Background: To determine if there was a difference in the change in patient-reported physical function (PF) between nondepressed and medically treated depressed or untreated depressed total joint arthroplasty (TJA) patients.
Methods: This is an Institutional Review Board exempt retrospective review of 280 TJA cases from March 2014 to May 2016. Patient-reported PF was measured as part of the routine care via the Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System PF computerized adaptive test. Linear generalized estimating equation regression analyses were used.
Results: Untreated depressed cases demonstrated much smaller gains in PF scores compared to nondepressed patients (P = .020). Additionally, although treated and untreated depressed patients had statistically similar preoperative and postoperative PF scores (P > .05), untreated depressed cases experienced a lower magnitude of change (P = .015).
Conclusion: Medically treated depressed patients may have similar PF gains as nondepressed patients. Larger prospective studies may help identify whether screening for untreated depression and subsequent treatment leads to improved outcomes.

Post-translational modifications of proteins via palmitoylation, a thioester linkage of a 16-carbon fatty acid to a cysteine residue, reversibly increases their affinity for cholesterol-rich lipid rafts in membranes, changing their function. Little is known about how altered palmitoylation affects function at the systemic level and contributes to CNS pathology. However, recent studies suggested a role for the downregulation of palmitoyl acetyltransferase (DHHC) 21 gene expression in the development of Major Depressive Disorder (MDD)-like syndrome.

Background: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is the most common Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD). It is characterized by dyspnoea and a progressive decline in lung function, which negatively affects life. This study aimed to evaluate Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) in IPF patients in Latin American countries.

The aim of this scoping review was to map intervention programmes for first-episode psychosis by identifying their characteristics, participants, and specific contexts of implementation. It seems reasonable to suggest that early intervention may be beneficial in improving recovery outcomes and reducing the duration of untreated psychosis (DUP). Despite the expansion of these programmes, there are still some significant variations and barriers to access that need to be addressed.

Procrastination behavior has been reportedly associated with the evening preference. This study aimed to evaluate its difference between patients with circadian rhythm sleep-wake disorders with phase delay (CRSWDswPD) and healthy controls in terms of evening preference and comorbid psychiatric disorders. Thirty patients with CRSWDswPD and 29 healthy participants were included.
