Evaluating the Role of IL-17 as an Orchestrator of Peripheral-central Cross Talk in Depressive Symptoms
The investigators seek clinically actionable understanding of the mechanisms that underlie depression in the context of immune mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs), delivered by a focused immune intervention study examining brain circuitry using state of the art imaging in the context of exquisitely specific therapeutic immune interception in human immune disease. …
The Relations Among Endotoxin, Inflammatory Cytokines, Cognitive Markers and Brain MRI Changes in Subjects With Depressive Disorder
Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a chronic mental illness, with 60% lifetime risk of recurrence after the first MDD episode. Despite available treatment options for MDD, only about half to two-thirds of patients respond to first-line antidepressant treatment, and only 30% to 45% of patients achieve remission. Scholars assume that …
Clinical Validation of Samsung Smartwatch
Objective Wearable technology holds promising potential for mental health monitoring and detection. Samsung has developed an algorithm that they believe can detect signs of depression and anxiety in smartwatch users. They have used this algorithm to create a "Mindfulness Index," which is an easily understood visual index of mental health. …
Inflammatory Control of Antidepressant Efficacy: a Pharmaco-epigenetic Approach
Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a chronic, recurring and potentially life-threatening illness that affects up to 10% of the population across the globe.It posits that the increase in serotonin levels induced by Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs) does not affect mood per se, but enhances brain plasticity and thus amplifies …
Identifying Cerebral Hemodynamic Patterns in Mood Disorders and Mild Cognitive Impairment: A Functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS) Study
The purpose of this research is to measure brain activity in individuals with mood disorders and memory problems using a simple, safe, and noninvasive method called functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS). By comparing brain activity across different groups and relating it to symptom severity, this study aims to improve our understanding …
