Objective: Hearing loss (HL) is associated with depression, but existing datasets are limited by the type of data available for both hearing and mental health conditions. The purpose of this study is to determine if there is an association between HL and depressive disorders within a large bi-institutional electronic health record (EHR) system containing more granular diagnostic information.
Study Design: Cross-sectional epidemiologic study.

Core fucosylation is one of the most essential modifications of the N-glycans, catalyzed by α1,6-fucosyltransferase (Fut8), which transfers fucose from guanosine 5'-diphosphate (GDP)-fucose to the innermost N-acetylglucosamine residue of N-glycans in an α1-6 linkage. Our previous studies demonstrated that lipopolysaccharide (LPS) can induce a more robust neuroinflammatory response in Fut8 homozygous knockout (KO) (Fut8) and heterozygous KO (Fut8) mice contrasted to the wild-type (Fut8) mice. Exogenous administration of L-fucose suppressed LPS-induced neuroinflammation.

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.

Background: Low-dose amitriptyline, a tricyclic antidepressant (TCA), was superior to placebo for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) in the AmitripTyline at Low-dose ANd Titrated for Irritable bowel syndrome as Second-line treatment (ATLANTIS) trial.
Objective: To perform post hoc analyses of ATLANTIS for predictors of response to, and tolerability of, a TCA.
Design: ATLANTIS randomised 463 adults with IBS to amitriptyline (232) or placebo (231).

Background: Clinical predictors of treatment-resistant depression could improve treatment strategies. Depressive symptom profiles at baseline are potential outcome predictors, but little evidence is available, and sex-specific profiles have been scarcely investigated.
Methods: Baseline symptom scores of 1294 patients with major depressive disorder were assessed by the Montgomery-Åsberg depression rating scale (MADRS) as part of a multicenter study by the "Group for the Studies of Resistant Depression".
