The Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression is in common use, particularly in durg trials. The authors compared this scale with a system of psychiatric assessment and recording designed by M. Sim. They found that there was closer agreement with the full assessment of the Sim method than with the single diagnostic area for depression. This suggests that the Hamilton Scale for depression is more general than specific in its application.

Functional Remediation Improves Serum BDNF and TrkB Levels in Euthymic Patients with Bipolar Disorder: A Randomized Trial Study.
Neuropsychiatr Dis Treat
January 2025
Unit of Bipolar Disorder, Tianjin Anding Hospital, Tianjin, People's Republic of China.
Purpose: We aimed to verify the impact of functional remediation (FR) on serum brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and tyrosine kinase receptor B (TrkB) levels, to explore the biomechanism of FR intervention in patients with euthymic bipolar disorder (BD).
Patients And Methods: This is a randomized controlled, 12-week intervention study with participants randomized into the FR group (n=39) and the treatment as usual group (TAU, n=42) at the 1∶1 ratio. 17-Hamilton Depression Rating Scale-17 (HDRS-17), Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS), and Measurement and Treatment Research to Improve Cognition in Schizophrenia (MATRICS) Consensus Cognitive Battery (MCCB) were used to assess affective symptoms and cognitive functioning both at baseline and week 12, respectively.

January 2025
Department of Physiology, RUHS College of Medical Sciences, India.
Background: Previous research has shown that Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) is accompanied by severe impairments in cognitive and autonomic processes, which may linger even when mood symptoms recover. This study aimed to analyse the relationship between depression severity, as measured by the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAM-D), and how it affects heart rate variability (HRV) and cognitive function in patients with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD).
Methodology: The cross-sectional study was conducted at RUHS College of Medical Sciences and Associated Hospitals, Jaipur, from July 2022 to January 2023 on 90 subjects having major depressive disorder (MDD) of either sex in the 20-40 age group using the Hamilton score for depression (HAM D), Heart Rate Variability (HRV) measurements, and a battery of cognitive tests.
A systematic review of systematic reviews comparing simple trapeziectomy versus trapeziectomy with ligament reconstruction and tendon interposition for trapeziometacarpal osteoarthritis.

Division of Plastic Surgery, Department of Surgery, McMaster University, Hamilton, ON, Canada.
Background: The outcomes of simple trapeziectomy (T) versus trapeziectomy with ligament reconstruction and tendon interposition (LRTI) for trapeziometacarpal (TMC) osteoarthritis have been compared in several systematic reviews (SRs) with conflicting results across the various outcomes studied. Despite a lack of conclusions regarding the superiority of one treatment versus the other, LRTI remains the most popular surgical option. This raises the questions of whether published SRs are of high methodological quality, and whether discordant conclusions can be attributed to differences in methodologic quality.
