There is robust evidence that higher income makes people evaluate their lives more favorably, but there is no consistent evidence on whether it makes people feel better. Analyzing data from five large surveys spanning 162 countries, we predicted and found the most comprehensive evidence to date that income reliably predicted greater positive self-regard emotions (e.g.,… Continue reading #Income robustly predicts self-regard #emotions
The #COVID-19 Treatment Guidelines Panel’s Statement on the Emergency Use Authorization of Anti-SARS-CoV-2 Monoclonal #Antibodies for the Treatment of COVID-19
The COVID-19 Treatment Guidelines Panel (the Panel) recommends using one of the following combination anti-SARS-CoV-2 monoclonal antibodies to treat outpatients with mild to moderate COVID-19 who are at high risk of clinical progression, as defined by the Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) criteria (listed in alphabetical order): Bamlanivimab 700 mg plus etesevimab 1,400 mg (AIIa); or… Continue reading The #COVID-19 Treatment Guidelines Panel’s Statement on the Emergency Use Authorization of Anti-SARS-CoV-2 Monoclonal #Antibodies for the Treatment of COVID-19
Acute cognitive effects of single-dose intravenous #ketamine in major #depressive and posttraumatic stress disorder
Intravenous (IV) subanesthetic doses of ketamine have been shown to reduce psychiatric distress in both major depressive (MDD) and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). However, the effect of ketamine on cognitive function in these disorders is not well understood. To address this gap, we examined the effect of a single dose of IV ketamine on cognition… Continue reading Acute cognitive effects of single-dose intravenous #ketamine in major #depressive and posttraumatic stress disorder
Effect of Early High-Dose Vitamin #D3 Repletion on Cognitive Outcomes in Critically Ill Adults
Long-term cognitive impairment frequently occurs after critical illness; no treatments are known to improve long-term cognition. Research Question Does a single high-dose (540,000 IU) enteral treatment of vitamin D3 given shortly after hospital admission in vitamin D deficient, critically-ill patients improve long-term global cognition or executive function? Study Design and Methods This study evaluated long-term… Continue reading Effect of Early High-Dose Vitamin #D3 Repletion on Cognitive Outcomes in Critically Ill Adults
Comparative Effectiveness of Multiple Different First-Line Treatment Regimens for #Helicobacter pylori Infection: a Network Meta-Analysis.
A number of double, triple and quadruple therapies have been proposed as first line H. pylori infection empiric treatments. However, knowledge of their worldwide and regional comparative efficacy is lacking. We examined the comparative effectiveness of all empirically used first line regimens tested against standard triple treatment, using a network meta-analysis (NWM) of published RCTs.… Continue reading Comparative Effectiveness of Multiple Different First-Line Treatment Regimens for #Helicobacter pylori Infection: a Network Meta-Analysis.
6-month neurological and #psychiatric outcomes in 236 379 survivors of #COVID-19: a retrospective cohort study using electronic health records
Summary Background Neurological and psychiatric sequelae of COVID-19 have been reported, but more data are needed to adequately assess the effects of COVID-19 on brain health. We aimed to provide robust estimates of incidence rates and relative risks of neurological and psychiatric diagnoses in patients in the 6 months following a COVID-19 diagnosis. Methods For… Continue reading 6-month neurological and #psychiatric outcomes in 236 379 survivors of #COVID-19: a retrospective cohort study using electronic health records
#Obesity and Responsiveness to #Food Marketing Before and After #Bariatric Surgery
Although food marketing is often accused of increasing population obesity, the relationship between individual responsiveness to marketing and obesity has yet to be established: Are people with obesity more responsive to food marketing and, if so, is it a stable trait or can it be reversed by bariatric surgery? We studied the responses to three… Continue reading #Obesity and Responsiveness to #Food Marketing Before and After #Bariatric Surgery
Association between self‐reported night #sleep duration and #cognitive function among older adults with intact global cognition
The purpose of this study was to clarify the association between self‐reported night sleep duration and cognitive functions such as word memory, story memory, attention, executive function, and processing speed of older adults with normal global cognitive function. Methods A total of 241 functionally independent older adults (mean age, 75.5 ± 6.4 years) participated in… Continue reading Association between self‐reported night #sleep duration and #cognitive function among older adults with intact global cognition
Efficacy of #quetiapine for #delirium prevention in hospitalized older medical patients: a randomized double-blind controlled trial
Delirium is a common disorder among hospitalized older patients and results in increased morbidity and mortality. The prevention of delirium is still challenging in older patient care. The role of antipsychotics in delirium prevention has been limited. Therefore, we conducted a trial to investigate the efficacy of quetiapine use to prevent delirium in hospitalized older… Continue reading Efficacy of #quetiapine for #delirium prevention in hospitalized older medical patients: a randomized double-blind controlled trial
