn...

BACKGROUND Chronic hand eczema is a common dermatological disorder of multifactorial aetiology. It affects physical, material, social and psychological aspects of life, thereby impairing health-related quality of life. OBJECTIVES The aim of the present study was to assess quality of life, anxiety, depression and obsessive-compulsive tendencies in patients with chronic hand eczema. MATERIALS...

BACKGROUND Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the most common form of heart disease and a leading cause of death worldwide. Extensive clinical and statistical studies have identified several factors that increase the risk of CAD and myocardial infarction. AIM To investigate the relationship between severity of CAD, anxiety, depression, and health-related quality of life (HRQoL). METHODS A tot...

Objective Although the diagnosis and treatment of cancer is associated with psychosocial distress, routine distress screening is difficult in hospitalized oncology settings. We developed a consecutive screening program for psychosocial distress to promote psychiatric treatment of cancer patients and evaluated the feasibility of our program by Distress Thermometer (DT) and Hospital Anxiety and D...

Elements 112 through 118 are expected to be very volatile due to strong relativistic effects on their valence electrons. Their volatility is to be studied via the gas-phase thermochromatography technique by measuring the adsorption enthalpy, ∆Hads, on gold plated detectors located along the chromatography column (see results for elements 112 and 114 [1,2]). The obtained ∆Hads is then related to...

Abstract In this work, the pulsation analysis is performed on 83 high-amplitude δ Scuti stars (HADS), which have been observed by Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite. The results show that 49 of these HADS single-mode pulsation, 27 them radial double-modes (in 22 pulsate with fundamental and first overtone modes five second modes), seven triple-modes (three are newly confirmed triple-mode HAD...
