Increased psychiatric morbidity in women with complete androgen insensitivity syndrome or complete gonadal dysgenesis
Knowledge concerning mental health outcomes is important to optimize the health of individuals with disorders or differences of sex development (DSD). Thus, the aim of this study was to estimate if the prevalence of psychiatric morbidity in adult women diagnosed with complete androgen insensitivity syndrome (CAIS) or complete gonadal dysgenesis (46,XY GD and 46,XX GD) differs from that in women with premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) or age-matched population controls.

Psychosocial and behavioral factors in acetaminophen-related acute liver failure and liver injury
Acetaminophen overdoses result in nearly 500 deaths annually and a much larger number of hospitalizations. Suicidal overdoses are exceeded in number in the United States by unintentional overdoses. We evaluated clinical, demographic and psychosocial factors among unintentional and intentional overdose patients whose acetaminophen (APAP) toxicity had resulted in acute liver failure. We hypothesized that APAP overdose patients would be more likely to suffer from behavioral health issues and display higher impulsivity scores than the general population.

Epidemiological evaluation of the Patient Health Questionnaire-2 in a pregnant population
The Patient Health Questionnaire-2 (PHQ-2) is a commonly used 2-item screening tool for depressive symptoms among pregnant women in primary care settings. However, its validity has not been assessed for large-scale epidemiological studies. Therefore, the aim of this study was to provide an epidemiological evaluation of the PHQ-2 among pregnant women.

The association between substantiated childhood maltreatment, asthma and lung function: A prospective investigation
Asthma reflects multiple and likely complex causal pathways. We investigate the possibility that childhood maltreatment is one such causal pathway. Childhood maltreatment can be interpreted as a form of early life adversity and like other life adversities may predict a range of negative health outcomes, including asthma.

Serum albumin levels and depression in people living with Human Immunodeficiency Virus infection: a cross-sectional study
Lower serum albumin levels and depression are common among HIV-infected persons. High serum albumin levels may provide protection against depression through its defensive role in inflammation and infection. We tested the hypothesis of an independent relationship between serum albumin levels and depressive symptoms in a cohort of HIV-infected persons. (Source: Journal of Psychosomatic Research)
