Introduction: The present study aimed to compare the Parietal Lobe (PL) volumes and Cancellation Test (CT) performances of euthymic patients with Bipolar Disorder-1 (BD) and Major Depressive Disorder (MDD), and healthy controls.
Methods: The present study included 63 participants in three groups; two patient groups in remission involving patients with BD and MDD diagnosed according to DSM-5 and a control group with healthy individuals. Sociodemographic Data Form, CT, and Hand Preference Questionnaire were applied to all participants. Participant PL volumes were measured with the Cloud-Based Brain Magnetic Resonance Image Segmentation - Parcellation System.
Results: Both patient groups exhibited lower PL volume when compared to the control group, and there was no difference between the patient groups based on PL volume. It was determined that MDD and BB patients scored less in the CT when compared to the control group. There was a weak correlation between right and left PL volumes and CT performances.
Conclusion: The present study findings demonstrated that BD and MDD patients in remission exhibited lower PL volume and CT performance when compared to healthy controls, emphasizing that PL could be structurally and functionally significant in the pathophysiology of mood disorders.

Background And Aim: Linaclotide is effective in relieving constipation-predominant irritable bowel syndrome symptoms. However, few studies focus on the efficacy of linaclotide for overlapping symptoms of functional dyspepsia among irritable bowel syndrome patients. This study aimed to assess the efficacy of linaclotide compared with lactulose in patients with functional dyspepsia and constipation-predominant irritable bowel syndrome overlap.

Introduction: This study aimed to investigate the effect of intermittent hemodialysis filtration mode (IHDF) on intradialytic hypotension and nutritional status in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD).
Methods: Patients with ESRD who underwent hemodialysis and were treated at our hospital from December 2021 to December 2023 according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria were selected and randomly assigned into two groups: the experimental group (patients received intermittent hemodialysis filtration mode treatment, n = 50) and the control group (patients received conventional maintenance hemodialysis treatment, n = 49). Subsequently, the participant characteristics, the treatment effect, the occurrence of intradialytic hypotension, the safety assessment, blood pressure indicators, and the nutritional status were compared between the two groups.

Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is a frequent complication in injured patients. Multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) facilitates rapid identification of many respiratory pathogens prior to formal culture results. Our objective was to evaluate the effect of multiplex PCR implementation in a trauma intensive care unit (TICU) on antibiotic utilization and de-escalation.

Objective: To enhance our understanding of the processes of change and the interaction of symptoms, we applied a relatively novel method known as Dynamic Time Warp to data from low-threshold internet-based interventions directed at decreasing eating disorder (ED) symptoms and increasing help-seeking.
Method: Utilizing data from the Featback study, we examined how various factors such as ED psychopathology, binge eating, vomiting, laxative use, BMI, anxiety, depression, self-efficacy, social support, well-being, and health-related quality of life interplayed over a period of 14 months among 355 individuals at six different time points. Moreover, we explored which symptoms exerted a significant temporal relationship on others (with high out-strength) and which were most affected by other symptoms (with high in-strength).

Background And Aims: Better understanding the challenges faced by patients on medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD), including methadone and buprenorphine, is critical to increasing their use/retention. Social media platforms such as Reddit offer a space for patients to share their experiences with medications. We aimed to identify and characterize challenges faced by patients taking MOUD through analysis of discussions from the r/Methadone and r/suboxone subreddits.
