Abstract A structured interview was used to examine the 1‐year incidence and prevalence of depression among 116 first‐year university students. While 24 subjects (20.7%) met Diagnostic Statistical Manual Mental Disorders 4th ed. (DSM‐IV) criteria for Major Depressive Episode (MDE), 62 (53.4%) 3rd Revised (DSM‐III‐R) MDE, 27 (23.3%) also Research Criteria (RDC) Disorder (MDD) 12 months prior interview. Moreover, 23 (19.8%) had onset DSM‐IV 54 (46.6%) DSM‐III‐R RDC MDD, during same time...
The aim of this study is to examine the effects personality (temperament and character) on specific depression anxiety. A total 541 Japanese undergraduates were investigated by using Temperament Character Inventory (TCI) Hospital Anxiety Depression (HAD) scale. Hierarchical multiple regression analyses demonstrated that was predicted lower Reward-Dependence, Persistence, Self-Directedness, Cooperativeness, Self-Transcendence; anxiety higher Novelty-Seeking, Harm-Avoidance,...
Background. Depression is a remitting but recurring disease. However, there paucity of prospectively recorded data on the course depression after recovery. Method. A multi-centre prospective serial follow-up study an inception cohort hitherto untreated unipolar major ( N =95) for 6 years. We report time to recurrence recovery from index depressive episode and their predictors. Results. The cumulative probability remaining well without subthreshold symptoms was 57% (95% CI, 46 68%) at 1 year,...
Advanced glycation end products (AGE) are known to serve as ligands for the scavenger receptors such SR-A, CD36 and SR-BI. In current study, we examined whether AGE is recognized by lectin-like oxidized low density lipoprotein receptor-1 (LOX-1). Cellular binding experiments revealed that AGE-bovine serum albumin (AGE-BSA) showed specific CHO cells overexpressing bovine LOX-1 (BLOX-1), which was effectively suppressed an anti-BLOX-1 antibody. Cultured aortic endothelial also AGE-BSA, 67%...
Synopsis One hundred and twenty women recruited from attenders at the antenatal clinic of Obstetrics Department a general hospital were asked to complete ad hoc questionnaires during pregnancy; they then interviewed by psychiatrists using structured diagnostic interview, Schedule for Affective Disorders Schizophrenia (SADS). Nineteen (16%) identified as having an onset affective disorder period pregnancy, mainly (68%) first trimester. As compared with without any such (controls),...
The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) is a common screening instrument excluding somatic symptoms of depression anxiety, but previous studies have reported inconsistencies its factor structure. construct validity the Japanese version HADS has yet to be reported. To examine structure in population needed.Exploratory confirmatory analyses were conducted combined data 408 psychiatric outpatients 1069 undergraduate students. pool was randomly split half for cross validation. An...
The Temperament and Character Inventory was translated into Japanese, and, to confirm the psychometric properties of inventory, three samples were recruited from a nonpatient population. In population A ( N = 555), full version (240 items) inventory with dichotomous measuring, along General Health Questionnaire Social Desirability Scale, distributed subjects. Factor analyses subscales showed that factor structure consistent Cloninger's theory. Correlations scale scores Scale almost...
Parker, Tupling & Brown's Parental Bonding Instrument (PBI), a self-rating scale for the measurement of perceived rearing attitudes parents, was translated into Japanese and distributed to final-year high school students their parents. For each PBI score, ratings parent, made independently by family members, were weakly but significantly correlated. The social desirability score showed only modest correlation scores. A factor analysis data, limiting number factors retained two, resulted in...
Background The psychosocial correlates of depression during pregnancy were explored. Method Pregnant women attending the antenatal clinic a general hospital ( n =1329) received set questionnaires including Zung's Self-Rating Depression Score (SDS). SDS high scorers (>49) (the cases: =179) compared with low (<38) controls; =343). Results cases characterised by: first delivery; more nausea, vomiting, and anorexia; menstrual pains premenstrual irritability; early paternal loss; lower...
Abstract Background Mental health problems during pregnancy are multifaceted major issues. Aim To develop and validate a short screening questionnaire that covers important domains including antenatal depression, tokophobia, fetal bonding disorder, suicidality, emesis. Methods A total of 321 pregnant women who were less than 36 weeks gestation responded to cross‐sectional web survey filled in the 33‐item Dimensional Assessment Mother Baby Organization Questionnaire (DAMBO Q33, available as...
We study the reinforcement learning (RL) problem in a constrained Markov decision process (CMDP), where an agent explores environment to maximize expected cumulative reward while satisfying single constraint on total utility value every episode. While this is well understood tabular setting, theoretical results for function approximation remain scarce. This paper closes gap by proposing RL algorithm linear CMDPs that achieves $\widetilde{\mathcal{O}}(\sqrt{K})$ regret with episode-wise...
Background: Both depression and emesis (nausea vomiting) are commonly seen during pregnancy. The two often coexist but their symptomatic structure causal relationships remain unclear. Aim: To identify a clinical cluster with together among pregnant women. Methods: Using independent follow-up data (Study 1 women of 10 to 13 weeks gestation [N = initially 382 129] Study 2 12 15 696 245]) sets women, we measured depressed mood, loss interest three symptoms (nausea, vomiting, retching). samples...
