The data on circadian rhythms of melatonin secretion in women of perimenopausal (n=39) and postmenopausal (n=52) age are presented. Each group was divided into control (without sleep disorders) and main group (with sleep disorders). The saliva was collected 4 times a day (6.00-7.00, 12.00-13.00, 18.00-19.00, 23.00-24.00). The study revealed an association between sleep disorders and decreased level of melatonin only in women of perimenopausal age.

We examined how expert academic clinicians participating in the pediatric bipolar biobank varied in their interpretation and application of Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) criteria and diagnoses. Study co-investigators reviewed 12 standardized narratives and for each marked a visual analog scale with their confidence in the presence of manic episodes and criteria.
