Objectives: This study identified profiles of outpatient physician follow-up care and other practice features, mostly after detection of incident mental disorders (MD), and associated these profiles with patient characteristics and subsequent adverse outcomes.
Methods: A cohort of 170,957 patients age 12 + with a new or recurrent MD detected in 2019-20 was investigated based on data from the Quebec Integrated Chronic Disease Surveillance System. Latent class analysis was performed to identify follow-up care profiles, mostly within one year of MD detection.

Background: Cardiovascular (CV) pathologies remain a leading cause of death worldwide, often associated with common comorbidities such as overweight, obesity, type 2 diabetes or hypertension. An innovative mouse model of metabolic syndrome induced by postnatal overfeeding (PNOF) through litter size reduction after birth was developed experimentally. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of PNOF on cardiac remodelling and the development of heart failure following myocardial infarction.

Article Synopsis
- The study examined how sex and age influenced the use of psychotropic medications before and after the diagnosis of Cluster B personality disorders among individuals in Quebec from 2002 to 2018.
- It found that after diagnosis, women were more likely to be prescribed psychiatric medications than men, who tended to receive more antipsychotics and ADHD medications instead.
- The results highlight significant differences in medication use based on sex and age, suggesting the necessity for tailored psychiatric care that considers these factors.
