Weight change in people with depression and the risk of dementia: a nationwide cohort study.

Depression is a risk factor for dementia and weight change can appear as a symptom of depression. However, the association between weight change after the diagnosis of depression and the risk of dementia is poorly established. This study aimed to investigate the association between weight change before and after a diagnosis of depression with the subsequent risk of dementia. The National Health Insurance Sharing Service database was used. 1 308 730 patients aged ⩾40 years diagnosed with depression were identified to be eligible. Weight changes after their depression diagnosis were categorized and subsequent incidence of dementia was followed up. During an average follow-up period of 5.2 years (s.d., 2.0 years), 69 373 subjects were newly diagnosed with all-cause dementia (56 351 were Alzheimer's disease and 6877 were vascular dementia). Regarding all outcomes, compared to those with a minimal weight change (-5 to 5%), all groups with weight gain or loss showed increased risks of dementia after adjusting potential risk factors for dementia, in all analysis models with a dose-response relationship, showing a U-shaped association. Weight change as a symptom of depression could be a predictor for the future development of dementia.

A Stochastic Bi-level Optimal Allocation Approach of Intelligent Buildings Considering Energy Storage Sharing Services

Comprehensive analysis of nationwide anticancer drug-related complications in Korea: incidence, types, and cancer-specific considerations in contemporary oncology.

The rising global incidence of cancer has increased the demand for chemotherapy, which is a crucial treatment modality. Recent advancements in cancer treatment, including targeted agents and immunotherapy, have introduced complications owing to their specific mechanisms. However, comprehensive studies of the combined complications of these approaches are lacking. This study aimed to comprehensively assess and analyze the overall incidence of anticancer drug-related complications in a nationwide patient cohort, utilizing a customized National Health Insurance Sharing Service database in Korea. Retrospective cohort study. We included patients who were prescribed anticancer drugs (excluding endocrine agents) and diagnosed with cancer. For the type of cancer classification, the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, Tenth Revision (ICD-10) was used and anticancer drugs were classified based on the Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical code. We classified cancer into 18 types based on the ICD-10 code and delineated cancer-related complications into 12 categories. Complications included hematological, gastrointestinal, infectious, cardiovascular, major bleeding, endocrine, neurotoxic, nephrotoxic, dermatological, pulmonary, musculoskeletal, and hepatotoxic effects. We included 294,544 patients diagnosed with cancer and administered anticancer drugs between 2016 and 2018, with follow-up continuing until 2021. We identified 486,929 anticancer drug-related complications, with an incidence of 1843.6 per 1000 person-years (PY). Anemia was the most common complication, with a rate of 763.7 per 1000 PY, followed by febrile neutropenia (295.7) and nausea/vomiting (246.9). Several complications peaked during the first months following the initiation of anticancer drug therapy; however, herpes, skin infection, heart failure, and peripheral neuropathy peaked at 6-12 months. Among major cancers, breast cancer had the lowest overall incidence of complications. Targeted therapies revealed lower complication rates than cytotoxic chemotherapy; however, they also required careful monitoring of rash. This study highlights the importance of the proactive management of anticancer drug-related complications for patient care improvement.

Is There a Difference in the Incidence of Depression between Radiation and Surgical Treatments in Patients with Prostate Cancer?

Patients with cancer have a high risk of depression. However, a few studies have assessed differences in the incidence of depression among patients with prostate cancer (PC) based on whether they received radiotherapy (RTx) or surgical treatment. We analyzed data from the National Health Insurance Sharing Service database regarding the entire Korean adult population with PC (n=210,924) between 2007 and 2017. The adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) of depression associated with treatment were estimated using propensity score-matched Cox proportional hazards models and Kaplan-Meier survival analyses. Our final cohort comprised 9,456 patients with PC; of which, 8,050 men underwent surgery. During a mean follow-up duration of 7.1 years, 503 (5.3%) patients were newly diagnosed with depression. A significant difference in the incidence of depression was noted between the RTx and surgery groups (RTx vs. surgery: 5.55% vs. 5.28%; p=0.011) in the unmatched cohort. In the matched cohort, older age (≥70 years, HR: 1.596, p<0.001) and poor Charlson comorbidity index scores (HR: 1.232, p=0.039) were correlated with the risk of depression. In addition, the adjusted HR for depression in the surgery group was 0.843 (p=0.221) compared with that in the RTx group. Kaplan-Meier analyses revealed that no significant difference in the cumulative probability of persistent depression was detected between the RTx and surgery groups in matched cohort (p=0.3386). In this nationwide population-based study, no significant differences in the risk of depression were observed between the surgical and RTx groups.

