DEVELOPMENT OF ANXIETY IN BIPOLAR DISORDER

Image
there is an accurate research findings regarding the comorbidity of anxiety disorders in individuals with bipolar disorder (BD). Studies have shown that approximately half of individuals with BD will develop an anxiety disorder at some point in their lives, and about a third will have an anxiety disorder at any given time. The presence of an anxiety disorder comorbidity in individuals with BD can have a negative impact on various aspects of their presentation and course of illness, including treatment response and outcome. Unfortunately, there is limited research available on the underlying causes and optimal management of this comorbidity. However, it is important for clinicians to be aware of this potential comorbidity and to screen individuals with BD for anxiety disorders. Providing comprehensive and ongoing treatment for both conditions can help prevent the negative consequences of anxiety disorder comorbidity in individuals with BD.

IRRITABLE BOWEL DISEASE/SYNDROME

IBS-D is a subtype of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) characterized by chronic or recurrent abdominal pain associated with altered bowel habits, with diarrhea being the predominant symptom. This condition affects approximately 4% of the global population and can have a significant impact on patients' quality of life, work productivity, and healthcare costs. Pharmacological treatment options for IBS-D are challenging due to the heterogeneous patient population, patients' expectations, and the multifactorial and incompletely understood underlying pathophysiology. Currently, pharmacological treatments focus on targeting individual symptoms such as abdominal pain, altered bowel habits, and bloating. Some of the current pharmacological treatment options for IBS-D include antispasmodics, tricyclic antidepressants, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, and probiotics. Newer drugs such as linaclotide and eluxadoline have shown promising results in clinical trials. To guide healthc...

BREST FEEDING WITH CHICKENPOX/SHINGLES

Breastfeeding is generally encouraged for babies, even if they have been infected with or exposed to VZV (Varicella-Zoster Virus). In fact, breastfeeding can provide several benefits to both the mother and the baby, including boosting the baby's immune system and helping them fight off infections. In the case of VZV, breast milk contains antibodies that can help protect the baby against the virus. These antibodies are produced by the mother's immune system in response to her own exposure to VZV, which can occur either naturally or through vaccination. If a mother has been diagnosed with chickenpox or shingles, she can still breastfeed her baby as long as the rash is not on the breast or nipple area. In cases where the rash is on the breast or nipple, the mother should consult with a healthcare provider to determine if it is safe to breastfeed or if alternative feeding options are necessary. Overall, breastfeeding is a safe and beneficial way to provide nutrition and immune ...
