OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to determine the reliability and validity of the Postpartum Depression Screening Scale (PDSS) for the Turkish population. METHOD The research was conducted in the province of Ankara between 15 June 2003 and 15 February 2004. The study sample included 445 women in their 2nd-13th postpartum week. Data were collected with a sociodemographic form, PDSS, Beck De...

The Covid-19 pandemic and subsequently increased time spent at home signified the importance of understanding on link between housing mental health. This paper examines how qualities affect depression suicide ideation for each age group (i.e. young adults, middle-aged older adults) gender. With South Korea population-based panel data, fixed-effect models a partial least squares structural equat...

Abstract. The Lower Cretaceous Bashijiqike Formation of the Kuqa Depression is made up ultra-deeply buried sandstones in fold-and-thrust belts. Few researches have linked diagenetic processes with structure. To fill this gap, a comprehensive analysis integrating diagenesis structure pattern, fracture and situ stress performed following structural approach. results show that pore spaces include ...

An energy-balance numerical climate model was used to simulate the effects of the Mount St. Helens volcanic eruption of 18 May 1980. The resulting surface temperature depression is a maximum of 0.1 degrees C in the winter in the polar region, but is an order of magnitude smaller than the observed natural variability from other effects and will therefore be undetectable.

background: mothers are highly vulnerable to depression within the first year after childbirth. approximately 10-20% of mothers suffer from depression during this period, and half of these women with symptoms of prominent postpartum depression (ppd) remain undiagnosed. the edinburgh postnatal depression scale (epds) is the most widely applied screening instrument for ppd evaluation. in this stu...

objectives the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of fish oil supplementation on antenatal and postpartum depression score. methods this was a randomized, triple-blind, placebo-controlled trial. we enrolled 150 eligible pregnant women with edinburgh postnatal depression scale (epds) score of less than 20, aged 18 to 35 from feburary 2014 to april 2015 in tabriz, iran. participants wer...

Purpose. This study explores the social, biological, and genetic determinants of depression in later life. It adds complexity to the idea that later life depression is a natural outgrowth of vascular impairment, antagonistic pleiotropy, or compromised neuroanatomical structures. Approach. The study uses the NAS-NRC Twin Registry of World War II Veterans. The use of twins allows for the explorat...

Studies of short-term plasticity (STP) in the hippocampus, performed mostly at room temperature, have shown that small central synapses rapidly depress in response to high-frequency stimulation. This decrease in synaptic strength with synapse use places constraints on the use of STP as a dynamic filter for processing of natural high-frequency input. Here we report that, because of a strong but ...