The Long-Term Impact of 5-alpha Reductase Inhibitors on the Development of Bladder Cancer and the Need for Radical Cystectomy: A Nationwide Observational Study.

To investigate the long-term effects of taking 5-alpha reductase inhibitors (5ARIs) on the development of bladder cancer (BC) and the implementation of radical cystectomy (RC), a standard procedure for advanced BC. From the National Health Insurance Sharing Service database, males aged over 40 years who underwent serum prostate-specific antigen testing from 2006 through 2017 were identified, which is required for the prescription of 5ARIs. The association between the administration duration of 5ARIs and the practice for BC was analyzed. Of the 3,843,968 subjects, 1,514,713 (39.4%) took 5ARIs for an average of 1.53 years, remaining 2,329,255 (60.6%) as non-5ARI counterparts. The incidence of BC was higher in the non-5ARI than in the 5ARI group (1.25% vs. 0.87%, p<0.001), as was the implementation rate of RC (11.1% vs. 10.4%, p=0.037). In a multivariate analysis, the non-5ARI group had a significant risk of BC (hazard ratio [HR]=2.289, 95% confidence interval [CI]=2.241-2.338) and RC (HR=2.199, 95% CI=2.061-2.348) than the 5ARI group. Among the 5ARIs group, though the incidence of BC was maintained (slope=-0.002 per year, p=0.79) after an initial increase for two years, the rate of RC decreased (slope=-1.1, p<0.001) consistently for ten years during the administration. Compared to the untreated group, 5ARIs use was associated with lower rates of BC and RC. In contrast to the increase in BC seen with short-term use of less than two years, long-term use of 5ARIs decreased the rate of RC in a duration-dependent manner for ten years, suggesting a strategy to prevent disease progression.

The search terms were the combinations of “cluster headache”, “acupuncture”, and “needle therapy”, and the articles were restricted to those published between 2013 and 2023. Only RCTs were selected. The risk of bias (RoB) was assessed according to the revised Cochrane RoB2 criteria.Results: Six RCTs were selected and analyzed in this review. All selected studies were conducted in China. All RCTs comprised 628 participants. Manual acupuncture was used in all studies. Acupuncture targeting the sphenopalatine ganglion was performed in two papers published after 2020. ST8, Ex-HIN3, and GB14 were the most frequently used acupoints in acupuncture treatment. The most commonly used indicators for evaluation were headache attack frequency, clinical efficacy, and the visual analog scale. In each study, adding acupuncture treatment to conventional therapy had significant effects in relieving the symptoms of cluster headaches.Conclusion: The results suggest that acupuncture is an effective treatment for cluster headache. To ensure objective evidence for the effectiveness of acupuncture treatment in cluster headache, it is important to continue large-scale case reports and RCTs.

Exploring the research trends of elderly oral health through language network analysis

Objectives: The purpose of this study is to explore the research trends of elderly oral health through a language network analysis. Methods: A total of 354 published studies with 668 keywords were collected from the Research Information Sharing Service (RISS) between 2000 and 2022. Language network analysis was performed using Textom 6.0, Ucinet 6.774, and NetDraw 2.183. Results: The most frequent keywords were ‘elderly’, ‘oral health’, ‘quality of life’, and ‘OHIP-14’. The result of frequency-inverse document frequent keywords showed similar results to the most frequent keywords. The N-gram of keywords shows that ‘elderly’, ‘oral health’ (18 times) and ‘elderly’, ‘depression’ (7 times). As a results of the analysis of degree centrality and between centrality, ‘elderly’, ‘oral health’, and ‘quality of life’ were found to be high. The CONCOR analysis identified the main clusters of ‘quality of life’, ‘oral health behavior’, ‘health’, and ‘oral function disorder’. Conclusions: The results of the current study could be available to know research trends in elderly oral health and it is necessary to improve more comprehensive study in follow-up study.

