The relationship between levels of urinary 3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenylglycol (MHPG) and symptom scores on the Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression was examined in 31 patients with unipolar depression. Patients with either low MHPG or high MHPG showed significant sleep disturbance in the form of early morning awakening. Patients with mid-range or high MHPG showed decreased work and activities. Endogenomorphy factor scores represented a blend of these findings.

Background: Areas of conduction disorders play an important role in both initiation and perpetuation of AF and can be recognized by specific changes in unipolar potential morphology. For example, EGM fractionation may be caused by asynchronous activation of adjacent cardiomyocytes because of structural barriers such as fibrotic strands. However, it is unknown whether there are sex differences in unipolar potential morphology.

Background: The conventional mapping approach for the atrioventricular accessory pathway (AP) involves point-by-point mapping to identify the connection sites of the AP to the atria or ventricle and accurate interpretation of local electrograms. Omnipolar mapping technology (OMT) explains how vector and wave speed are produced by using both unipolar and bipolar signals to obtain omnipolar signals, directions, and conduction velocity. The aim of this study is to verify the effectiveness of OMT for catheter ablation of AP.

Femoral neck fractures in multiple myeloma patients are usually managed with hemiarthroplasty or total hip arthroplasty, depending on the presence of acetabular infiltration. Due to the paucity of dedicated studies, the aim of the present study is to review the clinical outcomes of hip hemiarthroplasty in patients with multiple myeloma and to review the literature regarding the outcomes and survival in these patients' subset. There were 15 patients (16 cases), with a mean age of 71.

Background: Options for 'treatment-resistant bipolar depression' (TRBD) are limited. Two small, short-term, trials of pramipexole suggest it might be an option.
Aims: To evaluate the clinical effectiveness and safety of pramipexole in the management of TRBD.

Background: Long-term lithium treatment decreases kidney function. However, it remains unclear whether stopping lithium improves kidney function.
Objectives: To study kidney function in patients who stopped and subsequently restarted lithium treatment.
