Ambipolar, solution-processed thin-film transistors based on a discotic dye turn into unipolar behavior after thermal annealing. No evidence for temperature-induced change in injection barrier or interface trapping can be found to explain this phenomenon. Instead, a variation in morphology is considered as the cause for the observed transition from ambipolar to unipolar charge transport.

Background: Accurate diagnosis of bipolar disorder (BPD) is difficult in clinical practice, with an average delay between symptom onset and diagnosis of about 7 years. A depressive episode often precedes the first manic episode, making it difficult to distinguish BPD from unipolar major depressive disorder (MDD).
Aims: We use genome-wide association analyses (GWAS) to identify differential genetic factors and to develop predictors based on polygenic risk scores (PRS) that may aid early differential diagnosis.

Introduction: Repetitive focal and rotational activation patterns are currently used as additional ablation targets for atrial fibrillation (AF). However, there is no evidence that all these detected targets are actual sources of AF. In this paper, we present an approach that detects and ranks AF activation patterns not only based on the degree of pattern repetitiveness but also on the extent to which they are able to entrain their vicinity.

Objective: A proportion of patients with bipolar disorder (BD) manifests with only Unipolar mania (UM). We conducted a follow-up study of patients diagnosed with Unipolar mania and compared them as a group if they had a mild depressive episode with those who did not.
Method: 248 subjects were prospectively followed-up to 15 years.

Mental health is vital to human well-being, and prevention strategies to address mental illness have a significant impact on the burden of disease and quality of life. With the recent developments in body-worn sensors, it is now possible to continuously collect data that can be used to gain insights into mental health states. This has the potential to optimize psychiatric assessment, thereby improving patient experiences and quality of life.

Drugs generally used in major depressive disorder are considered inappropriate for the more common milder forms. The efficacy of saffron extracts has been demonstrated in mild to moderate depression and in preclinical models of depression. However, evidence of saffron activity on reduced hedonic responsiveness and motivational anhedonia is limited.
