Mood disorders in children can include depressive disorders like major depressive disorder and persistent depressive disorder, as well as bipolar disorders. Depressive disorders are characterized by depressed mood and loss of interest, while bipolar disorder involves periods of mania or hypomania alternating with depression. Left untreated, childhood mood disorders can lead to risks like suicide, substance abuse, academic problems, and poor relationships. Treatment involves psychotherapy like CBT or medication like SSRIs and mood stabilizers, with close monitoring for side effects.

C.Z. Case Discussion
C.Z. presents with delusion, hallucination, trouble focusing, thought disorders, and speech difficulties. These symptoms suggest C.Z. has schizophrenia, as defined by the American Psychological Association (APA; 2020). Also, DSM-V include 2 or more criteria present for a significant portion of time during 1 month period, C.Z. has delusion, hallucination This paper describes schizophrenia’s etiology, course, associated abnormalities, and management.
Etiology
Schizophrenia’s etiology includes several possible causes. Potential causes include heredity, stressful events, alcohol, and substances use, especially amphetamine and cannabis, and perinatal, neuroanatomic, and neurodevelopmental factors (Rosenthal & Burchum, 2021; Hany et al., 2022). Social isolation, childhood trauma, family history, and urbanization also heighten risk (Hany et al., 2022). However, the specific cause is unknown.
Course
The course of schizophrenia is varied. Some patients may show subtle, gradual changes before schizophrenia symptoms manifest (Rosenthal & Burchum, 2021). Once the illness develops, acute episodes feature delusions and hallucinations symptoms (Rosenthal & Burchum, 2021). Patients may have less vivid residual symptoms after the acute episode, including suspiciousness, diminished judgment, reduced self-care capacity, and poor anxiety management (Rosenthal & Burchum, 2021). The condition’s long-term course features episodic acute exacerbations with partial remission intervals with progressive decline in social functioning and mental status becoming evident with time (Rosenthal & Burchum, 2021). Others may have continuous symptoms. Appropriate treatment can prevent long-term deterioration and reduce acute relapse risk.
Structural/Functional Abnormalities
Notably, schizophrenia is linked to structural and functional abnormalities. Imaging tests have shown structural abnormalities, including disrupted white matter integrity and reduced gray matter volume in parietal and temporal regions (Zhao et al., 2018). Functional abnormalities are present since schizophrenia is linked to a dysregulation of dopaminergic signaling and increased striatal activity (Zhao et al., 2018). Other functional abnormalities include abnormal neural activity and emotional and cognitive dysfunction (Zhao et al., 2018). Notably, the abnormalities occur over the disease’s course, with Zhao et al. (2018) observing abnormalities before symptoms emerge and becoming more evident with the onset of the illness.
Treatment
Pharmacotherapy is recommended for schizophrenia for symptom management to enhance and maintain recovery. APA (2020) guidelines recommend antipsychotics for patients with schizophrenia (Keepers et al., 2020). Medications for this disorder could be classified typical and atypicals, the first one also by binding affinity with D2 receptor: low, medium, and high. ...
Mood disorders, also known as affective disorders, are a category of mental health conditions characterized by significant changes in mood that affect a person's daily functioning, emotions, and overall quality of life. There are several types of mood disorders, with the most common being depression and bipolar disorder. this ppt contains mood disorders which is useful for the students of Basic B.Sc. Nursing.
Depression
Background
Pathophysiology
• The monoamine theory of depression is that it results from a central deficit in the monoamine neurotransmitters serotonin (5-HT) and norepinephrine.
• Other reported physiological features include ↑cortisol and a blunted TSH response.
• However, there is no widely accepted and definitively proven biological model of depression.
Epidemiology
• Time course: for most it is an episodic illness, but for other it follows a more chronic course.
• Incidence: 5% annual risk, 20% lifetime risk.
Presentation
DSM and NICE criteria
These are based on DSM-4, though DSM-5 does not significantly differ.
Major depressive disorder is ≥2 weeks of low mood and/or anhedonia, and at least 4 symptoms out of:
• ↓Energy or fatigue.
• ↓Concentration
• ↓Weight/appetite.
• Disturbed sleep, which commonly includes early waking. Diurnal pattern to symptoms also seen, with symptoms often worse in the morning.
• Slowing of thought and movements (psychomotor slowing) or agitation.
• Ideas of worthlessness or guilt.
• Recurrent thoughts of death or suicide.
• All but the last 2 are considered 'biological' symptoms.

The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS

Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex System Analysis, S...Oleg Kshivets
RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.

