Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the effect of anxiety and depression on pregnancy outcome in couples receiving in vitro fertilization treatment.
Methods: A total of 102 couples (102 females and 102 males) with unexplained infertility were included in the study. Personal Information Form was used to collect data, Case Follow-up Form to record the treatment process, and Spielberger's State-Trait Anxiety Inventory and Beck Depression Inventory to measure the anxiety and depression levels of couples. Couples were measured twice: before treatment and on oocyte pickup day.
Results: There was no statistically significant difference between the anxiety and depression levels and oocyte count of women (p>0.05). There were statistically significant differences between State-Trait Anxiety Inventory level and sperm count and between BID level and sperm motility (p<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference between the anxiety and depression levels and pregnancy outcomes of women (p>0.05).
Conclusion: Anxiety and depression had no effect on pregnancy outcome. More studies are needed to investigate the effect of anxiety and depression on pregnancy outcome in unexplained infertility.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a complex disease that is often accompanied by a range of comorbidities, such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and depression. These comorbidities can impact the progression of AD and can complicate treatment strategies. Targeting comorbidities in Alzheimer's disease and developing combination therapies are emerging areas of research.

Background: Due to further development of diagnostic methods of early-stage diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and new disease-modifying treatment options that require early diagnosis, a new focus on predictive and preventive medicine arises. With progress in AD dementia risk estimation, guidelines for counseling, considering individual aspects of those affected, are becoming more important. As part of the trinational project PreTAD (The Predictive Turn in Alzheimer's Disease: Ethical, Clinical, Linguistic and Legal Aspects) anticipated effects of AD dementia risk estimation for first-degree relatives of people with AD dementia are evaluated.

Background: Understand individuals' self-perception of aging is crucial for promoting a positive aging experience, better health with good quality of life, addressing activities participation, and can help by advocating policies and interventions that support the diverse needs of an aging population. This study aims to examine the validity and reliability of the Chinese version of BAPQ (C-BAPQ) for the healthy older people by assessing the content validity, test-retest reliability, and correlational analyses with mental health by Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale (DASS-21), quality of life by the Short Form 36 Health Survey (SF-36) and activity participation by the Model of Human Occupation Screening Tool (MOHOST). Moreover, to study the factor structure of the Chinese version of BAPQ (C-BAPQ) by using exploratory factor analysis.

Background: Research on the relationship between self-efficacy and symptoms of depression and anxiety among individuals with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) has been limited. Furthermore, few studies have explored this relationship within the context of dyadic couples (patient/care partners) rather than focusing solely on individuals. The purpose of this study was to examine the associations between self-efficacy in patient/care partner couples dealing with mild cognitive impairment and their symptoms of depression and anxiety using a dyadic analysis approach.

Background: Within the dementia space, many caregivers lack understanding of hospice care and may not be well prepared for transition to hospice. Nonetheless, few studies have explored hospice transition specifically from the perspective of caregivers for persons with dementia and how it impacts their mental health. In this study, we aimed to examine caregivers' mental health indicators and their correlation structure based on the timing of hospice transition.
