Background: The relationship of chronic periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) treatment on the development and relapse of mood disorders remains largely unreported. This study aims to compare the incidence of different mental health disorders following antibiotic spacer placement for chronic PJI when compared to aseptic revisions and primary procedures.

Methods: Patients who underwent antibiotic spacer for septic total hip and knee arthroplasty (PJI THA/TKA) were identified in the PearlDiver Database using Current Procedure Terminology (CPT) codes for hip and knee antibiotic spacers. Patients who underwent aseptic revision and primary-THA/TKA were also identified using CPT codes. The incidences of depressive, anxiety, bipolar, psychotic, and stress disorders were identified within 2 years following the index procedures via Kaplan-Meier Analysis.

Results: The risk of depressive (hazard ratio (HR): 1.5; P < .001) and stress (HR: 1.5; P < .001) disorders were significantly higher in those who underwent PJI-THA when compared to aseptic revision, with the added risk of bipolar when compared to primary THA. The risk of depressive (HR: 1.6; P < .001), stress (HR: 1.4; P < .001), bipolar (HR: 1.3; P < .001), and psychotic disorders (HR: 1.5; P = .003) were significantly higher in those who underwent PJI-TKA when compared to aseptic revision, with the added risk of anxiety when compared to primary TKA.

Conclusion: Patients who undergo spacer placement for septic-THA/TKA have a disproportionately higher incidence of mental health disorders within 2 years following surgery when compared those undergoing aseptic revisions and primary procedures. Due to this higher risk, physicians should strongly consider collaborative care with psychiatrists or mental health professionals.

Given the growing concern over the impact of brain health in individuals with overweight, understanding how mental exertion (ME) during exercise affects substrate oxidation and cardiorespiratory outcomes is crucial. This study examines how ME impacts these outcomes during an incremental exercise test in adults with overweight. Seventeen adults who were overweight completed an incremental exercise test on a cycle ergometer two times, with and without the Stroop task.

Background: Although attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is known to be common in psychotic disorders, reported prevalence rates vary widely, with limited understanding of how different factors (eg, assessment methods, geographical region) may be associated with this variation. The aim was to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis to determine the prevalence of ADHD in psychotic disorders and factors associated with the variability in reported rates.

Study Design: Searches were conducted in MEDLINE, Embase, PsycINFO, CINAHL, and Scopus in May 2023.

Cheek swabs, heterogeneous samples consisting primarily of buccal epithelial cells, are widely used in pediatric DNA methylation studies and biomarker creation. However, the decrease in buccal proportion with age in adults remains unexamined in childhood. We analyzed cheek swabs from 4626 typically developing children 2-months to 20-years-old.
