TLDR
The MRS score correlated highly with an independent global rating, and with scores of two other mania rating scales administered concurrently, and also correlated with the number of days of subsequent stay in hospital.Abstract:
An eleven item clinician-administered Mania Rating Scale (MRS) is introduced, and its reliability, validity and sensitivity are examined. There was a high correlation between the scores of two independent clinicians on both the total score (0.93) and the individual item scores (0.66 to 0.92). The MRS score correlated highly with an independent global rating, and with scores of two other mania rating scales administered concurrently. The score also correlated with the number of days of subsequent stay in hospital. It was able to differentiate statistically patients before and after two weeks of treatment and to distinguish levels of severity based on the global rating.read more

The niacin challenge test: Clinical manifestation of altered transmembrane signal transduction in schizophrenia?
TL;DR: The notion that the schizophrenic syndromes are biochemically heterogeneous is supported and the existence of a subgroup of schizophrenic subjects in whom phospholipid-dependent signalling responses may be impaired is suggested.

Giuseppe Maina,Umberto Albert,Laura Bellodi,Cristina Colombo,Carlo Faravelli,Palmiero Monteleone,Filippo Bogetto,Giovanni B. Cassano,Mario Maj +8 more
TL;DR: Examination of health-related quality of life measures in euthymic patients with bipolar I and II disorder provides evidence that bipolar type II is associated with poorer HRQoL compared to type I even during sustained periods of euthymia and excluding residual symptoms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sustained attention and executive functions in euthymic young people with bipolar disorder.
TL;DR: Deficits in attention and executive functioning were present in young people who had experienced only a few episodes of bipolar disorder, suggesting that the deficits are possibly trait abnormalities and whether these deficits worsen with progression of illness needs to be examined in longitudinal studies.

A rating scale for depression
TL;DR: The present scale has been devised for use only on patients already diagnosed as suffering from affective disorder of depressive type, used for quantifying the results of an interview, and its value depends entirely on the skill of the interviewer in eliciting the necessary information.