3. INTRODUCTION
Mood disorders are interrelated sets of psychiatric symptoms
characterized by a core deficit in emotional self-regulation.
Mood disorders have been divided into
1- depressive disorders
2- bipolar disorders
4. DEPRESSIVE DISORDERS
Depressive disorders are subdivided in-
1- Major depressive
2- Persistent depressive
3- Disruptive mood dysregulation disorder
4- Premenstrual dysphoric
5- Substance/medication induced disorder
6- Depressive disorder caused by another medical condition.
5. Major depressive disorder (MDD)
MDD is characterized by period of at least 2 wk in which
A) depressed or irritable mood
B) loss of interest or pleasure in almost all activities
That is present for most of the day, nearly every day
6. MDD
Major depression is associated with characteristic vegetative and
cognitive symptoms
A) disturbances in appetite, sleep, energy, and activity level.
B) impaired concentration
C) thoughts of worthlessness or guilt
D) suicidal thoughts or actions.
7.
8. Persistent depressive disorder
(dysthymia)
It is characterized by depressed or irritable mood for at least 1 yr.
Associated with vegetative and cognitive symptoms but the cognitive
symptoms are less severe.
e.g low self-esteem rather than worthlessness
hopelessness rather than suicidality
9.
10. Disruptive mood dysregulation disorder
(DMDD)
In this severe & persistent irritability or angry mood evident for at
least 12 mo in multiple settings (at home, at school, with peers)
This irritability is characterized by frequent and severe temper
outbursts(verbal or physical)
11.
12. SEQUELAE
Approx. 60% of youths with MDD report thinking about suicide, and
30% actually attempt suicide.
Have high risk of
1- Substance abuse
2- Impaired family
3- Educational and occupational underachievement
4- Poor adjustment to life stressors
13. ETIOLOGY
Genetic studies shows that depressive disorders are hereditary
disease
The exact nature of genetic expression remains unclear.
Cerebral variations in structure and function (particularly
serotonergic) is responsible
14. RISK FACTORS
A) physical/sexual abuse,
B) neglect
C) chronic illness
D) school difficulties (bullying, academic failure)
E) social isolation
F) family or marital disharmony
G) divorce/separation
H) domestic violence
15. PROTECTIVE FACTORS
A) positive relationship with parents,
B) better family function,
C) closer parental supervision ,monitoring
D) a prosocial peer group,
E) higher IQ
F) greater educational aspirations.
16. MANAGEMENT
High risk children- First assessed by a pediatric practitioner for severity of
the symptoms, and functional impairment.
Mild symptoms (i.e with no suicidal tendency, psychosis, and drug abuse )
Guided self help - Provision of educational materials (e.g., pamphlets,
books, internet sites) and advice to parents about strengthening the parent-
child relationship.
Modifying adverse environment (e.g., taking action against bullying,
increasing opportunities for social interaction/support, protecting the child
from exposure to marital discord).
17. MANAGEMENT
For youth who do not respond in 4-8 wk of supportive psychotherapy,
or who exhibit moderate to severe, comorbid, or recurrent depression
or suicidality - assessment and treatment by a mental health clinician.
1. Specific manualized psychotherapies
(a) Cognitive Behaviour therapy (CBT)
(b) Interpersonal therapy
2. Pharmacotherapy
18. MANAGEMENT
Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT)- identifying and correcting
cognitive distortions that may lead to depressed mood & teaches
problem-solving, behavior activation, social communication, and
emotional regulation skills.
Interpersonal therapy- enhancing interpersonal problem solving and
social communication to decrease interpersonal conflicts.
Each of these therapies typically involves approximately 8-12 weekly
visits.
19. MANAGEMENT
Pharmacotherapy-
First line-SSRIs- fluoxetine and escitalopram, are approved by FDA for
the treatment of depression, and fluoxetine alone is approved for
preadolescents.
Alternative SSRI-sertraline or citalopram.
20. Evidence of treatment efficacy
Based on a large meta-analysis of RCTs, approx. 60% of youths with depression
respond to antidepressants (vs. 50% for placebo), yielding a number needed to
treat of 10, but only around 30% of medicated depressed youth experience
symptom remission.
Fluoxetine has greater efficacy, with a number needed to treat of 6.
Studies of other classes of antidepressant medications have not demonstrated
clear superiority over placebo.
The absolute risk for suicidal thoughts in youth with major depression
approximates 3% with antidepressant versus 2% with placebo.
23. MANIC EPISODE
A manic episode is characterized by_
1) a period of at least 1 wk in which there is an abnormally and
persistently elevated mood
2) abnormally and persistently increased goal-directed activity or
energy that is present for most of the day, nearly every day
24. HYPOMANIC EPISODE
A hypomanic episode is similar to a manic episode
1) But is briefer – at least 4 days
2) Less severe – causes less impairment in functioning,
- is not associated with psychosis
- and would not require hospitalization
25. BIPOLAR-I
The criteria must be met for at least 1 manic episode, and the
episode must not be better explained by a psychotic disorder.
The manic episode may have been preceded by and may be followed
by hypomanic or major depressive episodes.
27. CYCLOTHYMIC DISORDER
It is characterized by
1) Period of at least 1 yr
2) In which there are numerous periods with hypomanic and
depressive symptoms
3) Do not meet criteria for a hypomanic episode or a major
depressive episode
28. OTHER SPECIFIED/UNSPECIFIED BIPOLAR
DISORDERS
In these disorder
1) symptoms characteristic of a bipolar and related disorder are
present
2) cause distress or functional impairment,
3) but do not meet the full criteria for any of the disorders in this
diagnostic class.
29. SEQUELAE
a) Suicidal risk is 15 times that of the general population.
b) Substance abuse
c) Antisocial behaviour
d) Impaired academic performance
e) Impaired family and peer relationships
f) Poor adjustment to life stressors
30. TREATMENT
FDA approved drugs for the treatment of bipolar disorder
1- Lithium – age > 12 yr
2- Aripiprazole – age > 10 yr
3- Risperidone – age > 10 yr
4- Quetiapine – age > 10 yr, and
5- Olanzapine – age > 13 yr
31. MONITORING

2- Watch for side effects of the medications
3- Acute overdose of Litheum (level > 1.5 mEq/L) manifests with
A) neurologic symptoms (tremor, ataxia, nystagmus, hyperreflexia,
myoclonus, slurred speech, delirium, coma, seizures)
