Background: The mental health of patients with nontuberculous mycobacterial pulmonary disease (NTM-PD) has been underestimated.
Research Question: What is the prevalence of, associated factors for, and clinical impact of anxiety and depression in patients with NTM-PD?
Study Design And Methods: Among patients diagnosed with NTM-PD between July 1, 2011, and December 31, 2019, who were part of Seoul National University Hospital's prospective cohort, this study included those who completed the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) at least twice. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was used to identify the factors associated with anxiety and depression. Multilevel mixed effects regression was used to analyze longitudinal trends of the HADS scores.
Results: A total of 368 patients were included in this study, including 84 (22.8%) with anxiety (Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale-Anxiety score ≥ 8) and 83 (22.5%) with depression (Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale-Depression score ≥ 8). The presence of cough (adjusted OR [aOR], 2.01; 95% CI, 1.19-3.39) and febrile sensation (aOR, 4.45; 95% CI, 2.13-9.30) were associated with anxiety, whereas dyspnea (aOR, 4.13; 95% CI, 1.38-12.37) and febrile sensation (aOR, 2.91; 95% CI, 1.38-6.13) were associated with depression. Although the HADS scores of patients with anxiety or depression at the time of enrollment and throughout the follow-up period were higher than those without, these scores declined significantly within 1 year following enrollment. Patients with anxiety (P = .006) or depression (P = .004) received antibiotic treatment more frequently than those without. Treatment outcomes did not differ depending on the initial anxiety or depression status.
Interpretation: Anxiety and depression were common in patients with NTM-PD and were associated with patient-reported symptoms. Although these persisted over time, the treatment outcomes did not differ.

Are breast cancer patients with low distress at diagnosis at risk of psychological symptoms later in their disease trajectory? Considerations for when to screen for distress.
Acta Oncol

Psychological Aspects of Cancer, Cancer Survivorship, The Danish Cancer Institute, Copenhagen, Denmark.
Introduction: To target psychological support to cancer patients most in need of support, screening for psychological distress has been advocated and, in some settings, also implemented. Still, no prior studies have examined the appropriate 'dosage' and whether screening for distress before cancer treatment may be sufficient or if further screenings during treatment are necessary. We examined the development in symptom trajectories for breast cancer patients with low distress before surgery and explored potential risk factors for developing burdensome symptoms at a later point in time.

Inaudible airborne ultrasound affects emotional states in the olfactory bulbectomized rat depression model.

Recently, exposure to sounds with ultrasound (US) components has been shown to modulate brain activity. However, the effects of US on emotional states remain poorly understood. We previously demonstrated that the olfactory bulbectomized (OBX) rat depression model is suitable for examining the effects of audible sounds on emotionality.

Introduction: It is unclear how pre-operative anxiety/depression affects patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) following total ankle replacements (TAR). We investigated the effects of anxiety/depression on PROMs using the Manchester-Oxford Foot Questionnaire (MOXFQ) following TAR.
Methods: PROMs data for primary TAR patients between 2011 and 2022 were extracted from a single-centre regional registry.

Objectives: Depression is a chronic disorder that significantly affects functional decline in older adults, especially those with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Ethnic groups may experience different depression risks and severities, yet the effect of ethnicity on depression trajectories and specific dimensions in older adults with T2D remains largely unexamined. We examined the longitudinal associations of ethnicity with depression and its specific dimensions over time in older Ashkenazi and non-Ashkenazi Jews with T2D.
