Affective bias and current, past and future adolescent depression: a familial high risk study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Affective bias is a common feature of depressive disorder. However, a lack of longitudinal studies means that the temporal relationship between affective bias and depression is not well understood. One group where studies of affective bias may be particularly warranted is the adolescent offspring of depressed parents, given observations of high rates of depression and a severe and impairing course of disorder in this group.

Methods

A two wave panel design was used in which adolescent offspring of parents with recurrent depression completed a behavioural task assessing affective bias (The Affective Go/No Go Task) and a psychiatric interview. The affective processing of adolescents with current, prior and future depressive disorder was compared to that of adolescents free from disorder.

Results

Adolescents with current depression and those who developed depression at follow-up made more commission errors for sad than happy targets compared to adolescents free from disorder. There was no effect of prior depression on later affective processing.

Limitations

Small cell sizes meant we were unable to separately compare those with new onset and recurrent depressive disorder.

Conclusions

Valence-specific errors in behavioural inhibition index future vulnerability to depression in adolescents already at increased risk and may represent a measure of affective control. Currently depressed adolescents show a similar pattern of affective bias or deficits in affective control.

Project description:Corneal diseases are a leading cause of blindness with an estimated 10 million patients diagnosed with bilateral corneal blindness worldwide. Corneal transplantation is highly successful in low-risk patients with corneal blindness but often fails those with high-risk indications such as recurrent or chronic inflammatory disorders, history of glaucoma and herpetic infections, and those with neovascularisation of the host bed. Moreover, the need for donor corneas greatly exceeds the supply, especially in disadvantaged countries. Therefore, artificial and bio-mimetic corneas have been investigated for patients with indications that result in keratoplasty failure. Two long-lasting keratoprostheses with different indications, the Boston type-1 keratoprostheses and osteo-odonto-keratoprostheses have been adapted to minimise complications that have arisen over time. However, both utilise either autologous tissue or an allograft cornea to increase biointegration. To step away from the need for donor material, synthetic keratoprostheses with soft skirts have been introduced to increase biointegration between the device and native tissue. The AlphaCor™, a synthetic polymer (PHEMA) hydrogel, addressed certain complications of the previous versions of keratoprostheses but resulted in stromal melting and optic deposition. Efforts are being made towards creating synthetic keratoprostheses that emulate native corneas by the inclusion of biomolecules that support enhanced biointegration of the implant while reducing stromal melting and optic deposition. The field continues to shift towards more advanced bioengineering approaches to form replacement corneas. Certain biomolecules such as collagen are being investigated to create corneal substitutes, which can be used as the basis for bio-inks in 3D corneal bioprinting. Alternatively, decellularised corneas from mammalian sources have shown potential in replicating both the corneal composition and fibril architecture. This review will discuss the limitations of keratoplasty, milestones in the history of artificial corneal development, advancements in current artificial corneas, and future possibilities in this field.

Project description:Background and objectives-Migraine has consistently been associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) events. It remains, however, unclear to what extent cardiovascular risk profiles might be linked with migraine activity status, and how these profiles relate to the development of migraine.Methods-We used data from a cohort study of female health professionals (Women's Health Study, n=27,539, age ≥45 years at baseline) without a history of CVD or other major diseases and who provided a blood sample at baseline. Framingham risk scores (FRS) estimating the ten-year risk of coronary heart disease calculated at baseline were used to create vascular risk categories. The presence or development of self-reported migraine was assessed by questionnaires. Women were classified as having 'no migraine', 'history of migraine' (experienced migraine in the past but did not experience any migraine attacks in the year before enrollment), 'migraine at baseline' (active), or 'incident migraine' (first report of migraine during follow-up but not at baseline). We used multinomial logistic regression models to calculate odds ratios (ORs) for the association between FRS categories and migraine status.Results-Of the 27,539 participants, a total of 21,927 women did not report migraine, 1,500 women reported a history of migraine, 3,579 had migraine at baseline, and 533 reported migraine for the first time during follow-up. The odds of the probability of having a history of migraine at baseline (versus never migraine) was 76% higher among those with FRS ≥10% compared with FRS ≤1% after adjustment (OR=1.76, 95%CI: 1.39-2.23). In contrast, having FRS ≥10% was inversely associated with migraine at baseline (OR=0.64, 95%CI: 0.52-0.80), and with newly reported migraine during follow-up (OR=0.42, 95%CI: 0.22-0.81) when compared with women with FRS category ≤1% and those not reporting migraine. A similar inverse association pattern was observed for FRS categories 5-9% and 2-4%.Discussion-High FRS categories were only observed among women with a history of migraine but not with active migraine at baseline or incident migraine after baseline. Our results suggest that the life course of migraine should be considered when studying associations with the vascular system. Our data further suggest that a relatively healthy vascular system, as assessed by the FRS, is associated with active migraine status or developing migraine in the future.
