A quality assurance study of the development of quality of care in outpatient clinics for treatment of addiction in Greenland
CONCLUSION: For documentation and content, the quality level has increased significantly with time, and the quality of case notes is at an excellent level at the final audits of all treatment centers.PMID:38557415 | DOI:10.1080/08039488.2024.2329583 (Source: Nordic Journal of Psychiatry)

Exploring levels of TSH and FT4 in patients with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), fibromyalgia (FM) and healthy controls did not reveal any associations between fatigue score and level of thyroid hormones
CONCLUSION: As one might clinically and physiologically expect an association between thyroid function and fatigue, which may be associated with clinical disorders such as CFS and FM, we suggest future studies to examine the field further by exploring the influence of thyroid receptors and responses of the thyroid hormone cascade.PMID:38557370 | DOI:10.1080/08039488.2024.2332442 (Source: Nordic Journal of Psychiatry)

Staff experiences with videoconferences during the COVID-19 pandemic in forensic psychiatry outpatients
CONCLUSION: Staff opinions on use of videoconferences in psychiatric patients differed. The nurses in particular were concerned about whether professionalism could be maintained. Others experienced patients focusing more on the conversation when it took place via video because there were fewer disturbing elements. In general, expectations seem to influence attitudes toward using videoconferences.PMID:38546409 | DOI:10.1080/08039488.2024.2331209 (Source: Nordic Journal of Psychiatry)

Psychometric validation of the Danish version of the Major Depression Inventory using data from the Lolland-Falster health study (LOFUS)
CONCLUSION: The MDI is psychometrically valid in homogenous sub populations, but the disclosed evidence of local dependence means that published estimates of its reliability cannot be trusted. The lack of measurement invariance means that the instrument cannot be used to compare individuals or groups unless they are similar in terms of age group and chronic disease status.PMID:38546419 | DOI:10.1080/08039488.2024.2333445 (Source: Nordic Journal of Psychiatry)

The Finnish Adoptive Family Study of Schizophrenia: differences in somatic diseases and conditions between adoptees with high or low genetic risk for schizophrenia spectrum disorders
CONCLUSION: The significant prevalence of genitourinary diseases in adoptees at risk for schizophrenia spectrum disorders suggests that some specific somatic diseases and schizophrenia may have a shared hereditary etiology. More research is required for specific somatic diseases in study populations that can differentiate between the effects of genetic and environmental factors.PMID:38456792 | DOI:10.1080/08039488.2024.2322495 (Source: Nordic Journal of Psychiatry)
