Exercise Addiction and Major Depressive Disorder - Clinical Diagnoses and Longitudinal Course.

Background: People at risk of exercise addiction report increased symptoms of psychopathology. The aim of this study was to clinically assess the lifetime prevalence of depressive disorders in individuals at risk of exercise addiction and to determine whether depressive symptoms tend to precede or follow excessive exercising.

Methods: Based on the Exercise Dependence Scale-21, a total of 31 individuals categorized at risk of exercise addiction underwent the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-5 to assess major depressive disorder (MDD).

The first reported case of a deletion of the entire RPGR gene in a family with X-linked retinitis pigmentosa.

Clinical phenotypes of a patient with a deletion of the entire gene have not been described in the literature yet. We hereby report a new mutation in a family of X-linked retinitis pigmentosa (×lRP), showing the deletion of the entire gene. Gene therapy for inherited retinal diseases holds great promise; however, so far there has been no approved treatment of -mediated retinitis pigmentosa.

Mental Disorders in Individuals With Exercise Addiction-A Cross-Sectional Study.

Exercise addiction has not yet been designated as an addictive disorder in the DSM-5 due to a lack of detailed research. In particular, associations with other psychiatric diagnoses have received little attention. In this study, individuals with a possible exercise addiction are clinically assessed, in order to establish a profile of co-occurring psychiatric disorders in individuals with exercise addiction.

Algorithm based on one monocular video delivers highly valid and reliable gait parameters.

Despite its paramount importance for manifold use cases (e.g., in the health care industry, sports, rehabilitation and fitness assessment), sufficiently valid and reliable gait parameter measurement is still limited to high-tech gait laboratories mostly.
