Objective: Selecting the right medication for major depressive disorder (MDD) is challenging, and patients are often on several medications before an effective one is found. Using patient EEG patterns with computer models to select medications is a potential solution, however, it is not widely performed. Therefore, we evaluated a commercially available EEG data analysis system to help guide medication selection in a clinical setting.

Importance: Correction of tricuspid regurgitation using tricuspid transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (T-TEER) in addition to guideline-directed optimized medical therapy (OMT) may improve clinical outcomes.
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of T-TEER + OMT vs OMT alone in patients with severe, symptomatic tricuspid regurgitation.
Design, Setting, And Participants: Investigator-initiated, prospective, randomized (1:1) trial evaluating T-TEER + OMT vs OMT alone in adult patients with severe, symptomatic tricuspid regurgitation.
Background: Trend estimates from national surveys over the last 20 years have suggested converging rates of alcohol use over time between adult men and women. However, limited research has utilized an intersectional lens to examine how sociodemographic characteristics influence gender differences in these trends.
Methods: The current study used data from the National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) to examine whether gender intersected with race/ethnicity, age, education level, marital status, employment status, household income, and urbanicity on temporal trends (2009-2019) in alcohol use disorder (AUD).
Article Synopsis
- Postpartum depression (PPD) is a serious condition impacting both mothers and children, making it essential to study trends and risk factors related to its prevalence.
- A recent study analyzed over 442,000 pregnancies from Kaiser Permanente Southern California between 2010 and 2021, examining the relationship between PPD and factors like race, ethnicity, and prepregnancy body mass index (BMI).
- Results showed that PPD rates doubled from 9.4% in 2010 to 19.0% in 2021, with the highest increases among Asian/Pacific Islander and non-Hispanic Black populations, and worsening rates were particularly noted in individuals with obesity.
