Objective: To examine the prevalence, incidence, and risk factors of hypertension in patients with bipolar disorder in Taiwan.
Method: The National Health Research Institute provided a database of 1,000,000 random subjects for study in Taiwan. Study subjects ≥ 18 years or older had at least one service claim during 2005 for either outpatient or inpatient care, with a primary or secondary diagnosis of hypertension combined with antihypertensive drug treatment were identified. We also compared the incidence of hypertension in patients with bipolar disorder and the general population from 2006 through 2010.
Results: The 1-year prevalence of hypertension in patients with bipolar disorder was higher than the general population (18.13% vs. 13.22%, odds ratio, 1.43; 95% confidence interval, 1.25-1.64) in Taiwan. Compared with the general population, patients with bipolar disorder had a higher prevalence of hypertension among 18- to 39-year-olds and 40- to 59-year-olds, in both sexes, and in the group with lower socioeconomic status. The average annual incidence of hypertension in patients with bipolar disorder from 2006 to 2010 was higher than the general population (2.83% vs. 1.99%, risk ratio, 1.40; 95% confidence interval, 1.20-1.62). Patients with bipolar disorder had a higher incidence of hypertension among 18- to 39-year-olds and 40- to 59-year-olds and in both sexes compared with the general population.
Conclusions: Patients with bipolar disorder had a higher prevalence and a higher incidence of hypertension than those in the general population. Prevention, early detection, and comprehensive treatment of hypertension are important issues for patients with bipolar disorder.

Endoscopic-Ultrasound-Guided Radiofrequency Ablation for Pancreatic Tumors.

Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a promising minimally invasive technique for the treatment of pancreatic lesions. This review first focuses on the technical aspects in EUS-RFA: the procedure typically employs EUS probes with integrated radiofrequency electrodes, enabling accurate targeting and ablation of pancreatic lesions. Different types of RFA devices, monopolar and bipolar energy delivery systems, are discussed, along with considerations for optimal ablation, including energy settings, procedure time, and pre- and post-procedural management.

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a disorder that starts in childhood, sometimes persisting into adulthood. It puts a strain on their social, professional, family, and environmental lives, which can exacerbate disorders such as anxiety, depression, and bipolar disorder. : This paper aims to predict ADHD in children and adults and explain the main factors impacting this disorder.

Background: ClockΔ19 mice demonstrate behavioral characteristics and neurobiological changes that closely resemble those observed in bipolar disorder (BD). Notably, abnormalities in the hippocampus have been observed in patients with BD, yet direct molecular investigation of human hippocampal tissue remains challenging due to its limited accessibility.
Methods: To model BD, ClockΔ19 mice were employed.
