Clinical characterization of patients with bipolar disorder and a history of asthma: An exploratory study.

Introduction: Bipolar disorder (BD) and asthma are leading causes of morbidity in the US and frequently co-occur.

Objectives: We evaluated the clinical features and comorbidities of patients with BD and a history of asthma.

Methods: In a cross-sectional analysis from the Mayo Clinic Bipolar Biobank, we explored the clinical characteristics of the BD and an asthma phenotype and fitted a multivariable regression model to identify risk factors for asthma.

A matter of time: A systematic scoping review on a potential role of the circadian system in binge eating behavior.

Background: Emerging research suggests that food intake timing, eating behavior and food preference are associated with aspects of the circadian system function but the role that the circadian system may play in binge eating (BE) behavior in humans remains unclear.

Objective: To systematically evaluate the evidence for circadian system involvement in BE behavior.

Methods: Systematic searches of PubMed, EMBASE, and Scopus were performed for reports published from inception until May 2020 (PROSPERO Registration CRD42020186325).

Revisiting the bipolar disorder with migraine phenotype: Clinical features and comorbidity.

Introduction: To evaluate the prevalence and clinical correlates of lifetime migraine among patients with bipolar disorder (BD).

Methods: In a cross-sectional study, we evaluated 721 adults with BD from the Mayo Clinic Bipolar Disorder Biobank and compared clinical correlates of those with and without a lifetime history of migraine. A structured clinical interview (DSM-IV) and a clinician-assessed questionnaire were utilized to establish a BD diagnosis, lifetime history of migraine, and clinical correlates.
