Objective: To investigate the prevalence of PMS and depressive symptoms and to determine their association among Korean adolescent girls using a nationally representative cross-sectional survey.
Materials And Methods: The Korean Study of Women's Health Related Issues (K-Stori)was used. Of the 3000 adolescent girls aged 14-17 years, the study subjects were 2970 girls after menarche. Depressive symptom was assessed with the PHQ-9. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was used to investigate factors associated with depressive symptom.
Results: The prevalence of PMS was 70.5 %. Irritability (43.8 %), abdominal bloating (32.8 %), and breast tenderness (27.5 %) were the most predominant symptoms. The prevalence of depressive symptom was 15.5 %. Girls with PMS were more likely to be depressed than those who did not experience PMS (OR, 1.70; CI, 1.31-2.20). BMI was not associated with depressive symptom. However, a significant association was noted between satisfaction with one's body image and depressive symptom. Ever-smokers were more likely to be depressed than never-smokers (OR, 1.64; CI, 1.10-2.45).
Conclusions: PMS were significantly associated with depressive symptom. PMS should be taken into account in the management of depression. Our study emphasized the significance of a multidisciplinary approach.

Introduction: We investigated the prevalence of new or persistent manifestations experienced by COVID-19 survivors at 3 or more months after their initial infection, collectively known as post-COVID-19 condition (PCC).
Methods: We searched four electronic databases and major grey literature resources for prospective studies, systematic reviews, authoritative reports and population surveys. A random-effects meta-analysis pooled the prevalence data of 22 symptoms and outcomes.

Polyamorphism in organic molecules is a poorly understood and controversial phenomenon related to amorphous materials. Although very few studies, including our own, have demonstrated the existence of polyamorphism in drug molecules, this solid-state phenomenon is still very elusive and the investigation of its occurrence in other drugs is fundamental to understand its formation. Indomethacin (IND) has been recently discussed in the literature as a potential drug exhibiting polyamorphism.

As arthroscopic and open shoulder surgery is increasingly performed on an outpatient basis, optimal and prolonged pain control is becoming more important while minimizing associated adverse effects. Traditional analgesic strategies relying on opioid and nonopioid medications provide inadequate pain control and are associated with undesirable adverse effects, such as opioid-related adverse effects (postoperative nausea and vomiting, respiratory depression, sedation), gastric lining irritation, and renal and hepatic adverse effects. Advances in ultrasonography-guided regional anesthesia have made placement of interscalene brachial plexus nerve blocks more reliable and precise and aided development of novel phrenic nerve-sparing peripheral nerve block techniques that decrease the risk of diaphragmatic paresis and dyspnea.

Ferric carboxymaltose (FCM) is widely used to correct anemia and replenish iron stores rapidly, particularly in Western populations. However, lower doses of FCM are typically used in East Asia, with limited research on their effectiveness, especially in postpartum women. This randomized controlled trial aimed to assess the efficacy of low-dose FCM compared with oral ferrous sulfate in increasing postpartum hemoglobin (Hb) levels and replenishing iron stores in East Asian women.

Serious mental disorders such as schizophrenia and major depression are associated with considerable morbidity and mortality, resulting in much shorter life expectancies in those affected. The discovery of antipsychotic medications ushered in improved health outcomes for people with serious mental disorders but also brought about increased morbidity due to their metabolic side effects, including obesity and diabetes mellitus. Antidepressant medications have a more favorable metabolic side effect profile, but some can still cause weight gain and hyperglycemia.
