Background: Despite previous research demonstrating an independent association between cognitive disengagement syndrome (CDS; previously termed sluggish cognitive tempo) and depressive symptoms, studies have yet to examine what factors may moderate this link. A negative interpretation bias (i.e.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFLittle research has examined early life risk for symptoms of cognitive disengagement syndrome (CDS) despite a well-established literature regarding co-occurring outcomes (e.g., attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder).

In accordance with the requirements for an S2k-guideline, this guideline was compiled following a search of the literature, and the various recommendations and statements were formally agreed upon by an interdisciplinary group of representative experts from Germany (DGGG, etc.), Austria (OEGGG) and Switzerland (SGGG) who met up several times under the aegis of the German Society for Gynecology and Obstetrics ( , DGGG).

A panel of six methylation markers (ASTN1, DLX1, ITGA4, RXFP3, SOX17, ZNF671; GynTect® assay) has shown promise in diagnosing cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN). Given the similarities between the carcinogenesis of cervix and vulva, this study aimed to investigate the suitability of these markers for diagnosing vulvar lesions.

However, undesirable side effects such as kinky tails and inflammatory changes may occur. The aim of the present study was to clinically quantify in a population with known segregation of tail length, i) its variability, ii) possible associations with kinked tails and iii) possible associations of tail length and kinks with inflammation of the tail using 348 piglets at day 3 (undocked) and 39 (docked tails) of life.