Changes in physical activity and the risk of heart failure in newly diagnosed patients with depression: A nationwide cohort study

BackgroundDepression is known to increase the risk of heart failure (HF), and physical activity could be a potential mediator of their linkage. In this study, we examined the risk of incident HF according to changes in the level of physical activity before and after the diagnosis of depression. MethodsA South Korean National Health Insurance Sharing Service database was used. A total of 1,405,655 patients with newly diagnosed depression were included in the analyses. According to the changes in physical activity based on the recommended level of regular physical activity, participants were divided into four groups: never, beginning, maintenance, and discontinuation. The main outcome was the occurrence of HF. ResultsDuring the average follow-up period of 5.28 years (SD, 2.00 years), 69,338 participants were diagnosed with HF, with an incidence rate of 9.34 per 1000 person-years. Compared to the never group, the beginning group showed a decreased risk of HF (aHR, 0.88; 95% CI, 0.86–0.90). Compared to the maintenance group, the discontinuation group showed an increased risk of HF (aHR, 1.16; 95% CI, 1.11–1.20). ConclusionsIn the patients with depression, beginning regular physical activity was associated with a decreased risk of HF, and discontinuing regular physical activity was associated with an increased risk.

Palliative Care for Infants in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit: A Scoping Review.

This scoping review aimed to explore the characteristics of neonatal palliative care in the neonatal intensive care unit, including the features, contents, and experiences of infants, parents, and nurses during palliative care. Five databases (PubMed, Cochrane, CINAHL, Research Information Sharing Service, and Korean Studies Information Service System) were searched to identify relevant articles published between 2011 and 2020. From the systematic search and review process, 13 studies that met the eligibility criteria were selected for the analysis. From the literature review, 2 key principles were found to facilitate neonatal palliative care: family-centered care and integrative care in the neonatal intensive care unit. In addition, the themes found in this review included (1) providing comfortable care to dying infants with respect to infants and offering parents choices, (2) therapeutic communication, (3) support with respect, and (4) bereavement care for parents of dying infants in the neonatal intensive care unit. Caregivers require effective communication, manpower support, emotional support, educational programs, and well-defined protocols. The evidence mapped and synthesized in this review indicates the need to facilitate the provision of palliative care in the neonatal intensive care unit in line with the unique needs of infants, parents, and nurses.

A comparative study of bike-sharing and e-scooter sharing users and services in a college town during COVID-19

Shared micro-mobility services have seen a sharp increase during the last decade only to be hindered by the pandemic. Bike-sharing and e-scooter sharing services are the two main services of shared micro-mobility and are often perceived to be similar. However, they may differ because of different mobility trends, associated with each service, stemming from distinct usage habits, particularly in a campus setting, distinct from major cities. In this regard, there is limited understanding of how bike-sharing and e-scooter sharing services differ or are similar in terms of user characteristics within a campus context. Moreover, the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on shared micro-mobility in campus settings has not been investigated. This study aims to: (a) uncover the users’ perceived barriers and benefits that are associated with each service, (b) determine whether user characteristics and preferences differ between bike-sharing and e-scooter users, (c) evaluate how travel habits and user characteristics can help determine trip purpose of shared micro-mobility services, and (d) detect any change in trip characteristics, namely trip purpose and length, due to COVID-19 for both services. To this end, a survey was conducted between October 2019 and August 2020 in West Lafayette, Indiana, home of Purdue University, gathering 615 responses. Comparative tests were carried out to evaluate the change in trip purpose and length of bike-sharing and e-scooter sharing trips during the pandemic. It was found that commuting trips increased in frequency after COVID-19, while the average trip length during COVID-19 increased for bike-sharing but not for e-scooters. Binary logistic regression results indicate that e-scooter sharing and bike-sharing users hold different characteristics and preferences, which suggests diverse usage patterns. The study findings offer valuable implications for transportation and policy planning in college towns.

Identifying Latent Topics and Trends in Premature Infant-Related Nursing Studies Using a Latent Dirichlet Allocation Method.

This study aimed to identify topics and within-topic core keywords in premature infant-related nursing studies published in Korean and international academic journals using topic modeling and to compare and analyze the trends in Korean and international studies. Journal databases were searched to extract nursing studies involving premature infants from 1998 to 2020. Journal databases included MEDLINE, Web of Science, CINAHL, and EMBASE for international studies and DBpia, the National Digital Science Library, the Korea Citation Index, and the Research Information Sharing Service for Korean studies. Abstracts from the selected 182 Korean and 2502 international studies were analyzed using NetMiner4.4.3e. In results, four similar topics (Korean vs international) were "pain intervention" versus "pain management"; "breast feeding practice" versus "breast feeding"; "kangaroo mother care"; and "parental stress" versus "stress & depression." Two topics that appeared only in the international studies were "infection management" and "oral feeding & respiratory care." Overall, the international studies dealt with diverse topics directly associated with premature. Korean studies mainly dealt with topics related to mothers of premature infants, whereas studies related to premature infants were insufficient. Nursing research in Korea needs to be expanded to research topics addressing premature infants.
