Depression, anxiety and major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events in patients following coronary artery bypass graft surgery: a five year longitudinal cohort study
Conclusions: Generalized anxiety disorder was significantly associated with MACCE at follow-up after CABG surgery. The findings encourage further research pertaining to generalized anxiety disorder, and theoretical conceptualizations of depression, general distress and anxiety in persons undergoing CABG surgery.

The Quality Of Health Care You Receive Likely Depends On Your Skin Color
Unequal health care continues to be a serious problem for black Americans. More than a decade after the Institute of Medicine issued a landmark report showing that minority patients were less likely to receive the same quality health care as white patients, racial and ethnic disparities continue to plague the U.S. health care system. That report, which was published in 2002, indicated that even when both groups had similar insurance or the same ability to pay for care, black patients received inferior treatment to white patients. This still hold true, according to our investigation into dozens of studies about black health...

PTSD, traumatic experiences may raise heart attack, stroke risk in women
Women with severe PTSD or traumatic events may have a 60 percent higher lifetime risk of cardiovascular disease. The study is the first to examine trauma exposure, PTSD, and onset of cardiovascular disease exclusively in women. Researchers suggest physicians ask women about traumatic events and PTSD symptoms and then monitor them for cardiovascular issues.

Trauma Exposure and Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Symptoms Predict Onset of Cardiovascular Events in Women.
CONCLUSIONS: -Trauma exposure and elevated PTSD symptoms may increase risk of CVD in this population of women. These findings suggest screening for CVD risk and reducing health risk behaviors in trauma-exposed women may be promising avenues for prevention and intervention.

Military blast exposure, ageing and white matter integrity
Mild traumatic brain injury, or concussion, is associated with a range of neural changes including altered white matter structure. There is emerging evidence that blast exposure—one of the most pervasive causes of casualties in the recent overseas conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan—is accompanied by a range of neurobiological events that may result in pathological changes to brain structure and function that occur independently of overt concussion symptoms. The potential effects of brain injury due to blast exposure are of great concern as a history of mild traumatic brain injury has been identified as a risk fa...

Development of obsessive compulsive disorder (ocd) secondary to traumatic brain injury-review of literature and comparison with sample of patients from lishman unit, maudsley hospital
Conclusion The main focus of organic OCD seems to be from disruption to the OFC and basal ganglia but other areas have been implicated as has been reflected in the literature as well as the patients on the Lishman brain injury unit, Maudsley Hospital.

Pre-surgical neuropsychiatric evaluation in epilepsy surgery
Conclusion Interictal psychopathology is frequent in patients with refractory Epilepsy: 24–35% develop mood and anxiety disorders and 6% develop psychotic disorders. 18–22% are diagnosed with a personality disorder. The prevalence of these disorders depends on the type of Epilepsy and associated brain lesions psychotic disorders, for instance, are more common in temporal lobe epilepsy. A pre-surgical neuropsychiatric evaluation is essential for the timely diagnosis and treatment of these disorders, which can influence the surgery outcomes and the successful management of the epileptic seizures. A possible assoc...

Delayed and disorganised brain activation detected with magnetoencephalography after mild traumatic brain injury
Conclusions Patients with mTBI showed significant delays in the activation of important areas involved in executive function. Also, more regions of the brain are involved in an apparent compensatory effort. Our study suggests that MEG can detect subtle neural changes associated with cognitive dysfunction and thus, may eventually be useful for capturing and tracking the onset and course of cognitive symptoms associated with mTBI.

Significance, definition, classification and risk factors of chronic kidney disease in South Africa.
The objective of diagnosing CKD lies in its future prevention, earlydetection and proper treatment, which will prevent or delay functional deterioration.Primary hypertension (PH) occurs in 25% of South Africa (SA)'s black population and is the putative cause of stage 5 CKD in 40 - 60%of these patients. Moreover, in this group, stage 5 CKD occurs at a relatively young age (35 - 45 years) compared with other populationgroups in whom stage 5 CKD resulting from PH usually occurs between 60 and 70 years of age. In the cohort study, PH has been found in12 - 16% of black school learners (mean age 17 years) compared with 1.8 - 2% ...

This Is The Number One Health Problem Soldiers Face
What's the most wide-spread health issue plaguing members of the military? While post-traumatic stress disorder, traumatic brain injuries and depression are critical issues that drum up worthy media attention, the answer is much more ordinary: sleep problems. Sleep disorders are "the absolute number one military disorder when people come back from deployments," Lt. Col. Kate E. Van Arman, medical director at Fort Drum's Traumatic Brain Injury Clinic, told attendees at a defense centers health conference on Wednesday. "Among TBI soldiers, it is the number two problem after headaches." Van Arman went on to explain that ...
