The role of bipolar disorder and family wealth in choosing creative occupations.

Research in psychology and medicine has linked mental health disorders, and particularly bipolar disorder (BD), to employment in creative professions. Little is known, however, about the mechanisms for this link, which could be due to biology (primarily through a person's genes) or environmental (through socioeconomic status). Using administrative data on mental health diagnoses and occupations for the population of Denmark, we find that people with BD are more likely to be musicians than the population, but less likely to hold other creative jobs.

Cutaneous adnexal carcinoma with apocrine differentiation is a rare neoplasm arising from cutaneous adnexa, especially of the head and neck and trunk region. Because of its rarity, the diagnosis is challenging and often impossible to distinguish from metastatic cutaneous adenocarcinoma of the breast. The standard of care remains surgery for resectable disease.

We describe the neuroradiologic, histologic, and genetic features of a very unusual intracranial dural metastasis from adenoid cystic carcinoma of the parotid gland detected 27 years after the initial diagnosis.

Yoga Protocol for Cancer Patients: A Systematic Exploration of Psychophysiological Benefits.

Background: Several studies report that practicing Yoga may lead to numerous psychophysiological benefits in patients undergoing treatment for cancer.
