Pharmacological treatment for mental health illnesses in adults receiving dialysis: A scoping review.

Background: Pharmacologic management of mental health illnesses in patients receiving dialysis is complex and lacking data.

Objective: Our objective was to synthesize published data for the treatment of depression, bipolar and related disorders, schizophrenia or psychotic disorders, and anxiety disorders in adults receiving hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis.

Methods: We undertook a scoping review, searching the following databases: Medline, Embase, CINAHL, PsycINFO, Cochrane Library, Scopus, and Web of Science.

Endosymbiotic Male-Killing Affects the Physiological and Behavioral Ecology of - Interactions.

While many arthropod endosymbionts are vertically transmitted, phylogenetic studies reveal repeated introductions of hemolymph-dwelling into . Introductions are often attributed to horizontal transmission via ectoparasite vectors. Here, we test if mites () prefer to infect Spiroplasma poulsonii MSRO ( sex ratio organism)-infected flies and if MSRO infection impairs fly resistance against secondary mite attack.

Ecology of fear: environment-dependent parasite avoidance among ovipositing .

Habitat avoidance is an anti-parasite behaviour exhibited by at-risk hosts that can minimize exposure to parasites. Because environments are often heterogeneous, host decision-making with regards to habitat use may be affected by the presence of parasites and habitat quality simultaneously. In this study we examine how the ovipositing behaviour of a cactiphilic fruit fly, Drosophila nigrospiracula, is affected by the presence of an ectoparasitic mite, Macrocheles subbadius, in conjunction with other environmental factors - specifically the presence or absence of conspecific eggs and host plant tissue.

Host Respiration Rate and Injury-Derived Cues Drive Host Preference by an Ectoparasite of Fruit Flies.

Host bioenergetics and energy fluxes can be applied to measure the ecological and physiological effects of parasitism. By measuring changes in host metabolic rate, one can estimate the physiological costs of infection. Additionally, metabolic rate dictates the rate of resource conversion within a host and, by extension, the resources available to a parasite.
