Depression as a risk factor for incident ischemic stroke among HIV-positive veterans in the veterans aging cohort study.
Background HIV infection and depression are each associated with increased ischemic stroke risk. Whether depression is a risk factor for stroke within the HIV population is unknown. In this study the investigators examined depression as a risk factor for incident ischemic stroke among HIV-positive veterans in the veterans aging cohort study. The investigators concluded that depression is associated with an increased risk of stroke among HIV-positive people after adjusting for sociodemographic characteristics, traditional cerebrovascular risk factors, and HIV-specific factors.

Psychotic symptoms during bipolar depressive episodes and suicidal ideation.
Researchers examined the relationship between psychotic symptoms during a depressive episode and suicidal ideation in bipolar patients. Psychotic symptoms in adult, depressed outpatients with bipolar disorder (BD) in a comparative effectiveness study of quetiapine versus lithium were assessed via Bipolar Inventory of Signs and Symptoms Scale (BISS); depressive episodes were assessed via Mini-International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI). The researchers found that, while a small proportion of bipolar disorder outpatients had current symptoms of psychosis during their depressive episode, those who did were more likely to endorse active suicidal thoughts, including suicide methods and plans.

Depression is associated with readmission for acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
The authors characterized the associations between depression and anxiety and COPD readmission risk. They found that depression is an independent risk factor for both short- and long-term readmissions for acute exacerbation of COPD and may represent a modifiable risk factor. They also found that in-hospital tobacco cessation counseling was associated with reduced 1-year readmission.

Non-suicidal self-injury and suicidal ideation in relation to eating and general psychopathology among college-age women.
Limited research has examined the effects of combined non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI)+suicidal ideation; thus concurrent examination is needed to understand potential differential effects on psychopathology. In this study, college-aged women completed self-report measures of NSSI, suicidal ideation, general psychopathology, and Eating Disorder-specific psychopathology. The study found that the NSSI+Suicidal Ideation group was only greater than Suicidal Ideation-only on measures of depression and eating concern.
