Objective: To find differences in heart rate before and after refeeding and to identify which parameters of autonomic activity and endocrine function are associated with these differences.
Methods: Before and after the start of refeeding, body weight, RR interval (RRI), heart rate variability, endocrine function, and energy expenditure were measured in nine female anorexia nervosa patients.
Results: After short-term refeeding, mean daytime heart rate rose from 54.
Objectives: The objectives of the study were to find the prevalence of major depressive disorder (MDD) in male climacteric outpatients in Japan, and to determine whether symptoms on the Aging Males' Symptoms (AMS) scale scores differed between patients with and without MDD, with the aim of increasing the specificity of future symptoms scales for partial androgen deficiency of the aging male (PADAM).
Methods: Eighty-three patients aged 40-70 who visited the male-climacteric services as outpatients were assessed using three items: a self-administered questionnaire corresponding to diagnosis for MDD, the Beck Depression Inventory, and the AMS scale.
Results: Almost half the patients had MDD.
