Understanding electroconvulsive therapy-related anxiety: a prospective study.

Aims Of Study: Although electroconvulsive therapy (ECT)-related anxiety is experienced by a significant proportion of patients, it remains understudied. Our aim was to study the course of ECT-related anxiety during ECT.

Methods: Seventy-four patients with unipolar or bipolar depression, referred for ECT, were included.

Current Perspectives on Coronavirus Disease 2019 and Cardiovascular Disease: A White Paper by the Editors.

Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) has infected more than 3.0 million people worldwide and killed more than 200,000 as of April 27, 2020. In this White Paper, we address the cardiovascular co-morbidities of COVID-19 infection; the diagnosis and treatment of standard cardiovascular conditions during the pandemic; and the diagnosis and treatment of the cardiovascular consequences of COVID-19 infection.

Effect of self-initiated and fully-automated self-measurement on blood pressure.

Self-measurement of blood pressure (BP) is regularly used to diagnose hypertension and to monitor BP at home. We recently showed that self-measurement of BP may elicit a pressor or 'auto-cuff' response. In this study we examined whether the pressor response is different between self-initiated and fully-automated BP measurement.

Prognostic factors and survival in MEN1 patients with gastrinomas: Results from the DutchMEN study group (DMSG).

Guidelines suggest medical therapy in most patients, but surgery may be considered in a subgroup. Currently, factors to guide management are necessary.

Ecological momentary assessments among patients with cancer: A scoping review.

Introduction: Ecological momentary assessment (EMA) is an emerging method to assess an individual's current thoughts, affect, behaviour, physical states and contextual factors as they occur in real-time and in their natural environment. Whereas EMA is frequently used in mental health, little is known about the added value of EMA in oncology research. This review aimed to synthesise methodological information and results of studies that applied EMA among patients with cancer to inform future researchers about the opportunities and challenges.
