TL;DR: A significant number of patients hospitalized with COVID-19 experience symptoms of depression and anxiety, while anxiety improves following index admission, depression remains fairly stable.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that bootEGA is a robust approach for identifying the stability and robustness of dimensionality in multivariate data.

TL;DR: In this paper, a systematic review or meta-analysis has been performed to examine the global prevalence of nomophobia by population, by instrument, using the DerSimonian and Laird methodology.

TL;DR: How the conditions imposed by COVID-19 illness and its unique pathophysiology predispose patients to the development of both delirium and catatonia is explored, as well as the challenges imposed by traditionally different approaches to treatment of these two conditions.

TL;DR: Methods of estimating and testing latent variable interactions with a focus on product indicator methods of examining latent interactions provide an accurate method to estimate and test latent interactions and can be implemented in any latent variable modeling software package.

TL;DR: A 43-year-old man became critically ill, receiving intensive care, and his malignant catatonia only resolved after electroconvulsive therapy (ECT).

TL;DR: In this article, a multidimensional measure of misophonia, the S-Five, is presented and psychometrically evaluated using a checklist of triggers that measure the nature and intensity of reactions.

TL;DR: This case demonstrates a successful and well tolerated buprenorphine induction without interruption of methadone treatment or precipitation of significant opioid withdrawal.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors explored the association between gratitude, wellbeing, spirituality, and experiencing meaningful work and found that fostering a grateful mindset could enhance wellbeing and work engagement, which in turn could lead to the experience of meaningful work.

TL;DR: Clinical semiology analysis may orientate the differential diagnosis in general medical practice, between PNESs and TLE seizures, and further studies comparing PNES semiology with other subtypes of epilepsies may complete these preliminary findings.

TL;DR: The cNORM package as discussed by the authors uses polynomial regression to model a three-dimensional hyperplane that smoothly and continuously captures the relation between raw scores, norm scores and the explanatory variable.

TL;DR: Retinal diseases but not glaucoma were associated with mental disorders, indicating that patients with posterior segment eye diseases require distinct management of psychiatric morbidity according to the underlying pathology.

TL;DR: Results of this survey suggest that enhancing consultation psychiatry exposure in medical school and residency with strong role models, outpatient C-L psychiatry experiences, facilitating subspecialty organization membership and meeting attendance, emphasizing academic opportunities of fellowship training, and improving remuneration for fellowship-trained psychiatrists might be important factors that could improve recruitment into C- L psychiatry and other psychiatric fellowships.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors introduce and review the commonly used missing response handling methods in psychometrics, along with the literature that examines and compares the performance of these methods and the use of the TestDataImputation package in R.

TL;DR: In this paper, structural equation modeling (SEM) has been used to estimate generalizability theory (GT) variance components, primarily focusing on estimating relative error to calculate generalization coefficients.

TL;DR: The R package eirm is presented, which provides a simple and easy-to-use set of tools for preparing data, estimating explanatory IRT models based on the Rasch family, extracting model output, and visualizing model results.

TL;DR: The present paper describes the underlying methodology, including machine learning, as well as peculiarities of the processing of language in the assessment context, that utilizes a cluster-based method for automatically coding open-ended text responses.

TL;DR: PR and EF deficit signs are consistent with reduced neural network integration during delirium, even worse in those with dementia whose baseline structural injury impairs network connectivity with frontal regions.

TL;DR: This study demonstrated the feasibility of a centralized telepsychiatry hub to improve delivery of psychiatry consultation within a multi-hospital system with an overall reduction in patient wait time.

TL;DR: In this paper, the theoretical Ising model is used as a likelihood function for estimating empirical network models from binary data, and the authors give recommendations on when to use traditional frequentist estimators and novel Bayesian options.

TL;DR: In this paper, the differences between different estimation approaches for multistage designs were investigated in a simulation study, considering different multi-age designs, number of items, sample size, and trait distributions.

TL;DR: The R package regsem as mentioned in this paper implements regularization for structural equation models, which penalizes the complexity of the model and could perform variable/path selection in an automatic way, and thus are particularly useful in models that have small parameter-to-sample-size ratios.

TL;DR: The attitudinal barriers to prevention of transmission of CO VID-19 are more prominent than physical prevention barriers after the peak of COVID-19, and high anxiety levels even after thepeak warrant serious attention.

TL;DR: B bispectral index monitor + DSA was similar to 3-dimensional-Confusion Assessment Method for detecting delirium in hospitalized patients with and without neurological disorders, and was significantly more accurate in patients with dementia.

TL;DR: This tutorial provides several code examples illustrating how the flexmet package may be used to simulate FMP model parameters and data, estimate F MP model parameters, transform traditional item response models to different metrics, and more.

TL;DR: In this article, a multilevel structural equation model was used to fit a large number of simulated data sets and compared different prespecified minimum ESS values with the actual (empirical) ESS.

TL;DR: A worrying convergence issue with the default settings in Mplus is discovered, resulting in seemingly converged solutions that are actually not, and shines a different light on earlier advice on the use of measurement models for shared factors.

TL;DR: A computationally efficient expression is derived to evaluate the observed log-likelihood and is valid for the special case where the model implied variance–covariance matrix at the between level is singular.

TL;DR: The results support the feasibility of the rapid implementation of virtual care in a psychiatric academic CL service without negatively impacting the learner’s consult psychiatry experience.

TL;DR: A case of a young woman presenting with psychiatric signs and symptoms mistakenly diagnosed with a primary psychiatric disorder, and subsequently found to have Mycoplasma pneumoniae encephalopathy is presented.
