This article presents the findings of a bibliometric study of mental health research papers published from 1980 to 2008. The aim of this study was to map mental health research in the G20 and other leading countries in order to analyse i) the research productivity of nations; ii) the relative intensity of research; iii) the level of research (clinical or basic); iv) levels of scientific impact; and v) levels of collaboration. This work is the result of a collaboration between Observatoire des sciences et des technologies in Montreal and RAND Europe.

Ventricular assist device (VAD) and cardiac transplant patients experience significant strain on their physical and mental wellbeing postoperatively. Mental health and substance use disorders (MHDs and SUDs) have substantial effects on the quality of life and compliance of transplant and VAD patients. In this study, we compare and characterize MHDs and SUDs between VAD and cardiac allograft patients and transplant list patients with and without VADs.

Previous research suggests that veterinarians are highly exposed to emotional demands at work and that these emotional demands are associated with adverse mental health outcomes. However, little is known about the consequences of the simultaneous exposure to emotional demands and other types of job demands in clinical veterinary practice.

Yet, cognitive functioning is often assumed rather than assessed, and CP follow-up programs focus predominantly on physical functioning.
