... Pharmacokinetic status of family members, such as CYP2B6 and CYP3A4, have been associated with plasma concentrations of methadone but connections to dose requirements have been more equivocal [7,[11][12][13][14]. Genotypes at ABCB1, a gene encoding a transmembrane efflux pump, have also been linked to methadone serum levels and dose [15][16][17]. As with the CYP genes, a number of studies have failed to replicate the ABCB1 associations with dose (reviewed in ref. [7]). ...

... Ibu postpartum berisiko terhadap kejadian depresi, 10-15% mengalami depresi berat. Demikian juga Chen (2000) melaporkan kejadian depresi postpartum ringan sampai berat di Taiwan sebesar 40%, diberbagai negara dilaporkan bahwa terdapat 50%-80% ibu yang baru pertama kali melahirkan mengalami depresi postpartum. ...

... A literature review revealed two studies utilising the severity dependence scale (SDS), a short, five-item, self-report questionnaire that displayed value in assessing dependence in patients using benzodiazepines on a chronic basis. 13,14 De Las Cuevas et al. 13 compared the SDS to the composite diagnostic international interview in 100 chronic benzodiazepine users at an outpatient mental health clinic in the Canary Islands. They found that the SDS, using a score greater than 6, was able to correctly identify 92% of patients who met the criteria for benzodiazepine dependence. ...

... Previous physical activity is a key determinant of actual physical activity in children (Condello et al., 2017), and there is evidence that an 8-day summer camp is enough to determine positive behavioral changes toward physical activity in the long term (Di Pietro et al., 2004). A previous study on asthmatic children indicated that camp experience improves intentional health behavior adoption (Lin et al., 2008) according to the Stages of Change Model (SCM). The SCM describes this process of health behavior change as a gradual process encompassing different stages, also influenced by self-efficacy and social support (Marcus et al., 1992;Wallace et al., 2000). ...

... -The prevalence of diabetes in patients with anxiety disorders was 11.89%, which was higher than that in the general population (5.92%). -Incidence rate of diabetes in patients with anxiety disorders was higher than that in the general population (2.25% vs. showed over five years, people with diabetes had higher incident of being diagnosed with anxiety disorders (83). Among Australian women, over 6 years diabetes increased the likelihood of having current anxiety (84) Longitudinal studies show younger people with type 1 diabetes over 26 years had increased hazard of developing anxiety disorders by 2.5 times (85). ...

... 11,12 It has been stated that subjects with this endocrinologic disease have increased odds of presenting AXD compared with controls. 13 Different studies have found that anxiety symptoms are as frequent as depression or even more prevalent in T2D. 12,[14][15][16] Nonetheless, most of the mental health research in this field has centered on depression, and our knowledge about the AXD effects on metabolic control is still limited. ...

... We have found in yet another treatment-refractory [43]. Increasing DA efflux in the PFC region is believed to have pro-cognitive effects, possibly through the activation of D 1 Rs, which can also diminish negative symptoms along with cognitive impairment [44], as a number of studies have shown that cognitive dysfunction and negative symptoms may be related in schizophrenia [45,46]. Importantly, region-specific balance of DA in the J o u r n a l P r e -p r o o f cortical and sub-cortical brain regions, which is disrupted by sc-PCP [47], and which may not be optimally restored by AAPDs, could be re-balanced with the co-administration of pimavanserin. ...

... In the context of the analyzed specific stressors, such as infertility and miscarriage, female self-control seems to have a stronger influence on relationship satisfaction than male self-control. Experiencing fertility problems in marriage is a complex process that can trigger extreme emotions, guilt, and shame [140] is a common cause of low self-esteem in men [93] and often leads to frustration [94,141] and helplessness resulting from the feeling that the primary role of men is to support their partners [142]. Perhaps the role of men is limited to support, which on the one hand is very important for women in the context of infertility or miscarriage [96,143], but it is not a leading role from the point of view of reproductive success. ...

... The experience of climacteric symptoms is strongly linked with psychosocial correlates and cultural differences. 53 As recently described, the effect of menopausal symptoms on overall quality of life is mediated not only by SOC but also by maladaptive coping strategies. 16 SOC and maladaptive coping were discovered to modulate the effects of menopausal symptoms on quality of life, and menopausal symptoms were linked to lower quality of life. ...

... We used cross-sectional data from the 2009 Project for the Health of Adolescents in southern Taiwan (Yen et al., 2010). The sampling frame comprised of 202,883 students in 143 senior high/vocational schools and 254,130 students in 205 junior high schools in this area. ...
